carbon canister removal question

[mitch2028]

hi all i hope i dont sound stupid but i know you have to blank the inlet on the throttle body for the carbon canister but what about the hardline that goes down to the small nipple on the t.i.p just before the inlet for the turbo, blank that to?

ive done the n249 bypass and have replaced the one n112 with a resistor, ive also done the sai removal so i only have one vac line going to the other n112 can i remove this and not have a vac line going there anymore and just have one for the d.v?

hope it makes sense and i dont sound too daft, ive tried a search but cant find what i want

blank the one going to the TIP as well when i replaced my tip, i just put a bolt in the hole and clamped it

the n249 bypass doesn't need any n112 valves, they can be removed and replaced with resistors. all you need is a vac line from inlet to d/v and inlet to fpr. then rest can be blocked. (if i'm wrong about the n249 bypass, someone will come and correct me soon enough )

nice one cus, thats what i was thinking just wanted to double check. nice one bud

 

[cus]

i've done it to mine and my mates car (someone else off here) and both haven't had any issues

i read somewhere that removing this causes a few problems, cant remember who did it now, think its Robdon

removing the carbon canistor or n249 system??

 

[RickC]

the carbon canistor

 

[cus]

i dunno what problems that your talking about... i haven't had any side effects. no error lights, so engine problems. passed its MOT ..

 

[mitch2028]

apart from an eml and the possibility of fumes it aint going to be a problem. im gonna trace the line back to the tank and cut it there i think.

hmm, ok, what do you do with the wire connector? does it throw up a fault when its unplugged?

ill have a look for that post of the problem.

shouldn't throw a code as long as you have a resistor on it the same resistor you use for the sai and n249.

the pipe with the fumes can be extended and fed down the wing. i've done this and cant smell anything. even at a complete stop with the heaters on

Same as cus, vent the hard pipe down into the front bumper or away from anything hot. Blank the TIP and the throttle body.

again, its just a resistor. same type thats used forthe n249. once thats on it shouldn't throw up a fault.and if it does, it wont bring up the EML though

 

[RickC]

what resistance resitor, could do with knowing this if possible?

one end goes to the inlet above the TB, where does the other come from?

Reviving an old thread - what have people used to blank the throttle body connection? I've got some silicone pipe I could use with a bolt in the end but as it's so on-show someone must have thought of something that looks a bit nicer?

 

[PhilW]

I used that connection for my DV.

remember i saw someone used the line to the dv from it when you have moved dv to colde side

 

[Robbie C]

Ah there's an idea, especially as mine is on the cold side now. What ID is that connection then Phil? Guessing you squeezed some 4mm vac hose over it?

 

[PhilW]

Wow that hose would be well short.

I used 6mm ID silicone vac line and it fitted nice on the TB connection and the nipple on the DV as theyre different sizes. Yeah it was a little tight on the TB connection but thats all good.
