Hey guys, I need some help cross referencing motor mounts for my first gen 5spd AWD CR-V. Mine are BLOWN, and i'd like to replace them with aftermarket mounts, cause I do plan on boosting this motor in the future, i'm just having trouble finding ones that'll fit. I've definitely been searching around here, and have so far only found OEM replacements.

Help greatly appreciated!

Hint, think '96 - '00 Civic.

Both use basically identical mounts.

except for the driver side mount... im using avid mounts, i just put in torque mounts when
i found out that theres no aftermarket ones for the driver side...

The driver's side is the same too. When we did my buddy's B20 swap in a '99 Civic we used the CR-V fluid filled driver's side rubber mount in the civic since it seemed to be a little stronger.

i had a hard time bolting it up... its too low or off, may be on a civic itll bolt up up i never had
the chance to try it again, thats why i used torque mounts just to support the whole rigidity
of the engine, but everything just bolted right up!

anyway its nice to have that little play coz after the torque mounts, i felt the whole vibration of
the engine, i thought i did it wrong but i remember everything i stiff now!

Hmm, we also used the CR-V timing belt 2 post mount/bracket as well, which is a different length than the '99 - '00 Si version, I wonder if that's why.

im sure there is a combination of factory brackets that will work. i have also used the b20 bracket into an ek. it might be as simple as a few 1/4" spacers

the rear mount on 1st gen crv, is the same as eg/ek/dc

the trans mount on 1st gen crv (5spd) is same as ek. (the actual mount itself, the brackets are different...an ek bracket will NOT work on a crv)

the 2 lower tq mounts on 1st gen crv are same as eg/ek/dc

However I personally have NOT found a solution to the drivers side mount. i've put a 99-00 SI mount next to my crv mount and they are different heights. I didnt have access to the actual engine side motor mount bracket, so that might be the solution.....but I highly doubt a 99-00 SI mount bracket would work without lifting the drivers side of the engine up. same difference as putting a CRV mount in a CIVIC...it would drop the motor in a civic. (I should say, "in theory". Sounds like some of you have done it....but from what I saw, I cant see how, but I also didnt have both brackets, from both motors, in front of me)

My mounts are shot, and i've been looking for a solution for a while now....i'm going the DIY route unless something comes up before I get to the point where I NEED to have the mounts stiffened up.

Here's my buddy's old '99 Civic with B20 swap, all parts of the driver's side mount came from a CR-V. As you can see it sits perfectly level.

Actually that doesn't look level at all. It is hard to tell from the angle though...

fast2camciv

yea it is hard to tell from that pic...can you maybe get a pic with the camera sitting on the radiator support maybe? i sure get that feeling from the pic that the drivers side is higher than it should be...

another b20 swap in an ek

94EG8

It's level, trust me. And no I can't get another pic, car has been sold for a while.

I bought a set of 5 pieces.
Some are aluminium with solid rubber (front ones).

The Crv mount is the same as the civic mount only difference is the crv mount is heavy duty compared to the civic mount. No higher no lower. Part numbers are different do to heavy weld vs light weld. I will supply part numbers if you need them.
