Default JDM GSR into EG

so my question is what throttle cable do i use? the stock dx one seems a little too short. somebody told me i have to use the USDM GSR throttle cable. is that correct?

and what is the correct wireing harness i use? it's a 96 spec GSR so it's ODB1. should everything plug in or do i need to use another harness such as the Ex/Si harness.

thanks for your help.

GS-R I believe. You can make a custom bracket and use the stock cable though

If its a '96 its OBD2, If it is OBD2 a '96 - '01 Integra harness will save you a ton of unnecessary labour/or parts. If its OBD1 reuse your stock harness, you will need to add vtec wiring and lenghten some connectors to reach their respective sensors.

I used the USDM GSR cable. Makes life simple and it's fairly cheap if you order one online.

My stock cable worked just fine, although I have an EX.

As noted 96 and up is OBD2, so it depends on the engine you have. I hope for your sake the engine is OBD1 to save you a lot of work. If you use the stock harness from your car and the engine is OBD1, then add VTEC, knock sensor, and IAB wiring. And remember if your ecu is USDM then the IAB goes to 12V, if your ECU is JDM then the IAB goes to ground.

if you use the harness on the motor you will have to extend a few wires so they'll reach...i suggest you research this prior to doing the swap.
