ran into a problem with the radiator
the hoses that came with (and fit on) my new motor are 1 1/4in wide. problem is, when i went to attach them to the radiator they were too big. so i measured the old hoses and they are only 1in wide. do i have any options other than buying a bigger radiator?? and if not, what radiator should i buy? it has to fit in a 96 dx coupe chassis put also fit a 98 b16b motor.

Still here... sorta...
I had that same problem when I did my swap. The hose that comes off of the GSR motor is about that much bigger than my radiator inlet (on top). I used a hose clamp (the one you tighten with a screwdriver) and it works fine. That's what www.c-speedracing.com says to do.....

のんびり～(´ε｀)
Just use hose clamps. I have to run modified GSR hoses to fit the larger openings on my PWR radiator. They're larger than the coolant necks on my engine, so I used hose clamps for those connections. Actually, I used hose clamps on all the connections for a more secure seal.

the amish guy denied the copper joint and said "the hose would fly off when im doing 100 down the parkway" hahahaha so naturally my father agreed with him and not me. But knowing my father, he loves the internet more than anyone i've ever met so i'm sure this thread will help. thanks guys
