DBW -> Mechanical Throttle/Cable Conversion
«

December 21, 2009, 03:38:22 AM »
Hey all,
So, having driven the TSX for nearly 7 months (wow! it's been a long time), I often find myself longing for my old Accord back.
It's the DBW! Sometimes, I don't mind it, but other times, it bugs me to no end. I've read on many a forum that the DBW on the S2000 and some German vehicles are pretty accurate to the feel of a cable throttle, but for some reason, Acura just did not do that for the 1gen TSX, nor do they have any intention of doing so. Hondata hasn't pursued any solution to this due to liability issues. I haven't test driven the 2nd gen TSX to see if the DBW is any better, but, the 2G is ugly as ass anyway.
SO! My question is,
is it possible to convert to a mechanical throttle?
The last post here suggests it is, by using an 03-05 Accord TB and the dual ECU K-Pro:
http://www.k20a.org/forum/showthread.php?t=52269
I've tried pursuing this question at tsxclub.com (
http://tsxclub.com/forums/1st-gen-engine/40338-converting-mechanical-throttle-cable.html
), but no one has tried this, and one folk there is absolutely not helpful, and I'm tired of him whoring my thread.
Then I was reminded of the mechanical expertise here at elite (yes, shameless flattery after not coming onto this forum for so long), and thought I could find some more direct help from you folk.
Anyway, any insight would be excruciatingly appreciated.
A year ago, you helped me with my Accord; now I beg you to help me in my struggle against the DBW. I regret I am unable to present my request in to you in person, but I live in Canada... This is our most desperate hour... Help me Obi Wan Keno--- Help me EliteCM... You're my only hope.

From what you've already stated, Blinx and Paul have done that swap on Blinx's 7.5 CM. I don't know how much is involved but they did it. There's also talks on v6p about the
Buddy Club e-throttle booster
. I haven't really perused through that thread since I have a cable throttle. Hopefully some of what I said helps steer you in the direction you want to go.

Dang, I've read that numerous times before, but because I'm not so mechanically inclined, and I didn't know what I was looking for before, only now did it make sense to me. Thanks for redirecting that link to me Timmy. It answers a lot.

Just for the record, there's only one person allowed to call me that and none of you fuckers are that person.

It wasn't intended for you. It was intended for everyone else that thinks it's okay to call me that.

Numbnuts eh?
Merry Christmas to you too. If
TIM
wants an apology from me, he can ask for it himself; ban me if you feel that warrants it. I don't know the rules to this forum.

Yeah, I wouldn't take this so seriously man. I'm not looking for an apology, just don't call me that. It pisses me off, so we can leave it at that and move on.

Easy now. I call everyone here something whether it be fucktard, numbnuts, needledick, fucker, whatever. If you take offense let me know. Just because you called Tim by a name he doesn't like doesn't mean you're going to get banned. That's not how we roll. It's kind of an unspoken rule. No need to get defensive. Just rub your ears and say woosah, k?
