Im not really sure how it works or why I need it, I just know its related to emissions. But Ive heard that since my motor is no where near stock anymore, and Im running a standalone ECU, that I can remove the entire EVAP system because its basically useless. I think its a big black canister near the IM?? I did a quick search for EVAP, and didnt really find what I was looking for as far as what its needed for and if I can/should remove it. Its not a big deal but its just one more thing that isnt needed so why not remove it. I just dont know where to begin or what exactly to remove. I got the Helms so I could probably get by with that.

 

I left the canister in , beucase i was told thats the smartest choice becuas eit catches some gases or sometihng, i removed everytjhing else with it though. there wa slike a sensor on the firewall, and like 2 vac lines and i think something else, its been a while , my cars runs fine without it though.

 

I just dont know what lines I can and cant remove because I dont know what the hell they are attached to lol

 

its har dto say without looking at it , but the ones that attach to that sensor on the firewall right behind the intake manifold can go and everything going to the canister can go , if you want you can prob remove the can too , but i never did it.

 

thanks pete

 

No prob. matter of fact if in doubt get the print outs form honda as to the whole evap system and pull out everything from there.

 

I was taking a look at the Helms, it looks like I can remove the evap control canister, the evap purge control valve, the PVC valve, and associated lines. Im guessing I can just plug any connections that are left open? Anyone disagree with removing that stuff?

 

mine is yanked out, its just a bitch come emissions time, they check that **** on the visual part of the inspection.

 

i still left my pcv valve in , it still feed to that black box thing in tyhe back of the block , if you dont have that on , it will leak oil .

 

back from the dead.

any other tips or things I should watch out for? I wanna get rid of this crap as half the lines back there are just loose and not secured down to anything.

took mine out.. just chopped all the hoses..

 

so u can take this whole system out and not throw any codes or have no idling probs.
i really want to take mine out to, but wasnt sure.
doesnt the black canister catch fuel tank moisture buildup or something?

so u guys just took your out and plugged all the vacuum hoses or all the hoses leading to or from the evap canister?

 

i just disconnected my evap connector...dont bother taking the whole thing out...just unplug it....

 

but what do you do with the sensor that mount on the I/M. it has a line that goes to the canister and then to some sort of sensor on the I/M

just remove the connector, you will be fine.....i run a hondata p28 so i had bad starts just cranking and cranking.....u'll be fine

 

i removed everything. all that black canister does is hold the fumes/vapors from the gas tank. i took mine all out and took a piece or mesh or fabric or something and clamped it over the line from the firewall so no water or **** gets into it. my car stinks like hell with all the **** i have done to it , hahaha , but it goes fast. just remember unless you have an emissions hook up , think twice about it
