Upgrade your Honda CR-Z with the Hasport ZFK3-20 K20 Engine Swap Mount Kit, a performance-engineered mounting solution designed for installing a compatible Honda K20 engine into the 2011–2016 Honda CR-Z ZF chassis using select later-generation Honda and Acura manual transmissions.

The Hasport ZFK3-20 is specifically configured for K20 engine swaps utilizing compatible manual transmissions from the 2008–2013 Honda Accord, 2009–2014 Acura TSX, and 2012–2015 Honda Civic Si.

Replacing the factory CR-Z hybrid powertrain with a K-Series engine opens the door to a wide range of performance upgrades, including naturally aspirated builds, forced induction, and dedicated motorsport applications. However, a successful conversion requires specialized mounting components to position the engine and transmission correctly within the compact CR-Z engine bay.

The ZFK3-20 provides application-specific mounting brackets and polyurethane bushings designed to support the drivetrain while maintaining the intended engine position and transmission alignment.

Designed for Later-Generation K-Series Manual Transmissions

The Hasport ZFK3-20 accommodates compatible manual transmissions from the following applications:

• 2008–2013 Honda Accord

• 2009–2014 Acura TSX

• 2012–2015 Honda Civic Si

These transmissions use different mounting configurations than earlier Acura RSX, Civic Si, Accord, and TSX transmissions.

The ZFK3-20 provides the appropriate mounting arrangement for the supported later-generation transmission family.

K20-Specific Dual-Height Mounting Design

Hasport's ZFK-series engine mount systems incorporate a dual-height design to accommodate the differences between K20 and K24 engine block heights.

The ZFK3-20 is configured for compatible K20 engines, while the corresponding ZFK3-24 is intended for compatible K24 applications.

This mounting system is designed to maintain a consistent cylinder head position between the two engine configurations, helping optimize engine placement, axle alignment, and surrounding component clearance.

The K20-specific configuration provides the intended engine height for compatible K20-powered CR-Z conversions.

Performance Polyurethane Bushings

Hasport polyurethane engine mount bushings are designed to reduce excessive drivetrain movement compared with conventional factory rubber mounts.

By limiting engine rocking during acceleration, deceleration, and gear changes, the ZFK3-20 helps maintain more consistent drivetrain positioning.

Multiple bushing hardness options allow builders to select the appropriate balance between vibration isolation and drivetrain control.

Installation Notes

1. Verify Chassis Compatibility: Confirm that the vehicle is a supported 2011–2016 Honda CR-Z ZF chassis.

2. Confirm Engine Compatibility: Identify the exact K20 engine and verify its mounting provisions.

3. Verify Transmission Compatibility: Confirm that the transmission is from a supported Accord, TSX, or Civic Si application.

4. Select the Correct Mount Configuration: The ZFK3-20 is intended for K20 engines; K24 applications require the appropriate ZFK3-24 configuration.

5. Inspect Engine-Side Brackets: Verify that all required mounting brackets and attachment points are compatible.

6. Plan the Complete Conversion: Additional components are required, including an ECU, wiring, axles, shifter components, and cooling system modifications.

7. Address the Factory Hybrid System: Properly plan for the removal or modification of the CR-Z's original hybrid powertrain and electrical components.

8. Support the Drivetrain: Use appropriate equipment to support the engine and transmission during installation.

9. Install the Mounting Components: Follow Hasport's application-specific installation instructions.

10. Verify Drivetrain Alignment: Confirm correct engine height, transmission position, and axle geometry.

11. Inspect Component Clearance: Check hood, radiator, intake, exhaust, oil pan, and surrounding chassis clearances.

12. Inspect Mounting Hardware: Use the specified hardware and replace damaged fasteners.

13. Torque All Fasteners: Follow Hasport's instructions and applicable Honda service specifications.

14. Select the Appropriate Bushings: Choose the polyurethane hardness based on intended vehicle use and acceptable vibration.

15. Inspect After Installation: Recheck mounting hardware and drivetrain clearances following the initial driving period.

Professional installation is recommended. K-Series CR-Z conversions require mechanical, electrical, and drivetrain integration work beyond the installation of engine mounts.
