Default throttle bodys for a civic

i have searched and didnt find anything for what i was trying to do,
i got a d15 block with hi comp pistons rods and a d16 vetacker head with skunk 2 valve train and cam, its got 3 angle valve job and all that junk, its been decked had the head shaved. now before i go on, i know no body in there right mind would dump all there money into a d15 but someone did and it wasnt me, i bought the car and built its whith the parts he had. but i wanted to know if i got a bigger throttle body and ported the intake manifold if that would give it some more power or if it wouldnt be worth it. i also wanted to know if any other stock throttle bodys that were bigger would fit on my engine and if so what they are. and if not what size throttle body do you think i should use on this engine???
all comments greatly appretiated. and please, dont hate to bad.

Sell the motor and buy a stock d16z6 and boost it.

I believe Summit Racing sells TB for D16's.

Think about the gains and how much it's going to cost...

doesnt the d15b make more hp and more torque?

Why would you put a z6 head on a 15b block the d15 head has more aggressive camshaft and better numbers i thought.

I put a prelude tb on mine (62mm) 10 bigger than z6 it will be a better gain for the money better throttle response.

wow, this thread was compleatly useless, like i said i dont no why you would spend all that money on a d 15 i have a LS engine but im building and bosting it at the moment and all this **** was free, and not a damn one of you can say that you wouldnt take all that stuff for free and if you do your full of ******* ****, and i put a d16 head one the d15 block because it alreade had a SKUNK 2 cam in it and valves and springs therefore being more agressive than a STOCK d15, but im so damn happy i could be the reason you all wasted 5 mins of your life so you could stop and make yourself look like a jack ***, thank you for that honor. and the dick head that said sell it, thank you, you signify the stupid ******** that make this sight ABSOLUTLY ******* USELESS. but really though please dont post anymore useless info on this thread unless its about a damn throttle body cause im starting to feel bad for being the cause of your wasted life.....
and thank you to the ones who posted positive stuff

I said you could use a prelude throttle body its
like 10mm bigger than d16z6 alotta aftermarket IMs have clearance issues in the firewall besides its cheaper just to port yours out.

yea but im pretty sure on the side the cold air goes on is 2mm bigger than the side that goes to the IM. it kinda funnels down. cause my ls is 62 on the outside but then again i havnt measured the inside cause its still on the motor. and i aint tryin to take it off. but i guess what im sayin is do you think i should put a 62 mm on it if i can get one.

I would definitely it might make more of an increase than you think considering all the head work and motor work done. Not just bolt ons like me.

also check this out. http://Www.inlinefour.com/blvest.html. I've read where some people report up to a lb. Of boost in their motor just using this intake system.
