Hasport has released the new mount kit for H-series and F-series engines into the CRX. The kit also includes the cable clutch conversion for the transmission and an alternator kit to use the smaller D-series alternator with the H22. Suggested retail is $749.

My thoughts exactly. $300 bucks more and you got yourself the H2B adapter kit.

Glad to see its finally out though. How is the fitment of the motor? Sits high? Sits low? what about the crossmembers? have to cut them?

I disagree, that kit has many pieces, high quality, and lots of work went into it. Also, you can find it cheaper from resellers

I would like to see a side by side, apples to apples comparision between these and the ExplicitSpeed mounts.

It's cheap when comparing it to a K swap!

 

Nobody pays retail

There's no comparing Hasport to anyone.

 

HASport mounts are the ****! I've personally used them in EF for B series swaps and they hold the engine in there! Hell, I should buy a set and throw my H22A1 in there just for kits.

HASport making a linkage adapter kit?

 

I wonder where you guys got the D series alternator bracket kit idea

I also wasn't aware F series motor mounts were the same as H

D series alternator bracket kits are old ideas. Using where the power steering goes to hold an alternator has been around for a while.

 

Interesting reading material on Hasports install guide! my EF 88-91 Civic/Crx H22A motor mount kits dont require any hitting of the firewall its close but not that close and only 1 custom axle is required not 2 and you can use the factory driverside engine bracket. But other then that install steps are similar.

 

I know its sounds like a stupid question because you guys have made an adapter for it , but a d-series alternator has enough power to for a h22.
Thats not pricey at all, like Rex said nobody pays retail now of days, we drive honda so we are broke to begin with. Only guys who drive BMW's pay retail.

 

I ran a competition stereo system off of my D series alternator 2k pure watts. Never had a problem!

 

Didn't know that Explicit Speed was local Wa. is coming up


The kits are pricy but very nice

When I saw your alternator bracket post last November I had always assumed you saw our car at the Eibach meet in May and copied us. Where's the cable conversion for your clutch?

It's where the AC goes. And you're right, when I worked in a stereo shop we mounted much larger alternators in different locations to power big systems.

Yeah, I'm kind of **** about mounting the new engine at the same angle that it rests in its original chassis. Just like I am with the clutch cable, I want the ratio of pedal movement to remain the same as it would for either a D-series cable or H-series hydro tranny.

Yes, the two alternators have similar output levels.

Exactly. The kit looks well thought out and is looks to be the cleanest way to do an H22 in a EF.

Cant wait to see some more H22 EFs hit the strip next summer!

If someone installs this kit can they please take a top view of the clutch adapter assembly.. I really want to use this part of the kit but have some space constraints in that area.

 

Now the question i have is if you were to use the H2B adapter plate w/ this kit, where would transmission line up? well that's more a question down the line i guess, would you have to re-weld your passenger side mount is what i'm wondering?

Thats exactly what I've been thinking about...

who's gonna be the first to do the h2(cable)b in an ef? or has anyone done it?? Damn if only I had the money

 

corect me if i'm wrong but the h2b kit utilizes all but one b-series mounts

This kit is not compatible with the H2B adapter. The H2B requires B-series mounts for the right and rear mounts. It also tilts the engine forward more like a B-series engine. This would put our engine side bracket at and odd angle to the mount and bracket. BTW, becuase the H22 oilpan is deeper on the front tilting it forward makes the engine taller, eating up valuable ground clearance.

We debated this kit for a couple of years before we decided to go through with it. We tried to minimize fabrication but after trrying a lot of combinations we finally said, "screw it," this is what you need to do to get the engine in and still be able to use the car on the street without worry.

If anyone finds a deal on these hasport mounts let me know, I'd love a set cuz personally I think my H22 mounts for my CRX suck....
But I just cant afford $750 for mounts when I already have some...

 

hey brian can you confirm if the fullrace traction bar clears the crank pully? if so the stock one or an aftermarket one?

 

"When I saw your alternator bracket post last November I had always assumed you saw our car at the Eibach meet in May and copied us. Where's the cable conversion for your clutch?

I never saw the car at Eibach unfortunately I am located in the NW. The Hasport H22 crx has kinda been a mystery car no one has seen it till it was in the Mag. I have been selling the kits for a while now with the D series alternator kit as an option.

I am just as **** as you guys at Hasport on getting the engine just right and maximizing ground clearance, axle positioning, and weight distribution. But we didnt need to move the firewall at all. Every Co. out there postions the engine differently.

I am curious to how much ground clearance you guys have? and how far away is the valve cover to hood. My H22 Crx is dropped so hard to compare but has 2" drop 3 1/2" ground clearance and about 1/2" between valve covers highest point and hood. I have yet to hit a bump in my car it is my daily driver and is also my weekend warrior on track and off.

H2B kit is a great kit for the track but for the street, that is another thing. I love my M2b4 jdm LSD transmission and would not give it up for 3-4 tenths when other factors could be worked on and be a streetable machine. My H22 Crx rides like it rolled off the assembly line no problems at all.

Below is a picture of the clutch cable/hydro conversion bracket which is included in the kit just wasn't pictured. Yes you need to modify your clutch fork which we do for free and takes less then 30 min.
