Upgrade your sixth-generation Honda Civic with the Innovative Mounts B10051 Billet Aluminum Engine & Transmission Mount Kit, specifically engineered for 1996–2000 Honda Civic EJ, EK, and EM chassis and 1997–2000 Acura EL MB applications equipped with compatible B-Series or D-Series engines and hydraulic transmissions.

Designed around the three-bolt GS-R-style engine timing belt post mount, the B10051 provides a performance-oriented mounting solution for enthusiasts upgrading their factory engine mounts or installing a B-Series engine into a compatible Civic chassis.

Unlike conventional factory rubber and hydraulic mounts, which prioritize passenger comfort and vibration isolation, the Innovative Mounts B10051 utilizes performance polyurethane bushings to help control excessive drivetrain movement during acceleration, deceleration, and shifting.

This improved mounting rigidity can help reduce unwanted engine movement, minimize drivetrain clunking caused by worn mounts, and provide a more connected driving experience.

The B10051 features precision-machined 6061 billet aluminum construction, offering a lightweight, durable alternative to conventional steel mounting components. The complete kit includes three primary engine and transmission mounts, a driver-side mounting bracket, and the manufacturer's installation hardware.

One of the key advantages of the B10051 is its compatibility with the three-bolt B-Series timing belt post mount commonly found on 1994–2001 Acura Integra applications. This allows enthusiasts to retain the appropriate GS-R-style engine post configuration when installing a compatible B-Series engine into a sixth-generation Civic.

Available with multiple polyurethane bushing hardness options, billet finishes, and a solid mounting configuration, the Innovative Mounts B10051 is suitable for daily-driven performance vehicles, naturally aspirated B-Series builds, turbocharged applications, and dedicated motorsport projects.

Important: The B10051 requires a three-bolt GS-R-style engine timing belt post mounting arrangement. Applications using a two-bolt engine post should use the appropriate Innovative Mounts B10050 kit instead.
