Hasport Performance J-Series Engine Mount Kit (96-00 Civic)

Hasport EKJ Mount Kit - J-Series V6 Swap into 96-00 Honda Civic (EK)

The Hasport EKJ mount kit is the go-to solution for swapping a Honda/Acura J-Series V6 engine into a 1996-2000 Honda Civic (EK chassis). Whether you are building a street sleeper or an all-out race car, this kit gives you a solid, properly aligned foundation for one of the most popular V6 swap combinations in the Honda community. Fits EK Civic sedan, coupe, and hatchback bodies.

What This Kit Does

This mount kit repositions and secures a J-Series V6 (J30A, J32A, J35A) inside the EK Civic engine bay. The brackets are robotically welded and laser-cut from steel for consistent geometry every time. Engine placement is engineered to maintain correct axle alignment, which is critical on a swap this size - get it wrong and you are fighting CV angles and vibration for the life of the build.

EKJ1 vs. EKJ2 - Which Kit Do You Need?

• EKJ1 (Non-Adjustable): Fixed engine height. Works with the stock EK front subframe and suspension. This is the straightforward choice for most builds where exhaust clearance and hood clearance are not a concern.
• EKJ2 (Dual Height): Two mounting positions let you raise or lower the engine to dial in exhaust routing, transmission clearance, or hood fitment. Requires a 1992-1995 Honda Civic (EG) front subframe and suspension. If you are running a J-Series with an Accord or Acura TL transmission and need extra clearance, this is the version to get.

Note on EKJ2: The dual height kit requires swapping in a 92-95 Civic (EG) front subframe and suspension. This is not a bolt-in subframe swap - plan this into your build timeline and budget before ordering.

Bushing Durometer Guide - Pick the Right Hardness for Your Build

All polyurethane bushing options are included in the base kit price at your chosen durometer. Solid billet aluminum is available for full race applications only.

Not sure which durometer to pick? As a general rule: if the car sees any street miles, stay at 62A or below. If it is a dedicated race or drag car, 88A, 94A, or solid aluminum are the correct choices.
