Questions about the ST185 Swap, Some details needed Options

[SilverCell94]

hey guys,

due to resources in parts and money i have decided to do the ST 185 swap rather than the ST205. I have done so much research on the ST205 that i have completely neglected looking into the ST185.

I have tried the search and there is alot of scathered information on the 2nd gen swap, so im hoping that all questions and answers can be dedicated to this thread.

so here are some question that i have:

-what kinda tranny is best for this swap? will a sw20 mr2 tranny work?
-what axles are needed if the tranny is swapped out?
-what kinda modifications are needed to dropped the motor/tranny in? will it bolt right up?
-what about the harness? does it plug in?
-is there a big difference in the OEM motor and the JDM motor? does it make a difference during the swap?
-what fuel pumps are you using as injectors?

i know some of you guys completed this swap sucessfully, please give me your input. if it's not asking too much how about a write up on this.

thanks for all the help

Generally, people use a stock 5SFE clutch disc, with a 3SGTE pressure plate and throwout bearing. This works fine, but technically doesn't make use of all the room on the 3SGTE flywheel face, so some people order a custom clutch kit from a company called "Spec" (I think), basically it's a 3SGTE clutch with splines on disc to match the GT tranny input shaft.
