Engine VIN plate, hoses for aftermarket radiators?

[Tegsticle]

I bought my car with a b18 engine swap i know its an obd2 because of the intake sensor on top and no oil catch can, but if its obd2 should it not have an engine vin plate? where is it located?

oh and i have a dual core aftermarket radiator and i had to modify my obx hose's to fit, the front one just had to be cut but the lower one was a pain to get on, any suggestions as to hose's that have a good fit with a thicker aftermarket radiator?

the vin plate should be right on front of the engine block

Not all blocks have a VIN riveted to the block. Neither of my motors do.

If you do have one, its going to be on the bottom edge near the oil pan.

Your stock hoses should fit just fine, unless its the wrong radiator for the car.

Exactly. I would suggest checking out the Mishimoto Silicone hoses, but if the radiator is not "right" for the car, then, customizing will have to be done.

I'm pretty sure it's the right radiator everything lined up with my stock rad, just bigger, the top hose fits fine with a little cut it's the lower one, it does not seem long enough, i mean it fits and is on their i just barley though.
