harnessing the heat..
has anyone tried to harness or channel the heat produced from the resistor coils for something usefull??? i was thinking of using like some 2 1/2 in tubing mounted to one end of the coils and running up to the driver.. at the other end of the coils mount a computer fan and have it blow the heat from the coils into the tube and up to the driver.. possible heater!!! what do u think

Re: harnessing the heat..

Re: harnessing the heat..
Remember, at WOT and No throttle you'll blow cold air because the coils are out of the circuit...but yea, Try it and let us know what happens

Re: harnessing the heat..
true and i thought of that... but via use of relays it could work.. and possibly extend the life of the coils a bit by keeping em cooler...
