Default throttle cable problem in a swap



I have a gsr with stock IM and TB in a 89 HF crx. I had to buy a different cable because the hf cable is short and I look up hasport. They recommend the integra cable (17910-SK7-A03) and I when out to get it at a Acura Dearlership. Then went home to install it and it found out that it was to long. What cable do i need to use?

Thanks-Phil-

Too long is alright, just loop it around something under the hood and hold it in place with zip-ties. I've had my ZC like that since 1998 and it's been fine. On the original Hybrid forum in 97 or 98 I saw a pic of where to run it but it shouldn't matter, just make a loop and secure it in place, just make sure you have no sharp angles.

How much slack is there? When i put a 98 itr throttle cable in my 88 hatch w/b16 it was also too long. I cut out the slack and reconnected the cable with a 10 ga electrical coupling. my crimpers are the ****. no problems after a year .

get a fricking bracket from HCP and use your stock cable, the best 10 dollar's you will ever spend well besides cheap dirty stripers

$10 buys a lot more zip ties than brackets

I just wrap, used one zip tie and it works fine for now.

I used a 91 Integra throttle cable and bracket I just drilled a hole in the middle of the bracket and bolted it on like that. Any other way and it would have been too long or too short.

When I swapped in the B18b into my HF, I used the HF throttle cable. It was plenty long. Had to make a new bracket though.
