Stupid question time: Where's my block heater? - Click HERE for Original Thread

the_fornicator
I think I might be partially retarded. I googled around and checked the owner's manual and for the life of me, I can't find the plug in to the block heater on my 2000 SiR :mad:

any ideas?

Godzilla
into the block heater or coming out of the car. not that it matters to me because i don't know either way. but just incase someone might know i figured it should be clarified. im gonna shut up now

There's always the possibility that the original owner cheaped out and didn't get a block heater installed. Just look around for wires heading out the front of the grill.

I had to install one in my engine here before we put it back in and it was pretty cheap for a genuine Toyota unit (~$30). The big cost with having them installed is labour.

its behind the exhaust manifold on honda's, you might have the plug, just not the cord..

the_fornicator
hey cool thanks.

how much labor do you think one would be looking at to install a block heater? just curious is all.

p.s/ figured while I'm typing (don't wanna create another thread)... does anybody know a decent place to pick up a K&N cold air intake filter?

Godzilla
just the filter for a cold air intake, or a drop in filter. i bought my K&N from crappy tire they were the cheapest i found.

egtuner
u coudl likely do it yourself if you have the time and warm place, its a 24MM i think, then it just screws the plug out, then screw your heater in, then plug the wire in and done..

the_fornicator
yeah, just the filter for the CAI.

weird, I checked crappy tire's website and they listing nothing for filters*

* there's always an assumed disclaimer on my posts stating that I could very well be an idiot and not have searched properly.

egtuner
