Default Black top zetec inlet conversion

What throttle cable does everyone use? It's in a fiesta so already have the efi pedal? Part number would be great ?

I'm going to get all the bits to do a pedal conversion tomorrow so could get it all at once?

And has anyone got a erst .48 rear housing for sale?

Your using a black top inlet manifold and TB? The fiesta cable wont fit. You can use a mis-match of parts to make it a frs inlet tho which will work. I've got pictures if you need.

It won't? Thats what I used...... Hmmm or maybe I used the Mondeo cable?! You've got me doubting now, either way one of them fit's with no modifications, you'll soon know by looking at the TB.

Blacktop tb has a peg, and the cable has a loop with a rubber/nylon insert.

i will have a look, so its either my throttle bodie or a mondeo blacktop zetec one

im not bothering with frs throttle bodie as nigel b ran 2bar with a gt28 through a blacktop zetec before it started to struggle

im not going to run that, more like 1.5 bar on a 4x4 cossie t3

I used a focus rs inlet/throttle body and a xr3i efi cable and pedal, I cut the throttle cable bracket down on the throttle body and chopped a 3i efi bracket down and made a hybrid bracket. My mate welded it up and it works a treat. Can get a picture if needed.

That stood my mate bought a complete engine and it came with the inlet
So was asking about using it rather than the moody Efi inlet onto his Zetec
