Removing Carbon Canister

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Does anyone know how to do this (apart from the obvious bolts). Do I need to plug the end of the pipes etc?

 

I was gonna use the space for either a cold air feed or a oil catch tank.

 

Thanks

I wouldn't bother. It can introduce rough running issues on VRs.

 

rougher than usual? :D

 

Would I need to plug both the pipes if I did remove it?

Yes.

 

Dunno, the search will tell you. :)

No, they still need to vent to atmosphere. Your car will smell like it has a leak for the first 5 mins of running. Mine has been removed for my charger, but I'm thinking of putting it back on somewhere as I nearly always drive with the window open and it pongs.

Lol

 

Just to go with option 3, plug one but *not* the petrol tank breather (the clear one?).

I had this done when I had my G60 to make way for a cold air feed into the bottom of the airbox and the car never smelt of fuel – apart from when the fuel line perished but that’s another story. It make the engine bay quite a bit tidier without all that pumping nonsense everywhere.

 

The actual breather pipe was plumbed back into airbox if I recall correctly

Just relocate it! It will fit horizontally under the MAF/air intake. Just cable tie it in place. 5 minute job.

I really like your smiley face!

 

I think relocate will be a good overall. I just find it a untidy part of the engine bay. :mad2:
