Default MOTOR MOUNTS for EG??? HASPORT vs INNOVATIVE. SWAP QUESTION?

sorry for the repost.

We've noticed both HASPORT and INNOVATIVE offer two types of motor mounts for U.S. spec 1992-1995 Honda Civic Hatchbacks.

<U>QUESTION:</U>
WHY DO THEY OFFER TWO TYPES???

We've tried reviewing this and several topics discuss "2" or "3" hole mounts.
We've confirmed that the two companies offer two types of mounts which include either a 2 hole type or a 3 hole type mount.

Getting a rock solid answer out of either company direct has been like ripping teeth out of them. Both companies have assured us they'd call us back and it's been 3 business days. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE / DEALER RELATIONS...

Does anyone know which Honda B series motors require what types of mounts.

PLEASE BASE YOUR RESPONSE FROM PERSONAL AND/OR HANDS ON EXPERIENCE.
Lets leave speculations for other topics.

What do ITR and CTR motors require?

thanks.

the use of the 2 bolt or 3 bolt mount is determined by the block mount you have

ITR engine would require 3 bolt
CTR engine would require 2 bolt

As all you need to do is look at the driver side mount (the one that bolts to the block not the one that bolts to the frame) as the mount comes from the block it will attach to the rubber mount that attachs to the frame. Where those two mounts connect there are either a two post that go through the frame mount or three post that went through the frame...your driver side mount might have been changed in a previous swap so you will have look at it to know what it actually is


on a side note the older integra's have a one post with a hole on the otherside

and also the "tech's" at innovative are very smart IF you get to talk to one of them.

posting a pic of the driver side mount would help to then someone could give you a correct answer.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by SwapShopR &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> It is determined by the post mount (black bracket) that bolts to the block it'self. On the top that (where the rubber mount sits) there are either 2 17mm studs coming out (2 Bolt style) or 2 14mm studs & one 14mm bolt hole. Most 3 bolts mounts come stock on 94-01 Integra (except <U>some</U> RS models) <U>99%</U> are 3 Bolt. Also 92-95 Civic EX comes stock with the 3 bolt driver's side mount. The 2 bolt style comes stock on most 92+ B16A motors & all SOHC Civic motors 92-00(except 92-95 EX). Kind of confusing I know.

ALL 94-01 Integras came with 3 bolt block mounts
ALL 92+ b16 engines came with 2 bolt block mounts
ONLY 94-95 Civic EX VX SI models came with 3 bolt block mounts

If your CTR engine is unmodified then it has a 2 bolt block mount
That is what they come with from Honda

many b-series parts are interchangable and the 3 bolt block mount will fit/work on a CTR engine

NO ONE HERE can tell you what mount bracket you have for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go take a picture of it then we can tell you exactly what you need.

It is very possible it has or was changed at somepoint.

2 bolt post mount style engine brackets originally come on b16 and b20 engines, b18 engines come with the 3 bolt post style. They are interchangeable if you get the wrong mount kit just swap the timing belt side bracket with the appropriate one.
