alright the deal is i have a 97 civic hb with b18c head, b20b block. (gsr hear, crv block) known as the crvtec or lsvtec take your pick. anyways when i bought the car, the throttle cable was NOT sitting on a mount but instead zip tied to a fuel line. The cable is from an acura LS for some reason and is too long. I cannot adjust the tension for 2 reasons, it is too long and there is no mounting bracket. the spindle where the cable is winded up is there on the throttle body. Ive called honda and acura dealers and honda specific shops but no one can help me.

some of the cables i have heard to use are...

99-00 civic si
97 civic hb
integ grs
94 del sol b16 vtec

as the list shows, people have a wide range of opinions. i also need the mounting bracket so that poses even more problems...if anyone can help me i would greatly appreciate some feed back.

thanks,
steve

u can only use gsr throttle cable with gsr throttle cable bracket p72.. 99-00 civic si and 94 del sol b16 vtec and integra LS share the same throttle cable with is too long for your b18c1 head

stevew84

ok so the bracket needs to be for the p72 ecu? when i saw that number thats the first thing i thought of was the ecu....if im mistaken let me know. i will include pictures tonite when im out of work. thanks for the help tho i will post before and after pix

No I think crazyguy was talking about the p72 intake manifold. Correct?

stevew84

also my idle is at like 200rpm, it dies if i start it up in neutral and let off gas. i gotta keep it reved at about 1500 for like 30 seconds then slowly ease off....

the mani that is on the head is the stock b18c1 mani.

crazyguy

p72 is the oem part numbers for gsr..not only meant for ecu

b18c1 intake manifold is also known as p72 intake manifold and agian, there should be "P72" stampped at the back of the intake manifold
for example. the pic shown below is my ITR intake manifold and it stampped "P73"

No, cable won't effect idle if it has slack. I would start but cleaning the IACV.
