Put a ring of jb weld around the neck if you want a normal civic radiator to match a b18 hose, or use a smaller piece of hose on the neck as an adaptor and slip the larger hose over it. Or use an si radiator, if the neck is the same diameter as the b18, which i would assume is true but not positive.
Don't overtighten the clamp to make it fit. Won't work well, if at all and you might break it.

its a hose cover, thats not the actual hose
if i were you i'd just take the coolant hose from your b18 and test fit it on the d16 radiator. i bought the car like that, but i'll find out if the guy did anything special to make it fit.

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.
