Need some wire tuck advie!
I blew my motor and im pulling it out so i thought now would be the perfect time to do up my engine bay. Wire tuck, shave and paint. The wire harness is no problem for me at all. the only things i have questions about is relocating the fuel filter, charcoal canister, and brake lines. i have been doing my research, but havent come up with any real info. I know theres some people on here that has done this before, so help me out with some tips and info. btw, the car is a 93 integra. If you'd like pictures of engine bay for better refrence, lmk. TIA!!

I have seen people move the charcoal canister to inside the front bumper to hide it and then remote mount the fuel filter to a lower location but it makes it a pain in the ass to change out. You will have to fab up lines to make it all work of course.
Personally i would leave he charcoal canister where it is, just fab up a cover for it.

The fuel filter u can cut the line as it comes into the bay and use a coupling to adapt a an line to it. Run that line to a online filter and ur good.
Remove the charcoal canister.

You will get some codes when you remove the system unless you have some way to disable it, standalone perhaps. Otherwise just relocate it, not hard to do and all you really need a little time and longer rubber hoses.

Re: Need some wire tuck advie!
the Purge valve is on the charcoal canister. You shouldn't be messing with the fuel pressure regulator, there is no valve for it either, it is the "valve".
As far as codes I'm sure there will be emissions related, which ones I dont know. Not only that the charcoal canister keeps fuel vapors trapped there until the vehicle is running and then pulls that vapors into the engine to be used.
