Electric throttle body to cable throttle body conversion
Has anyone ever converted the eltronic throttle body to a cable throttle body? Or if anyone knows someone that has done this with the 2uzfe? Any help would be appreciated. I've done some searching and just can't find anything about it. I'm underway on the swap right now and could really use the help. Thanks for the help!

You're trying to swap a 2UZ-FE in your vehicle? What flavor engine are you using (i.e. what year/make is the donor vehicle?), there's about 3 roughly just based on throttle bodies, cable, hybrid, and fully electronic.

@ Doc2012
, I've read through his build quite a bit but he doesn't have the write up on it unfortunately.
@ BlackWorksInc
, I have a 2004 tundra limited that is my engine of choice;)

2004 Tundra should be completely electronic unlike the early "hybrid" throttle bodies (I say hybrid because they used a cable as a rough back-up, it was a stop gap to modern "fly by wire")
I need to amend my earlier statement because I was mistaken, the 2UZ-FE came only in 2 flavors in terms of throttle bodies. The early units came with the earlier semi-electronic throttle bodies and then later they were equipped with true completely electronic units. Both units operate by electronically operating the throttle blade, so there isn't any real way to convert them as far as I am aware.
Post Note-
@ Dirtyfingers
Is there any chance your mistaking Singtoe's older throttle body design for a true cable driven one? I skimmed through his build thread and it looks like his powerplant is an older 2001 Sequoia 2UZ-FE which uses that funky hybrid design?

Hence why I mentioned him.
Maybe he can jump in and add something.

I really hope that is what I could use, I'm thinking all I need to do is wire in the TPS, and get the cable adjusted for this. Otherwise I think my swap is going to get put on hold
