Default throttle body for a d15

Yes, but why stop there.

Get a DOHC throttle body. They fit.

No. I have a 95 cx and the bolt pattern is different than other throttle bodies. you would have to match the intake manifold too. Get a different intake manifold, and while you are at it, a different (16 valve) head and an EX/Si transmission. And a header. All very cheap, and makes more than 70 horsepower.

D15B7 and D16Z6 TB's are the same size.

The bigger TB won't help the D15B either.

Your best bet is to swap on a D16A6 or D15B7 head and D15B7 or D16Z6 intake manifold.

Expect 30-35 HP gain.
