VTEC Academy uses Hasport EKK mounts to install the Accord K24 drivetrain while keeping the EK’s original subframe. The kit locates the engine and transmission, with different versions for each transmission family.

Installed

The published parts list specifies EKK3 for the Accord transmission; the spoken recap calls it EKK1. Select by your transmission and confirm bushing stiffness before ordering.

PRL K24Z RBC Intake Manifold Adapter

Read more

VTEC Academy uses PRL’s adapter to fit an RBC intake manifold to the Fit’s replacement K24Z engine. The machined adapter handles the port differences so the manifold can work with this engine combination.

Installed

The video uses an early TSX electronic throttle body and does not use the included throttle-body spacer. Confirm the adapter option against your own throttle body.

Brian installs a Civic Si RBC manifold on the GE Fit’s replacement engine to improve its top-end breathing. We carry the genuine Honda manifold, which needs the appropriate adapter when used on a K24Z.

Installed

The filmed manifold is sourced from an earlier Civic Si. The linked listing is a new replacement; no 75 mm port-matching option is established in the video.

The GE Fit retains Hasport’s universal K-series block bracket as the replacement engine goes together. Brian shows how its position affects pulley clearance, a useful detail when choosing the supporting parts for a K24Z swap.

Installed

Brian uses Hasport’s universal block bracket to connect Sally’s K24 to the new mount setup. Its K20 and K24 mounting positions address the change that the original K20 bracket cannot accommodate.

Installed
