Re: AZ3 B6T engine swap
they should. Oil gally threads should be the same and everything else is universal.

Re: AZ3 B6T engine swap
Hi again, so I'm back to ask what would be the best option for upgrading my clutch? i am having a lot of trouble finding compatible parts for my B5 engine, i have the turbo and manifold all bolted up and it idles fine, havn't stressed it yet as we havn't had it tuned up and I want to make sure that things are safe before i start to test it fully.

Re: AZ3 B6T engine swap
From what I remember is that the B5 uses the same clutch and flywheel the US sohc b6 uses. ACT makes several styles to choose from. my favorite was the 6 puck ceramic with a sprung hub. if you are using the gearbox that came with the b5 then I strongly recommend using a clutch with a sprung hub and ceramic tends to grip real hard you might want to go with a organic OE style disk. its easier on the differential. your b5 is the same as the b6, main difference is the size of the pistons.ginja117 wrote:Hi again, so I'm back to ask what would be the best option for upgrading my clutch? i am having a lot of trouble finding compatible parts for my B5 engine, i have the turbo and manifold all bolted up and it idles fine, havn't stressed it yet as we havn't had it tuned up and I want to make sure that things are safe before i start to test it fully.
