Jazz 5 stud conversion

[sangyz]

Hey Guys,


I have plans/dreams to do a 5stud conversion on my gfs jazz! so we can interchange rims and also have better ranges of rims to choose from. If you guys have any info on doing this or has done so already could you let me know. I have searched and read on a few other forums where they use ep3/dc5r or even odyssey set ups but not much info on it. Would love some more info if you guys have any thanks

i haven't come across any as of yet, even this supercharged k24 jazz is still running 4x100

have you considered having custom wheel adapters made? might work out cheaper..

I have seen wheel spacers available on ebay, that have 4x100 holes in them and have studs coming out of them in a different PCD.
but try not to get spacers too fat, as they put extra strain on the existing studs.

Yeah i havnt really come across anything solid i've come across the honda fit with jdm k20 in japan they had to weld and do a whole bunch of shit to get it fitted which sounds like a real hassle. I dont really want to go adapters as i want it to be legit with the brake upgrade as well in case i wanna engine swap this too luls.

Yeah ive seen them too but dont really want to go that way just yet as ive done 5stud conversion on my ek i just wanna go this way as i also get the brake upgrade as well and i want everything to be legit on the car and i know it will be rare if i can get it done as well lol

front shouldnt be hard with some fabrication, but the back ones being drums it will be hard to find something to swap it with.
it wont be legal anyway, once u change that because its no longer standard per say, if you want to be pedantic

read few things, seems no one has any real clue as to it, an since the jazz/fit shares no real connections with other of Honda cars, an ive read JDM fits do differ to over seas model, which might explain the jdm 5 stud but no over seas 5 stud, but i doubt it

But this is jizz.......

i think the picture above is a jazz that has had alot of money put into it, and the 5 stud pattern is more of a result to do with the brake upgrade thats been given.

unless thats just a regular JDM one.

The one above is the one that had alot of wrk done to it like welding as so on..

that's the J racing jazz..

also you can get a rear disk brake conversion for the GD3, it's about $1k from the US

i don't think it's worth it doing the conversion, just use adapters... it's money you won't get back and also the countless problems you may encounter.

5 stud only at the fronts.... daym.... well 2 things to from looking at it, one the bigger brake kit, the brake mounting hats are only designed for 5 stud which meant J's racing had to fab up hubs to fit the brake hats as well as fitting the massive brembos calipers, custom brake mounts, and 2ndly, its running 4 stud at the rear, so that might mean that the rears are quite adequate, talking about the rear discs not drums lol, in terms of braking performance with pads n fluids.

But as far as 5 stud, if there was, im sure we would seen few ppl around the world already done it by now, considering the jazz/fits been out since 2001, but its def something that can be done, so long as the moneys and engineering is involved :)

current Civic's run 5 stud pattern. wonder how hard that would be to convert? i mean, it wouldn't be cheap, but that'd be a place to start. and from what i've seen of the brake upgrade kits online, all you'd really need to get the calipers to fit is a "dog bone" adaptor

[sangyz]

Well i will start trying stuff soon trial and error is all it is. gonna start looking at wreckers and buying stuff trial fitting things mixing a few brakes kits from different cars that is similar. and will let everyone knows what works and what doesnt lol

try using jdm dc5r running gear

[GU357]

would it work tho? being that the back are drums on the jazz

[sangyz]

wont matter if backs are drums or not just gotta find something that fits. my ek1 was drum brakes at the back dc2r or ek9 fits and straight swap. just a matter of finding something that fits for the jazz and should be sweet as.

[ss-rotel]

from what i was seeing from the kits in the states, there's a dog bone addaptor to hold the calipers in place. looks like a H shaped bit of metal with holds for bolts, one side goes into were the back of the drum bolts down, the other to the caliper.

the hardest part of the conversion looks like replacing the hub so the disk can bolt down. i know that the front disks on the 2005 uses the same pads as the back disks on an accord, (not sure is it's a euro or not), but when i was looking up pads, they shared codes.

Is the accord 5 stud?

[Paul.Z]

yeah accords are 5 stud..but that wouldnt effect what brake pads it takes

[ss-rotel]

yeah, i mention it cos the thread was to create a 5 stud Jazz. if the accord is 5 studd, and if the front pads on the jazz are the same as the rear brakes on the accord, wouldn't it stand to reason that the rear discs are the right size, and a good place to start?

just a though

[GU357]

hes right the brake system on the rear of the accord must be simular to the front of the jazz, But how abt the rear drummies.

[GU357]

was the GD honda city 4 or 5 stud?

[fillit]

4 stud 4x100

[ss-rotel]

i have had a look @ the back assembly, the im guessing the piston for the drum sits with 2x bolts to the rear trailing arm. it's WAY too low for a caliper, hence the dog bone braket. looks like a H to space the holes 10-20mm's.

i found k-sport, (i think), kits in the states that bolt on for like $800. should have book marked the site, but it was a google search... so it wasn't hard to find
