Engine Bay Help.

[joeleo87]

hey all,

im looking to improve my engine bay (long way to go) i want to replace vac lines with blue silicon hoses etc. going for the blue look.

now i am a guru on skyrines and know everything there is to know ..... i wish....ive seen breather tanks in the spot of this tank thing, im not sure wat it is tho. so here is the pic. i was hoping some1 could give me a low down on wat it is and wat it does. im sure in not a breather tank???

also im looking at a new intake. i was going to do a blue silicon hose from the turbo to the pod or slicon to pipe then pod. would this work? i have posted in the FAB forum but no1 loves me there. id love to hear some ideas!

That's a carbon canister buddy, it's put there for emissions, you can remove it however, I believe there is a tutorial here on SAU for it

[heslo]

To be honest, that's probably the last thing they would look for and probably wouldn't even know anyways

[joeleo87]

have u done it man? does it improve power?

[Dahtone Racing]

does nothing for power

[heslo]

No, I haven't done it and it will in no way improve power, just give you more room in the engine bay

[joeleo87]

wat about my intake problem any ideas on that?

[Boof]

Mate i've just put mine back into my car, took it out cause thats where my turbo/intercooler pipin all that jazz went, the car STUNK of petrol fumes like really badly thought i had a leak at one stage bad...Put it back in no problems now! It doesn't do anything to harm your performance, so if worst comes to worst move it!!

[joeleo87]
