Throttle linkage simplification

[bigaaron]

I got tired of that stupid throttle linkage stuff on top of the motor. I was in Auto Zone, in their "fast and furious" section (where I usually laugh at the simulated hood pins and stuff) and this braided cale caught my eye. It's $25 and can be easily adapted to a stock throttle body and gas pedal. I had an older throttle body laying around that had a very simple linkage, that is the one you want to use. I made a temporary setup to test it and it works awesome, the pedal feel is just like a 1j now. I am going to make a bracket to attach to my 3000 pipe but it works well enough to leave it like it is.

Do you have the F&F part number? I couldnt find that cable.

And it fits the pedal correctly? Or what do you need to do there?

yeah, no kiddin, i noticed that too... whats with the coilpacks, look like the ones off of the 1MZ-FE

You guys missed my 1jz coils with dual ignitors on a 7m thread (er, thread abortion)? This is the part for the throttle:

Be prepared to do some basic modifications to make it work.

You can use the parts in the kit for this install, you do not need anything else but a bracket or hose clamp. You have to have a 3/4" or 1" unibit to open up the hole in the firewall for the throttle cable to fit. The fitting on the end of the cable at the pedal is the one with a set screw, and it is even tapered just like the stock cable.

this is the same principle as using the JDM 7m throttlebodys. (what i did ) it feels very nice. no sloppy linkage or anything. when i hit the gas pedal, my motor instantly responds. see thread below:

I had not seen that before, but it's basically the same thing, The stock cable is a little too short, isn't it?

the stock one on a turbo car is too short. my car is a turbo swapped 86.5, so i had the N/A throttle cable already. it fits *perfectly*.

edit: by the way, your setup looks nice, very clean.
