How to Remove the Charcoal Canister?
Emissions stuff is not needed on a race car, but I do not see where all the lines are coming and going. How do you remove this canister and what do you need to do?

The way I read the rule book any emissions items may be removed. If you ask me this is a emissions item, no?

I am missing something? What does the map sensor have to do with the charcoal canister? Does one of the vacuum lines connect to the sensor?

Mechanically the two don't interact. However, all of the solinoids are on the same bracket so you can't just remove the whole braket.

yes you can just flip the sensor uside down and secure it to the firewall using a 10mm nut on a newly avail stud
Jut run the vapor line from the hardline to the TB where the red hoe port goes and you'll be fine

I think Travis and the rest are stuck in ITA 88-91 Civic/CRX land. Theirs, as well as mine, MAP location is different from yours.
Yours is mounted on top of your throttle body and has nothing to do with what they are referring to.

Re: How to Remove the Charcoal Canister? (Mr Hammond)
Looks simple enough, although is this the right proceedure on the gas tank return side? I would think leaving it open is bad.

Ok, that is not my picture but yes I did write it some time ago.
The tank has to have a vent some where, you could use a vented gas cap with a rollover valve but just plug it up and see how far you get!

Does this apply to an ITC Civic as well? This is not MPFI, it's the DPFI throttle body type. I'm sure it is the same with this D15B1 as it would be on a D16A6, but I thought I would ask before hand in case there was an issue with it.

Re: How to Remove the Charcoal Canister? (H5Civic)
I was looking into this today and it looks simple enough, although I am curious what does the evap purge valve do? do I just cap this to avoid any issues?

Re: How to Remove the Charcoal Canister? (VTECAcuraGSR)
just take it out and plug any vaccum sources on the engine that are associated with the canister

Re: How to Remove the Charcoal Canister? (chad)
My only reason to get rid of the tank was just to eliminate one more thing that is to worry about, but I am not sure that I like the idea of gas fumes being vented into the engine compartment. Is this a true concern?

I'm in the same boat, I'm thinking about taking it out but wanted to know the best way to vent the gas fumes away from the engine compartment. Anyone have suggestions?

Re: How to Remove the Charcoal Canister? (El Pollo Diablo)
what can happen if you connect the two red hoses together? basically connected the fuel vapor line to the throttle body?

yup, everyone says plug it all up and have the one line from the firewall as a "drain line" meaning no one connects the two hoses together...i dont think anything bad would happen since basically the charcoal canister was the middle man, but i was wondering why no one puts the lines together...
its really not that big deal of a question...

I guess it would be bad to vent vapor into the TB. :-P its like getting a weak *** 5th injector lol.
