The K20 and K24 both need more room between the axle and the chassis than the EF gives them, and the factory radius rod sits right in the middle of that fight. The Hasport EFKROD is the clearance part for a K-swap in the 1988-1991 Civic and CRX: a radius rod shaped to clear the wider K-series block while you keep the factory front crossmember.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat It Is and Why It Works\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHasport designed the EFKROD to work alongside its EF K-swap mount kit, and because the rod works with the stock crossmember, you skip the cutting and fabricating that EF K-swaps would otherwise need in this corner of the car. Bolt it in and the axle-to-chassis clearance problem is solved before the engine ever goes on the hoist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat's the whole value: it turns a fabrication problem into a bolt-on. The K-series block and axle want to occupy space the EF chassis didn't leave for them, and rather than cutting and welding to make room, you fit a radius rod shaped to clear the block and the problem is handled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eA Supporting Part, Not a Mount Kit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant to understand so you plan the build correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EFKROD is a \u003cstrong\u003eclearance part, not a mount kit\u003c\/strong\u003e, it solves the radius-rod clearance issue, but it's one piece of a full K-swap. Plan the rest of the swap around it: you'll still need the matching \u003cstrong\u003eHasport EF K-swap mount kit\u003c\/strong\u003e, K-swap axles, a conversion harness, shifter cables and a shifter box, and a tuned K-series ECU. If you're pricing out the build, order the rod together with the mount kit so the front of the car goes together in one shot rather than waiting on one small bracket-sized box to arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere's no ride-quality trade-off to weigh here, it's clearance hardware, and it's one of the least expensive pieces of the entire swap. Skipping it and hoping the axle and block clear the chassis is how EF K-swap projects end up stalled on jack stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eEF-Specific\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis rod is for the EF chassis specifically. EG Civic and DC2 Integra K-swaps use different clearance parts, so buy this only for the 1988-1991 Civic and CRX, matched to the Hasport EF K-swap mounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePart number: EFKROD (SKU HAS-EFKROD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eApplication: K-series engine swaps, 1988-1991 Honda Civic\/CRX (EF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFactory front crossmember: retained\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFinish: black powder coat (per manufacturer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWeight: 6 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1988-1991 Honda Civic and CRX (EF), K20 or K24 swap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart number EFKROD. Pairs with the Hasport EF K-swap mount kit. Retains the factory front crossmember.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for the builder doing a K-swap into an EF Civic or CRX who needs to solve the axle-to-chassis clearance the wide K-series creates, without cutting and fabricating. The EFKROD clears the K20\/K24 block while keeping the factory crossmember, so it bolts in rather than requiring welding, and it's one of the cheapest parts of the whole swap. Order it with your Hasport EF K-swap mount kit so the front of the car goes together in one go, and don't skip it, it's the small part that keeps the build moving instead of stalling it on jack stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1988-1991 Honda Civic and CRX (EF), K20 or K24 swap. \u003cstrong\u003ePart number:\u003c\/strong\u003e EFKROD (SKU HAS-EFKROD). \u003cstrong\u003eFunction:\u003c\/strong\u003e clears the wider K-series block for axle-to-chassis clearance. \u003cstrong\u003eCrossmember:\u003c\/strong\u003e retains the factory front crossmember (no cutting\/fab in this corner). \u003cstrong\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Hasport EF K-swap mount kit. \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e black powder coat. \u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 lbs. \u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e EF-specific; EG and DC2 swaps use different clearance parts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease note the radius rod image shown is not representative of the EFKRod, but this is the DAKRod. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e1988-1991 Honda Civic\u003cbr\u003e1988-1991 Honda CRX\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Hasport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68498520604706,"sku":"HAS-EFKROD","price":62.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/HAS-EFKROD_tdz9.jpg?v=1791925132","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/hasport-efkrod-k-swap-radius-rod-88-91-civic-crx","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
