You could probably fit any throttle body with the right adapter. I'd say it's not worth it at all, considering the fact that it won't produce noticeable results.

If it needs an adapter, then it doesnt "bolt on". Besides, I dont see the point... you cant port out the hole in the manfold without making a mess.

I'm a tad confused here. You want to run a DC5 throttle body, on the D17's intake manifold? So, you can use a DC5's intake, or just a larger tubing intake?

Regardless, throwing more flow into the equation won't help your D17 perform better. As is, it's not requiring more flow on the intake side, as much as it's requiring better cams to put more air in the cylinders. To be honest, increasing the air volume by that much, will probably hurt you a lot more than help you.

Agree with toyomatt
That's what they called AF(air fuel) mixture.
