Evap Purge and IAB Valve Question
Hi everyone, I have a 94 GSR motor that was once in my 91 Teg, but now I'm swapping it into a 93 Civic Hatch DX. When I was looking over the motor last night, I noticed that I didn't have a Evap Purge valve. As for the IAB valve, I have the little black cannister looking thingy underneath the intake manifold but there was no electrical plug from the harness connected to it. And for the Evap Purge valve, not only is there no plug but there is no valve, the whole thing is missing. Well anyhow, my question is, will either of these things effect the performance of my motor or are they strictly for emmission purposes? When the motor was in my Teg, the CEL came on every now and then, but the car drove completely fine. I bought a stock 94 GSR engine harness and it has both plugs, but would there be any negative effects on my motor if I don't have these two valves? The reason why I am asking is because I don't have a spare Evap Purge valve and if these 2 things aren't really necessary, not only do I not have to buy a new Evap, but it will save me the time and effort of having to do the wiring for both of them. I don't really care for the emmissions part of it cuz I wouldn't pass smog anyhow due to boost. So let me know what u guys think. Any replies would be appreciated. Thanks!

IC, so the Evap has no effect on the performance huh? Only the IAB? If that's the case that'll be great cuz I have the IAB and plug, I just don't have a Evap Valve.

Its crazy...the IABs to the GSR are like the EVAP to the stock civic motor...You can repin the wire at A20 into A17 for IAB...Then you take that plug that went to the EVAP and plug it in the IAB...Thats it for that...
