Default B18 swap question...

I'm swapping a B18B into my EG and i'm wondering if i could use the civic throttle cable without getting the integra one..Has anyone ever done this before? Any advice would be appreciated..Thanks

yeah i used the civic cable. You have to fab a small bracket and then it can be used, not hard at all.

Have you swapped the motor yet? It doesn't sound like it. Is it a c5 or a c1 motor? If it is the c5, then I don't know why it wouldn't since I have a skunk2 im and my cable worked fine. The motor orientations are the same (they are not any wider than mine and they sit at the same angle), so if it is the c5 then it should fit just fine.

The motor is a B18B1...It's put in and everything is plugged up...Just that the bracket on the motor sits too far to the driver side...So with the Civic throttle cable; it won't reach the throttle body....It's about 1-2 inches short of the throttle body..

nope, all you do is twist out that piece from the firewall and go behind the pedal and release then cable then slide the other one on.
