Default Radiator and Heater Hoses for B16A in CRX

Im putting in a b16A into my CRX and I need to put in new radiator and heater hoses.

For what makes and models can I get these parts for?

CRX Radiator upper and lower hoses + any B-Series Heater hoses?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just used the same heater hoses from my d series. Now for the rad hoses i put in a full length rad from a 90-93 teg. They have b series engines already so b series size hoses fit without having to stretch them or over tighten them to get to seal. I did this on my 91 sedan with a gsr swap

I have a full size rad on my CRX already. I already replaced the upper hose with one for a CRX, so I am guessing that I can use a CRX lower rad hose too?

Have had various B-motors in mine and always used 93 integra rad hoses. That is with a full size rad though.

Im confused. From what you guys are saying, both CRX and Integra heater hoses/radiator hoses will work....

So will both types work?

The original single cam rad hoses are smaller (in diameter) than the b series hoses.

You CAN use the single cam hoses on your b series engine but you will have to stretch them over the ports where they connect to the engine.

Some ppl use the bigger b series hoses with the d series radiator, they just have to really tighten the clamp.

This is why i said i used a 90-93 radiator so all the ports for my coolant hoses were the same. I hope this does not further confuse you.

^what he said.

it's best to use new hoses(single cam) so they can stretch and slide in easily rather than re-using the old and brittle hoses.

Thank you. So it looks like the CRX Radiator and Heater hoses will be what I will be using!

Im still confused. Epic Autosports said that I need the 93 Integra Upper and Lower Radiator hoses and I can re-use my CRX hoses.

Should I just get ALL Integra Upper/Lower and Heater Hoses?
