K20 throw body differences?

I'm looking at thermal gaskets and was wondering the differences in the k20a3, k20a2, and the k20z1 (civic 06 si) throttle bodies as far as gaskets and spacers as far as comparability on a k20a3. Thanks

the base A3 will be different and not swappable with any of the full vtec engines like a2 and z1.

The throttle body part numbers are the same on the EP3 K20a3 (PRC intake manifold?) and the RSX-S throttle body.

The EP3 actually has a PRB manifold (same as the RSX-S). The base has that ****ed up ugly black one lol

The base RSX seems to be the real bastard child of Honda (instead of the EP3)
