Ep82 strip down assistance is greatly needed!

[amatthews45]

Hey everyone.

Need some help took plenty of photos so hopefully you guys can help me out.

I started stripping down my ep82 due to spun bearing.

Its had AC removed but while I am stripping down and gonna have everything out I need to know what else I can bin.

Plus I ditched a aftermarket fpr and have a fuel line (return I think) but no idea where it goes now.

I seen theres a carbon canister and a little box next to it how do I go about putting these in the bin?

Another one the vac off the inlet near dipstick where on earth does that go?

Here are pics!

Any help would be great!

I am gonna do whatever it takes to sort this car out!

The nipple on the inlet runner 1 goes to the FPR.

The carbon canister and the little box just pull out and theres a 10mm for the box. The vac line that connects to it that goes under the car to the fuel tank, just connect a vac line to that and let it vent to atmosphere or you can put a 1 way valve in it.

You will be left with two spare vac nipples ontop of the throttle body now, those can be blocked off.

Thanks dan need to remove that adapter and stick standard fpr on.

So in the second photo theres fuel filter and then canister next to it what do I do with the bigger pipe thats connected to it? I see the vaccume pipe that connected to it but unsure what to do with the other.

The more I look at the photos the more I need to order some spray and sort the mess out in there haha

[daniel_g]

In the 2nd pic the vac pipe at the bottom of the carbon canister connects to that black box, which all gets chucked in the bin. And the pipe on top you make into a breather or whatever

And yeah lol, will look 10x better when sprayed up.

[amatthews45]

Isnt it going from fuel rail to tank?

Wont lie I am confused now haha

The more I can remove more I can prep for paint.

[daniel_g]

The carbon canister isnt connected to the fuel rail.

I do see the other hose in pic 2 and yeah it goes from the rail to the tank, you need that lol.

[amatthews45]

So do I need to keep that canister attached to the rail?

I still not sure what to do with the loose fuel pipe near it if you look carefully in this pic

[amatthews45]

any suggestions what to do?

any aircon wiring I can rip out? want to loose as much as I can and make the engine simple!

loads of people should have done this and know what I can get rid off

[5e colin]

that loose pipe is feul return to tank by the looks of it !! the outlet from your rrfpr has to go there or standard fpr ( metal pipe not there )

[amatthews45]

ohhh so it joins the std fuel reg! cheers

any ideas what I can bin colin? gonna remove them ac pipes soon removed all brackets for airbox and such.

need to know what ac wires to bin. plus I really wanna ditch that carbon can and its little box.

should I just find the pipe under car and add a mini breather to the larger carbon can pipe?

[5e colin]

you removed aircon so you can remove al those vsv valves above the coil/igniter

you can remove almost everything there depends how empty you want to go

[5e colin]

your question to fat pipe on canister / fit longer fat pipe and go back under car a tat and vent to air doent want it venting in engine bay or feul smell will be pressent on many ocasions

[amatthews45]

wicked thanks any pictures of what wires I can remove or should I take a load of photos and you can confirm what ones for me haha.

will jack car up and find that tank breather and cut it so it doesnt show in the bay. cheers colin.

any idea where the pollen filter is on the ep82?

might try find that once removing the airbox bit behind glove box

[JamesD89]

No pollen filter on gt mate.

[amatthews45]

isnt there some sort of cabin filter? sure I seen something somewhere?

[JamesD89]

My dash has been out this week, I havn't got anything like that in there

[daniel_g]

My bay is pretty messy aswell haha, you can take away all the sensors an shit around the coil / ignitor like Colin said, and turn it sideways. Like this. And all you have to do it block up a couple nipples on the inlet.

[amatthews45]

thats good that dan! I think I am just being very cautious maybe I just need to just go for it and hope for the best haha

[daniel_g]

Go for it lol.

[5e colin]

you can relocate the coil to if you want :)

[amatthews45]

dan you have 4 blocked up ports on this pic two in middle and two off the inlet.

could someone point me in the right direction what these pipes are?

[daniel_g]

Ahh this is because the inlet i have on my 85 is the Gen1 N/a inlet, its the same as a GT/Glanza inlet but there is an extra nipple on the back and none on the front. So you might only have 3 to block.

You can see them in your pic in #7. Is all just shite thats attached to your coil / ignitor.

[daniel_g]

When i get a bit of time im gonna cut them off and smooth it over like on a TB i used to have on my old GT. Just looks a bit neater, before it was painted obviously.

[amatthews45]

right ok what are them 3 lines?

just want to make it all simple.

I sticking a first gen n/a in as my replacement engine soon.

is there a wiki on how to stop the water flowing though the throttle body?

I know vauxhall engines well but these 4eftes are confusing me.

The lines are and valves are for the carbon canister i think man.

Gen1 N/a engine should work well. C.R is 9.6 - 1 so dont run too much boost. Got a turbo'd one myself 0.6bar on a VF12, although im not finished the car so its anyones guess atm on how long it will last lol.

There is a post about bypassing the water lines, its not in the wiki so should be somewhere in the tech section. Personally wouldnt bother tbh.
