Emission Stuff

[Leprechaun86]

My quetion is what effects if any will there be from removing the charcoal canister and the little emssions box on the back of the block in my car.
Which is a 90 Civic Wagon. just thought it would be a little less crap on the firewall and in the engine bay.

If you remove the charcoal canister, be ready to deal with fuel fumes depending on how you remove it. If you remove the breather box on the back of the block, be ready to spray oil everywhere and have PCV issues.

Unless you're trying to do a full tuck, its pointless.

Well what if I cap the stuff off, such as the part on the rear off the block. And then loop the fumes into something or another??

Thank u for your input, but one last question on the pcv system can i cap the nipple or whatever it is from the pcv to the top side of the manifold. And if I can will it have any ill effects?

Thanks, Rich
