Any alternate throttle body's for clp?

I've been looking for a bigger throttle body that will bolt on to our intakes.
I know cls's tls's will work but I can't even find any for sale thats reasonable.
Can we use any ,RL,MDX,or PILOT ? And what years,if you know

Careful here. Know that the bigger TB you buy will bolt up to an intake manifold that is sized to match the factory smaller TB. There can be no gain. You'll have to enlarge the opening there by porting it, AND you must also get the Type-S sized intake that runs from the air cleaner to the TB. Have you done CAI, headers and UR crank pulley yet?

Yes I'm fully aware of all,there will be machine work happening.I am staying with the clp manifold for now.(For hood clearance) Waiting for civic's 09 measurements and see how tall it iis compared to the clp manifold.
I'm just trying to find a larger throttle body that will bolt on.Everything else is not a issue, yet.

Probally going to do some test fitting, and part collecting in the next couple weeks.drop off to a machine shop and do even more part collecting over the winter and possibly bust out a pretty fast clp in the spring. well see.

Sounds good. You can do a Type S manifold, with its IMRC you'll pick up ten HP they say and to activate it you run a rpm wire. A few guys have done that. It will fit under the hood just fine. With I/H/P you'll be happy I think.

I can't,it won't fit.I'm also doing the spacer the rajca is doing and I'm trying to keep it under the hood.
If I can't, I will get a bigger manifold,just not yet.
