Ok so I got everythign out I dont need now I have to deal with these two lines from teh firewall, I was hoping to get some advice on where to route them safely too as well, I don't want to halfass anything dealing with flamable gas, I've also heard something about a rollover switch in this area you aren't supposed to disconnect, but I didnt see anything like that in the service manual.

Did you check your front drivers side corner...that's is where they moved it in the 98-99 years....

Matt D. 06-19-2004 12:27 PM

FYI, you linked to the same picture twice.

Khadgar 06-19-2004 01:36 PM

Thanks for pointing that out, I fixed it.

Is the charcoal canister the huge thing under the battery in most dsm's? I thought about removing it on the 1g but heard bad things, I didnt even want to mess with it on my 2g, but am very interested. I like to reduce vacuum lines, miscellaneous junk etc.

It pulls a CEL on 2Gs and nothing on 1Gs.

here is a pic or 2 of the shit that gets removed with an EGR block off plate

ALL THOSE vacuum lines on the throttle body too!?!?!?!?!?!?! Wow maybe I will need to that pretty soon then too.

Khadgar 06-19-2004 10:43 PM

The old quest is gettin' this treatment too...EGR Blockoff plate, then take out related parts =)

But my bay might win when it comes to misc. wires/vac lines...

If you want to see a bare firewall just stop by QPR and take a look at my car, or I can take a picture for you.

2g Emissions elimination.

Jacek 06-20-2004 05:54 PM

can someone explain to me why you would pull this stuff out? is there a gain besides cleaning up your engine bay?

Khadgar 06-20-2004 06:59 PM

2lbs and I guess you could mount your battery lower if you wanted.

Khadgar 06-20-2004 07:02 PM

I am also thinking of blocking off the coolant lines going to the TB to try and maybe reduce intake temps.

This is what my engine bay looks like after some cleaning up, EGR and all emissions equipment gone, a/c gone, and cruise soon to leave. Also, 1g mas and 1g K&N instead of retarded stock aircan.

I like the color of your quest.

Kougar 06-20-2004 11:35 PM

Eww...stock coil?!

I just put in my bosch red coil :bounce:

Anyhoo that looks pretty clean, but what is the third picture of? Removed canister?

Stock coil is fine for now, the car isnt quite on the road yet, so all it does is start the car, and let it idle.

I am gonna get a bosch red, or maybe something from MSD, I haven't decided yet.

The third pic is of the removed canister and all that stuff, definately looks like a cold air intake of some sort could fit there.

OK.........I haven't seen an answer to your question yet so here goes........

The first pic is of your gas tank purge/expansion vent. Check valve it to exhale only and add a piece of vac line to route it down to the ground so it doesn't spew hot gas vapors near your exhaust or engine.

The second pic has nothing to do with your vac/emissions. It is you drain tube for your A/C evaporator that is behind the glove box. Leave it open/uncapped unless you want standing water in your passenger side floor.

-Matt

Khadgar 06-21-2004 05:41 PM

Wow an answer finally =P. Thanks I don't have my AC anywhere near running condition so I gues that one doesn't matter and I routed the other one down to the ground.
