Product Details
Upgrade your fourth-generation Honda Civic or second-generation Honda CRX with the Innovative Mounts Steel B-Series Conversion Engine Mount Kit (19150), specifically designed for 1988–1991 Honda Civic and CRX ED/EE/EF chassis applications undergoing a B-Series engine swap with a cable-operated manual transmission.
Engineered to provide a strong, reliable mounting solution for Honda B-Series engine conversions, this three-piece performance mount kit allows enthusiasts to install a compatible B-Series engine and cable transmission into a factory D-Series-powered Civic or CRX chassis.
The lightweight 1988–1991 Honda Civic and CRX platforms are popular choices for B-Series engine swaps thanks to their compact dimensions, excellent handling characteristics, and extensive aftermarket support. Installing a B16, B18, or other compatible B-Series engine can significantly improve performance, but the conversion requires an engine mounting system designed to correctly position the larger drivetrain.
Innovative Mounts addresses this requirement with a heavy-duty steel conversion mount kit engineered specifically for the ED/EE/EF chassis. Unlike universal mounting solutions, the 19150 is designed to position the engine and transmission correctly within the engine bay while maintaining proper axle alignment.
The kit includes three primary mounting assemblies: a driver-side engine mount, passenger-side transmission mount, and rear engine mount. Together, these components provide the foundation for a properly supported B-Series drivetrain.
Each mount features durable steel construction and Innovative Mounts' specially engineered no-tear polyurethane bushings. Compared with conventional factory rubber mounting components, the polyurethane design provides increased resistance to engine movement during acceleration, deceleration, and aggressive shifting.
Reducing unwanted drivetrain movement can help improve throttle response consistency, minimize wheel hop, and maintain more predictable drivetrain positioning under load. These benefits are especially valuable for modified naturally aspirated B-Series engines, turbocharged applications, and competition vehicles.
The Innovative Mounts 19150 is CAD/CAM designed and stress analyzed for strength, durability, and accurate fitment. Its bolt-on design utilizes compatible factory mounting locations and original hardware where specified.
A compatible 1990–1993 Acura Integra timing belt-side engine bracket, Innovative Mounts B59350, is required for installation. Certain taller-deck B-Series configurations may also require minor trimming of the underside of the factory hood to provide sufficient engine clearance.
Available with several polyurethane bushing hardness options, the Innovative Mounts 19150 allows enthusiasts to select the appropriate balance between street-driving comfort and performance-oriented drivetrain rigidity.
Whether you're installing a B16A into an EF Civic hatchback, converting a CRX Si to B18 power, or preparing a turbocharged B-Series build for competition, the Innovative Mounts 19150 provides the drivetrain mounting solution needed for a dependable engine swap.

Installation Notes
Verify Vehicle Compatibility: Confirm that the vehicle is a supported 1988–1991 Honda Civic or CRX ED/EE/EF chassis.
Confirm Engine Configuration: Innovative Mounts 19150 is designed for compatible Honda/Acura B-Series engine conversions.
Verify Transmission Type: The kit requires a compatible B-Series cable-operated manual transmission.
Confirm Required Engine Bracket: Installation requires the 1990–1993 Acura Integra timing belt-side engine post mount, Innovative Mounts B59350.
Inspect Chassis Mounting Locations: Check the factory mounting points and surrounding chassis structure for damage, corrosion, or previous modifications.
Support the Engine and Transmission: Properly support the drivetrain before installing or removing engine mounting components.
Install the Driver-Side Engine Mount: Position the Innovative Mounts 19110 assembly according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Install the Passenger-Side Transmission Mount: Position the Innovative Mounts 19120 assembly in the designated mounting location.
Install the Rear Engine Mount: Position the Innovative Mounts 19130 assembly according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Use the Specified OEM Hardware: Reuse compatible factory hardware where required. Inspect original bolts and fasteners before installation.
Check Engine and Transmission Alignment: Ensure the drivetrain is properly positioned before tightening the mounting hardware.
Verify Axle Alignment: Inspect the axle installation and operating angles to confirm that the drivetrain is correctly positioned without binding.
Inspect Hood Clearance: Certain LS/VTEC and taller-deck B18C configurations may require minor trimming of the underside of the hood.
Verify Accessory Clearance: Inspect clearance around the intake manifold, exhaust components, radiator, accessory brackets, and surrounding engine bay components.
