Default radiator issues with b18c in ek coupe

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!
Ricky

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?

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?
