Default K20z4 swap with DBW

Hi guys, I'm in the process of swapping a k20z4 engine and box from an FN2 into an EK3, however I plan on keeping the drive-by-wire system so down the line I can have launch control and foot flat shifting etc, want to keep it modern(ish) rather than switching back to a throttle cable.

My main question is, which DBW throttle pedal would work with that engine/ECU in the EK chassis. The FN2 pedal would make sense, but looks like it would be a nightmare to retrofit, the pedal from a 2014+ civic looks like it could physically fit, but not sure if it would work with the ECU. Has anybody on here done this before and can shed some light on this before I start throwing money at stuff haha. Thanks in advance!

Sam

You could probably keep your cable throttle pedal and route the cable to a pedal position sensor for a TSX or 05-06 CR-V and then wire it to the FN PCM. I do believe they are the same resistance values as the FN DBW pedal.

At least that's what I did in my Insight with a TSX swap.
