It should be the GSR hose. Some hoses you need to trim a little since they try to make them work for different applications. Also I think it was either the thermostat housing or the neck on the head is turned different on at least one of the B16 engines compared to other B series.

When I was getting hoses for my gsr engine, I tried a del sol vtec hose (b series going into a Civic chassis with a half size radiator like a del sol). That hose was too small of diameter. The GSR is a larger diameter I guess and the bends in the lower rad hose are different.

Upper rad hose needs to come from a GS-R due to the way the head on the GS-R is IIRC lower hose doesn't need to be changed.

I know at least the GSR lower hose IS larger than the Del Sol VTEC's lower hose. At least the hose I got from Advance Auto Parts was the size of a D series hose. Maybe the hose was marked wrong, but something to keep in mind, measure your water necks on stuff before going to pick stuff up.

They're the same size, someone at advance gave you a D-series hose.
