Improve drivetrain stability and reduce excessive engine movement with the Innovative Mounts Front Torque Engine Mount & Bracket (19142), specifically designed for 1988–1991 USDM Honda Civic and CRX applications equipped with a single-cam D-Series engine, cable-operated manual transmission, and the Innovative Mounts Competition Traction Bar.

Engineered as a performance-oriented front torque mounting solution, the Innovative Mounts 19142 provides additional engine support for enthusiasts looking to minimize drivetrain movement during aggressive acceleration, hard launches, and spirited driving.

The factory Honda engine mounting system uses rubber bushings to isolate vibration and maintain everyday driving comfort. While effective for normal street use, aging factory mounts can deteriorate, crack, or separate, allowing excessive engine movement under load. This movement can become particularly noticeable in modified D-Series applications where increased horsepower, torque, and traction place additional demands on the drivetrain.

Innovative Mounts addresses these limitations with a heavy-duty steel mounting bracket and a specially engineered polyurethane torque mount. Designed to work with the Innovative Mounts 59112 Competition Traction Bar, the 19142 allows the addition of a front torque mounting point to compatible fourth-generation Civic and second-generation CRX applications.

The additional mounting support helps limit excessive engine rocking during acceleration and deceleration, improving drivetrain stability and reducing conditions that contribute to wheel hop. This is especially beneficial for vehicles equipped with performance engine modifications, upgraded suspension components, and increased tire traction.

Unlike traditional factory rubber mounting components, Innovative Mounts utilizes its proprietary no-tear polyurethane bushing design. The specially shaped bushing helps control drivetrain movement while minimizing binding and providing vibration isolation appropriate to the selected bushing hardness.

Each mount is CAD/CAM designed and stress analyzed for strength, durability, and consistent fitment. The assembly features a bolt-on design for supported applications and includes the necessary manufacturer-supplied installation hardware.

Available in multiple polyurethane bushing hardness options, the Innovative Mounts 19142 allows enthusiasts to select the appropriate balance between everyday driving comfort and maximum drivetrain rigidity.

Whether you're upgrading a naturally aspirated D16-powered Civic, improving traction in a turbocharged D-Series CRX, or completing an Innovative Mounts traction bar installation, the Innovative Mounts 19142 Front Torque Engine Mount & Bracket provides the additional drivetrain support needed for demanding performance applications.
