Engineered for performance-oriented B-Series engine swaps, this front torque mounting assembly provides additional drivetrain support to help minimize unwanted engine movement during acceleration, deceleration, and aggressive shifting.

The fourth-generation Honda Civic and second-generation Honda CRX remain popular platforms for B-Series engine swaps because of their lightweight chassis, extensive aftermarket support, and excellent performance potential. However, increased horsepower and torque can place additional stress on the engine mounting system, particularly during hard launches and high-load driving.

Excessive drivetrain movement can contribute to wheel hop, inconsistent shifting feel, and unnecessary stress on surrounding components. These issues can become more noticeable in vehicles equipped with modified naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged B-Series combinations, and high-traction tires.

Innovative Mounts addresses these concerns with a heavy-duty steel front torque mounting bracket and specially engineered polyurethane bushing assembly. Designed to work with the Innovative Mounts 59311 B-Series Competition Traction Bar, the 19143 provides an additional mounting point to help control engine movement.

Unlike conventional rubber mounting components, Innovative Mounts' polyurethane bushings provide increased resistance to drivetrain deflection. Their proprietary no-tear design helps control engine movement while maintaining vibration isolation appropriate to the selected bushing hardness.

The Innovative Mounts 19143 is CAD/CAM designed, stress analyzed, and engineered for bolt-on installation with the required traction bar system. Installation hardware is included for the intended application.

Available in multiple polyurethane bushing hardness options, this assembly allows enthusiasts to select the appropriate balance between street-driving comfort and competition-oriented drivetrain rigidity.

Whether you're completing a B16-powered Civic Si build, upgrading a B18-swapped CRX, or improving drivetrain control in a turbocharged B-Series race car, the Innovative Mounts 19143 provides additional engine support for demanding performance applications.

Installation Notes

1. Verify Vehicle Compatibility: Confirm that the vehicle is a compatible 1988–1991 Honda Civic or CRX.

2. Confirm Engine Configuration: Innovative Mounts 19143 is designed for compatible B-Series engines. It is not intended for D-Series engine configurations.

3. Verify Transmission Compatibility: Confirm that the vehicle uses a compatible B-Series cable-operated manual transmission.

4. Confirm Traction Bar Compatibility: The assembly requires the Innovative Mounts 59311 B-Series Competition Traction Bar. Verify that the correct traction bar is installed or being installed.

5. Inspect Existing Mounting Components: Check the engine mounting brackets, transmission mounts, chassis mounting points, and traction bar for damage or excessive wear.

6. Support the Engine and Transmission: Properly support the drivetrain before loosening or removing existing mounting components.

7. Position the Front Torque Mount Bracket: Install the supplied bracket according to Innovative Mounts' instructions, ensuring correct orientation and alignment.

8. Install the Polyurethane Torque Mount: Position the mount assembly in the designated location on the compatible traction bar.

9. Use the Supplied Hardware: Install the manufacturer-provided mounting bolts and hardware in their designated locations.

10. Inspect Factory Hardware: Examine any original fasteners designated for reuse. Replace damaged or excessively worn hardware.

11. Align the Drivetrain: Ensure the engine and transmission are properly positioned before final tightening to prevent unnecessary bushing preload.

12. Torque Mounting Hardware: Tighten all fasteners according to Innovative Mounts' installation instructions and applicable Honda service specifications.

13. Verify Traction Bar Clearance: Inspect clearance around the front torque mount, traction bar, engine, transmission, exhaust components, and surrounding chassis structure.
