But if you want to stay safe with the epa why would anyone own the cars like we do? No one keeps theirs stock and they'll always find something to drill you with... so if your in it to mod you might aswell not do it half heartedly but if it makes no diff in removing it then its no use, might aswell just leave it in.. not that i can talk lol

EPA is the ones you have to watch though, police defect you - you gte it fixed. EPA get you and you get sent to the RTA testing sites, run on a dyno til your emmisions are correct - if not you dont drive the car til it is.

never mind the court hearing you'll get if your done twice.

i just ran a new vac line from the fuel breather to the pipe on the bottom of the canister. The other line i blocked off where it joins the sensor at the back of the engine. You could just throw screws in each line and cable tie them in.

When i had my turbo done in my car and new cooler piping and all that crap my workshop removed the carbon canister... i dun know why they did it but they seem to think it doesn't do anything in particular.. it wont hurt leaving it in, they just took that out and put my oil catch tank there... still not sure exactly what its for tho...

that workshop can be charged for removing the charcoal canister is it is required on all cars as per australian standards i would take ya car back and if they cant reinstall the old one they are up for replacing it with a new one

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
