Take it to your local auto parts store, and get one for a Honda car.
I can't remember exactly which car but it believe it is from 86-89. The auto parts store will be able to match it up, and you will pay about a quarter of the price of a factory one from Honda.

I work at an auto parts store and that's where I got mine. It's the small cap, like 32mm, or something like that. I try to check the actual car that it fits, but it's exactly the same, and I think you can get them in 13lb. (1.1) and 16lb. (1.3).

so 1.1 is 13lb and 1.3 is 16lb?

I checked today, and was wrong on the ratings for these caps. The 16lb. is 1.1, so that would make the 13lb. 0.9. I don't think you will find a cap with higher pressure than the 16lb. To help your parts store get you the right one, here's the applications.

13lb.
90-91 Prelude
88-91 CRX

16lb.
93-01 Prelude
90-04 Accord
