Quick FMIC Help please

[leech_]

Hey guys just fitting the new FMIC which is pretty much the same as a hybrid one. I am using the hybrid intructions *PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT*. and am just wanting to know what others have done with the carbon canister i am pretty sure that is it as in the photo that hole goes straight through where it is at the moment. I guess i can possibly move it back further but yea any help would be appreciated.

the carbon canister is at the front of the engine bay on the right hand side, near the air filter.

Are you sure it isn't the oil filter you are talking about? coz thats about the only thing on the engine side corresponding to the pic you have posted

thanks for the post lazy-bastard um now i am a little lost the oil filter is just on the side of the block isnt it ??? this is a black canister looking thing i will try and get some photos of it but yea basically when you take the front bar off it is on the driver side screwed onto the wall which as shown in the picture needs to be cut out ??? so i am a little lost

hmm after alot of searching and comparing engine bay photos i am 100% sure it is my carbon canister i do have one question though are the put in in japan or only when they come across to australia as my canister defiantly has a made in australia on it so i am guessing it was done at compliance ???

anyways lazy are the 2 photos attached what you are refering to as the carbon canister...

Your thinking that the hole has to be made on the wrong side.

If its Hybrid style the hole needs to be made on the other side underneath the water resivoir.

The canister does not need to be moved nor will it be in the way.

The piping will replace the upper pipe that goes from the intake to return over the radiator fan and curve down underneath the water resivoir.

on the canister side of the intercooler it will meet up with the one origional pipe ramaining.

Yeah Leigh, that is the carbon canister I was referring to.

As Slide said, you are bringing the return pipe up the wrong side of the engine. It comes up the left hand side of the engine bay and crosses over between the fan and the front of the engine.

thanks for the replys guys i understand what you are saying but it looks like either through complaince or some guy over in japan may have relocated it or else i am just retarted i will take some photos of it later today and post it up but see the attached pic which you posted slide i have put a red circle around where the black canister.

The canister is on the passenger side. You are going to make the hole in the drivers side.

Have a look at your own pics.

Enjoy

ahhhhhhhh i am going crazy i know the hole has to go on the drivers side but the canister is ON THE DRIVERS SIDE thats it i am getting photo's in like 2 hours hehe i will post em up to show you what i mean :confused:

[elbee111]

The canister that you circled is on the passenger side.

*edit* Are you saying that the pic is of someone elses car and your canister is on the opposite side to the one shown ?

[justin911]

I know what you mean leech hehe Your talking about the big black canistor on the drivers side. (circled in thepic???) Mine has it there as well if that isnt where its supposed to be.. ?

To save your sanity.. slap the intercooler up, if its in the way just move it somewhere else its only got like 1 or 2 bolts holding it on. My intercooler has the intake/return pipes going in the same direction, so it isnt a problem for me.. but it does look like it would get in the way...hmm

Have it relocated to the passenger side where it should be.

Ive seen complianced lines that have them on the radiator support at the front and at the back over the turbo hanging off the strut tower but never on the drivers side because the line comes out near the aircon comp and up the side of the radiator whether it be at the front or back out on the drivers side?

Your cars weird but awaiting pics

[justin911]

i should relocate her u say ?

[DazWah]

just take it off and block the 2 hoses which have a vaccuum to them. if this makes sense?

[Slide]

Relocate to the position that it should have been put in

like in leech_'s first pics of enine bay

Completely unnecesary to move if the piping will fit around it though.

justin yea i am saying mine is about where that silver thing is showing in yours maybe a little higher but not much. Anyways got some photo's on the gf's camera but dont have the software at my place i will get her to email them to me tomorrow morning and should have them up by 11ish hopefully

[leech_]

well got some photos as you can see this is definatly the drivers side and looks to be the carbon canister though it almost looks to big going off other photos i have seen ???

[Slide]

its the canister, some are biggger even 3 times the size of most.

Ide move it to the corner at the back right hand side (some have abs here)

All of the bigger ones ive seen were mounted near the turbo but away from the heat ill post pics when i can take one
