Most R33, they have it sitting near the air Box,

but some how mine is on the driver side, under the guard. Not in the engine bay, its siting like a SMIC position, but on the driver side.

Bought it that way, and its 1 huge mathafaka. I seen other small canister, but my is like 3-4 times bigger!

I've just been looking at my carbon canister and things don't seem right. Mine is in the drivers side guard. It has 3 fittings on the top, one is going to the tank, one to air, and one to the manifold. The hose coming off the throttle is blocked off. Is this a factory item or something that's been put on later? How should it be plumbed in, ie should the throttle hose be connected? There's no markings for where the fittings are meant to go.

There are three lines to the canister.

The most important of which comes from the fuel tank. Do not just blank this off or worse, leave the open end near your nice, hot turbo.

The other two lines connect into the engine intake.

The canister can be relocated to the RHD drivers side after you move the battery to the boot. Happilly the two connections to the engine intake are plumbed across the front of the motor. So you can use one of them to reconnect the fuel tank line to the relocated cannister. The two lines from the engine intake are then nice & close to the cannister & are easy to hook up.

That is what I did anyway.

Post #12 if you read it, is pretty self explanatory.

Not quite, the one I have is Australian made so I assume it was added during compliancing. The factory one seems to have had 2 connections for the intake, this one only has 1. Currently it has 1 air, 1 fuel and 1 intake line. Is it worth getting a replacement stock one, or stick with what I've got? If I stick with it, is the line to the intake better plumbed into the throttle body or manifold, or maybe use a t piece and connect it to both? Is a connection to air even needed?

Is your car turbo? - sounds like your cannister is missing the purge valve on top, meaning its for a NA car usually.

The connection is needed to draw fumes from the cannister into the motor, and bring fresh air from in underneath.

Good question about where you put that single line. As theres no boost pressure to worry about, id say hook it up to the plenum... someone correct me if im wrong, i haven't worked on a non turbo car in like a decade :D

My car's a gts-t, which is what got me worried. I suspect this canister is some cheapy, and that if it doesn't have a valve built in then it's letting boost in. The tank always seems to have a lot of pressure when I open it, and i sometimes get weird blow off valve type sounds from the guard so it's time to get hold of a stock one and put things right again...

the top fitting on my canister has been melted off with a lighter. it looks as tho this is one of the two that goes to the manifold, was just hoping it wasnt the one that vents back to the fuel tank. this could be a reason that my engine is running so rich...

Hi,

I've seen a post on here before about this but I can't find it anywhere after doing numerous searches :) So ill just ask again :D

What I wanted to know is how do I get rid of or re-rout that charcoal canister thing in front passenger side of the engine bay. If anyone knows how to do this or even know what im talkin about if you could help me out it would be great thanks.

Cheers

If you want to do this to get more power don't waste your time. People used to do this back in the days of 186's and 202's. It made a difference on these cars cos the 202 or 3.3L as some would call it, had only 101kw at the flywheel.

If you want more power get a bigger turbo.

If you absolutely must do this then just block the vac lines to the manifold and leave the fuel purge line just hanging there. Expect to smell fuel vapours in the cabin.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
