big block hubs

[chrisd1986]

Right im looking at going 5 stud on my loon and i was wanting to know what hubs i need to do this and
Could i use vectra ones as ive got a set of them lying round. Im currenly running a 1.2 hub setup but i will be fitting a gte engine at the same time

[Graeme]

Gte isn't big block pal

[chrisd1986]

Yer ano but surley the shafts are bigger for a different cv

[Graeme]

Nope

[Graeme]

Shafts are no different to the ones that are in your car now

[chrisd1986]

Can i use vectra hubs or do they have to be cav/cali ones?

[Graeme]

If your going to run the e16 and f13 you need the meriva hubs like mine

[chrisd1986]

Do i have to change cv's and can i get 256mm 5stud disks or is there a better alternative?

[Graeme]

Cav turbo brakes are your best cheap alternative or v6 if you don't mind a spongey pedal, all Cav/Cali/vec in five stud are big block which is no good unless your going to cut and weld shafts, just try and find some meriva ones on a parts search website and they press into standard hubs and bearings

[chrisd1986]

What engine size was the meriva you got your hubs from?

[Graeme]

1.3 cdti just google image it and you'll get a reg for a part find, should be able to get them for about fifty quid each delivered or a oner new, 13211373 is the gm part number if you know any one who gets good priced off the main stealer
