Designed as a performance-oriented replacement for the factory engine and transmission mounting system, the Innovative Mounts B10050 combines precision CNC-machined 6061 billet aluminum construction with polyurethane bushings to provide improved drivetrain stability, reduced excessive engine movement, and a premium engine bay appearance.

Factory Honda rubber and hydraulic engine mounts are designed primarily for passenger comfort and vibration isolation. Over time, these mounts can deteriorate, allowing increased drivetrain movement during acceleration, deceleration, and shifting. Higher engine output and aggressive driving can place additional demands on the factory mounting system.

The Innovative Mounts B10050 addresses these concerns with a three-mount replacement system consisting of driver-side, passenger-side transmission, and rear mounting components, along with the required driver-side mounting bracket.

Its billet aluminum construction offers a premium alternative to conventional stamped-steel mounting components, while the polyurethane bushings help maintain more consistent drivetrain positioning under load.

Available with multiple bushing hardness options and finishes, the B10050 is suitable for daily-driven performance vehicles, naturally aspirated B-Series builds, turbocharged D-Series applications, B-Series engine conversions, and dedicated motorsport projects.

Important: The B10050 is designed for compatible B-Series and D-Series engine applications using a two-bolt engine timing belt post mount. It is not a K-Series engine conversion kit.

Available Bushing Hardness Options

60A – Red – Street

The softest polyurethane option for the B10050.

Recommended for street-driven vehicles where improved drivetrain stability is desired without the rigidity of more aggressive competition mounts.

Manufacturer horsepower guidance: up to approximately 250 HP.

75A – Black – Performance Street

Provides increased drivetrain rigidity for modified street vehicles and occasional track use.

Manufacturer horsepower guidance: approximately 250–400 HP.

85A – Grey – Race

Designed for higher-output engines and aggressive performance applications requiring greater drivetrain control.

Manufacturer horsepower guidance: approximately 400–500 HP.

95A – Red – Extreme Race

The stiffest polyurethane option, intended for dedicated high-output and competition applications.

Manufacturer horsepower guidance: 500+ HP.

Solid Billet – Competition Only

A rigid mounting option without polyurethane bushings, intended for specialized racing applications where vibration isolation is not a priority.

These horsepower ranges are manufacturer selection guidelines rather than guaranteed load ratings.

Important: Firmer bushings generally transmit more noise, vibration, and harshness into the passenger cabin. The solid billet option provides essentially no conventional polyurethane vibration isolation.

Available Finish Options

Standard Finish

Provides the natural appearance of machined billet aluminum.

Polished Finish

Offers a brighter, reflective appearance for detailed engine bays and show-oriented builds.

Black Anodized Finish

Provides a darker appearance for enthusiasts seeking a more understated engine bay aesthetic.

Finish availability may vary by bushing configuration.

Required B-Series Timing Belt Post Bracket

The Innovative Mounts B10050 requires the correct two-bolt B-Series timing belt post bracket.

Innovative Mounts Reference: B50050

The manufacturer identifies the mounting bracket arrangement used with:

• 1997–2001 Honda CR-V B20 applications

• 1999–2000 Honda Civic Si B16 applications

This bracket is necessary for the supported engine-side mounting arrangement.

Important: The timing belt post bracket is not included with the B10050 kit. Confirm that your engine has the correct bracket before ordering.

Civic HX CVT Fitment Considerations

Certain 1996–2000 Honda Civic HX models equipped with the factory continuously variable transmission use a different transmission mounting arrangement.

Innovative Mounts offers a specialized bracket:

Innovative Mounts 10021-SB – Civic HX CVT Transmission Conversion Bracket

This bracket may be required for compatible B-Series or D-Series transmission conversions.

Important: Do not assume the standard B10050 transmission bracket arrangement will directly fit a factory HX CVT configuration.
