Relocating fuel vapor canister?

[Rogue74]

What's involved with relocating the fuel vapor canister and what kind of hardware do I need (if any) to attach it to a new location? Also where's the best place to put it?

ATR makes a kit

Why do you need to move it? and what will bein its way? Hurry I'm leaving and won't be able to get to you until evening

 

[gofstbuick]

This is the best I can do for now. The metal tabs on the bottom of the cannister move. You adjust the tabs, to move the cannister to one side of the inner fender well. That may be enough to move it out of yhe way of another part. If that don't help, I'll address it tonight.

The MAF pipe I got was longer than what I had, so with the stock MAF sensor there's no room to put the filter in.

You could mount it on the frame where the base of the stock air cleaner mount is

Thats where i put mine also on the frame hole is there already

Where did you get the MAF pipe?

I moved mine to the fram when I went to a 4 inch maf pipe.

Ok, I'll check that out.

I got the pipe from http://www.buickgn.com/

I had the same problem as you.

#1 did you order the right pipe? Did you specifiy what MAF you were using (ls1, lt1, stock), and what turbo you had? (integrated inlet bell, seperate inlet bell).

If all that is right, then you should be able to adjust the length by moving it in and out of the rubber sleeves.

Good luck

Yeah I got the right thing. I'm going to convert to a newer maf sensor anyway so it shouldn't be a problem. I think I'm just going to adjust the vapor canister to the side a little and then everything will fit.
