Yes you can retain ABS, P/S & A/C if you carry out a K swap on your EK4

If your retaining Ek subframe (EKK1 mounts) you can retain ABS, P/S (bonnet will need a decent hole), a/c (tight fit). This will limit the choice of aftermarket headers you can run i.e DC sports. Driveshaft angle is less then ideal.

Switch to the EG/DC2 subframe (EKK2 mounts), ABS has to be removed, P/S and A/C will fit better. Better selection of headers i.e PLM, ASP, SSR and etc. Driveshaft angles sits alot nicer.

Thanks for the heads up guys


Just one thing can you fit abs without having to put a hole through the bonnet?
need a mechanic that has had a experience in k swap engines in ek, so i know that they know what their doing exactly so if you know any mechanics please let us know, will be greatly appreciated.

Where are you located?

ABS can fit with EKK1 mounts. P/S might fit with the inner webbing of the bonnet being removed. If you want to retain ABS with Ekk2 you'll need to relocated the ABS unit.
