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?

ok I will try that.. and btw I never said you spread false information.. I was just unsure to how much knowledge you ahd with 3rd gen engines.. im quite sure all the 2ng gen information you give is 100% accurate as Ive read many of your posts in those topics.. also with fuel systems also (your thread on how to wire walboro fuel pumps properly) Im not here to question anyones knowledge.. nor should anyone else.. we should really end all this bickering (batman, Jim, me , lagos) its geting us no where.

Everyone swallows the humble pill when they are in the middle of a project and need help. You did "call me out" and did claim that i spread false info. But luckly I'm a nice guy who really doesn't take this internet stuff to seriously and tends to help more people than i can remember get their swaps running because i know what its like to be in the middle of it with no one to turn to.

All this "i dont know how much you know about THE 3RD GEN" stuff is silly. There has been all this bs hype going around about having 3rd gens or wrc versions or what not. The truth is that these things are 95% the same 3sgte that everyone else has. Sure a few things evolved slightly over the years, but its still the same motor. If you know one, you know the other. Trust me, I worked on all three generations... its all the same sh1t. One has a map sensor, the other an afm. Big deal.
