What is Honda App

TBH I’m not sure what the honda app is I found the term through Justin Barrera. it seems to be a really cool adapter that ill lean on later.

Justin has gone through a conversion of drive-by-cable to drive-by-wire for a 1.8 Factory Intake NB. However he has decided against using the Bosch throttle body and instead use the ND miata throttle body. But I will be using the Skunk2 Intake Manifold as it flows air better due to its design. So Justin’s included a photo and upon search through his old facebook posts I was able to find that he has orginally planned to use a Mercedes pedal accelerator, but later on switched to a Honda Pedal Accelerator. This is what he refers to as Honda APP. upon further research i’ve found the part number is 37971-RBB-003. At the time of writing this the part is in the $150~$175 for the unit. I’ve found an amazon alternative replace for this off amazon for $40. During my testing stage I feel this would be a good option until I can confirm everythng works as intended.
