I'm working on a K swap in a non-Miata and one of the questions I've been unable to answer with my googlefu is the Miata throttle cable travel. Kpower offers their throttle body with a Miata or E30 pulley wheel, but the only information I've been able to find is the e30 wheel pulls more cable than the Miata. I've emailed them, but the person answering their questions(not David) says he can't give me that info. I'm a little frustrated with that answer as I plan to buy a few expensive parts from them and I'm just trying to get the part which best fits my application. Obviously I can buy one and return for the other if it doesn't work, but I'd like to avoid that as returns/exchanges suck for both parties.

Does anyone know the factory Miata throttle cable travel from closed to WOT? Alternatively, if someone reading this has the Kpower throttle body, can they measure the distance from the center of the pulley wheel to the center of the throttle cable end?

1997 1.8 Miata:

35mm cable travel
3.5cm
1" 3/8

I placed a jackstand on the pedal and confirmed that the throttle body was wide open, made a mark with a sharpie on the cable, removed the jackstand and measured how much cable was then exposed to my mark. Hope this helps Θ7.
