i have an integra radiator laying around and my radiator just busted today. instead of spend money i was trying to just fit it. its a 90 si with a stock motor. it looks like the upper hose will work and i have it in there my only problem is the lower hose is too small to go on. anyone know which hose will solve this problem?

 

on mine I got a aluminum radiator for a DA and I used integra hoses try that

 

Could try using the teg lower hose( and trimming if necessary ), and leaving a piece of the original radiator hose on the engine side, and sliding the teg hose over it. Then clamp the **** out of it and hope there are no leaks.

It's ghetto, and I had problems with a similar set up that was in my car when I got it, but it can work if you don't have any money for the right parts....though there is a reason my car wasn't like that very long.

You could also try going to a decent parts store with your original hose, and see if they can find one with a close enough shape( but with differing end sizes ), that comes from a different vehicle. Might stumble on something that works, but it will take comparing the hoses to find it.

 

before inserting the hose, try applying a lubricant such as hair shampoo or dish washing liquid soap into the hose's inner walls.

 

I tried lubricating it. It wouldn't go. What year range would that integra radiator be from I can't remember I had it laying around so long.

 

I put a Integra radiator in my ef hatch without a hitch. I used the stock d15b1 lower hose and a 90 Integra GS upper hose (trimmed). I just had to bend the driver side top mount a little to make it fit flush. I would lubricate the bottom nipples on the radiator so that it will sit completely down in the stock lower radiator mounts.
