ihave a 97 civic hatch cx and i have stock radiator and i swaped in a b16a2 from a 99 si
i got a used hose which was stupid of me and now itss come back to kick me in the *** because it now has a leak.

so im going to buy a brand new hose i dont know what brand yet not spoon to expensive for me

please help me out i need to know asap

 

Last time I saw a leak because of this was a B18B1 in a '97 CX with a stock radiator. Replaced the radiator with a del Sol VTEC radiator and now there's no problem at all.

 

x2, you should probably go junkyard diving for a del sol radiator and new del sol hoses from autozone/kragen/o' reiley's etc.

 

but if i were buying new i would have to look for del sol radiator hoses?
like what year abouts

 

I might be wrong here, but doesn't Samco sell hoses for swaps?

 

The Samco hoses are meant for B-series in Civics (which as we know is an OEM application too - Si, CTR, etc). So, the hoses fit B-series engines with B-series radiators.

 

you need 94-95 del sol VTEC hoses, basically, its basically your car the way it sits now. B16a from the factory. the radiator is identical except that the del sol vtec radiator is a little thicker 2 core design, if you arent having overheating issues then the radiator swap wont do you a bit of good so dont waste the money.

 

stock.

Wrrronnnggggggggggggg.

You need the stock 99-00 Si hoses, and you need a Del Sol VTEC radiator. There is no stock hose that will fit the stock inlets/outlets on the B16A and then fit the 1-1/8" inlets/outlets on the SOHC Civic radiator. The 99-00 Si and Del Sol VTEC have 1-1/4" inlets/outlets on the radiator.

Here's the radiator you need:

The other option is to buy some T-Bolt clamps and just wring the **** out of your hoses .... but I've still seen that leak.
