Or even a LS swap in a Ek...

The GSR radiator hose is to be used, but the problem with using the stock civic radiator is the inlets are of a smaller diameter but if you tighten it down properly then it shouldn't be much of a problem. If your using the screw tightening clamps, then you might want to switch them with the push and lock type.

push and lock?

the hose looked fine, wasnt cut or had holes thats why we didnt buy a new one. could it just be an ageing hose?

By push and lock i just mean the original. And it could just be an old hose but if it looks fine then it should be okay, but if it's just seaping out between the hose and the in & outlets, then it should just have to be readjusted and tightened

oh we had those on their before and it was too big, with the others it stoped a lot. we're probably going to flush out the radiator so might as well just get a new hose.
