Are you guys sure? I have a b18b in my car and had to replace the upper radiator hose, I bought it for the civic rather integra and it didn't fit(way too small). So I had to go buy the hose for the b18b engine.

I just did my swap into my hatch and I had to use the upper radiator hose off an Integra, you will probably have to trim it a bit

I encountered a problem once with the map sensor, for some reason I had two. If that happens to you make sure you plug the right one in.
