Hardrace K-Series Swap Engine Mount Kit – Honda Civic EG / Integra DC2 (Q1095)

Product Overview

Performing a K20 or K24 engine conversion into a fifth-generation 1992–1995 Civic (EG/EH/EJ) or a 1994–2001 Acura/Honda Integra (DC2/DB8) delivers an incredible power-to-weight ratio. However, because the K-series engine outputs vast amounts of torque and rotates in the opposite direction (clockwise) compared to original D and B-series engines, ordinary or soft conversion mounts fail immediately under pressure. This causes severe engine rocking, torn axles, and violent front-wheel hop.

The Hardrace K-Series Swap Engine Mount Kit (Q1095) is a premium, heavy-duty structural conversion package engineered explicitly for enthusiasts running a 2003–2007 Accord / Accord Euro CL9 or 2004–2008 TSX manual transmission (K24 casing geometry) in their EG or DC2 chassis. Available at JDMaster.net, this comprehensive kit replaces your weak factory mounting layout with 5mm thick laser-cut steel drop-down brackets and CNC-machined aluminum mount bodies. Equipped with Hardrace’s signature reinforced solid rubber bushings, the Q1095 kit eliminates unwanted engine movement during aggressive track driving without creating the harsh, interior-rattling vibrations common with raw polyurethane mounts.

Key Features & Benefits

• Optimized for K24 Accord/TSX Gearboxes: Form-fitted specifically to clear and support the unique casing footprints of manual transmissions from the ’03–’07 Accord and ’04–’08 TSX.

• Reinforced Solid Rubber Bushings: Molded using high-density, anti-crack vulcanized solid rubber cores. They offer a direct, immediate throttle feel and maximum power transfer to the wheels while keeping cabin acoustics livable.

• Heavy-Duty 5mm Steel Brackets: Laser-cut and robotically welded from 5mm heavy-gauge structural steel alloy to withstand high horsepower loads, drag strip launches, and hard track downshifts.

• CNC-Machined Aluminum Mount Blocks: The primary engine and transmission blocks are precision CNC-milled from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy for an ideal balance of weight reduction and structural rigidity.

• Perfected Engine Positioning: Carefully positions the engine to maximize ground clearance for low-hanging oil pans while preserving ideal hood clearance and correct axle alignment angles.

• Industrial ED Anti-Corrosion Armor: Treated with an advanced Electrophoretic Deposition (ED) base coating to resist road salt, winter moisture, and rust.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Honda Civic (5th Gen) — 1992–1995 Hatchback / Sedan / Coupe (EG3 / EG4 / EG5 / EG6 / EH2 / EH3 / EJ1 / EJ2)

• Acura / Honda Integra (3rd Gen) — 1994–2001 3-Door Coupe (DC2 / DC4 — Including LS, GS-R, and Type R)

• Acura / Honda Integra (3rd Gen) — 1994–2001 4-Door Sedan (DB7 / DB8)

The Mechanical Advantage: Smooth Power Delivery vs. Polyurethane Harshness

In a high-torque front-wheel-drive platform like a K-swapped Civic EG or Integra, the engine twists violently backward under acceleration and forward under hard deceleration. Common aftermarket polyurethane swap mounts (rated from 75A to 95A durometer) effectively stop this engine movement, but they turn the car into an uncomfortable “paint mixer” at idle—causing severe cabin drone, vibrating dashboards, and shaking mirrors.

The Hardrace Q1095 kit balances these factors with an engineered solid-core rubber matrix. By using high-density vulcanized rubber, Hardrace limits the engine’s rotation to a tight, predictable arc during hard shifts. This locks your shift linkage lines straight and keeps your power delivered cleanly to the tarmac.

Because the rubber matrix retains natural dampening characteristics, it successfully filters out intense high-frequency engine harmonics. The result is a crisp, track-ready throttle feel with a cabin environment that remains entirely comfortable for street driving.

Swap Installation & Axle Alignment Notes

Technical Fitting Note: The Hardrace Q1095 kit is a comprehensive chassis conversion package. Due to the physical height and layout of the K24 Accord/TSX manual transmission housing, aftermarket performance swap axles designed for EG/DC K-swaps are highly recommended to ensure correct CV joint angles and prevent binding.

During installation, ensure all brackets are loosely bolted to the chassis first, drop the engine into place, and tighten the structural mounts to their final torque specs only when the engine is level and centered. If you need assistance choosing matching conversion accessories, shift linkages, or axles, contact our support team or visit the JDMaster.net workshop for full professional swap optimization.

Warranty

The warranty on Hardrace products depends on the type of product, with a minimum warranty period of 2 years. This warranty does not cover damage caused by a car crash, improper use, negligence or normal wear and tear.
