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:

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

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 :)

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

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
