So I was considering getting larger throttle body for my DC5r, i was doing my research and came across this particular thread:

http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/intake-spacer-discussion/213894-gains-bigger-throttle-body.html

this is basically saying that a bigger throttle body wont allow for any benefits unless you are outflowing the capabilities of the stock TB.

and so this lead me to think: 'are my mods significant enough for me to benefit from a TB?'

I'd like your thoughts, The only engine mods i have atm are:
- Injen CAI
- Xforce headers and cat
- Custom B pipe
- Greddy Tic Axleback

Feel free to also suggest some other engine mods that i may benefit from

I would look more into cams and pistons to see any gains with a bigger throttle body

I just read that thread, it actually says in there what mods they believe will show gains with a bigger TB, give it a proper read

Unless you plan to work the car a fair bit in the future your money is better spent elsewhere on a KPRO+tune or something, Had a skunk2 TB on my EP3 few years back (brought car with it) and replaced it with stock TB - felt little/no difference at all

Most people who tend to go with bigger throttle bodies are those who have also upgraded their intake manifold. But even with both, without a tune you won't see much gains

u mad?

bigger tb plus rrc/rbc with tune is the way to go.
