well you can use an integra radiator if you want, but it's easier to modify the radiator hose you have. it won't hurt to put a squeeze on the hose, just make sure it's not kinked when you're done.

but BE CAREFUL not to crack the plastic hose neck!!

the plastic part of the radiator, where the upper hose connects, is prone to cracking under moderate clamp pressure. just be careful with it. if it cracks you'll lose coolant and overheat.....not good lol.

You can get a rd hose for a car that had a civic rad and a B series motor, like the 93-97 Del Sol SIR or the 99-00 Civic Si...they should have a small end for the rad and a larger end for the B motor
