- 8th Gen R18 to K Series Part 2: Building a proper mount kit
By Aaron Gaghagen and Brian Gillespie
OK, last time we hung the K20R swap in the engine bay of our base model 8th gen Civic coupe using mounts that Hasport already makes for the hot boi Si. But, there are special provisions that needed to be made for use with the hydraulic power steering of the non-Si models as well as some differences in the passenger side connections. So, Brian busts out his modeling software to make things just right.
Before you ask, yes Hasport will be making swap mounts for the 2006-2011 R18 chassis. They will be out some time in October 2021. For more information stay tuned to part 3 and 4 of this series.

Bc of the 8th gen SI’s value going up, I think this route might harbor people’s interest.
Exactly, plus you can save weight without all the Si stuff.
I saved for SO long to get a set of Hasport mounts for my fully built LSVTEC turbo in my EJ8 Civic coupe (that makes 709 whp) and I am so happy with my purchase. I had Innovative mounts, I had a custom brand, and it just vibrated and sounded like crap. As soon as I got the Hasport mounts it sounded and ran so much better. Absolutely NO vibration and the engine stays right where it's supposed to. Seriously, if anyone out there is building a Honda, you owe it to yourself to spend the extra cash and get a set of Hasport mounts for whatever you're project is.
That's what they strive for. Your Civic sounds rad!
Yeah baby! Finally R18 civic is getting the love for it. Can't wait for the motor mounts to buy.
Exactly, avoid the Si tax, but make as much or more power. 👍🏽
Very cool, I would love to see the 8th gen base models see the same potential as the EG/EK base models had.
Hasport for the win!
Hasport is alright, we guess! LOL
Nice vid. looks like it fits great, heaps of ground clearance too.. Yeah dropping the car onto the engine is the go... the camera shot from above is cool!
Thanks! Just like they meant to fit the K too.
Just in time! TAKE MY MONEY!!!!
Well, if you insist...
@@VTECAcademy how much do you think this would actually cost
@@avie1679 Tough to say. The swap may be anywhere from $2500 to $4500. Then the other needed parts are less than $1400. You may be able to get the swap for even less if you find the right seller parting out a wrecked 06 Si.
Hasport leading the way! Great content as always.
Thanks for watching!
I can’t wait. You guys do great work!
Looking forward to the next episode, I was going to buy a 5speed Acura csx and k24 swap it but I will wait for the developments with the kit
Thanks for watching! The K series instantly makes this generation Civic feel so much better.
@@VTECAcademy the csx uses a k20z2, 160hp and either a 5speed auto or manual. feels almost slower than a r18 civic. same subframe as the malaysian/asian fd civics
Thank you for the content!
Thank you! We love this Honda $#it!
Thank you... I'm getting schooled. I'm almost ready to do a k20/24 swap on FG2 by way of the top of the engine bay. 😂
Nice!!
Great content
Thank you for watching! We appreciate the support.
Off topic but I've always wanted to swap an R18 into 5th/6th Gen Civic for a daily driver. I feel it would provide better power and maybe be able to get better fuel economy than a D series.
Intriguing 🤔.
R18 is awesome, it’s like B18 power but with better MPG than a D15z6
Here’s a swap someone done
R18 into EG

Welp guys the kit is actually for sale on the website its under fg chassis this will be a buget kswap considering fg's are fairly cheap
Hell yes, nice one guys 👌
They should make type r swap mounts for 9th gen civic also
First, Hasport has to buy a car
So basically 06 si mounts and subframe with harness then electric power steering to make it work
Now that K20c1 5 door Type r is 5 is out I might have to forget about this swap… only problem is then needing 4 to 5 seater swap.
new subscriber here!!🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Thanks for subbing!
🔥🔥🔥
Straight fiyah! LOL Thanks for watching!
It was worth the wait ! 😘So the kit is already available fg1stk?
The FG1STK is available. The FG1K will be soon.
The FD2 typ r in Japan has hydrilic power steering I'm sure if you used the high pressure line from that car it should be easy to get the hybrid power steering working with this swap, here is the pn 53713-SNW-023
It is probably too short since those cars are right-hand drive with puts the valve body near the same side as the pump. But this is good to know. That ECU will have at PS pressure switch input. I'll need to find out where it is and see if it is dormant US ECU.
@@VTECAcademy your right I didn't think of that, probably wouldn't be hard to make a custom line. The eps unit has an output that goes to the ECU just like the ps pressure switch so I assume they would send the same information, compare how the pnf ecu is wired to the pnd or prb
Love it
Thanks!
@@VTECAcademy thanks for your hard work
🙏
Did the side bracket brace form the r18 fit the Hasport right engine mount ?
do you guys ship to canada? need these asap lol
Try one of Hasport’s Canadian distributors to see if they have it in stock, otherwise it’s about 4 weeks back ordered right now.
Will this be the same as the 9th gen civics
Good question. When we get one we will know.
Is your shop in AZ?
Are you guys selling the custom R18 to kswap mounts ?
Great vid, may I ask what it takes to convert from hydro to electric power steering - is that easy? Also, what happens if the donor for the K24 is a TSX with a steel pan? Will this rear mount fit to the mount location on a steel pan?
It would require the rack, the EPS brain, and a bunch of wiring.
@@VTECAcademy , that would be a great thing to see as a video showing this process - do you plan to show such thing in the future? Is it safe to say that electric is better than hydraulic compared to parasitic losses, therefor better option for a tuned car? Is wiring separate harness that is plug-n-play or what you call a "bunch of wiring" is a lot more involved? Regarding the rear mount, what I see is the mount is the same for early and late model TSX, which must mean that in your kit the rear mount is the same too - but would be happy to read it for the piece of mind.
Is there a time frame for the release for this mounts looking forward to buying them
That would be a Brian question. It’s definitely coming though.
Are these mounts out yet for purchase?
@@jeromecaliva6231 Hasport will have them soon.
Has hasport came out with these mounts yet? I’m in the process of building mine.
What happen to the 2nd gen civic j swap?
It's waiting for me to start again.
Vtec academy will you do the same for 9th gen mounts soon 2 I want to k swap my auto 9th gen
As soon as I can find a 9th gen.
It sounds dirty when he says "bolt hole"
🇵🇷✌🏻🤟🏻✊🏻🇺🇸 🌎
Where do i buy that mounts like that?
Hasport Performance.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Hey guys I’m a new subscriber I have a different issue than what you have solved my question is I have a 2008 civic si coupe MT Engine trans stolen my LITTLE SISTER needs a car I have a full donor 2007 civic ex auto REAR DAMAGE could I just switch the subframe and whole engine would the car work? Please help
Yes, but there aren't mounts made for that swap. You'd have to make them. You could modify some stock mounts to work. The passenger side mount would be the more difficult one. The wiring would pose a problem. Power steering is electronic on the Si so you would either need to change the rack with the subframe or make an idler pulley for the engine. Then you'd have to have Honda reprogram the ECU to work with the Si chassis.
Hi ;)
Can you confirm to me that the future Fg1k kit is also adaptable on eudm Civic Fn1?
Thank's
To be able to tell I would need the part numbers from the stock engine mounts on the FN1. It might be, but the FN1 might be more similar to the US CRZ than the US Civic.
@@VTECAcademy Thanks, I'll watch this.
Here, the Fn1 has the same chassis as an Fn2 but with an r18a2.
@@Turkish33140 If there are some online parts available from some UK or Euro dealers with drawings of the mounts, send me a link. I'll review and give you my best guess as to compatibility.
Next episode?
It's coming.
Any updates
Coming soon.
Any chance of these being made to work with different transmissions? Those Si transmissions can be a bit of a doozy to find at a reasonable price.
With this mount kit you can also use the RSX, EP3, 08-13 Accord, 09-14 TSX, 12-15 Civic Si transmissions. The RSX and EP3 wound need a different shifter, the others would need a different bracket on top of the transmission to hold the cables.
