Default del Sol B18C1 Swap Question

Ok, I just bought a b18c1 out of a salvaged '94 Integra GSR (hit in rear). I got the motor, tranny, ecu, harness, fuel pump, and all the other goodies. I also bought del Sol VTEC shift linkage. The only question is what radiator hoses do i need? I know i need a del Sol VTEC hose & Integra LS hose, but i don't know which ones i need. Which one is the top & which one is the bottom?

Thanks,
Lambert

actually you can just get the del sol VTEC hoses that were for the b16a3 versioned del sol. I am assuming you also snagged up a dual core del sol VTEC radiator for it. The single core radiator that comes with the SOHC versions isn't enough to cool that b18c for long.

ok i got it. i bought del Sol VTEC top hose and Integra LS bottom hose, they lined up perfectly. About the radiator, I have a Koyo racing raditor, so I don't think I'll have any problems.
