No TB spacers that I am aware of. Why would you want a TB spacer? No underdrive pullies. Rick's did have some regular pullies but their site no longer lists them. Larger TB you can go with custom like Erick's Racing or you can get aftermarket (Spoon) or have yours modified by Proflow or others. Proflow has done dozens if not hundreds of S2000 TBs.

i assume that you have already taken the slack out of your throttle cable?
thats the most important improvement i know of for the throttle- unless you want a larger tb.
like sideways, i dont know what spacer you would need.

uhm, TB spacer would only atomize air.... fuel is injected into the stream after the TB, not in/before it....

Spacer is worthless - larger TB is only valuable if the engine has mods downstream - undersize pullies won't matter much on a car with electric Poweer steering.

Focus your time and money elsewhere.

Speed TB gained about 3hp across the powerband.
"Speeeding" has a dyno to prove.
