Ok, so heres the problem.
We just finished a b16a motor swap in a del sol. The stock radiator from the del sol is too small on the inlet/outlet. THe B-series hoses are just a little too big.

correct me if im wrong, but isnt the stock del sol rad. a 1 1/8" inlet/outlet
and the b-series motor (civic si 00) is a 1 1/4" inlet/outlet?

if so, then will this solve my problem?:

won't this basically be a drop-in exchange of the oem one, and allow me to re-use the B-series hoses without any modification?????

THanks for any help at all!!!!!

 

it funny how you word it one forum like this and on another forum like something else...

you can use a SOHC rad, all you need to do is get LS hoses, and the bottom should fit fine and the top one you will have to add a little(be creative) of hose on the inside, if you know what i mean ( ( ) ) kinda like this effect.

i hope this help. trying to save your buddy or yourself some money... it work for me

o yes, to be exact on the hose, just take it up to autozone and have them match the linings

 

thankyou. Whats the size on the LS hose for the lower one?Is it 1.25" on teh lower?

 

Try password.jdm for the hoses if you want nice onces. I believe they were samco.
