Default DPFI to MPFI almost done, throttle cable & fuel line q's

Hey, I'm almost done with the DPFI to MPFI swap, just a couple q's

I ditched the HX manifold for the SI one, much better

The stock DPFI throttle cable is way too long and doesn't fit in the bracket on the SI manifold. Do I need a different throttle cable? I doesn't mention this in any of the writeups I've read.

Also, does the the stock DPFI fuel line work? The fitting on the end fits on the end of the Si fuel rail and the pulsation dampener goes on ok, but I cant see how it works. Theres no hole on the side of the tube bolt thing coming out of the end of the fuel rail for the fuel to go into. there is only a hole on the top where the pulsation dampener connects.

thanks in advance!

There are a couple of write ups that mention getting the shorter Si cable.

My recommendation, for cleanliness of engine bay, would be to go ahead and get one, however you can use the stocker on most cars by adjusting it (mine barely worked for a 91 CRX DX).

As long as youv'e got that weird piece of metal on the end of the fuel rail, you're fine on that note. I had the same delimma with my DPFI -&gt; MPFI conversion, and it works A-OK with that piece, not at all without it.

Ok, I'll get the si throttle cable and leave the fuel hose as it is unless I have problems.

LOL seriously?

I really hope thats just you shining someone on. I'd hate to think a motor swap would cause all that stress.

You're also the same kind of douche bag that would make fun of him for creating a new thread. So what's your point?

you never know some one else today might need this info and it will be right at the top

i used the cable from a 92 civic its shorter and im shur you can get one from the junk yard

as far as the fuel line mine was kinda short and i was worried about it getting pulled on when the engine torqued so i go one also from the 92 i think any mpfi one should work
