Quick Question Carbon Canister Removal

[TriniGT]

Okay I removed the canister and have a couple mof questions. I looped the line below the canister to the breather from the fuel tank. On the S15 there is a line from the canister to to a unit on the top-left hand side of the radiator and then one from the unit to the intake manifold. My question is do I remove the unit totally and blank off the vacuum on the intake manifold or do I block the line from the canister to the unit and leave everything as is? Pics would be helpful as well. Urgent help please I wanna start my car tomorrow.

Right. The two metal pipes left after removing the canister should be joined together with a new hose. The narrow hose going from the little rad valve to the canister should be cut and blocked. Nothing else needs doing.

If you want to remove the valve, you need to block the feed to it from the plenum. Alternatively, fit a new hose and use it for something else

I've done the same thing as Nicely shows on his pics.
Been running fine fro the alst 3 years and never had a problem with emissions

Not trying to sound like a Nub, but what benefit is to be had from removing the carbon canister

You have a lovely place to put a catch tank

Nicely,

What happened to your fan shroud?

 

[Nicely]

It was causing too much obstruction, so I ripped it out. Something I'll be glad I did when I get round to sticking my twin fans and controller on

heyb nicely where abouts did you get your cusco tank? ive seen them in a few places but since forgotten, also did it come with the braided breather lines or did you add them yourself?

Its an Apex Performance catch tank with 15mm nozzles. The braided lines came from Hose Solutions.

Got through with it, will take some pics of the finished engine bay and some progress on my car as well.

oops, thought it was a cusco one!

Okay I got it installed but I am having a small problem hopefully, when I start the car the hose that goes to the valve cover collapses as in gets sucked flat. The one going to the intake is normal. After that I get a hissing sound from the catchcan due to the air passing through the flattened hose. What could be causing this?

Anyone can help?
