The motor mounts on the 1990 9000T are unique among all years of the 9000 series run because that was the engine transistion year. The turbo was only offered with the earlier B202 2.0L engine used up to that year and the normally aspirated engine was the 2.3L - the first year the B238 was used in the 9000. The subframe was changed slightly to accomodate the 2.3L engine and was used for both engines. Since the engine mounts for the B238 were different, the use of the later style subframe exclusively meant that for that model year only, the engine mount for the B202 had to serve as an adapter between the 2.0L turbo engine and the 2.3L engine-specific subframe. As best as I can remember when I changed them out, the front and rear engine mounts for the 1990 2.0L turbo are different. If you have a 2.3L normally-aspirated engine, the mounts are the same as all of the remaining years of 9000 series production.
