when you put a b16 (hydro tranny) from a 92-95 SiR into a 92-95 hatch, what radiator and hoses do i need? i was looking to replace with an aluminum radiator and some aftermarket hoses, but i wasnt sure if the eg radiator was good enough for the motor, or if the b16's radiator would fit into the car.

and what radiator would you all run with? i dont want to go throw down a whole lot of cash on an expensive one, but i dont exactly want a ghetto radiator from ebay thatll **** on me in a week.

thanks

A stock D-series rad works fine, anytime I ever did a B-series swap for someone thats all we ever used, you simply need to use adjustable hose clamps to squeeze the hoses over the smaller inlets of the D-series rad. For the ultimate OEM solution though use a '94 - '97 Del Sol Vtec rad or one from a '99 - '00 Si, both are half sized rads designed for the civic chassis, but they are dual core and have the larger B-series inlets. Use '94 - '97 or '99 - '00 civic Si hoses.
