Default drive by wire conversion

i searched for "throttle" "conversion" "cable" etc.... no luck

so..... has anyone converted their tsx to cable throttle from drive by wire.....

what would it take to do this?

would the car run off of an rsx ecu?

i may get a tsx in the next year or two with the possibility of having a baby....

i have driven the tsx and feel that the throttle response would be crisper with a regular cable activated throttle body... there seems to be a little lag in throttle response with the drive by wire...

have you experienced this?

if so, because it is computer controlled, does hondata, or some other ecu manfacturer have a program to make it more responsive?

sorry if this has been covered before..... if it has please hook me up with a link

thanks

its never been done, at least on TSX forums. You'd probably need to source the Euro Accord's pedals and TB since they don't use DBW. And you probably would have to use a RSX ECU since I'd imagine the HOndata TSX ECU will be made to work w/ DBW
