Icon2 What throttle cable for my LS swap?

I have searched for this but have not been able to find anything, not sure if im doing it right. Anyways I am currently in the process of swapping an LS into my EK hatch, but I am having problems finding out the correct throttle cable for it. I have heard that the stock EK one works, but it seems to be too short. I am thinking of buying an LS throttle cable but i dont want to buy it without making sure it will work. Can anyone help me out?

Look, typically, when you do a swap and don't want to have to mess with the throttle cable much, the easiest way is to p/u up 2 items to be on the safe side!

- throttle cable of the engine being swapped
- cable bracket for the intake manifold of engine being swapped

I've done this for many swaps myself without problems. Even in my CRX with a 2000 model B18C5 type R....i used the matching 2 parts, worked like a charm in my 89 crx

You can re-use the D-Series cable with a "modified" bracket.

see my d series bracket faces the wrong way, I tried to modify it, but it was impossible for me, and i broke it. So im probably going to buy an LS one, but Ill test it off my friends LS first.
