Default Throttle Cable issue

Ok heres the setup, b20/Edelbrock Victor X/Edelbrock 62mm TB/1990 CRX SI

Sounds pretty simple right, well heres the issue...we had to zip tie the throttle cable to the fuel rail for it to get any tension, has anyone else had an issue with running the stock SI throttle cable on a B series swapped rex? If so what cable did you have to switch to? Im thinking it might require the DA cable but im not sure. Any help is appriciated

I used a 92-95 civic throttle cable for my B16, works great.

Yeah it seems to me that the cable needs to be shorter. I was thinking either 92-95 civic or 94+teggy

See my buddy has a b18 swapped rex and the integra bracket worked fine for him, but for some reason my cable seems super long. Almost like its stretched or something

my throttle cable was also too long (even with the DA cable), so I found a product called cable stops iirc. they are basicly little cable clamps, so you can cut your cable (on the pedal end of the cable) to remove the oem stop, then slide on the new stop and tighten the set screw once you have it adjusted right.

its cheap and quick and it has held up just fine for me.

I pulled mine off at the junk yard. No tools required. I looked at your setup and it will work, but I see you ordered one.
