the vacume line ( C ) can it be removed? im makeing my own custom cold air intake and i have the pipe cut and welded all i have to do is make the holes for the vacume lines to the intake, but i wanted to get rid of all emissions. also the ( D ) labled part is the tube for the egr system correct? so all i have to do is cut a plate and block that off?

http://myspace-610.vo.llnwd.net/00668/01/60/668200610_l.jpg

on the part labled ( E ) is it possible to take off that tube and install a breather filter where that line connects to the valve cover without causeing any harm to the motor?

also not to sound dumb or get flamed because i did a search but some of the parts like ( A ) i donot know what it is, so here comes the stupid question is my motor a low port? also whats the VE considered to be?

any and all help is priceless to me and if u need a clearer pic let me know:biggthump

Your engine is a high-port. The SR20VE is considered to be a low-port.

B is for the EGR Temp Sensor in California emissions vehicles; it is left unplugged in Federal cars.

D is the EGR.

I'll let someone else answer the rest.

I cant really tell from the pic, but (A) kind of looks like your fuel filter, or evap canister... I can't really see it from the pic though.

(C) is an Evap Vacuum Hose that goes to your Intake

(E) is where the clean air comes from to flush the crank case vapors for your PCV system... detailed information on that can be found in my thread here, you will have to scroll down though. From what I've read, having the filter and having it connected to the intake yields the same values of pressure at that point. It just means that you are sucking un-metered air instead of metered air from the intake.

All that stuff can be removed... But I am keeping all mine.

A is the charcoal canister. There is no reason to remove it.

I want to removed stuff thats not really needed and if its something thats just a emission thing and its useless because i donot have emission checks in FLA then i wanna pull it out

so i can bypass ( C ) then?

and i can put the breather filter on ( E ) on the valve cover side without and bad side affects?

b) doesnt need to be connected to anything.C)you need it.A)leave it alone.E)you can remove that hose but i just cut that hose smaller why would you need a filter thatd be dumb air just flows out from under the valve cover

A) is the charcol canister. keeps fuel fumes from working it way to th engine, at least from what I understand.

B) Looks like the exhaust gas temp. sensor connector. If you're not in Cali you don't need it

C) Is the primeary source of vaccum for the vaccum gallery, part of the EGR, but it does connect to the FPR and the canister.

D) that tuber gives the EGR the exhaust it needs, you can get a block off plate for that. Also where the EGT WOULD be if you had it.

E) as above pressurizes the valve cover, have been told that it needs to be metered but I'm not for sure.

to remove your egr, yes, just cut a plate for the orifice. however you must also remove the two UFO looking things on top of the intake maifold also. thus having to cut another plate. or you can buy a kit from nissport.com

I wouldn't remove it. You'll have fuel filling issues. If you want the gas pump to stop every 5 seconds when you fill up, go ahead and take it out, but I'd leave it in if I were you.

the egr is not working that great so my gas issue sucks right now and im compaireing this to the gas useage of a 05 srt-4 my other car.

right now i got extra ford alum intercooler pipeing and im building a custom intake, i also got a supply of alum hoods to make block of plates

basically all can go, i personally would leave A alone, C, D, & E also make sure there al attached and no holes or anything like that i had a rat chew a hole threw one of my vacuum lines and gave me horrible gas milage. More or less all of the things you pointed out help out with gas milage! (except B) so careful when you start takin things off... unless of coarse you dont give a shit or just plan on building a full blown race car then those things can go. well good luck.

ya thats cool some of that i wanted to know because i did not want to have to add a bug on the intake im custom makeing, sence AEm is the only Cold air intake out there and iceman does not make one im custom building one and its allmost finish and it will be made out of OEM ford intercooler plasic pipeing. When its done ill do another in alum pipeing but ill post pics in another thread when its done
