Charcoal canister - for emmissions.

[LiQuid IcE]

on that same note... see how the hoses coming out of this 'charcoal canister' connect to the goldy coloured pipes under the cross over pipe...

why is thair only one connected in our Stagea and the other one blocked off?

is there some sort of performance upgrade related to this?

[heslo]

What function does a charcoal canister actually do may I ask?

[m.i.c]

The CC keeps the tree's green

it catches 'solid' emmisions? is that correct?

Cheers,

Mick.

catches or converts evaporations from the fuel tank i belive

Is it necessary for the car to be considered "road legal"? I had a series 1 R33 before I got my current S2 and it didn't have such a device. Just wondering why?

[Redsw20T]

As far as I know is supposed to eliminate Evaprotive hydrocarbon emissions from the fuel tank by either recirculating them into the intake air (when engine running) or absobing them into the Carbon inside the canister (When engine not running).

Have been told that these charcoal canisters are worthless for this task less than two years after the car has rolled off the production line....

That said, Mr highway patrol and his RTA/EPA mates will happily add you to their defect quota list if they notice that a car originally fitted with one no longer has it fitted.

Even the series 1 has it.

here's a pic of my S1 R33 RB25DET

sorry to hijack the thread, but does anyone know what the little box at the back corner of the engine bay on the drivers side does? it has a vacuum hose go in and wires come out. the vacuum hose is connected to the hose that goes to the factory gauge in the dash. (car is r33 gts-t)

its hard to search when you don't know what its called, and you can't seach with a picture.

pretty sure it's a MAP sensor

[mad082]

thats what i thought. but why would it have a map sensor as well as using the afm?

The MAP sensor is for the dash (standard) boost gauge.
