Product Details
Upgrade your fifth-generation Honda Prelude with the Innovative Mounts Steel Replacement Engine Mount Kit (20150), designed for 1997–2001 Honda Prelude BB chassis applications equipped with H-Series or F-Series engines and either a manual or automatic transmission.
Engineered to improve drivetrain stability, reduce excessive engine movement, and provide increased durability over aging factory rubber and hydraulic engine mounts, this performance-oriented replacement kit is an excellent upgrade for daily-driven vehicles, modified street cars, and dedicated track applications.
The fifth-generation Honda Prelude is a popular performance platform thanks to its responsive handling, H-Series VTEC engine options, and excellent aftermarket potential. However, as the original engine mounts age, their rubber components and hydraulic damping systems can deteriorate, allowing excessive drivetrain movement during acceleration, deceleration, and shifting.
Excessive engine movement can contribute to wheel hop, inconsistent drivetrain response, unwanted vibration from worn mounts, and additional stress on surrounding components. These issues may become more noticeable in vehicles equipped with performance engine modifications, upgraded clutches, or increased horsepower and torque.
Innovative Mounts addresses these concerns with heavy-duty steel mounting assemblies and specially engineered polyurethane bushings. Unlike factory hydraulic engine mounts, which rely on fluid-filled damping chambers to absorb vibration, Innovative Mounts uses performance-oriented polyurethane to provide increased resistance to drivetrain movement.
The Innovative Mounts 20150 includes three replacement engine and transmission mounts, one mounting bracket, and the necessary installation hardware. The kit replaces the primary driver-side, passenger-side, and rear mounting assemblies, providing a coordinated solution for improving drivetrain stability.
Innovative Mounts' proprietary no-tear polyurethane bushing design helps control excessive engine movement while maintaining vibration isolation appropriate to the selected bushing hardness. This design can help improve drivetrain response and reduce unwanted mount deflection during aggressive acceleration and shifting.
Each mounting component is CAD/CAM designed and stress analyzed to provide accurate fitment, strength, and durability. The kit is designed as a direct replacement for compatible factory mounting components, with no cutting, notching, or trimming of the factory hood required.
Unlike many performance mount kits that are limited to manual transmission applications, the Innovative Mounts 20150 is designed to accommodate both manual and automatic transmission configurations in supported 1997–2001 Honda Prelude applications.
Available in multiple polyurethane bushing hardness options, this kit allows enthusiasts to select the appropriate balance between street-driving comfort and competition-oriented drivetrain rigidity.
Whether you're restoring your Prelude's engine mounting system, upgrading a naturally aspirated H22A4 build, or improving drivetrain stability in a modified H-Series performance vehicle, the Innovative Mounts 20150 provides the strength, durability, and engine control needed for demanding applications.

Available Polyurethane Bushing Hardness Options:
75A – Black: Street and performance configuration offering increased drivetrain rigidity. Manufacturer-recommended for approximately 250–400 HP.
85A – Gray: Track-oriented configuration designed to further reduce drivetrain movement. Manufacturer-recommended for approximately 400–500 HP.
95A – Red: Race-oriented configuration providing maximum resistance to drivetrain movement. Manufacturer-recommended for applications exceeding 500 HP.
Bushing Selection Note: Horsepower ranges are general manufacturer recommendations rather than guaranteed capacity limits. Actual bushing selection should consider engine torque, vehicle use, transmission type, and acceptable vibration levels.
Additional Note: Innovative Mounts recommends 75A or higher polyurethane bushings for heavier H-Series engines. Higher-durometer bushings generally increase vibration transmitted into the chassis.
Common Reasons for Replacement
Worn Factory Engine Mounts: Aging rubber mounting components can crack, deteriorate, or separate, allowing excessive drivetrain movement.
Leaking Hydraulic Engine Mounts: Factory hydraulic mounts may lose their damping fluid, reducing their ability to control engine movement.
Excessive Engine Rocking: Unwanted engine movement during acceleration and deceleration can negatively affect drivetrain response.
Engine Movement During Shifting: Firmer polyurethane bushings help maintain more consistent engine and transmission positioning.
Wheel Hop During Acceleration: Reduced drivetrain movement can help minimize conditions that contribute to wheel hop.
High-Horsepower H-Series Builds: Increased engine torque places additional demands on factory mounting components.
Improved Drivetrain Response: Reduced mount deflection provides a more direct connection between engine output and vehicle movement.
Improved Shifting Consistency: Reduced engine movement can help maintain more consistent shifting feel under load.
Coordinated Mount Replacement: Replacing all three primary mounting locations together helps eliminate unwanted movement caused by deteriorated components.
Street and Track Performance: Improve drivetrain stability during demanding driving conditions.
Long-Term Drivetrain Maintenance: Replace aging original engine mounts with durable polyurethane alternatives.
Installation Notes
Verify Vehicle Compatibility: Confirm that the vehicle is a supported 1997–2001 Honda Prelude BB chassis.
Confirm Engine Configuration: Innovative Mounts 20150 is designed for compatible H-Series and F-Series engine applications.
Verify Transmission Type: Confirm that the vehicle uses a supported manual or automatic transmission configuration.
Check ATTS Compatibility: For Prelude Type SH applications, verify compatibility with the factory Active Torque Transfer System and associated mounting components.
Support the Engine and Transmission: Properly support the drivetrain before removing the original mounting components.
Remove the Factory Engine Mounts: Follow the appropriate Honda service procedures when removing the original driver-side, passenger-side, and rear mounting assemblies.
Inspect Factory Mounting Locations: Check the chassis mounting points, engine brackets, transmission brackets, and surrounding components for damage or excessive wear.
Install the Driver-Side Engine Mount: Position the Innovative Mounts 20110 assembly according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Install the Driver-Side Mounting Bracket: Install the included Innovative Mounts 20110-SB bracket in the designated location.
Install the Passenger-Side Transmission Mount: Position the Innovative Mounts 20120 assembly according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Install the Rear Engine Mount: Position the Innovative Mounts 29631 assembly in the designated rear mounting location.
Use the Supplied Hardware: Install the manufacturer-provided mounting hardware according to the supplied instructions.
Align the Drivetrain: Ensure the engine and transmission are properly positioned before final tightening to prevent unnecessary bushing preload.
Torque Mounting Hardware: Tighten all fasteners according to Innovative Mounts' installation instructions and applicable Honda service specifications.
Verify Component Clearance: Inspect clearance around the engine, transmission, exhaust system, intake components, axles, and surrounding chassis structure.
Select the Appropriate Bushing Hardness: Choose the polyurethane durometer that best matches the vehicle's horsepower level, intended use, and acceptable vibration.
Expect Increased Engine Vibration: Performance polyurethane mounts generally transmit more vibration into the chassis than factory rubber or hydraulic mounts. Higher-durometer bushings typically increase vibration further.
Inspect After Installation: Recheck mounting hardware, drivetrain alignment, and surrounding component clearances after the initial driving period.
Professional Installation Recommended: Installation by an experienced Honda technician or performance automotive specialist is strongly recommended.
Confirm Fitment Before Bolting Down: Innovative Mounts states that mounts showing installation bolt impressions cannot be returned or exchanged. Verify all mounting requirements before installation.
