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?

I was the one who did the wiring, but I sure as hell wasn't the one who snipped those wires so do not try and take shots at me indirectly.

Sorry, I was trying to make the point that its bad to have bare wires that could ground out at any time in the fuse box. Not really trying to start anything other than to point out a potential problem.

I understand that problem, and I feel bad that I myself didn't tape up those wires before I shipped it out.. but I've been away at school and I basically set things up away from my car.. so I didn't do a good inspection of the engine as I should. You really didn't need to add that "whoever did the wiring needs to stay away from trying to wire cars" I already gave my buddy a good screaming after he did that last year. I'm sure bluerolla has already acknowledge that problem and has re-taped those wires by now.

Didn't really sound like he was taking a shot, sound more like "If you gunna do it, do it right, or not at all"

yikes. seems like an easy fix though.

Ok we just installed a tps from a 2nd gen...... no difference...

Update... I replace the tps sensor with my tps from my 2nd gen....... it got worst.
Put back the original 3rd gen sensor..... back to what it was doing......
Check wiring, for tps, .... all checked out ......

Checked the timing belt..... bingo!
it seem to be stench out........

I need you help again.. does a 2nd gen timing belt fit a 3rd gen 3sgte thanks!

I doubt it.. it might though.. im sure someone who knows will post but im sure you can find a ST205 timing belt on ebay.. ill do a search for you

2nd gen doesn't fit. buy OEM (from dealer) or Bando. part #: 5pk1120

look for a bando dealer nearest you and order from there.

2nd gen timing belt works, it's just one tooth shorter then the 3rd gen, a lot of people are using 2nd gen belts, but ordering a 3rd gen belt from your dealer shouldn't be a problem so get the belt that is meant for it.

Do you have an idea how long that might take to get here.......

Hey, thanks for the info..... but are you sure thats the part number........ I check ... it says its for a tercel.....

when I ordered mine it took 3 days, I ordered it at my local dealer and went 3 days later to pick ip up.

when ordering don't tell them is for a JDM engine, just give them the part number or they may try to squeeze some extra cash out of you.

thats a good idea.......... dut i dont know the toyota part number, can u help me with that pls.

[13568-79105] is this the part number

13568-79105 3SGTE..ST205 1 $53.67

Your not going to belive this, i found one at my local dealer........ I cant belive it. What are the odds of them having on in stock?
Praise God For that!

Bad news... replaced the belt.... same thing

We tried the distributor from my 2nd gen.... same thing..
Check fuel presure..... seems to be really low..... looking into that right now

Ok, i replaced the timing belt with a 3rd gen timing belt. Same thing.......
We change the distributor with my 2nd gen distributor..... same thing
We check fuel pressure... seemed low... took out the filter, seemed dirty, check the fuel pump, put everthing back together.... same thing.......
What else could this be?
