you can use damn near any honda throttle body-D-H-B-----but keep in mind the location of the IACV on each one, some are different. but they will all work.

Honda has two main flanges for their Throttle bodys for the pertinent motors(D, H, B)
1) The first flange was for the 88-91 MPFI D-Series, this was used for a bit....and then dropped off the face of the world.
2) The second flange sprang to life with the introduction of the B-Series in 1990 and in 92 spread to the D-Series and whenever the H-Series popped up, it spread to that too.

Let me break it down further:

[B[THE ONLY[/B] Commonly found throttle bodies that will work on the 88-91 SOHC MPFI intake manifolds are the throttle bodies designed for those manifolds.

B16A and B18A throttle bodies will bolt onto the manifold. You need to bore out the flange on the intake manifold itself so the B series throttle body can open up 100% with no interference.

I don't know if it will work. I know the whole IM bolts up, but theres no point to that.

If I were you I'd look for an LS throttle body and port match. If you are going to cam the A6 it will be useful, if you are going to turbo it will be useful aswell. It's useful all around without a tune.
