I bought one of those things a few years back for a nova with a non functioning heater, it was totally useless. I think my body provided way more heat than that thing. I ended up chucking it and just wore gloves instead.

come on, is this serious???????

the air flow rate thru an engine would need a propane space heater to have any effect... whats wrong with a simple warm air pipe, like vauxhall used to fit?

Anything that says "Powerful Heater Fan" on the top has to be Chinese crap

get some 1mm sheet alloy, bend it around the filter, drill a big hole in it, get some pipe, and bend it down to the manifold, SORTED :p
