can i just use the gsr throttle cable on the ITR throttle cable bracket on the skunk2 IM? or is it a MUST to go buy a type R throttle cable too? i did a search and it said to buy a new cable...but im currently poor at the moment and the IM is just sitting in my room. just wondering if i can get by with just bolting it up for now

First off I have a '93 hatch.....but I'm using the stock GSR throttle cable bracket and throttle cable on the Skunk2 mani and it fits under the hood just fine.

oh it works? damn your the first person to tell me that. any pics of it? i wonder why everyone keeps telling me to get the type r cable and bracket?

 

i have a 95 dx motor w/ stock cable and stock holder...
i just couldnt use a front strut bar - cause i had to bend the fker down a lil bit to get some clearance and i dont have any pics cuase now my b18 block is sitting in a milk crate in my trunk of my fking FORD tempo going to get machined

 

i need to get a GSR cable for the skunk2 to work in my EG hatch with a GSR?

 

mine worked fine,just transferred all the stuff from the gsr to the skunk2

 

sorry to hack ur post, but other then the itr cable and bracket, is there anything else thats need to make it bolt up and work right? Do u need the throttle body studs? Basically complete parts list to get to make it work when buying a new skunk2 IM for a gsr..and do u guys know if the IM is carb legal yet? thanks

 

i too am running a stock gsr throttle cable with my skunk2. and hksone, there is a thread called the ultimate skunk2 intake manifold thread somewhere on here.....but for the life of me cannot find it. search around for it, its a good thread.

mike, is that stock bracket and stock cable? any problems with it at all?

BTW, does this thing bolt right now? some people said i might have to cap off some coolant line or something? i didnt get directions with it so im going by whats on HT.

Thats the stock GSR bracket and the stock GSR cable, no problems what so ever.

Mine bolted up without any real modifications, I had to extend some wires in the back, but overall it wasn't a bad install, pretty much pulling sensors off the old mainfold and bolting them to the new....try and round up some instructions from Skunk2, they were actually pretty useful.

Mike

 

which wires did you have to extend? sensor wires or longer hoses?

 

I was using the Civic throttle cable and GS-R bracket/TB and I had a problem with the cable hitting the underside of the hood. A few days later the cable came off of the TB pulley while I was leaving a toll plaza... not fun at all.

At any rate, I installed an LS TB pulley and an ITR cable and bracket and it has not given me a problem since.
