[civicdemon91]

OK whats up guyz i would an i know i should look this up but you guyz are the best at this stuff u guyz have helped alot.
ok here the thing im doin a b16a swap right now got the motor in allready but i went to put the throttle cable on an theres no bracket on the b16a mani what should i do?an also should i switch to a gsr or integra i forgot what year clutch cable?i would really appreciate it you guyz are better then the honda ase mechanics with this stuff

My clutch cable hangs free just between the fuel rail electrical wiring and the spark plugs... never a problem... I did have it zip tied to the strut brace for a long time but realized that I could tighten it up more if I left it loose.

Edit: I just noticed you said no bracket for "throttle cable" I don't really have one for it either. I let mine loop smoothly, barely resting the looped part under the strut tower brace. It was kinked for a long time and I wondered my idle was so high... haha... stupid redneck mechanic also wrapped the clutch cable around my strut brace when he did swap. Needless to say, I learned some stuff and went in and smoothed it out myself...

Editx2: Ignore my ignorance. I figured you meant throttle cable slack cuz it seems awfully weird to not have a bracket for your throttle actuator...

i used the 90-93 teg cable. i used place racing's bracket on my old ef b16 setup.

[civickiller]

Get creative with your d series throttle bracket.

I welded some flat bar into the necessary shape and then bolted that to the b16 mani and attached the d series bracket to it. Works great.

thats what i was going to say...you can atleast get 1 bolt in untill you get the right bracket...i wouldnt loop it around anything ...all you need is it to get stuck or kinked...that wouldnt be too good

turtle, there is no way in hell you are driving your car without a throttle cable bracket lol.

and dude, the stock clutch cable is FINE, ive done multiple swaps, two of my own, and i always have had no trouble with the stock one.

Come on now...if you mean bracket that holds the actual mechanism that blips throttle on the IM then yes I have one of those. I was talking about the brackets that hold the cable slack.

And yes having the slack kinked does suck a bit.

turtle, yeah im talking about the bracket that the throttle cable goes go too, right before the TB. No way are you running without one, and if so i want proof!

Of course I have one of those as I already tried to explain.

I really need to get a digital cam. Needless to say, winter is not bondo friendly but it's not that bad. From a distance the ghetto painted clear corners, bumper signals and side markers (to amber), sunroof delete, sheet metal/bondo fabricated rear 1/4 panel and refitted stock side skirt (whole car is primered) doesn't look that bad...






for a beater
