Hasport EKK2 K-Series Engine Mount Kit for Honda Civic EK 1996-2000

The Hasport EKK2 engine mount kit is a purpose-designed solution for installing a Honda K20 or K24 K-Series engine into a 1996-2000 Honda Civic EK when using an EG Civic or DC2 Integra front subframe conversion.

For Honda enthusiasts building a K-swapped Civic EK, engine position, drivetrain movement and component clearance are critical. The Hasport EKK2 system has been engineered to locate the K-Series drivetrain correctly while providing the strength and control required by anything from a UK road car to a serious competition build.

The EKK2 is specifically intended for installations using RSX/DC5-type and 2002-2011 Civic Si K-Series manual transmissions.

Why Choose the Hasport EKK2?

One of the main advantages of the EKK2 configuration is its use of the earlier EG Civic/DC2 Integra front subframe architecture.

Using the EG/DC2 subframe, steering rack and lower control arms allows Hasport to optimise drivetrain positioning for:

• Axle alignment
• Ground clearance
• Bonnet clearance
• Engine bay packaging
• Radiator clearance
• Intake and exhaust clearance
• Performance and motorsport applications

This makes the EKK2 a popular choice for serious Honda Civic EK K20 and K24 conversions.

Five Mount Stiffness Options

This WooCommerce product is available in five different Hasport specifications, allowing customers to select the correct mount for their road, track or drag application.

HAS-EKK2-62A – Street Urethane

62A Street is Hasport’s most road-oriented polyurethane option.

Designed to offer increased drivetrain control while minimising additional noise, vibration and harshness compared with the harder options.

Best suited to:

• Daily-driven K-swapped Civics
• Weekend road cars
• Fast-road builds
• Naturally aspirated K20/K24 conversions
• Customers prioritising road usability

SKU: HAS-EKK2-62A

HAS-EKK2-70A – Race Urethane

70A Race provides greater engine and gearbox control than 62A and is aimed at higher-performance road and circuit applications.

Hasport describes 70A as suitable for serious road-racing use and occasional drag racing where increased drivetrain movement control is required.

Best suited to:

• Track-day cars
• Fast-road/track builds
• High-performance naturally aspirated builds
• Turbocharged applications
• Occasional drag use

Expect more vibration to be transmitted into the chassis than with 62A.

SKU: HAS-EKK2-70A

HAS-EKK2-88A – Extreme Race Urethane

The 88A Extreme Race specification significantly reduces drivetrain movement.

It is intended for competition-focused applications where controlling engine movement and transferring power effectively are more important than cabin refinement.

Best suited to:

• Drag racing
• High-power turbo K-Series builds
• Competition cars
• Hard launches
• Vehicles using performance tyres or slicks

The 88A specification will create considerably more noise and vibration inside the vehicle than the 62A or 70A mounts.

SKU: HAS-EKK2-88A

HAS-EKK2-94A – Most Extreme Race Urethane

94A Most Extreme Race is Hasport’s stiffest polyurethane option before moving to a solid mount arrangement.

It provides extremely limited drivetrain movement and is aimed primarily at dedicated motorsport builds.

Best suited to:

• Dedicated race vehicles
• Serious drag cars
• Very high-power K-Series builds
• Motorsport applications where drivetrain control takes priority over comfort

This option is not recommended for customers seeking factory-like road refinement.

SKU: HAS-EKK2-94A

HAS-EKK2-6061 – Solid 6061 Aluminium Inserts

The 6061 version uses solid 6061 aluminium inserts instead of polyurethane.

This is the most rigid option offered within these five variants and effectively eliminates the isolation normally provided by urethane mount bushings.

Best suited to:

• Dedicated drag cars
• Competition-only applications
• Extreme-power builds
• Vehicles where maximum drivetrain location is required

Important: Solid mounts can transmit very substantial engine vibration and harmonics directly into the chassis. This specification should therefore be selected for specialist motorsport use rather than normal road use.

SKU: HAS-EKK2-6061

Quick Variant Comparison

Which Hasport EKK2 stiffness should I choose?

For the majority of road-driven UK Civic EK K-swaps, the 62A Street version will generally be the most appropriate starting point.

Choose 70A where greater drivetrain control is required for track or performance use.

The 88A, 94A and solid 6061 variants are progressively more competition-focused and should only be selected where increased vibration and harshness are acceptable.

K20 and K24 Engine Compatibility

The Hasport EKK system is designed around Honda’s K-Series engine family, including K20 and K24 installations.

Potential K-Series applications include engines from families such as:

• Honda K20
• Honda K24
• K20A-series
• K20Z-series
• K24A-series
• Other compatible K-Series installations

However, the exact engine code alone does not guarantee a complete bolt-in conversion.

Compatibility can depend on:

• Engine block
• Transmission
• Engine-side bracket
• Intermediate shaft
• Driveshafts
• Shifter system
• Exhaust manifold
• Intake system
• Wiring
• ECU
• Cooling system
• Power-steering configuration

Some K24 variants can require different or additional engine-side brackets.

Customers should therefore verify their exact engine and gearbox combination before ordering.

Transmission Compatibility

The EKK2 version of Hasport’s EK K-Series mount system is specified for:

• RSX/DC5-type K-Series manual transmissions
• 2002-2011 Civic Si-type K-Series manual transmissions

This distinction is important because Hasport produces other EKK variations for different gearbox families.

For example, EKK4, EKK5 and EKKAWD systems exist for other transmission configurations.

Therefore, do not purchase EKK2 solely because the vehicle is a Civic EK with a K-Series engine.

The transmission must also be compatible with the EKK2 configuration.

EG Civic / DC2 Integra Subframe Required

This is one of the most important fitting requirements.

EKK2 requires:

• 1992-1995 Civic EG-compatible front subframe
  or
• Integra DC2-compatible front subframe

Together with the appropriate:

• EG/DC2 steering rack
• EG/DC2 front lower control arms

EKK2 does NOT use the standard EK subframe configuration.

If your Civic EK is retaining its factory EK front subframe, this is not the correct Hasport mounting configuration.

Built for Performance Honda Conversions

A properly mounted drivetrain is particularly important in high-performance K-swapped vehicles.

Reducing excess drivetrain movement can help provide:

• More consistent power delivery
• Better gearshift feel
• Reduced engine movement during acceleration
• Better drivetrain location during hard launches
• More controlled engine movement under braking and cornering
• Improved clearance consistency around exhaust and intake components

The correct mount stiffness should always be selected according to the intended vehicle use.

A dedicated drag car has very different requirements from a Civic driven regularly on UK roads.

Additional Parts Normally Required for a K-Swap

The EKK2 is an engine mounting solution, not a complete K-Series conversion package.

Depending on your build, additional components can include:

• K-Series engine
• Compatible manual transmission
• Conversion driveshafts
• Intermediate shaft
• Gear shifter and cables
• Wiring conversion
• ECU or compatible engine management
• Fuel-system components
• Exhaust manifold/header
• Intake system
• Cooling-system components
• Radiator hoses
• Clutch and flywheel
• Conversion brackets
• Suitable suspension and braking upgrades

Always plan the complete conversion before purchasing individual K-swap components.
