What rad hose do you guys use for a b16a swap?
I learned this weekend that if you have the stock crx radiator, then you will need the 94 Del sol Vtec upper hose.....it fits the radiator neck like a glove but for the thermostat housing you must slit the side of it slightly and it is a very tight fit. If you buy the 92-92 gsr upper hose it will be too large. I cant remember which lower hose I bought it was either 90-91 or 92 gsr lower hose, and I was able to clamp it to the radiator very tightly. If you have the DA radiator then da hoses will work fine
The radiator was changed before I bought the car. It's thin and long. I guess I'm gonna have to remove the hoses and use them as samples. Or I'll post pictures later on.
the 92 teg hose works but you need to cut it, the del sol VTEC one will fit but just barely... i would recommend cutting a teg one.

I used the Flexible Hoses. They work wonders. and after the coolant rushes through them they stay were you put them. they aren't that more expensive then regular hoses. and some good stainless hose clamps will work bitching on the block on the rad.
or you could be like my buddy who claims the dealership put "type-r" hoses on his new civic Ex.
