okay so where are the pics. im doing braided fuel lines and have all the parts. i'm just waiting on my engine so i can cut the line to the proper length. i'll be deleting the EVAP system completely but if there is a way to avoid a fume smell i'm down.

I don't have pics but I also didn't go with braided lines, mine looks stock under the hood except there are only 2 tubes leading from the fender to the motor, and I also pulled the hardline from under the car and put a little filter (cheepy crank case filter off the shelf at the local parts store) on the end of the rubber fitting that attached to the hard line at the back, the filter isn't really needed, I just didn't want bugs or anything crawling into the tank from the open line...

the evap line runs with the fuel lines. if you notice i don't have that ugly tube on the driver side which houses all the lines. evap deleted fuel lines were done with steel braided lines and re routed.

Im about to start posting pictures of my build, which happens to be coming to an end and should be racing within 2 weeks. My normal pc crashed and I dont have my cam software on this pc... As soon as my normal pc's fixed, I'll start posting pics. If any of you still need help then, pm me and I'll get you whatever pics I can.
Here's a question for you guys: Why not relocate the EVAP? Under the front bumper or (a bit more involved) back by the gas tank or elsewhere under the car. Quite a few newer vehicles have undercarriage EVAP systems, some even have ABS down there :S

you'd need to buy a vacuum plug for the tb. i needed one for the hard line too but if you're deleting that you won't need it. you'll also need something to cover the vent hose from the tank to prevent things from getting in there. also you'll throw a code once you remove the evap solenoid. you can program that out or just drive with the check engine light on.

Ok, i pulled the canister and got rid of the engine bay hoses. I have the three lines coming out that went INTO the canister. Since the canister is gone, do I just cap the three lines or should i still vent them somehow? If so, which ones do i cap and which ones do i vent? Thanks
