deleting charcoal canister and vacuum box, how?

[steelbluesleepR]

im doing a full wire tuck/engine bay shave and i REALLY want to get rid of the charcoal canister and vacuum box. is there any way to do either one of these, whether it is replacing them with something better looking or just getting rid of them entirely? i am positive there is a way to do it because i have seen civics without them, but...

can anyone help? there isnt really anyting forward of the doors on my car right now so i cant just look at it and work it out.

Open up the "vacuum box" and remove the map sensor from it. That's the only thing you need from there.

Remove everything else and throw it away. Nothing needs to be plugged/spliced. Just be sure that all vacuum fittings on the manifold are plugged with something.

what do i do with the map sensor?

[d112crzy]

plug it in, except out of the box. it will connect to one of those 3 pin connectors(can't mix em up) that went to the black vacuum box. then connect it to vacuum.

For the charcoal canister I'm just disconnecting everything. Re-routing the fuel breather back under the car instead of the engine bay.

I'll probably be putting the map sensor back behind the firewall too. Run the vac hose through.

Sorry to hijack. I'll start a new thread if you like but its along similar lines. What does the solonoid do that has a vac line going to the fuel rail (h22a) and can it be deleted?

thanks, but what is the fuel breather, the flexible line that runs along side the fuel line?

Yup, that's the one!

will any of this efect your performance?

I'm sure someone could get really technical w/ this, but this is mainly for stripping unwanted stuff out of the engine bay. Plus, if lets say you have a chipped ecu, then all the EGR components can be removed.

would unplugging the other sensors from the box make the check light come on

would unplugging the other sensors from the box make the check light come on

not if you have a chipped and tuned ecu

ok i opened up the vacuum box and there is a ton of shit in there that i have no clue what it is? which piece do i need to keep? i'm thinking about drilling a hole off the back of the IM and attaching the sensor directly to it and out of sight so i dont have another random line and wire loom in my engine bay.

the only one really good with this kinda of stuff is oscar (PR cb7) but i think he's still banned...ill get back to you on that

[d112crzy]

lol, don't trust that retard. He'll start telling you to remove tons of shit and before you know it you'll end up needing it. Just ask Richie.

Anyways, the only thing you need from that vacuum box is your map sensor. It's the one thing that has hose coming out of it(splits into 2 immideately).
