Default What would be the best rad hose for my swap?

I have an EG hatch and I am doing a b18b swap... I am using a del sol radiator which has the bigger inlet and outlet tubes for the B series engine. What is the best rad hose to use for this swap??? Do del sol hoses work ok??

Well on the non-vtec head the top hose goes directly under the cam seal in front of the distributer.

oooo didnt know that.... ive only ever had vtec b series. use non vtec integra hoses... they should come off the radiator and to the correct spot.

I am not sure if it will line up right with the tube on the rad because it is a half rad rather than the full width integra one.

both have the same coolant opening on the ;eft side of the radiator. if there is any difference its very small and wont make a difference. I used my stock d16z6 radiator with my b16 swap... just had to buy the hose to match the motor.
