4. Throttle cable
My preferred method for dealing with the 16v cable being too short for the 20v is to simply reroute it. I drill a second hole in the fire wall about 6inches to the passenger side of the original throttle cable hole (be careful not to hit anything under the dash when you do this). I then route the cable under the dash, under the center console, behind the rear firewall and out the trunk release cable hole in the rear firewall (if you want to keep your trunk release, a second hole can be drilled). This puts the throttle cable in the perfect position with more than enough length.

Hey, I’m planning to do this swap over the summer, how do I get one of these ‘plug and play’ harnesses?
I am also interested in a harness, could you please get in contact with me if its still an option. I have a mk1 mr2 with the swap already done, but it was done poorly and the harness is hacked….

Looks like this old writeup of mine travels far. Originally did it on mr2.com 6 years ago maybe.

I swap the 20v among other things.
