I am trying to hook up a short ram intake in my 1993 honda civic vx, it has a d15z1 engine and i really need to know the size of the throttle body. And any recommendations as to what i should use.
Thanks

Just keep your stock one. A short ram on a Z1 is pointless.

The stock intake arm and airbox. Forget the silly noisemaker intakes and enjoy your 52mpg.

QFT. Obnoxious noise is all you're going to get out of it. That, and a loss of low end torque, which is bad on an already torque-less economy engine.

Thanks guys but the thing is that when i bought the car, the person that sold it to me didnt have the stock one on there, he had an intake from a 96 civic and the intake is very loose on the throttle body and i dont want it sucking up stuff, so i really need to know the size of the throttle body. If anyone can help

Just measured an HF throttle body and its 1.75" (44.4mm), think it might be pretty close to that. Your best bet would probably to use the Y7 intake he gave you and go to home depot to the PVC isle and get a rubber drain coupling that goes from 2" to 3" and use that.
Looks like this:

If i am going to stick with my SOHC and later on turbo it, should i just buy a new intake manifold now. So that i am able to hook up the intake.

why would you turbo that motor, seriously? just drive it for mileage or swap in a D15B if you want to stay SOHC
