Don't get frustrated over this small issue when swapping a B16 into your 92-95 civic (it may be common with other motors/models but I only have first hand experience with this). The common cure is to use a throttle cable from the car the motor came out of..no thanks...or you can buy a pre-fab'd bracket..which means waiting for it to get shipped (if they're even available).

The stock throttle cable will not work with the b16..its too long end of story. So here is a quick and easy fix to the problem.


What you need:

i) Your stock throttle cable bracket
ii) A piece of aluminum strip - get it at home depot
iii) 2 screws and nuts..your choice

tools needed
i) drill
ii) hacksaw for cutting the aluminum strip

Step 1 - the goods


Step 2 - Drill out 2 holes same spacing as your stock bracket, it will be bolted on here


Step 3 - Drill another hole 4cm apart


Step 4 - Drill the final hole 2cm from that (this the spacing where it will connect to the intake manifold. So just in case take a measurement..the spacing may be different on different models of motors ..likely not)


Step 5 - Cut everything to a final size. Don't be a ricer, paint it up and make it look decent.


Done - adjust and admire this cost 4 dollars and 15 mins of your time...now finish up and get your car on the road

 

The first good thing to come out of Canada in a long time.

 

^^^hahahaha

 

another way to do this is to break the crimp on the cable and if you know what MC cable is you can treat it just like that. you have to use 2 pair of pliers and a 3rd hand, but all you do is grab and twist with both pair of pliers and cut the coil around the cable twist it off. now this is harder than your method but believe it or not it is cheaper than your method. for us broke folk. just thought i might throw out what i did.

 

^^ Broke folk? It cost 4 dollars I would rather do the OP's way.

 

I like this way because it keeps the cable in tact for returning to stock...and anyone who wheels and deals cars and swaps knows its little things like this that are important for minimal headaches.
