Take your fifth-generation Honda Accord K-Series conversion to the next level with the Hasport CDKAWD K-Series Engine Swap Mount Kit, designed for installing compatible Honda K20 or K24 engines with Honda CR-V or Element K-Series manual transmissions into the 1994–1997 Honda Accord chassis.

Unlike the standard CDK2, CDK4, and CDK5 mounting configurations, which accommodate different families of conventional K-Series manual transmissions, the CDKAWD is intended for compatible CR-V and Element transmission applications, including AWD-oriented builds.

This specialized mounting system provides the engine and transmission mounting foundation needed for a custom K-Series conversion while helping maintain proper drivetrain positioning within the fifth-generation Accord engine bay.

Whether you're building a naturally aspirated K24-powered Accord, a turbocharged street car, or an ambitious all-wheel-drive performance project, the Hasport CDKAWD provides a purpose-built mounting solution for your conversion.

Designed for Fifth-Generation Honda Accord K-Series Swaps

The 1994–1997 Honda Accord offers an excellent foundation for custom drivetrain conversions.

The Hasport CDKAWD allows builders to replace the original engine with a compatible Honda K-Series drivetrain using the appropriate CR-V or Element manual transmission configuration.

Key advantages include:

• Application-specific mounting for the 1994–1997 Honda Accord.

• Support for compatible Honda K20 and K24 engines.

• Designed around compatible Honda CR-V and Element K-Series manual transmissions.

• Suitable for supported FWD and AWD transmission configurations.

• Specialized drivetrain mounting geometry.

• Improved control of excessive drivetrain movement.

• Performance polyurethane bushing construction.

• A purpose-built foundation for custom street and motorsport applications.

CR-V and Element Manual Transmission Compatibility

The Hasport CDKAWD is intended for compatible Honda CR-V and Honda Element K-Series manual transmission applications.

These transmissions differ from the Acura RSX, Civic Si, Accord, and TSX transmission families used with Hasport's other CDK mounting configurations.

Selecting the correct mounting kit is essential because transmission-side mounting provisions vary between these drivetrain families.

Important: The CDKAWD mount kit does not automatically convert a front-wheel-drive Accord into an all-wheel-drive vehicle. A complete AWD conversion requires substantial additional drivetrain components and chassis fabrication.

K20 and K24 Engine Conversion Support

Honda K-Series engines are popular for their performance potential, aftermarket support, and wide range of available configurations.

The CDKAWD provides the specialized mounting arrangement needed to incorporate a compatible K-Series engine into the fifth-generation Accord chassis with the specified transmission family.

Engine-side mounting bracket requirements can vary depending on the engine block selected.

Precision-Engineered Hasport Construction

Hasport engine mounting systems are developed for application-specific drivetrain conversions.

The CDKAWD uses performance-oriented mounting components designed to maintain engine and transmission positioning during acceleration, deceleration, and shifting.

Polyurethane bushings help limit excessive drivetrain movement compared with worn or compliant factory rubber mounts.

Polyurethane Bushing Selection

Hasport offers polyurethane bushings in different hardness configurations across its engine mount product range.

Common Hasport bushing options include:

62A – Street

Designed for street-driven vehicles where minimizing vibration and maintaining everyday comfort are important.

70A – Race

Offers increased drivetrain rigidity for aggressive street driving and performance applications.

88A – Extreme Race

Provides firmer drivetrain support for competition-oriented vehicles.

94A – Most Extreme Race

Designed for dedicated motorsport applications where drivetrain rigidity takes priority over passenger comfort.

Note: Confirm which bushing hardness options are offered for the specific CDKAWD configuration before ordering. Firmer bushings generally increase noise, vibration, and harshness inside the cabin.
