Default V6 swap in EK chassis done! (J32 swap)
Swap Finally completed!
Chassis:
96 Honda Civic Hatchback (Automatic)

Swap:
J-32 swap (Acura CL/TL Type-S V-6 engine)
Factory TL Type-S ecu (Square1 reflash)
Automatic to 6spd conversion
Custom mounts (Square1 Motorsports exclusive)
Custom radiator (Square1 Motorsports exclusive)
Custom Drive shafts (Square1 Motorsports exclusive)
Custom Power Steering line (Square1 Motorsports exclusive)
Custom Wiring (Square1 Motorsports exclusive)
Custom shifter assy
Custom radiator hoses
Custom throttle cable bracket
Custom 2.5” Stainless Steel exhaust
Custom bolt on front end (Removal radiator support for easy access to engine)

Details:
Thanks to everyone for the support and complements on this swap. This is a first documented EK J-series swap with power steering and soon to have A/C(according to Hasport and API?). The mounts are completely custom, with plenty of hood clearance and ground clearance unlike other mounts in EG’S. Placement of the engine is tight but leaves plenty of room for the a/c compressor or rear mounted turbo??? The engine angle is as close to 90 degrees with respect with the chassis as possible leaving a max CV axle angle at 10 degrees unlike 20+ degrees with other mounts in EG’s. The car runs and drives awesome with a deep V6 growl and shifting the 6 speed is ultra smooth. More pics and a video to follow!!
