So I have the upper radiator hose from a 94 LS and the lower radiator hose from a 94 DelSol Vtec. The lower radiator hose isn't fitting on the thermostat housing. :? Help?

a 94 del sol vtec is a D16 which uses smaller radiator hoses than a LS.

Delsol S = d15b7/d16y7
Delsol Si = d16z6/d16y8
Delsol VTEC = b16a3/b16a2

I have interchanged B and D Coolant Lines.

oops.


dont B16's have slightly smaller hose than B18's anyway? (feel like i just read this when researching for my radiator) and i know for sure D series have smaller.

but like chrono said, they CAN be swapped between and stretched on if really necessary..

OP, just have someone hold your purse then take a crack at getting it on there :lol: :P :lol: j/k

Haha I'll try again after class. I got it to start going onto the housing but it wouldn't go down all the way... does't seem safe to me. :eh:
