Its labeled "Siemens PM106" on a sticker on the motor. Its NAPA part number is "BK 6551005". Napa online also lists it as a Balkamp product, which it was not when I got it at their warehouse store. When I was searching specifically for a "Siemens PM106" previously, it resulted in Siemens having discontinued production. The part I bought was absolutely full of dust so it had been there for a long while. I've swapped the cage over and it fits fine. All thats left for that quick project is to put it back in the car.

Dont even get me started on weak blower performance!

Now that I am started, things which could cause poor blower performance...

Wrong motor (spins backwards, should be CCW when looking down at shaft)
Wrong squirrel cage (should have an arrow on it indicating proper direction, again CCW)
Debris plugging evaporator (stick your DROID BIONIC through the motor opening and take a picture)
Air leakage in back of HVAC box (the "hot air leak" issue with the rear sealing foam)
Air leakage into doors (the two door vents get the most out of the blower, if their going to waste your loosing a LOT)
Debris plugging fresh air intake (though you shouldn't notice this when on MAX AC)

Anymore bits on blower fans and AC performance we can take to an AC thread!

I keep meaning to ask this and forgetting... where is the fresh air intake located?

Under the plastic grill below the windshield on passenger side.

I found out that the bearings in my water pump are shot :mad2: As if that was bad enough I was planning to take the car on a road trip to DMC Cali tomorrow.

Finished installing new blower motor. Good to have at least one thing crossed off the list now.

Cut the nuts off my DeLorean..

the nuts on the top of the rear left shock were seized so after rounding them off, I used the Dremel tool on them!

Using Leatherique on the the DMCH seat covers. The car is sitting in the sun right now. The leathers are pretty much fine, but I thought I'd treat them to a good rejuvenation. Also removed some scratches.

Getting closer...
