whos got what? again, this is for a k20a2 goin into an em2...

some dudes in my auto class were talkin about the hasport mounts, and how they dont line up perfectly with the pre-drilled holes on the engine compartment...

someone mentioned hybrid racing motor mounts, and that those were a much better fit...

so for those of you who drive a k20a2-em2...what are you using?

Hasport is the only company that makes mounts for a K series into a 2001+ civic And mine lined up perfect even with a k24

 

Don't know much about HybridRacing but I'm using the Hasport Mounts for my 01 coupster...

 

did you have to drill any additonal holes? or was the fit pretty much on the money?

 

any vibrations with those hasport mounts? someone was sayin that the car felt like a damn vibrator with the hasport mounts...

i know that could be a mistake on their part, but i wanna know if you have experienced any of that...

thanks for the feedback

 

Hybrid mounts have more vibrations based on my friends' k20a dc2.

Regardless I'm pretty sure Hybrid still hasn't developed the 01-05 civic mounts yet.

I've had the Hasport mounts since my swap in 2004 and never had a problem with them daily driven even in the winter months.

There are going to be vibrations. Its the price you pay for power. You want the mounts to be pretty solid. Its race car **** man.

 

true, vibrations are a given....thanks dudes

 

When your ready t buy mounts PM me.

the reason they didnt line up is cuz they didnt have the subframe!! duhh

now they make mounts where u dont need to subframe

 

With the new hasport mounts you dont need a subframe nemore????

When did Hasport release that version of the mounts?

 

alright ill let you know...still gotta lil more research to do before i decide to launch this project...

thanks again to everyone

 

Hasport mounts are the better option, simply due to their experiences with the swapping community. I run Hasport mounts on my K24.

 

ok...so....do i need the rsx subframe or not?!

cuz i understood that i did, but now it turns out that hasports can eliminate the subframe?

Yes, you'll need the RSX sub-frame.

 

It was on the money ,although as far as the vibration yes I do get that alot but I believe that's a given. Who the hell am I to complain about the vibration, I'll pick vibration any day given that I now have 200 hp and 6 gears LOL!

 

What exactly is the subframe? Is that the part that attatches the mounts?

 

I wish there was a way I could get softer mounts I really dont like the vibration but what can you do.

It sits underneath the engine and bolts up to the frame of the car.
The lower engine mounts attach to the subframe.

Softer mounts would break. The vibrations aren't "that" bad. I've been in other modded cars that have much worse vibrations.

the subframe you need to get from the rsx by the way

 

Wow thanks for clearing that up lol. Now i know what to look for when buying my k20a2.Thanks guys...damn lol

 

however long youve been doin research for...is not long enough dude...

ive been doin hw for close to a month now, and im still learnin things i need to know for my swap...

its nothin to jump into

 

if you girls are worried about the vibrations, use two of the hasport mounts and use the OEM REAR MOUNT instead of the HASPORT rear mount. That will cut down the vibration tremendously. I used the OEM rear mount and my car vibrates a little only. Only vibrates upon warm up and once it warms up, you can hardly notice it.
