I'm in the middle of a wire tuck on my d16y7 and wanna know if/how to remove the black breather/pcv box. I've searched and found everything but how to remove it and IF it's ok to remove it. The engine is near stock... no flaming please.. just a point in the right direction.

 

I believe it's only two 10m bolts on a 5gen Civic (92-95), as for removing in all honestly off hand I couldn't say what the downfall is.

 

sorry... my car is a 98 Civic DX

 

Its used for emissions.

i had an idea of what it was for/how it works. Just wondering if there's a way for it to be taken off/reroute hoses to an actual catch can or something?!

 

anyone?

 

last bump for the night

 

up?

 

*** update... removed it, no CEL, only had to dump the fuel vent and plug the vaccuum on the IM***
