I am in the last stage of doing a swap and we notice when hooking up the GSR rad hoses to the stock rad, the rad inlet and outlet are actually smaller than the rad hose. The factory spring clamps will not seal the hoses. Has anyone faced this problem? One of my friend suggested to use the screw type clamp and clamp it down but i am little weary of doing so. Anyone has done this before? Will there be any problems?

I also heard that the SI/SIR coupe rad is the same rad as the regular civic but with larger inlets and outlets....can anyone verify this?

Thanks.

yes buy the screw type clamps and your problems will be solved. make sure they dont leak when installed

Raditor hoses right?
Use Del Sol VTEC hoses.
