Hey I am doing the B16a swap into a 88 Si Crx and I was told I would need to get new radiator hoses from a GSR... would anyone know where I would be able to get these??

my first bet would be to look for a gsr hose, on a gsr.
ok enough of me being an ass go to a salvage yard if you dont have much $
or any auto parts store/acura service department.

they're like 5-10 bucks per hose at an auto parts place...get new ones

seriously...get some new ones...they are not expensive...dont cut corners, especially on shit you can get for cheap and are readily avail.

lol sorry everyone i never thought of that... i dont know why... anyway does anyone know which rad. hoses i would need??? lower, all, etc...? thanks

You need the upper radiator hose from a 92-93 Integra GSR And then just trim it to fit and you need the lower radiator hose from a 90-91 Integra...Hope this helps...

and if that dont work i hear there is real power in the garden hoses. muahaha .damnit im sorry,would the hoses from a b16 dohc sol work also? cuz im using a sol duel core radiator and i would imagine its the same set up.same motor and the same radiator.

I had a quick questin and it is prolly a stupid one but can't I just buy the steel braided hoses from autzone and use them??? I mean they are better anyways aren't they?? Thanks

steel braided hoses? you mean the ones that have color coded ends like for drag cars? if so those are not the auctual hoses,they are heat hose covers.i have them on my car. they slide over the hose to keep the heat down.if you tried to use that coolant would leak out alsmost as soon as you turned your car on and burn up your motor.once you get the auctual hoses i would suggest getting them.its not necessary but it prolongs the life of your hoses.
