I'm doing my GE GTE swap and wondering about the throttle connections..

Found this picture on the web:
p1526269_1.jpg


and that's got the same throttle bracket as my GE(where the throttle wires go into)

And then it's got a rod going to the throttle body... but my GTE throttle body doesn't have any rod connection.. it's just got connections for wires..

So what kinda bracket etc do I need on my engine?

Thanks

That throttle body is JDM TyTe Yo! haha. That's a JDM throttle body, the throttle cable is supposed to connect straight to it. The top picture you posted is of a USDM spec engine (with USDM spec throttle body).

Is your car RHD or LHD? If RHD, I believe the throttle cable goes across the engine to the throttle, but don't quote me on that one. Waiting for someone with this style connection to "chime" in

You want it to look like the first pic. Prolly going to need a lhd tb unless the linkage will mount on that tb which i have no clue.
