civic dx zc swap help! I dont know what to do with the throttle cable

I have the DOHC ZC swap in my car, but the throttle cable is so long it is in the way. Do I need to put a different one in? or is there a certain way to mount it out of the way. please help!!

Good question... I've been wondering the same thing myself.

Can you not loop it around to make it work?

I probably could, I was just worried about it binding up or making the throttle stick.

it wont bind at all, mine is that way

But the correct way to do it is get the Si or HF Throttle cable

I have a 90 civic si w/ the dohc zc motor, you need to use the si throttle cable. Are you running the zc tranny? if you arn't I have one for sale.

Re: (Kryogen)

You can use the the dx one but the correct way to do it is w/the si cable, you wont have so much extra.
