Pic request : carbon canister removal
 

Hi guys, I have searched for carbon canister removal on a classic and most of the threads are so old that peoples pictures arn't hosted anymore and have dissapeared.

Can anyone that has removed their carbon canister show me some pics of the progress, or even just a finished artical and i'll work it out for myself. I just need to know what I have to connect to what, and what sort of T piece im going to need for this.

My scoob is a MY98 classic wagon. Thanks people!!

Ta-da. ;)

Thanks, il see if that helps tomorrow. Could you possibly explain what you've done briefly?

See the looped pipe(s), that is all. Threw the rest of the carbon canister gubbins away. :thumb:

Thanks Micky, although im sure mine has 3 pipes to the top of the canister? I assumed it was different between early and late classics? A pic of mine .......

Excuse the stupid blue bits and the dirtyness, its how I got it....:Whatever_

Where does the left hand side pipe go to on yours?

Pretty sure on my mates old MY00 all we did was the same as mine, was a good while ago now though. :wonder:

To be honest I couldnt tell you off the top of my head, I will find out tomorrow as my car is in its garage a short drive from here and I have a date with my xbox tonight....:lol: Thanks for your help, its appreciated!

:lol1:

No worries. Enjoy the "date" ;)

Removed mine when I done my DIY Projector Retrofit :D

NB: I know I got the diag slightly wrong..... (4mm to 6mm connector is NOT LMA308)

Hope it helps mate :thumb:

sorry to hi-jack post and this may be a stupid qestion but what dose removing this actually achieve and isnt it there for a reason, jus wondering coz if its not needed i might do mine this weekend cheers guys

Im doing it mainly to clean up the engine bay and get rid of some of the rubbish in there. From some quick research iv done on here, it dosent seem to serve much of a purpose and isnt going to effect the running or safety of the engine. So its going in the bin! Along with the air con.

Thanks for that Darms, looks pretty simple. Where did you get yur Y pieces?

Connectors are available from LMA Performance Homepage - UK Supplier of Car / Automobile Custom Parts and Accessories :)

be interesting to see if there is any issues removing this

i just ripped all mine out the other day. stuff y pieces and the likes.

will correct it all shortly.

Phil739, From some light research on here it seems that no one has ever had a problem with removal of this. I dont think the Jap models even have it? We shall see i guess!

Darms, in your picture basically i can just VTA everything? Will i need any extra hose?

jap models did have it. i do! well did

After a bit more reading it appears that they did, but only had 2 connectors on the top, rather than the three I have!

sorry mate and it seems im trying to argue when im not. but i have the 3 connectors. and the 95 wrx i have in the garage does as well

I think im confusing myself more than I need to! This is going to be the first car that I really get stuck into, so its all a learning curve for me!

Anybody else with some more pics out there?!

Yeah you can VTA everything. You will need some extra hose, I sourced mine from ebay ;).

It's really easy to do - if i get a chance over the weekend I'll take a few more pics :D

So what about the early Import classics that only have 2 ports? Can you do as above and simply loop one to the other? TBH Im not entinrely sure what It does and what effect it has removing the can? I Might jog mine on too, just a bit of clutter.
