Default Y7 radiator hose problem with GSR rad

As topic. I have a GSR radiator for my 92 EH Civic with 99 D16Y7. What kinda hose would I need to hook up the rad and my block? Would there be any difference if I use the same GSR radiator setup on a 99-00 Civic?

Tried to search but can't find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Can I just use rad hoses that are off from GSRs? Will the "bends" on the GSR hoses work on the D16Y7 block?

Looking at my y7 compared to the b16 swap i have in my garage. It looks like the bends and hoses are different on the B. The hoses are allso a bit bigger due to the bigger neck on the B-series radiator. I do not know if it will fit or not though. I'm using the Rad/hoses from the B16 with my b16 swap to be safe.

I'm going to run dual core del sol radiator. The necs are a bit larger then the necks on my old radiator form the d16y7 setup.

Get 99-00 civic si hoses and ask for radiator hose adapters. They allow a bigger hose to fit on a smaller fitting. That way the SI hoses will fit on the radiator since they are the same size, and the adapters will allow the SI hoses to fit leak free on the engine.
