Was wondering where people mount catch cans in their EF's? anybody have any pic or ideas? doesnt look like there is too many options to place 1?

 

Mountain Dew can on the firewall.

 

where do you run the lines to though?

i've been reading the dozens of posts but cant define exactly where to run them on the ef's (d16a6, zc sohc)

 

Not mine: (I think its Ferd's from ATS, really hot bay)

That leads me to another? Can you just rip all that charcoal canister stuff out without your engine codeing?

 

i replaced the charcoal canister with an old civic radiator reservoir. fits like stock in its place with the tapered bracket, just like our reservoirs do. yes, you can just remove the whole charcoal canister and plug the solenoid valve on the firewall.






(the intake is custom too, 3" ducting and duct tape)

 

heres mine, mine takes the place of the charcoal canister as well, plus some stuff i made the box myself out of 20ga steel, then had it powdercoated. it also has two seperate chambers, one for the ports of the rear of the block, and one for the valve cover, thats the reason for two filters.

 

nice well i just went to the garage and ripped all my charcoal canister stuff out. I ended up replacing the firewall hose with 5/16 hose and put a check valve in the middle and ran it down to the original hole in the wheel well

 

mine looks like this

 

Not installed yet, BUT it will be going where the charcoal canister was, like everyone already mentioned.

 

charcoal canisters suck

 

so how are they excalty run? one hoe to the valve cover and other hoe to the black box on back of the block?

Good job, thats the gas vent tube. Thats what your supposed to do with it, send it out of the bay!

look at that sexy *** valve cover

 

h8ter man thats a horrible location. Put it where the charcoal canister is. We live in AL....whats emissions!!!??

 

Im gonna get flamed for this but, what exactly is the purpose of replaceing the charcoal canister?

 

the charcoal canister is made to clean the fumes coming out of the gas tank. when the car is off, the tank vents to atmosphere, and fuel vapor is not very eco friendly. passing it thru deactivated carbon (charcoal) passively cleans bad stuff as it goes thru. (brita water filters and many other types of filters are just deactivated carbon).

but really, its not that big a deal. and after so many years, its pretty much not doing anything anymore, at least thats what some ppl say. but whatever. its just taking space in the engine bay.

the point is not to REPLACE the charcoal canister, its just to use the space it originally takes up to put the catch can.


i also agree that behind the intake manifold placing a flat catch can is a pretty good place if you must maintain the charcoal canister. but i think putting a vertically mounted catch can in place of the charcoal canister is the best place.


*btw, deactivated charcoal also helps purify your body of bad hangovers, thats why the myth of eating burnt toast after drinking helps with hangovers! deactivated charcoal is the main ingredient in chaser+ hangover products too...

answer to your question yes you can no check engine code... just make sure you re-route your vent line from the tank out the side and dont let those fumes linger in the engine bay

 

Ok i got a cusco oil catch can and directions came in japenese my luck. I'm wondering its got 3 hose nozzles coming off of it. 2 up top one on bottom. I know one goes to valve cover but where does other 2 go?

a canister doesn't clean the vapors, its simply a storage area for the vapors before they can be burned in the engine

 

damn no body answer my question how do they run? a hoe to a valve cover and other one to the black box on back of the block ?
