Installation notes

Yes — the K24A1 engine and AWD manual transmission from a 2002–2006 Honda CR-V (2nd generation), with the CR-V or Element rear differential, fits a 1996–2000 Honda Civic (EK) with Hasport's AWD K-series mounts on an EG/DC2 front subframe and a rear differential mount kit. Hasport's EKK kit has an EKKAWD version for K-series CR-V and Element AWD manual gearboxes but needs the EG/DC2 subframe, steering rack and lower control arms. Innovative Mounts sells a rear differential mount kit for the EK Civic that takes the Element/CR-V rear differential.

Required modifications

Engine mounts: Hasport EKK kit for the EG/DC2 subframe in its EKKAWD version (K-series CR-V and Element AWD or FWD manual transmissions), Hasport also sells an AWD K-series rear engine bracket described as 'for use with Hasport EGK2 and EKK2 mount kits' (EKK2 for the 96-00 Civic); confirm with Hasport whether your build needs the EKKAWD kit or an EKK2 kit with this bracket. Hasport says the EKK kit requires the EG Civic / DC2 Integra subframe, steering rack and lower control arms. Rear differential: Innovative Mounts AWD rear diff mount kit 103460 for the 1996-2000 Civic, for the 88-91 Wagon or Element/CR-V rear differential (rear subframe notching and rivnuts). Also needs a K-swap harness/ECU, driveshaft, viscous coupler mounting and axles.

Caution

Important caveats

  • Rear differential mounting needs the rear subframe notched and rivnuts installed (Innovative), plus a driveshaft and viscous coupler mounting.
  • The donor gearbox must be a K-series CR-V or Element AWD manual; automatic CR-Vs are far more common.
  • Neither vendor page lists axle part numbers for a K-series AWD conversion; plan custom or confirmed-fitment axles.
  • The Hasport EKK kit only works with an EG Civic / DC2 Integra front subframe, rack and lower arms.
