Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-CIV-88B16BK is a black silicone radiator hose kit engineered specifically for the 1988-1991 Honda Civic B16, replacing the factory rubber hoses with a dual-layer design built from high grade silicone and heat-resistant embedded fibers. This isn’t a generic cooling hose — it’s a direct, OEM replacement fit developed by Mishimoto for this exact chassis and engine combination.
Because the hose combines silicone with reinforced fibers, it delivers efficient heat reduction and increased pressure tolerance compared to stock rubber hoses, helping your cooling system handle demanding conditions without sacrificing fitment. As a Performance-grade cooling component, this Mishimoto hose kit is built for enthusiasts who want a durable, long-lasting upgrade that still bolts in exactly where the factory hose came out, rated to withstand temperatures up to 330°F. Mishimoto backs this hose kit with its Lifetime Warranty, and it’s also offered in blue and red for those who want to match this Cooling upgrade to their engine bay color scheme.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto silicone radiator hose kit is a specific fit — not a universal hose — designed for the Honda Civic B16-equipped chassis of that era. It covers the 1988-1991 Honda Civic Base, DX, and LX trims, as well as the 1988-1991 Civic RT 4WD. The 1990-1991 Civic EX and the 1989-1991 Civic Si are also covered, along with the 1988-1989 Civic Wagovan. If your Civic falls within these model years and trims, this hose kit is engineered to install as a direct OEM replacement.
