- Wed Jan 29, 2014 5:13 pm #341929 They are talking about the cast mount that bolts to the timing belt side of the engine. If it has two attachment points its a two post (civic) and if it has 3 it's a 3 post (integra)

that's not always true. all EX model civics with a d16z6 has 3 bolts on the driver side as well. that being said. all(American) 92-95 vtec civics and 94-01 integras have the same mount kits. all d15 nonvtec engines in America have 2 bolt post design on the driverside.

- Fri Feb 21, 2014 6:59 pm #342923 i'll make note that jdm d15b vtec engines have 2 post design so that can get a little confusing to a newb in the Honda world. nothing to be ashamed of though. we're all learning.

look at your mount beside the timing belt. if you see just 2 studs with nuts on it then you have the 2 bolt design. if you see 2 studs and a bolt(bolt sits lower) then you need the 3 bolt design. if you're still unsure, post a picture and we can tell you what you need to order. since you have a DX model civic, I want to go out on a limb and say you need the 2 bolt setup unless you've got an engine swap in there.

They may all have the same mount kit but they always make you clarify if you need a 2 post or 3 post LH mount. To my knowledge I thought all civics were 2 post so my apologies for that but that's still the question he was asking.
