The EKBAWD3 provides the specialized engine and transmission mounting components required for a B-Series all-wheel-drive conversion. Specifically configured for engines equipped with a 3-bolt left-hand engine mounting bracket, this kit helps maintain proper drivetrain positioning while accommodating the unique mounting requirements of the CR-V AWD transmission.

Whether you're building a turbocharged B18, a high-revving B16, or a torque-focused B20, the Hasport EKBAWD3 provides a durable mounting foundation for street-driven and competition-oriented AWD Civic projects.

Featuring precision-engineered mounting components and performance polyurethane bushings, the EKBAWD3 is designed to reduce excessive engine movement, improve drivetrain stability, and provide dependable support during aggressive acceleration and shifting.

Designed for B-Series AWD Conversions

Converting a front-wheel-drive Honda Civic to all-wheel drive requires specialized drivetrain mounting components to accommodate the AWD transmission and transfer assembly.

The Hasport EKBAWD3 is engineered for compatible Honda B-Series engines paired with a first-generation Honda CR-V AWD manual transmission.

Its application-specific mounting system helps provide:

• Proper engine and transmission positioning.

• Support for the AWD transmission assembly.

• Reduced excessive drivetrain movement.

• Consistent engine and transmission alignment.

• A reliable mounting foundation for additional AWD conversion components.

3-Bolt Left-Hand Engine Mount Configuration

The EKBAWD3 is specifically designed for B-Series engines equipped with a 3-bolt left-hand engine mounting bracket.

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

Selecting the correct mount configuration is essential for proper installation.

The EKBAWD3 is the 3-bolt version of the Hasport EKBAWD mounting system. Builders using a 2-bolt left-hand engine mounting configuration should select the corresponding EKBAWD2 kit.

Always verify the engine's existing mounting bracket before ordering.

Performance Polyurethane Bushings

Hasport's performance polyurethane bushings help limit excessive engine and transmission movement compared with conventional factory rubber mounts.

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

The EKBAWD3 is available in multiple bushing hardness options, allowing builders to select the appropriate balance between vibration isolation and drivetrain rigidity.

Precision-Engineered Hasport Construction

Hasport develops its engine mounting systems using CAD/CAM technology to achieve accurate fitment, consistent manufacturing quality, and dependable structural strength.

The EKBAWD3 combines application-specific mounting components with durable polyurethane bushings to provide reliable drivetrain support for demanding AWD conversions.
