Somebody's Throttle Linkage?

Greetings-

First, I feel a fool, but I cannot find a thread from a short while back where someone posted a custom throttle conversion system when they converted to a Motronic system. Would someone remember where that was?

Hi,

I am just about to finish my swap to a modified B11/3 engine and basically had the problem few weeks ago. Think we found an elegant solution - I could post some pics next week after the car is back in my place.
Basically, the easiest solution is to convert the lever you move by pressing the gas pedal from pushing to pulling - and then manufacture a counter bearing (which you can for example fasten at the brake booster or similar) for a custom built throttle cable...

Will post pics as soon as possible if you are interested in!

Best regards,
Daniel

This is how my setup looks:

Probably similar to Daniels, nothing complicated about it. Could, as always, be neater but it works. Main thing is to make sure there is no chafing on the wire.

johanalexson-

Nice setup.

Not quite what I remember seeing. Has anyone converted the CSi throttle setup onto the Motronic manifold/throttle?

Any updates on this?

HEY X_AtlasO,

Is this what you are looking for on: First Five Registry , under Technical Faq. titled Montronic Throttle Conversion
