Guest Doberman Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I recently bought this breather tank, as it seems to be a good tank for my mkiv? but do you have any suggestions on where i can install the tank ? MVP says that the charcoal canister can be removed, but isnt it there for a reason ? here is a picture : http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/Merchant//catalog/jdm/t/supramkiv/p/phr/phrbreathers.jpg and i quote mvp: You must remove the OEM charcoal canister in order to install the breather tank on the passenger side of the engine bay.. I want to get this done as soon as possible, so any suggestions is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppy Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) The charcoal canister can be removed, it's purpose is for emissions only as far as i'm aware. Once removed some of the hoses will need to be blocked off, but don't block all of them as one or two are breather pipes. Click the blue words "charcoal canister".This will tell you all you need to know. Edited May 10, 2009 by Hoppy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Doberman Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I dont know what the word emission means, but i dont need the canister? Do you or someone else have a picture of where you have installed the breather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppy Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Basically emissions are the amount of nasty gases that leave your exaust,Have'nt you heard of the o-zone layer!! I fitted a small oil catch tank on my Supra, so i had space without removing the carbon canister.Pic below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 My catch tank was fitted in the inside of the bumper where the stock SMIC would have been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
