add on heater

here is the link to the heater i am thinking seriously about adding to the teryx. by suggestion.

my questions is about the draw on the electrical system and if it can handle the load.

3-speed operation: 172 CFM (3.9-amp draw) 228CFM (5-amp drow) 263 CFM (7.7-amp draw)



what do you guys think

Hmmmmm, That doesn't seem to be much in the way of heat. Power in the term of watts is only 92.4 watts on high. The formula is P=I*E where P= watts, I= Amps, E=voltage. 7.7*12=92.4

heat comes from the engine coolant

Oh ok I didn't open the link. That shouldn't be bad then. On high thats about the same as running 2 halogen lights, if I remember right halogens are 55 watts each.

Just make sure your battery is fully charged...I keep a battery tender on mine at least 2 days before I ride.

It will be ok! Good luck with the install

Where would be an ideal place to mount something lime this on a rzr?

09rzr, check my posts and you will find where I just put mine in the rzr, fit like a glove!

i am thinking under my hood is good not sure about routing yet. should help in summer too? if i could make a bracket on the upper frame rails and then route the vents through the access panel in the "firewall" it would be less cutting of plastic and stuff.

What is the heater below the mojave heater in comparison , I saw it when I hit the above link to JC whitney For the heater it was $59 ?

mojave has a vent kit and a heater they have 2 different prices

I have the jc Whitney heater n love it, wish it had more btu's at low speed but it beats that other one with 12000 btu's. I've had it 2 years no problem, for 59.99 u get what u pay for (junk) spend the 181.00 n you'll be happy not pissed.

Now are you guys running full cabs with these heaters pr just front and back windows and doors?

Half doors, front n rear windshield n stay pretty comfortable, also roof

For winter riding I used to use a canvas army tarp to make a roof out of and ran it back to back pf the bed and just the heat from the motor was enough to keep it warm...and that was without doors...

Did you get any exhaust fumes from that...

It actually wasn't too bad being poor and not having doors kept some air moving but it wasn't enough air to freeze you...
