Hasport sells the rear mount separately. I used the Hasport rear mount (75a i wanna say... its been a long time), ESMM's in the OEM front mount, and OEM left and right mounts.

As mentioned, the rear mount takes the majority of the abuse... the ESMM's in the front OEM mount work GREAT with the Hasport rear for taming the greater part of engine movement. Keeping the OEM left and right mounts help dampen a lot of vibration. You would be very pleased with the performance and save some coin in the process!

Thanks ill do this set up then so esmm front and hasprt rear? what kind of hasport street/race? thanks

haha great minds think alike! well sometimes lol im keeping everything stock and replace the rear mount only. already have window weld esmm front. im going 62a to keep vibrations at its minimum but i wonder if 75a just in the rear would make a difference.

Well the rear will soften a bit after use... 60's will be too soft IMO. If you were stickin with a k20 it wouldnt be a big deal... but with the TQ of the k24... i would go a little stiffer. I know mine was the step below solid... whatever that number is.

Also... greasing up the ESMM's with axle grease (where it inserts into the mount... just a little, not a lot) made them really nice too....

Just keep researchin men. Im also in the same boat as you and trying to get everything i need for the swap and learn as much as i can before i do it. So your ep is down right now? are you selling the jrsc or kepin it and boost the k24?

[gtecd20]

Thanks man yea it's down still turns on but I don't want to make it worst, might just sell it to help fund the swap. I am going to keep the Ep3 tranny
So far I need a rear motor mount and crv mount what else is a must for swap to be completed?

If your running a race header you need a em2 front swaybar. A kpro is a must for k24a2 ,You also need a karcept adapter so you can use your ep3 tb. Other than that everything should be reused from the a3 motor
