Default A little engine bay clean-up...

I figured i'd show everyone some clean-up i did on my engine bay. Looks alot better in my opinion. Im not even close to done yet tho, this is just where im starting.

BEFORE:


AFTER:




Removed charcoal canister, organized my emissions/vaccum hoses, and removed the purge solonoid and its hoses. I removed alot of tee's and such from the hoses also. In this pic u can see how everything is routed, and its now down to just three hoses. Oh yeah and removing all this stuff didnt give me a CEL and it ran just as good.


I didnt really think this should be in the A/C forum just in case someone says something, because it has stuff for just CRX/EF Civics

Looks great man, I recently did mine too. It looked like there was a bunch of black spaghetti all thrown into my engine bay, it looked like total ***.

what did you do with the red vaccum line that was coming from the fire wall to the charcol canister? did you plug it or hook it to a vaccum source, or just leave it hang there? just wondering

I will be re-doing this part with just one hose soon, but for now this is what i did.
I put the red hose (which vents fuel vapors from the gastank) into a blue hose that came with my ebay intake, then put the blue hose where the old hose from the bottom of the charcoal canister used to end. Pics below
