Күн бұрынCivic EK K Swap Mount Kits Explained: EKK1, EKK3, EKK6 and EKK1AWD
By Brian Gillespie and Aaron Gaghagen
A K swap into a Civic 6th gen is a no-brainer. It's pretty much a bolt-in affair with the available aftermarket support for the car. There are things that you must get right to get the swap to mount correctly the first time. Brian walks us through all the differences between the main 4 swap mount kits of the EK Civic from Hasport Performance. You know, his day job!

this is definitely very informative. Ive got an 95 lx sedan thats in pretty nice shape and ive been wanting to put something a little meaner in it. i was under the impression that there would be a lot more fab work involved with the subframe and original mounting holes but apparently its much easier then i expected.

For the k24z3 engine, can a person use the k24z1 timing cover for standard crank sensor? Ive noticed that timing cover accepts the traditional crank sensor even though it's a k24z series. Which would be a junkyard option rather than custom order.

Yes. The side mounts are on the engine and the rear mount is on the frame. That’s why you use lower hole on the side brackets and top hole on the rear.

Why do ppl complain about the axles having a weird angle w these kits
@VTECAcademy Жыл бұрын
On the EKK1 kit the engine sits pretty far forward. That why Hasport also makes an EKK2 kit that uses the EG/DC2 subframe and lets you move the engine back, improving the axle angle.
