If you don't need the extra flow, don't bother. Time and money better spent elsewhere, come back to the TB later down the road..

turbo cam/cam gear, a new IM would benefit you more than just the TB, i know you're still looking for a clutch and a lightweight flywheel would help a lot....there are tons of stuff to do still. If you want to open up some flow though i'd really look at an aftermarket IM like the Victor X which has a very large plenum...

Re: Ls throttle body on D series intake mani
well actually the h22/h23 throttle bodies are 62mm and yes they do make a difference that is quite noticeable! i had a 98 h22 throttle body on my 98 d16y8 in my civic ex coupe and i noticed a nice gain. the stock y8 was 56mm and the h22 is 62mm, now why wouldnt that be worth your time to swap them????? 
i even ported the intake where the throttle body bolted up because the intake opening was much smaller than the throttle body. so if i had to do it again i would definately do it again!

im sure it wouldnt be hard to do yourself. if not, talk to more impatient, i believe he was doing some porting himself. if so im sure hed probably do it cheap just to get more practice.
