5 Lug conversion?

Anyone know what is involved and if a kit is sold, where to find one? Plan on putting in a 13B-RE from a Cosmo. Speed is great, but stopping is nice, too!

P.S. - Anyone that can find a 13B-RE with turbos for less than 2000$, let me know, please and thank you!

Wow, this is off topic, but does a 20B bolt in?I'm thinking not, but wonders never cease with an FC!

ask reese about the 20b, i have been there with all his ups and downs, and downs are more occuring than the ups, but just ask him, and no it is not a simple bolt in

but it is an awesome and awe inspiring machine if well built, by no means please go ahead and create this monster, but i hope you have money.

there's no "kit" for a 5 lug swap.

Mazda already made it for you

You'll need hubs from a 5 lug car.

For the front you can swap the spindles directly into a 4 lug car
For the rear you can swap the "kunckle" and bearing assembly into a 4 lug car.

FYI, you CAN use TII stuff......it will work, trust me

Once again curious, do you have to have the 5-lug hubs to put the 4 piston calipers on?

http://howto.globalvicinity.com/gv_w...i=51&co=1&vi=1 that should explain how to do the swap. IIRC you do have to have 5 lugs for 4 piston.
