Bring K-Series performance to your 7th-generation Civic with the Hasport ESK3 K-Series Engine Swap Mount Kit. Designed specifically for 2001–2005 Honda Civic non-Si models, the ESK3 provides the mounting solution needed to install a Honda K20 or K24 engine with an Acura RSX or 2002–2011 Civic Si-style manual transmission.
Hasport designed the ESK3 to position the K-Series drivetrain in the same general location as the factory EP3 Civic Si drivetrain, helping provide proper engine placement and axle alignment. The kit can be used with Civics that originally came with either a manual or automatic transmission, making it a versatile choice for K-swapping an EM2/ES Civic.
Installation requires an Acura RSX or 2002–2005 Civic Si (EP3) front subframe. With the correct subframe and supporting swap components, the ESK3 provides a purpose-built mounting foundation without relying on improvised factory mount combinations.

Bushing Options
- U62A – Street: Most street-friendly polyurethane option with less vibration transferred into the chassis
- U70A – Race: Firmer option for aggressive street and occasional track use
- U88A – Extreme Race: Very stiff option intended primarily for dedicated performance applications
- U94A – Most Extreme Race: Maximum polyurethane stiffness for serious competition builds
Higher-durometer bushings provide greater control over engine movement but also increase noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) inside the vehicle.
