Transform your 1996–2000 Honda Civic into an all-wheel-drive performance build with the Hasport EKBAWD2 B-Series AWD Engine Swap Mount Kit. Designed for sixth-generation Civic applications using a compatible Honda B-Series engine and first-generation Honda CR-V AWD manual transmission, this mounting system provides the specialized drivetrain support required for an AWD conversion.

The EKBAWD2 is designed for B-Series engines equipped with a 2-bolt left-hand engine mounting bracket. Its application-specific construction accommodates the AWD transmission's unique mounting requirements while helping maintain proper engine and transmission positioning within the Civic engine bay.

Whether you're building a turbocharged B18, a naturally aspirated B16, or a high-torque B20, the Hasport EKBAWD2 provides a performance-oriented mounting foundation for your AWD Civic project.

Designed for B-Series AWD Conversions

Converting a front-wheel-drive Honda Civic to all-wheel drive requires more than simply installing an AWD transmission. The engine and transmission must be correctly positioned to accommodate the transfer assembly, front axles, driveshaft, and supporting drivetrain components.

The Hasport EKBAWD2 is designed specifically for this conversion using a compatible B-Series engine and 1997–2001 Honda CR-V AWD manual transmission.

Its mounting configuration helps provide:

• Proper engine and transmission positioning.

• Support for the AWD transmission assembly.

• Reduced excessive drivetrain movement.

• Consistent drivetrain alignment.

• A dependable foundation for additional AWD conversion components.

2-Bolt Left-Hand Engine Mount Configuration

The EKBAWD2 is intended for B-Series engines using a 2-bolt left-hand engine mount bracket.

Honda B-Series engines can use different engine-side mounting arrangements depending on their original application and installed brackets.

Selecting the correct mount kit is essential to achieving proper fitment.

Before ordering, verify the engine's left-hand mounting bracket and confirm that it uses the required 2-bolt configuration.

Performance Polyurethane Bushings

Hasport performance polyurethane bushings are designed to reduce excessive engine and transmission movement compared with conventional factory rubber mounts.

Limiting drivetrain movement can help improve engine stability during hard acceleration, aggressive shifting, and high-traction launches.

The EKBAWD2 is available with multiple bushing hardness options to accommodate street-driven vehicles and dedicated motorsport applications.
