Default Heater hose question in B18C swap.

I already searched this but I didn't come up with anything that helps me. I am putting a B18 into a 95 eh. I was told that the civic heater hose coming off of the fire wall will be too short to use in this swap. My question is, do I buy the GSR hose and use that, or should I just buy a universal hose and use that?

I hope that this makes sense to you guys. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Thanks

use integra heater hose for the "in" heater hose and connect it to the heater valve. and the "out" heater hose i used civic's to connect directly to the main coolant line under the Intake manifold and threw out integra's hose

refer to #3 which is the civic "in" heater hose, which can be used for you b18c heater out side.

for the "in" side of the heater core (left side if you're looking directly at it, if i'm not mistaken) i used the integra's heater hose. for the "out," right side obviously, i bought one long hose and cut it in two. i tried the integra's and the civic's heater hose, and they both don't work. the civic is too short and the integra's doesn't bend correctly. well, anyways, i cut the long heater hose in two, making sure the bend from the "out" of the heater core to the connecting pipe, is a smooth bend. and i connected the two hoses with a hose connector.

trust me you don't have to buy a hose if you still have your civic hose in the pic above


again for you set up use the civic in hose as the outgoing heater hose for you hybrid. it works and a perfect fit.
