Hi guys,
I have been in 2 K swapped cars (K20A CRX and K24/20 EG).
Both used hasport mounts, but the cars vibrated so bad that the dash was shaking at idle.
Anyway, is it possible to do a K swap but keep a "factory" feel without too many vibrations?
Thanks
Hasport mounts use solid bushes to mount the motor unlike factory mounts. The k swapped dc2 I went in had no shaking at idle or even though the rev range
When ordering hasport mounts you can order different "shores" in the mounts. I think 70a being the softest. These would be what you'd want
I am not doing a conversion, I was just wondering out of curiosity.
So, the softest mounts will offer a factory type of smoothness?
Is a K20 a smooth engine?
this is your 2nd kswap thread.
Civic + K20 swap = Stupid?
fingers are crossed that u will bite the bullet and make that bold and crazi decision.

No, not possible, even with softest mounts
This. The other guy has no idea. Hasport mounts WILL VIBRATE. Its really not that bad man. and also the softest i believe is 62A. I have 62A in my DC5.Quote:

I noticed with k20a vibrates alot more over a stock k24. K24 engines runs balance shafts in there oil pump which helps eliminate vibration from the engine hence a smoother idle/low end rpms. In our K24 DC2 road car you dont even notice it has a k24, idles nicely and drives like any other motor of course the tune has to be good to get that smoothness.
no doubt because it comes from purely a passenger car (IE comfort is essential) !Quote:

That now means. The k20 CRX would of meant the black gen2. CRX
So a K20 doesn't have a balance shaft, just the K24?
Snop-Gee, I will admit it is extremely tempting and I would love a K20 EK or EM1, but not for a combined total of something like an Evo 6 TME.
byp boys have an engine package for 8k, i dunno how much more simple it can get its not as expensive as they make it out to be.
its a life changing experience to be owning, driving and even taking passengers.Quote:

im running solid billet filled hasport mounts and my car doesnt even vibrate at idle. Maybe cause idle is set at 900? and yeah its a k24
anyone with aircon? vibrates like a MOTHER FUKER when the condenser kicks in at idle.
Most guys dont run a/c! I like K-swap with all the luxuriesQuote:

this is probably why, i have no luxuriesQuote:

anythnig can be done.
p/s is easy, just use an electric p/s pump out of an Astra, or an MR2
A/C is also easy, just gotta make a custom bracket and get custom lines made.
if u want p/s on a del sol u will need to notch the bonnet like hassy did.Quote:
