I have a 99 civic lx with a d16y7 and I am doing and obd2 b16 swap....will i be able to use the lx radiator when I do the swap or will I have to upgrade to an ex or si radiator? I was told mine would be fine but I wanted to check for sure. Thanks for the help.

Stock D-series rad will work fine, its all i've used doing B-series swaps, you will need to use adjustable gear style hose clamps though to squeeze the larger B-series rad hoses onto the smaller D-series water necks.

If you go to advance they should sell and adapter peice that will let you go from the b-series to the d-series size radiator hose, or you could do what the other guys said.
both will work.
