Well this is good news then.

Btw, what did you do to your throttle body....did you just rotate the pulley?

I honestly do not remember. I "figured" it out 5-6yrs ago.

I had 4 throttle bodies at the time and I used parts off of one of them on the stock TB that came with the motor. The stock pulley put a retarted angle on the throttle cable that almost caused me to die downshifting on an offramp.. the cable got stuck.

Oh jeez...

My cable comes into the pulley at the right angle (left-to-right), but the point where the end of the cable locks in to the pulley is pretty far on the underside of the pulley.

...i.e. the cable wraps pretty far around the pulley.....I am concerned that over time, this is putting more stress on the throttle body.....my gas pedal feel firmed up significantly since i rigged it up on the new Greddy IM.

I may take the throttle body to a buddy and have him weld the throttle plate to the rod, right smack dab on top of the screws.....just to be safe.

Wow man thats scary, I am planning on running this throttle bracket

It lines up with the pulley perfectly. If anyone else wants one lmk they are kind of pricey but you only have to buy it once so thats good.

I need a new s13 SR throttle body if anyone has one...?

all this mods to the fuel rail makes me wonder what i did wrong then.
im not trying to be a dick or rude at all but i had no mods to my fuel rail at all to run a greddy IM. i have no issues with fitment or anything.
also, i have a write up on how to modify your s13 sr stock throttle cable without have to get an s14 pulley or make custom brakets...

I ran mine none modified for years... bent one of the brackets up a tad and had to bend the stock FPR slightly to clear the TB. It was ugly but worked. When I decided to go all -AN I modded/powder coated it so it looked cleaner as there were not many cost effective options for a side feed rail.. and considering the bore on the stock rail is big enough for the power I was looking for there was no real need.
