Product Details
Transform your Honda CR-Z into a K24-powered performance machine with the Hasport ZFK3-24 K-Series Engine Swap Mount Kit, designed for installing a compatible Honda K24 engine into the 2011–2016 Honda CR-Z ZF chassis using select later-generation Honda Accord, Acura TSX, or Honda Civic Si manual transmissions.
The Hasport ZFK3-24 provides a specialized mounting solution for enthusiasts replacing the factory 1.5L hybrid powertrain with Honda's larger-displacement 2.4L K-Series engine. Featuring application-specific mounting brackets, performance polyurethane bushings, and Hasport's dual-height engine mounting system, this kit helps position and support the K24 drivetrain within the CR-Z engine bay.
The Honda CR-Z's compact chassis and responsive handling make it an appealing platform for K-Series engine conversions. Installing a K24 engine provides increased displacement and torque potential while opening the door to a wide selection of naturally aspirated and forced-induction performance upgrades.
However, fitting a K24 engine into the CR-Z requires specialized mounting components that accommodate the taller engine block, transmission mounting configuration, axle alignment, and surrounding engine bay clearances.
The Hasport ZFK3-24 addresses these challenges with a purpose-built mounting system designed specifically for compatible K24 engines paired with later-generation K-Series manual transmissions.
Designed for Later-Generation Accord, TSX, and Civic Si Manual Transmissions
The ZFK3-24 is designed for compatible manual transmissions originally found in:
2008–2013 Honda Accord 2.4L
2009–2014 Acura TSX 2.4L
2012–2015 Honda Civic Si 2.4L
These transmissions use mounting configurations that differ from earlier Acura RSX, Civic Si, Accord, and TSX applications.
The ZFK3-24 provides the appropriate mounting arrangement for the supported later-generation transmission family.
Selecting the correct Hasport ZFK-series mount kit is essential because transmission case design and mounting configuration determine the required transmission-side mounting components.
K24-Specific Dual-Height Mounting Design
One of the key features of the Hasport ZFK3-24 is its dual-height engine mounting system.
Honda K24 engines feature taller engine blocks than K20 engines. This difference affects cylinder head height, hood clearance, and the positioning of intake and exhaust components.
Hasport's dual-height mounting system is designed to maintain a consistent cylinder head position between corresponding K20 and K24 configurations.
The ZFK3-24 uses the K24-specific mounting arrangement to help provide:
Proper K24 engine positioning within the CR-Z engine bay.
Consistent cylinder head placement relative to the corresponding K20 configuration.
Appropriate drivetrain and axle alignment.
Improved consideration for hood and ground clearance.
More predictable intake manifold and exhaust header positioning.
Additional flexibility when planning custom turbocharger systems.
This makes the ZFK3-24 a purpose-built mounting foundation for K24-powered Honda CR-Z performance builds.
Precision-Engineered Construction
Hasport develops its engine mounting systems using CAD/CAM technology to optimize component fitment, mounting strength, and drivetrain positioning.
The ZFK3-24 incorporates precision-manufactured mounting components and application-specific brackets engineered for the Honda CR-Z chassis.
These components provide dependable drivetrain support for street performance, autocross, road racing, and drag racing applications.
Performance Polyurethane Bushings
The Hasport ZFK3-24 utilizes performance polyurethane bushings designed to reduce excessive engine and transmission movement.
Compared with conventional factory rubber mounts, polyurethane bushings provide increased resistance to drivetrain movement during acceleration, deceleration, and gear changes.
This helps maintain more consistent engine positioning, improves drivetrain stability, and can reduce movement that contributes to wheel hop.
Hasport offers multiple bushing hardness options, allowing builders to select the appropriate balance between vibration isolation and drivetrain rigidity.
