Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Does anyone know what the canistar under the left front guard on my 84 surf is for?
It has a pipe (about 30mm) leading into the engine bay.
I've looked at it a few times and can't figure it out.

Cheers

Just a guess, but does it catch the moisture from the air filter box? I think my surf had one of those and we pulled it out when I fitted a snorkel.

Maybe thats it, however the airbox was never hooked up to to (no corrasponding pipe on airbox) but it might have in other models.
I dunno............ I took it out and threw it over my shoulder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its not the Charcoal canister

ive got a round canister under the front right guard its for vaccum for the add
it could be something similar
mine is a 92 surf

Maybe, are charcoal canisters for emission reasons? It doesn't appear to have ever been hooked up. Its not a vaccum canister.
I've looked in the manual and there is no mention of it, I'd post a pic but thats not an option at the moment.
Buggered if I know, who cares it's gone now

well is there a charcol canister in the engine bay

you should have kept it just think what a canister with a hose leasing to the engine bay might have held...nos

Mmmmmmm...... Nos........ gives me the giggles
Can any one tell me more about charcoal canistars?
Also my Surf has a 6cyl Supra in it.
This canistar thingy looks like it has never been hooked up.

if it stinks of fuel it's probably a charcoal canister.

I may be wrong but don't your fuel vapors go through them? something like that.

I had a quick look under my bro's 89 22r lux hood and he has two..?


Tom did you do the conversion? It may have been disconnected when efi lines were run.

1G on NOS.. dang.

It's a induction resonator to quiten the intake system, Its a empty box which absorbs the intake induction pulses and smooth the air flow. Take it off and block the hole and you will notice in increase in induction noise. Commonly disconnected when fitting snorkles.

Yeh I did the conversion, however the resonator was not connected when I bought the Surf.
Doesn't matter, its now a wheel chock
As for the snorkel, thats on the drivers side.
