Removing Charcoal Canister

[BlackBox]

Hi,

I have a r34 GTT and i want to remove the charcoal canister to tidy up the engine bay.

I have tried searching and have read a bit but i'm still not positive on what needs to vent and block. From what i understand they should all be blocked besides the one coming from the tank which should be vented with a breather?

I would like to remove all the lines possible instead of just looping them together, but im not sure which line goes back to the tank. Is my diagram correct?

Also when i remove my fuel cap it makes a 'whooshing' sound (Air entering/escaping) would this mean that their is already a problem with it venting?

Wooshing from the tank is normal.

Consider relocating the canister rather than removing it as the authorities will slap you hard if they catch you without it.

Thanks for the reply,

Why does the tank 'whoosh' if it is vented/breathing?

And i'm pretty keen to relocate it to the bin haha

i relocated it into the bin and that was the end of that, i plugged one pipe into the other one that runs under your throttle body. Fixed! no cop has ever known any different as it looks stock

Hi guys just wondering if i could get some info on the carbon canister for an r34 gtt.

Mine is partially disconnected and gives a terrible fuel smell when starting the car.

It has 2 metal lines running to the back of the car, then there is a vent with a one way valve on the bottom of the can  letting air in and a vacuum line running up to the manifold through a solenoid.

Am i able to remove this solenoid and connect the vac line to the air filter pipe?

A few things are changing on the car at the moment so would be easier to do this now rather than later.

Honestly.  Better off not removing it. Leave as is. No stinky fuel smell

Well it does get stinky fuel smell now so im not sure the solenoid is working properly.

Does the solenoid just close on boost?

If so i could just replace the solenoid with a pcv or one way valve couldnt i.

Are you using a cat converter?

Yep
