the dual core del sol radiator is from a del sol VTEC. it has a b16 engine from the factory, and a b series engines have a larger water neck and water hoses than d series engines...

you can use radiator hoses from a 90-93 integra and just use some hose clamps on the smaller engine side to keep the hoses from leaking.
