Anyone have any good experience with a rad/heater hose kit? I want to replace all my hoses in my '89 Civic with something new. I had a pin hole appear in one and I'd just feel better with all new hoses. It has a B16A in it, so I'm sure that changes some things.

Suggestions, links and experience is welcome.

Thanks

 

just get oem hoses unless ur looking to spend 300-400 for color silicone hoses.... mishimoto hps samco... pick ur $ budget

 

Mishimoto sells replacement hose kits everything you will need is in the kit

 

$155 on Moshimoto's website.

Samco didn't have prices on their website.

HPS website escaped my google search.

Regardless, according to eBay, the pricing should all be similar.

Mishimoto kit on eBay at $108

Of course there is the eBay China-specials at $50-70.

The difference between the B16A and the OEM (D15B2) radiator hoses is basically just the top radiator hose. It is longer on the B16A due to the VTEC solenoid.

Where did you get $300-400 for a hose kit? These are all $150.

 

13 piece hose kits...? good quality radiator hoses only run about 100 bucks for the pair..

 

These are only 10 pieces, according to pictures. I guess I'll search some more on Moshimoto's website.

I just wanted the best quality brand names and some experience with them if anyone had any. I know I can go to autozone and buy generic hose or even prebent hoses. But those add up pretty quick sometimes.
