Default Skunk2 manifold problem

I've installed a pro series manifold on my b18c1 which is in a 91 crx. I swapped the stock throttle body with a type r and bought a type r throttle cable and throttle cable bracket. My issue is this, the throttle cable is too short! From the throttle cable bracket to the pedal assembly, it will not hook up without the throttle body opening up.

-Is anyone is running a similar setup?
-What did you do to solve this?
-What throttle cable should I use?

I think I may go to a junkyard and grab random throttle cables and see what works. Before I do this can anyone shed some light on the subject?

I use a GSR cable, which should be the same as any integra really.....
I dont know how different the R tb is from the B16 tb, but mine fits fine.

I'm pretty sure mine is set up with the original DX cable. (hatch with LS/Vtec-skunk2 manny & TB)

Get a DA throttle cable and you'll be fine.

do you have 2 bolts holding the bracket on? I have a 90-93 integra throttle cable with the obd-0 pr3 cable bracket on my 1st gen S2 manifold, and it fits just fine.

Hey it's all how you perceive it, most people would refer to it as fabrication. I forgot to mention that mine has a FABRICATED bracket too.

That's what I always do... I have never changed throttle cable on any car I've done a swap in. I always find a way to flip the stock bracket off some other honda (whatever is laying in the nutbucket at the time) or drill holes in different places on the bracket to get it mounted up in some kinda way that'll work. for fabbing it.
