Product Details
Upgrade your K-Series drivetrain with the Innovative Mounts B90650 Billet Aluminum Engine & Transmission Mount Kit, designed for 2002–2006 Acura RSX and 2002–2005 Honda Civic Si EP3 applications equipped with compatible K-Series engines and factory-style manual transmissions.
The Innovative Mounts B90650 replaces the factory engine and transmission mounting components with precision-machined billet aluminum mounts featuring performance polyurethane bushings. Engineered to reduce excessive drivetrain movement, this kit provides improved engine stability, more consistent drivetrain positioning, and a premium engine bay appearance.
Factory Honda and Acura engine mounts are designed to balance drivetrain support with passenger comfort. Over time, the original rubber and hydraulic mounting components can deteriorate, crack, or separate, allowing increased engine and transmission movement during acceleration, deceleration, and shifting.
Excessive drivetrain movement can contribute to wheel hop, drivetrain clunking, and inconsistent shifting feel, particularly in vehicles equipped with performance modifications, upgraded clutches, or higher-output engines.
The Innovative Mounts B90650 addresses these concerns with a complete performance mounting solution designed to maintain proper drivetrain positioning while reducing unwanted engine movement.
Unlike conventional steel replacement mounts, the B90650 features billet aluminum construction, offering a durable, lightweight alternative with a distinctive machined appearance.
The kit utilizes Innovative Mounts' performance polyurethane bushing design to help maintain consistent engine and transmission positioning under load while retaining some vibration isolation.
Available with multiple bushing hardness options, the B90650 is suitable for daily-driven performance vehicles, naturally aspirated K20 builds, turbocharged applications, autocross, road racing, and dedicated motorsport projects.
Important: The B90650 is designed for compatible manual transmission applications. Vehicles originally equipped with an automatic transmission require a different mounting configuration, such as the Innovative Mounts B90651.

Polyurethane Bushing Selection
Innovative Mounts performance mounting systems are available with different polyurethane bushing hardness options. Confirm the available B90650 configurations when selecting the kit.
60A – Street
A softer performance bushing option intended to improve drivetrain stability while limiting additional vibration.
75A – Performance Street
A firmer option for modified street vehicles and occasional track use.
85A – Race
Designed for applications where increased drivetrain rigidity is preferred over passenger comfort.
95A – Extreme Race
A very firm polyurethane configuration intended for aggressive motorsport use.
Important: Increasing bushing hardness generally increases noise, vibration, and harshness transmitted into the passenger cabin. Select the appropriate configuration based on vehicle use and acceptable vibration levels.
