Jdm b16 swap into '00 civic dx, i used original throttle cable. should i change the throttle cable too??? what difference does it make?

 

No need to if it fits. I am still using my dx one on my b18cr.

 

We had to get an Si one for a b18c in a 6th gen coupe. The stock one was too long and would barely open the throttle body.

 

I agree, I put a H22 in my EG coupe and people recommend using another throttle cable (forget which one at the moment) but I used the civics and it works fine... I just had to move the mounting bracket back on the TB but it works fine. The only thing I would worry about is if it is too short. As long as it reaches and is good and tight at the bracket so that it is not moving around, you will be fine.

 

:werd:

 

Yeah I got my stock on and it works fine theres really not a big diffrence just that people recommend it "pro job" I guess !

 

On my swap I used the GSR throttle cable and the throttle cable bracket( the one on the firewall).

 

if i put a shorter throttle cable will it open the throttle up quicker?

 

Absolutely not! All you have to do is adjust the two nuts that hold the throttle cable in the bracket at the TB. You would back the nuts off in effect backing the throttle cable up and making it mor tense and responsive.

You DO NOT want it overly tight though to where it is actually holding the throttle open. Just tighten it so that there is no slack.
