Default question about radiator swap !

i have a gsr in my civic that has the singe core radiator.
my question is do we use the single upper hose with a del sol dual core lower hose.

secondly if not which hose should i use because i have the gsr hoses and they are not working to well, it keeps on leaking.

thirdly, what is the part number for the dual core del sol radiator because i believe some people just switch that over to properly fit the hoses.

thanks in advance,

you have to use the gsr hose (its just b-series hoses) because the d-series hoses are to small to go on the motor. you have to get a clamp that is strong enough that it stops the leak. the only way to get around it is to get a beseries radiator that has bigger outlets for the b-series hoses
