#192886 i have seen people use the integra radiators in civics before, but most people use the stock civic radiator... personally the stock civic radiator works just fine... but the integra one has more capacity... i have used the stock civic one and never had a problem :thumb:

#193021 if you use a civic radiator with a b series you need to get the appropriate hoses to go with your engine....
all the b swaps use the integra lower hose and the upper one depends on what engine/head you have

ls/b20 you use the ls upper hose and integra lower
b16 you use the delsol vtec upper hose and integra lower
gsr you use the gsr upper and integra lower

if you swap engines as much as i have, if you get the flex style hose for your upper one it will work with all of them... :thumb:


as far as a sohc hose lineing up with a integra radiator idk :?

#193363 if you have the b engine with both hoses on it, they will work with either radiator, if thats what you were asking :?
