Diesel flyby wire to cable

2.2-600-vtec · 28th September 2016, 16:55

Hi can anyone tell me what I need to get to swap out my diesel flyby wire throttle pedal and install the petrol throttle pedal and cable?

Thanks

Sorry Nathan it's not possible, there's nothing to attach a cable to

The throttle and fuelling are carried out electronically with the engine ECU.

Begs the question why would you want to?

The diesel system is far better.

Maybe doing an engine swap? Otherwise no go.

Well if your doing an engine swop and the new engine's throttle is cable driven - do any of the petrol variant 75's use a cable?

if so can't you swop the pedal assembly from one of them ?

If it is a engine swap then there's nothing to stop you utilising an accelerator pedal/cable from a Petrol version.

Yes its for a engine swap. Will just the throttle pedal assembly fit or would it be brake and clutch also?

Some more info on what engine is going into what would help and be easier to explain what you would need.

Hmmmnm ok.

The engine is a O/M T16 Hybrid Twin turbo. But on the throttle side the cable is almost identical to the 1.8 k series

So a T series going into a ZT? is that right? and very interesting conversion... this going into a CDTi shell?
You'd need to run the petrol K4 throttle linkage and wiring, you'd need the entire setup from a petrol car.. not sure whats different on the pedal end though as i've never looked.
