Thread: TDMi 5 Lug conversion Kit looking for info on b14/ possibly demo car!!

Yeah the b15 knuckles are all the same as well as the bearings, only difference being the hub.

As far as the question about the bearing being wider than the b13/b14, I already answered that, Its wider, It wont allow the snap ring to be seated unless you machine down the lip on the inside that the bearing seats against enough to allow the bearing to go into the knuckle enough to get the snap ring back in. You cant not run the snap ring or the bearing could back its way out of the knuckle.

so i am still a little unclear. will these spindles be able to get pressed into the b13/b14 wheel bearing hubs or do we still need to go ahead and grab b15 knuckles to press them in

B13/b14 guys just need to find b15 (1.8 or 2.0) spindle/hub assembly. That will keep your same axles and you can also just redrill those same hubs to 5x114.3 OR buy these hubs here. Then all you need is maxima rotors and p11 caliper and caliper bracket. That is a simple way for the front. The rears need a sleeve and spacer, maxima hubs and rotors.

Axles yes, but brakes?

Thats the whole reason Im trying to keep the b13 knuckles is to keep my stock brakes on there to clear the 13" wheel.

No those hubs cannot be pressed into a b13 bearing and knuckle. Simple as that. Not unless its modified like I said.

Well, this is what people can do as well. Swap the one of axle part, meaning that the (axle(spinline)) one is facing /bolting on hub. We can just swap it out from b14 se-r 2.0 to replace to b15 spec-v 2.5. This method was told by our technician, and we just haven an idea yet, but we have not confirm yet. It would be interesting if this can be done then b14/b13 to convert 5 lug will be a lot easier. Btw drilling hub may sound right, but highly not recommend...

Hey ash, so is b15 and b14 have the same rear axle? Do you guy need sleeve/washer to do the conversion?

Yes, I had to use the sleeve/ washer.

oh cool, thx for the reply

Alright I will need one b14 or local to help me find out. First kit to the demo car will be reasonable!!!

How much was this again?
