Thumbs up TL throttle body on S2000?

Would an Acura TL throttle body fit on an S2000? Since both cars have DBW, and knowing that the TL throttle body is larger than the S2000's, this might be a good upgrade.

Food for thought.

People have been putting larger throttle bodies on S2000s since they first came out and unless you are F.I. they do nothing. In fact, in some cases, they adversely affect drivability. "Bigger" is not always "better".

I understand that. I am simply exploring possibilities for when my S is boosted.

throttle bodies arent worth the hassle. i remember the ITR throttle body hype years ago and paeople were paing 200-300 bucks for one for their b18c1, b18b and b16a. They had no gains, there was a test where the an b18b throttle body was put on the ITR's b18c5 and it lost no power
