Hey guys, I have had my swap in for a little while now and I still haven't gotten a chance to find the correct and exact throttle cable for my swap.

Maybe some else can give me some help. I started off using the DC5(USDMRSX) one but that was insanely too long. Then I got the GSR one and it was too short.

Now I have the EP3 one but I have a little spacer on the pedal cuz there is too much slack.

Which is the correct throttle cable for this swap ? (or is there none)

DC5 Throttle cable :



EP3 Throttle Cable :



John EK's CX throttle cable I think :



And Danny's : I dunno what he is using :

 

it was my understanding that you use a 96+ DX hatch cable for jdm k20a (type r) swaps & ep3 throttle cable for (usdm) k20a2 swaps

which swap do you have?

how come we haven't seen your K20 powered ek on here ?

 

Does the DC%r cable work corectly? If so, fagetaboutit.

I dunno where you have been ...

 

yeah i got a 96 dx on mine. kinda long, but its cool.

 

Was there any slack using the DC5 cable, or is it just the cosmetic aspect?

 

i got a 94 civic ex coupe. fits perfect. not too long or too shorts just right.

Perfect is good. I think i'll give this one a try. You promise it'll be perfect ?

Yeah, there was alot of slack. And why would I use it for cosmetics ? (Looks like ****)

Haha. That's what i meant. I just wanted to know if it did not function correctly, or if you just didn't like the way it looked.

I'm using the DC5 cable in my EH2. It does look like crap, but there is no slack.

 

Has anyone tried using a cable from an EF model STD.? They seem somewhere in between. I dont have any k20 swaps lined up anytime soon but i have a few of these cables layin around if anyone wants to try it.

I'm using the type-s cable and its hella long

 

so does can anyone say which one is the best to use?

 

im using my stock 96 cx cable for my k20r. fits just perfect. you do end up using all the threads on the cable though. hope you find a solution.
