Hi Roland
I have a similar set up in my 914 but without the water thermostat,
Using one will reduce the water temperature in the Radiator but will
Increase the engine water temperature only,
You would be better of fitting a cowl flap to reduce cold airflow through
The radiator so increasing air temperature behind the radiator then to the
cabin,
My heater certainly takes the chill out of the air making flying pleasant
down to minus 5 C, but it isn=92t as warm as the average car heater,
This I intend to rectify this winter=92s maintenance layup with improved
Ducting and insulating the heat trunking to the cockpit
