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?

hey I just got your message

spitting fire ?!? running rich maybe ?
almost sounds like you have a major vac leak with the high reving.
Have you checked for codes ?
or checked the timing ?

the 205 fp is just fine, no need for a walbro.

yea it looks like i still have a vac leak.. its getting frustrating b/c i checked my vacuum lines 3 times already.. maybe im still missing something.. gna run more diagnostics tomamrow.. oh and a good note is that i fixed my starter issue.. a black and yellow wire was not needed to complete the clutch start sequence so i removed it and its starting normally now.. hopefully the error codes will direct me to the exact problem tommarow.. oh and my exhaust is finally in. so to do list.. find the vac leak.. relay the IC and IC pump.
