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?

The fued between the blue beasts

there is no fued.. so stop trying to stir things up. Like I said before I hope these differences can be squashed soon.. its pointless.. and NO im not saying this bc I need help so dont even write that (you know who you are) the fact of the matter is we all have celicas.. some of us want to do swaps.. some of us would like more information on how to do it.. some people have the "go research like I did" attitude.

If you want to help the community.. or so you say.. then how about showing people how you did your swap.. because in the end.. people will STILL need to do the swap on their own.. its not doing other peoples homework.. doing other people's homework is actually going and doing the swap for them. Even if you show exactly how you did it.. step by step.. bolt by bolt.. wire by wire.. theres no way in hell a swap can be done in a day.. you are just making life easier for others who also want power, and to be honest.. hiding how you did a swap is soo very selfish.. and implies that you want people to suffer just as you did.. which is such a wrong mindset with cars.. and life in general

Jim and Batman, you guys both have succesful running swaps.. you guys should be good friends IMO.. Id say instead of taking shots at one another.. you all should help each other learn new things.. and ultimately post the best damn "how to swap a 3rd gen on the internet" I will pitch in and help once i get mines running

Lagos.. I dont understand why you think people here are bashing you or trying to bash bc of 2nd gen.. 3rd gen crap.. I DONT CALL YOU OUT BECAUSE YOU HAVE A 2ND GEN!! I dont understand why thats so hard to understand. Like i said before there had been some posts you made on 3rd gen issues that werent really the right answer.. so I just wondered if you infact had credible knowledge on 3rd gen motors.. the only reason we got heated was because you called me a cheerleader.. which anyone will get heated about. There are certain things you can get away with on a 2nd gen that you cant with 3rd gen..

Take for instance the fuel wiring setup.. you had told me to join the blue wires together.. Batman later told me that wont fly with the 3rd gen because of a different fuel setup. Its not about which gen is more powerful.. its about what you can do as far as setting up the different generation motors.. and Ill say again.. Im not here to bash you because you have a 2nd gen motor.. I DO NOT CARE. Im here to get information and share new information to others who are new and need information.. thats what 6gc should be about IMO.. but i duno that may be just me.

So yea im done talking about this also like shannon said.. we all need to just work out these petty differences and help each other out.. because everyone can learn something new.. no matter how long youve been driving a car.. theres always something new to learn.
