Hey guys if I do go turbo do I need to do a 5 lug conversion I'm looking to get about 475 whp for my civic.

^^^X2, what would make you think you need to convert to 5 lug.

maybe he's thinking the added torque will make his lug nuts shoot off.

wtf????

Fox body Mustang guys run a lot of hp through 4 lug 8.8 rear ends.

They usually trash the splines on the axles at the diff before they break any wheel studs.

I think he would be better off just getting extended wheel studs and double up with 2 nuts to a stud. I think it would be cheaper than a 5 lug

Oh my lol. I think this is the funniest question I have heard in a while, if given the case the OP is being serious.

^^Unfortuneantly I think he is dead serious..

No this guy in Honda tuning was saying he upgraded to a 5 lug due to the torque.

WTF (actually said it out loud when I saw the title)? No there is no need.

I did it to mine. I could feel that i wasn'tgettin the horse power i knew i could, i must have been losing it dew to the lugs under to much pressure and the torque not being spread out enough. Now with my 5 lug, i can feel the HP. I wanna say it gave it about .00000000135 more HP. It's CRAZY.

 

[Jbuck2KCivic]

^^Really, that much extra HP, damm.

 

[bizoneoeh]

No, you need a 6 lug swap
