Detailed Product Overview
The kit is the result of advanced engineering techniques, including the use of sophisticated CAD/CAM software, to ensure a precise fit and reliable performance. It employs a bolt-in design that simplifies the engine swap while prioritizing durability and versatility across a range of applications—from daily driving to high-performance racing.
Precision Engineering: Each component is modeled and engineered to exact tolerances, ensuring proper engine placement and maintaining critical alignments such as axle alignment.
Material Quality: High-quality materials are used, including solid billet aluminum (6061) for extreme applications, offering a balance between rigidity and vibration absorption.
Lifetime Warranty: Backed by Hasport’s confidence in its design, the kit comes with a lifetime warranty for long-term reliability.
Engine and Vehicle Compatibility
Vehicle: Exclusively designed for 1996–2000 Honda Civics, covering sedans, coupes, and hatchbacks.
Engine: Built specifically for Honda’s J-Series V6 engines, such as the J30A (approximately 200–225 hp) and J35A (approximately 240–260 hp), commonly sourced from models like the Acura TL and Honda Accord.
Transmission: Generally compatible with transmissions from 2003–2007 Honda Accords or 2004–2008 Acura TLs. It is essential to confirm that your specific transmission is compatible, as configurations (manual vs. automatic) may require further modifications.
Mounting and Bushing Options
Height Adjustment Options:
Non-Adjustable Mounts: Provide a standard configuration suitable for most engine swaps.
Dual Height Mounts: Offer flexibility in engine placement, allowing adjustments based on transmission type, exhaust clearance, or ground clearance requirements.
Bushing Stiffness Options:
62A (Street): A softer option for everyday driving that helps reduce vibrations.
70A (Race): A balanced option suitable for mixed street and track use.
88A & 94A: Higher durometer options for racing applications, minimizing engine movement at the expense of a firmer ride.
6061 (Solid Billet Aluminum): Designed for extreme performance environments where minimal engine deflection is critical.

Understanding the J-Series Engine Swap
Performance Upgrade: Swapping a J-Series V6 into a Civic delivers a significant boost in power compared to the stock four-cylinder engine, transforming the vehicle’s performance.
Engineering Challenges: The conversion involves accommodating a larger engine in a compact engine bay, requiring precise modifications for proper fitment and alignment.
System Integration: Beyond the mount itself, the swap demands careful integration of ancillary systems such as the ECU, exhaust, cooling, and transmission linkage.
Installation and Alignment
Bolt-In Procedure: The kit is designed for a straightforward bolt-in installation, though additional modifications may be necessary given the inherent complexities of the swap.
Clearance and Fitment: Pay attention to potential clearance issues, especially when using the dual height option. Adjustments may be required for the exhaust system, cooling components, or other engine bay accessories.
Torque Specifications and Community Insights: While the kit simplifies many aspects of installation, some users have noted the absence of detailed torque specifications. It is advisable to consult Hasport directly or seek guidance from experienced community members.
Real-World Application
Customization: The variety of height adjustments and bushing stiffness options allows for tailored installations, whether prioritizing ride comfort or high-performance racing.
Reliability: The lifetime warranty underscores the kit’s durability and long-term reliability, with many users reporting positive experiences under both daily driving and extreme conditions.
Potential Challenges
Technical Expertise: Although the kit is designed to simplify the engine swap, the project remains technically demanding. Buyers should be prepared for a learning curve or consider professional assistance.
Compatibility Verification: Due to the varying specifications of Honda Civics and J-Series engine variants, thorough verification of component compatibility is essential before purchasing.
