2 Stage 3SGTE Swap thread, Stage 1.. almost done =) Options

EDIT: 8/22/09
Ok guys before commenting just know my goal is 330 hp until all 2 stages is complete.. so keep that in mind when reading my setup:

95 toyota celica GT
ST205 3sgte swap
GT tranny and axles
Stage 3 clutch kit and flywheel(deciding between 2 I like)
EDIT: ST205 fuel pump
3 inch exhaust(already installed)
ST205 downpipe

Now in order to move on to stage 3 I need to figure out which engine I want.. parts for the 185(non RC) I have found to be relatively easy in case something breaks.. alot of sites have parts for the engine.. but it turns out the 185 wiring is harder than the 205.. im leaning towards the 205.. although i think finding parts for the engine is harder.. the swap should be a bit easier and at stock I would be right at my goal which is 250 hp running stock... i know for a fact there wont be an urge to raise booast levels since stage 2(AWD Conversion) of my swap would not be completed.. and this is my only car which i use for work and not for racing intentions.. 4 now.. lol

so basically I got 2 questions that have been killing me for a while now..
axles.. is it possible to mix and match GT tranny with 3sge axles.. if so that would be a delight but I highly doubt you can.. but im asking for clarification.. and 2.. what engine do you guys think I should go with.. 185 or 205?

1. they go to the jdm charcoal canister that has 2 vac lines to it, the usdm one has 1. You can just block them off or connect one to the US cannister and use the other for a boost gauge.

2. that connects to the st205 airbox

3. take a better pic, can't really see it.

4. small hose. It vents the IC coolant system in case of pressure build up.

5. That's the stock oil catch can. It connects to the intake.

6. from the throttle body vac line (question 1)

7. that is for the jdm charcoal cannister, just leave it unless you have the jdm cannister.

wiring...use this (pictured)
Should have come with your motor and wire harness.



if not, just use these
