i've done a B16 swap and having radiator and hose fitting problems
I swapped a B16 into my 92 civic DX and the radiator hoses of the d15 wont fit the b16, so I buy larger radiator hoses and they are nearly to big for the radiator end, the top hose I can get tight enough not to leak but the bottom radiator hose I cant get as tight, so where the bottom hose and radiator connect it leaks. What hoses or radiator should I use for this swap. Thanks
If this isnt the right forum for this topic sorry, I didnt know where else to put it.

99 Si hoses work well -but still are a little large for the radiator, but can be tightened down with using aftermarket hose clamps.
If you were to replace the radiator with a 99 Si one, then you wouldn't have any fitment troubles -but just use the hose clamps that screw down with the SI hoses and you will be fine.

Buy a del sol VTEC radiator. I got mine from radiatorbarn.com for less than $100 shipped, then use integra gsr hoses.
