I have an EG manual rack, can i use it in an EK? Please help with this.

 

Any one?

 

im thinking no.

 

yes u can use it....if ur going k swap thats the rack to use it give u more room to work with

 

I'll put one on an ek on mon and give you a true answer that night, but it proly wont fit. I'll try though

 

It will work, but it's best to get the EG crossmember. Then it's supposed to be a direct bolt-up, at least if I've read correctly on Honda-Tech, where there's a couple of write-ups on this.

Not to mention the EG crossmember is lighter and smaller, but it will sacrifice some rigidity...

 

Thanks for the feed back.. it just i have a man EG rack laying round and im about to trade my EG it looks like for an EK.. so just want to see if it wil work in that.. if not ill just get a DX EK man rack and call it a day..

 

I was amazed , it actually fit. (with the eg cross member) what I was more suprized at was that the lower controll arms didn't have to be replaced. So green light for you right. Oh, I think you might need the bolts for the eg cross, let me know if you cant find any, I can get you some. I'm in south richmond , I work at woodfin honda (junkyard) so bolts would not be hard to get my hands on haha

 

hmm cool. i am actully going outside right now to reinstall me subframe, rack, conrol arms, sway bar and all. i had to get a new rack and subframe recently, could have got one from an eg i guess... what about the rear motor mount bolting to the motor??

 

i'm not sure if it works with ek b-series rear mount....maybe have to use an eg rear mount...but i do knw that the eg rack is the way to go for k-series into an ek u get more room and with the hasport ek2 mounts they sit the k in the engine bay better then the ek1 mounts..
