Default What upper Rad hose for b16 swap?

what upper hose will work for b16 in EG. i searched and only found b16 in CRX and b18 in 5th gen civics.

i was thinking of getting a 90-93 lower rad hose and cuting it to make it fit, im pretty sure this will work, but there had to be a hose that will fit it.... what is it?

when i go to honda to get a rad hose then do i tell them i want a del sol vtec uper rad hose? but will a SOHC vtec upper rad hose work for the DOHC engine?

will a 90-93 lower teg hose fit if i cut it?

you need the b16 del sol radiator hoses because they taper down at the rad to give you a perfect fit.

The sohc will not work for the dohc. get the del sol dohc vtec radiator hoses, or either the 99-00 civic si or the gsr's.

they will all work.

You can use any DOHC hoses but you need to use those clamps with the screw going through them so you can tighten them really good at the rad.

You can also use your SOHC hose, heat both ends that go to the motor and they'll slide right on.

thanks for all your replys, and im going to gear something up. i got a 99 Si (Sir here in Canada) from auto choice, but it was way short so im guessing they gave me the wrong 1. im going to try a teg one tomorrow and gear something up if that doesnt work...

i went to honda to order upper rad hose and it was over 60 bux
