ok so i want to buy a fluidyne or koyo racing radiator for my 98 civic which will be getting a b18c drop in soon...what about the hoses? do the stock hoses reach to the radiator from a b18 or do i need to order some special ones? current motor is a d16y5 (non vtec) if that helps

thanks!

if you buy an integra radiator it will be harder to even fit it in the chassis. if you buy the civic oversize radiator it should ft like stock with more thickness only.

I do believe you will need the 99-00 Si hoses. Theres also an issue with the radiator inlet/outlet sizes as well. I'm not sure but I think I remember that being the case and it would make sense.

Can anyone confirm?

ricky05

well what CAN i do so that i can retain A/C? i need AC when vegas summers come in...lol

what radiator will work in a 98 civic with a 2000 gsr engine? what hoses do i need..etc.. thanks

the stock radiator works great.

ricky05

stock civic...or stock integra..

and the stock ek hoses fit on b18? thats what i dont understand

v4lu3s

the stock civic radiator works perfectly fine. hell i used a stock civic radiator with an h22a for several years til i turboed and went woth a thicker civic one.

what about the hoses? and can u keep a/c? what about an aftermarket radiator..which ones support keeping a/c. i would rather have an aftermarket one

if you absolutely have to waste money on an aftermarket one you buy a civic aftermarket one. do you know what the difference between a civic and integra radiator is?

ricky05

no i dont.
