after i got everything put on i went to connect the throttle cable and it didnt reach.

even with the cable as loose as it can get on the intake mani bracket im still about a half inch away..

so basically when i connected the cable the throttle body was about half throttle..

what do i need to do?

instrument

CAR?
MOTOR?
ETC?

even without that info i'm gonna take a crazy stab and say you're going to need a longer throttle cable.

the car is a 95 civic hatch. the motor is a b18b. the throttle cable is the stock ls cable.

where do i find a longer throttle cable..?

EkFG

is it a throttle body not fitting or just the cable not long enough? if its the cable all you need it a diff adapter for the mani.

Mixmasta

everything fits fine, the only problem is the cable is not long enough.

where might i find an adapter for my mani?

an adapter wont help if there's not enough reach to the cable, the way you described it is that the cable isnt long enough so the tb won't completely close.

are you sure you have the right tb? are you sure you routed the cable properly? i just can't imagine the scenario where a cable wouldn't reach the tb.

Mixmasta

yeah everything is mounted right and its a B series Blox tb. and i have a b18b and the cable from that motor..

I think all i need to do is move the throttle cable bracket over one hole i looked at my friends today and thats how his is. So ill try in and let you guys know.

my bet is the outer sleeve under the dash on the accelerator pedal bracket has unseated itself causing the outer to be longer that it should be, crawl under and check it.


you didn't rent the cable stretcher tool ???? .
