First of all, thanks for clicking on this topic.

Here's my problem. I am in the middle of swapping in a j-spec Integra engine into my 00 Civic hatch. The problem arises when I realized that j-spec motors don't use a charcoal canister. So what do I do w/ the huge one hooked up on the Civic? Do I remove it or find a way to use it somehow?

Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.

 

are you using the OBD2 ECU?

I'll be using a jdm p73 ECU.

 

So JDM does not have charcoal canisters? You'll have to block off the line that feeds the canister- that would be easiest

 

Thanks for your suggestion.

One of the thing is that since jdm Hondas do not run a canister, they do not have the inlet nipple on the intake manifold for the line from the canister.

So I guess for the meantime I will just vent that line outside the car somewhere.

 

If the ECU does not have any provision for purging the canister- it will not purge. If it does, you can put the line anywhere along the intake piping before the throttle plate (as long as you are not running forced induction)
