I agree the B4s regs suck.  Makes one wonder if they were interchangeable?

They are. You have to drill 2 mounting holes and a pilot bushing hole to get the motor to swap over. I think it uses a different harness. A friend and I did it in a junkyard with basic tools so it is fairly easy to do. It was the drivers front window.
To be clear, we put a B3 regulator into a B4 using the B4 motor.

Interesting to note.  I've wrecked several B3s and never kept the regs.

I'm feeling the hydro clutch so smooth and easy.

I might go with .230 hflox nozzles any input?

AAZ intake setup on its way to my house as is the M pump from Libby. All i need is a clutch, a starter and bracket  and a few random bits and pieces and im ready for the surgery. Debating on re using the brand new 16v clutch that came on the passat i bought to put this motor in or spending the 400 on the g60 flywheel/vr6 clutch.. Going to be running stock k14 boost and a fuel setting that wont make any smoke. for now at least...

Actually there is a clutch kit and flywheel still on the motor i bought. Use this flywheel and get new pp and disc??

If it's the right diameter you may as well.

Make sure you lighten your flywheel as well. It's much better.

Libby pump has arrived!! woohoo its a thing of beauty...

[bbob203]

I thought lightened flywheels on diesels wasn't optimal? or is that just 1.6 idi?

Much debate on the topic. I lost 4 pounds on my flywheel on my NA AAZ and that thing reved awesome, and it didn't vibrate excessively or anything strange.
