Product Details
Upgrade your fourth-generation Honda Civic or second-generation Honda CRX with the Innovative Mounts B19151 Billet Aluminum Engine & Transmission Mount Kit, specifically designed for 1988–1991 Honda Civic and CRX ED/EE/EF chassis equipped with compatible D-Series engines and cable-operated manual transmissions.
Engineered as a performance-oriented replacement for the factory engine mounting system, the Innovative Mounts B19151 combines precision-machined billet aluminum construction with performance polyurethane bushings to provide improved drivetrain stability, reduced excessive engine movement, and a premium engine bay appearance.
Factory Honda rubber engine mounts are designed to prioritize passenger comfort and vibration isolation. Over time, these mounts can deteriorate, crack, or separate, allowing excessive engine movement during acceleration, deceleration, and shifting. This movement can contribute to drivetrain clunking, inconsistent shifting feel, and wheel hop during aggressive acceleration.
The Innovative Mounts B19151 addresses these concerns with a complete three-mount replacement system featuring driver-side engine, passenger-side transmission, and rear engine mounting components.
Unlike an engine conversion mount kit, the B19151 is designed to retain the factory-style D-Series engine and cable transmission configuration while upgrading the primary drivetrain mounting points.
The billet aluminum construction offers a premium alternative to conventional steel engine mounts, while Innovative Mounts' polyurethane bushings help maintain more consistent engine and transmission positioning under load.
Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for supported applications, the B19151 does not require welding, chassis modification, or hood trimming. The mounting geometry is engineered to maintain proper drivetrain positioning without introducing axle bind.
Available in multiple polyurethane bushing hardness options, billet finishes, and a solid billet configuration, the Innovative Mounts B19151 is suitable for daily-driven performance vehicles, naturally aspirated D-Series builds, turbocharged applications, autocross, road racing, and dedicated motorsport projects.
Important: The Innovative Mounts B19151 is a D-Series replacement engine mount kit for cable-operated transmissions. It is not a B-Series engine conversion kit. For compatible B-Series cable transmission swaps, see Innovative Mounts B19150.
