So then , in theory I could just cap all the lines and everything would be okey dokey , right ?

 

Ok , so Iemoved the charcoal canister today and capped all the lines with screws and silicone . Runs fine so far . I'll drive it for a few days and post how it's doin .

 

Sounds good, let me know how that goes. I'm almost positive you won't have any problems.

 

So far I've went 40 or 50 miles with it off . My gas is goin kinda quick , but II've been runnin rich lately too , so I'm not sure whether I can say it's the missing canister or not yet . Plus , I haven't exactly been goin easy on the car , but so far no leaks and no real performance difference .

 

Ok , it's runnin fantastic . Still drinkin gas , but as i said before , not sure what's causing that , but I think it was doin it before I pulled out the charcoal canister . So I would say if you want to remove it , do it .

 

Well, if you live in a state with strict emissions inspections (such as NJ), you probably won't pass inspection.

If you have an S14, with OBDII diagnostics, you're going to get codes and a check engine light.

 

Good point . I did mine on my S13 and no CEL and don't believe I've thrown any codes . As far as emissions goes I live in Louisiana and I don't think we're too bad on emissions , but if we are I know a guy that'll pass ANYONE for 50 bucks .

 

you also don't know what you're talking about.

 

Sorry My Bad Newb! Individual Throttle Bodies were on my mind. I was researching ITBS when I answered the question and confused purge with surge Simple mistake

 

you must mean 50 bucks on top of the regular cost right?? He should be charging $200, shhhiiiiiiitttttt

 

Nope 50 bucks period

 

^^^Ha Ha nice....If you get caught though...oooh I dont want to think about it

 

Yeah that would suck really bad

 

did you tap the hardline that comes out of the bottom of the canister too??? I'm thinking about removing it... the hardline crosses the whole firewall and then becomes a regular rubber vaccum line, can I remove the hardline and then tap the rubber line???

 

dude dont worry bout emissions. We here in louisiana dont have to give a damn bout emissions. HOORAY ! Take THAT EPA!
