ashbuster Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 if it was me mate and it was being done with a spray gun properly then best to move as much as possible. from what ive read the fuse box can be fitted under the headlight without cutting and extending wires so maybe you can remove it and put it somewhere underneath out of the way untill its been sprayed. i would remove as much as possible like the charcoal canister can come out and if you want to put it back in you can always re-fit it afterwards. battery to boot /fusebox relocation/ wiretuck and smoothing not interest you mate?

_Shane_ Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 battery already in boot mate, wire tuck would be good but dont think anyone over here is capable of doing this properly lol Do you know how easy / hard it would be to remove fuse box or even just give me some slack so i can have it out of the bay while spraying is been done etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 One problemo with under the headlight is condensation and water getting into the box... mine is now behind my rear seats! pukka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 i was thinking of putting mine where the charcoal canister is and make a smaller box for it, that way its still hidden when i buy the srd enginebay boxes and still easy to get to without extending much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 charcoal canister can go in the bin mate aaaaaaamen to that brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 So i can just disconnect charcoal cannister and dump it in the bin? what about the hoses connected to it guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 So i can just disconnect charcoal cannister and dump it in the bin? what about the hoses connected to it guys There's 3 pipes, 1, runs around the back of the engine to the turbo pipes, odviously you won't have that 1. 2, is a petrol tank breather, disconnect that and bend it down under the car to vent. 3, is a vacum pipe which runs along the side of the intake manifold and T's into the intake at the front. Disconnect that, at the manifold and join the pipes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashbuster Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 i read somewhere that it lowers the pressure in the fuel tank and can make the fuel pump play up. is this right bud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 i read somewhere that it lowers the pressure in the fuel tank and can make the fuel pump play up. is this right bud?

No don't worry, everyone Bins them. Just make sure you route the pipe that goes into the bay to the canister,out of the bay.... Stops the smell of petrol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 ok bud, just put it pointing towards the rear/road under the car should be fine? the one from the tank to vent underneath and then just block the other pipes? sorry for the high jack shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
