Product Details
Transform your sixth-generation Honda Civic with the Innovative Mounts B90051 Billet Aluminum K-Series Engine Conversion Mount Kit, engineered for 1996–2000 Honda Civic EK, EJ, and EM chassis undergoing a Honda K20 or compatible K24 engine swap using a 1992–1995 Civic EG-style front subframe and rear crossmember.
Designed for enthusiasts upgrading from the factory D-Series or B-Series drivetrain to a Honda K-Series engine, the Innovative Mounts B90051 provides the specialized engine and transmission mounting components necessary to position a compatible K-Series drivetrain within the sixth-generation Civic chassis.
The 1996–2000 Honda Civic remains one of the most popular platforms for K-Series engine conversions thanks to its lightweight construction, extensive aftermarket support, and proven performance potential. Installing a K20 or K24 engine provides access to increased horsepower, improved torque, and a wide range of naturally aspirated and forced-induction upgrades.
Unlike conventional steel engine conversion mounts, the B90051 features precision-machined billet aluminum mounting components combined with Innovative Mounts' performance polyurethane bushings. This construction provides improved drivetrain stability, reduced excessive engine movement, and a premium engine bay appearance.
Factory rubber engine mounts are designed primarily for passenger comfort and vibration isolation. Under aggressive driving conditions, excessive drivetrain movement can contribute to wheel hop, drivetrain clunking, and inconsistent shifting feel.
The Innovative Mounts B90051 addresses these concerns with a complete three-mount conversion system featuring driver-side transmission, passenger-side engine, and rear engine mounting components, along with application-specific conversion sub-brackets.
One of the most important fitment requirements is the EG-style front subframe conversion. The B90051 is specifically designed for 1996–2000 Civic chassis using the older 1992–1995 Civic EG front subframe and rear crossmember arrangement.
Vehicles retaining the original 1996–2000 Civic EK-style subframe require the Innovative Mounts B90050 instead.
Available in multiple polyurethane bushing hardness options, billet finishes, and a solid billet configuration, the B90051 is suitable for naturally aspirated K20 builds, high-torque K24 conversions, turbocharged applications, autocross, road racing, and dedicated motorsport projects.
Important: The B90051 is designed for compatible K-Series manual transmissions and an EG-style subframe configuration. The original chassis may have been equipped with either a manual or automatic transmission, but the completed K-Series conversion must use a compatible manual transmission.

Available Polyurethane Bushing Hardness Options
75A – Black – Street / Performance
The softest polyurethane option currently listed for the B90051.
Recommended for performance-oriented street vehicles where improved drivetrain stability is desired while retaining some vibration isolation.
Manufacturer horsepower guidance: approximately 250–400 HP.
85A – Grey – Race
Provides increased drivetrain rigidity for higher-output engines and aggressive performance applications.
Manufacturer horsepower guidance: approximately 400–500 HP.
95A – Red – Extreme Race
The stiffest polyurethane option, intended for high-output and dedicated competition applications.
Manufacturer horsepower guidance: 500+ HP.
Solid Billet – Competition Only
A rigid mounting configuration 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. Solid mounts provide 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 selected bushing configuration.
Required EG Subframe Conversion
