What size throttle body would be a good fit on a h22a4?
I want to get a bigger throttle for my motor but don't have the extra money for extra upgrades, so what size throttle body would work fine on a unmodified motor.
Things that I have done is cold air intake and full exhaust kit.

The stock one is more than adequate. A larger T/B on an otherwise stock engine will only lose power in the midrange... there will be no gains in peak power. Save your money.
I want to a bigger T/B but nothing massive just wondering cause I'm between a 62mm and a 66mm T/B if I can without bogging the power I want the 66mm but I'm ok with the 62mm if that wouldn't bog the power.
In my opinion you're way better off saving your money and getting a tune to maximize the benefits of the other mods you've already done. From what I've heard (may or may not be true, so take this with a grain of salt) bigger throttle bodies only really help when accompanied by port/polishing work, cams/valves etc.

Finally OP... here is a practical example: My RSX-S K24/20 makes nearly 260 wheel HP on a 64.5mm throttle body, so if you think you need a 70mm T/B for your bolt-on H22A... you aren't listening.

JR is right on the money here. Bigger does not always mean better. A throttle body too large on an NA engine will slow down air velocity to a point that it causes detrimental effects on how the engine behaves and power output in certain areas.
