Default Fuel Canister Question..

I bought a 1995 GSR 4drs shell from a car shop last year and I have been working on it since then try to get ready for engine swap. I bought a JDM 97 GSR from H-Motor and now it's ready to be drop in the car but came to find out that the car doesn't have a fuel canister. I'm about to order a fuel canister from Del-Ray Acura but I don't know how is this going to work out. The car is 95 and the engine is 97, so which fuel canister should I order? 95 or 97? Any input would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Thank you.

Although the part numbers are different, I also think either one will work, I would get the 95, then you know for sure it will fit

The '95 and '97 canisters are DIFFERENT. They are NOT compatible.

'95 was the last year for OBD-I, where the canister has only a simple vacuum-diaphragm.
'96-and-up are OBD-II canisters. They have an electrical canister-shut solenoid that the OBD-I canisters lack.

You should be using the canister that is compatible with whatever ECM and harness you are using: If the ECM/harness are '95 or earlier, use the '95's canister; if the ECM/harness are '96+, use a '96+ canister.

RideDaFire posted an image with the relevant part circled in red. That part is the EVAP canister.

I'm running an OBD1 engine harness, so I'm going to order a 94 -95 canister from del-ray acura.com soon.

thanks all for your help, I really appreciated it.

thank you.

It's pretty expensive. I have one I can give you from my '95 GS-R. I can't use it anymore since I'm using the EVAP purge output to actuate the boost solenoid.

These canisters last forever.

If I were you, I'd find a wrecking yard ("auto recycler") which has that generation of Integra, and pull the canister from that. Used will be a LOT cheaper than new!

The yard will also know about interchangeability. You may even be able to use a '90-'93 canister. I don't know, but they will.
