Hello,
I was wondering if anyone else with a USDM B18B1 has a charcoal breather canister on the back of their block. I got my swap from IAS, and it's a 98. My PCV valve goes directly from the back of the valve cover to the intake manifold. I know my D16Y8 had a charcol canister on the back of the block, and the PCV valve was on top of that, then ran to the IM. I looked at my cousin's B18A, and it's setup the same way, with a charcoal canister and the PCV running from there to the IM. Do all B18B's lack a charcoal canister? I'm mostly concernec about this because I'm in California and I want to get my swap BAR approved. Will the ref look for a charcoal canister?

My setup looks like the lower left corner of this pic, while my cousin's B18A and my Y8 look like the other part. #1 is the canister.

Any insights are greatly appreciated.

The 96-01 B18B1 motors are designed with the PCV system integrated into the valve cover/manifold. As you mentioned your D16Y8, the 90-93 B18A1 and 94-95 B18B1 have the PCV canister on the back of the block. You aren't missing anything, that's how the 96-01 Integra B18B1 motors are designed.

Awesome. Thanks for alleviating my paranoia. w00h00, once I get rid of this dumb AFC hack and the #13 baro code it's causing, I'm gonna make my appointment with the ref.
