I'm thinking about going with custom pipings to my exhaust but want to avoid the o2 sensor.

forged pistons/eagle hbeam > gte bottom end
ge>gte,
no oil squirters=more oil pressure for bearings
10x cheaper and same block/crank for the price'
dont listen to people that dont have 1st hand experience, delete the vvti if you want to make tuning easier, build up the ge bottom, i would take forged pistons, hbeam w/ 3/8 apr2000, wiseco pistons w/ my own gapped moly rings and tool grade wrist pin than an used gte bottom end w/ worn rings @ oem gap and oem bearing clearance on used bearings any day. do it right 1st time
suggest you add studded head and main to your list. hit up curt aigner @ elmurst toyota over at supraforums for best price and service for your oem parts. this guy is the only person i buy my oem parts from. you can get the entire oem seal kit. i think he charges like 10-15% over cost, which is usually a commercial discount open to the public, you wont get a better price unless you got deep hookups @ toyota dealer. def recommend

The reason for picking up a GE instead of a GTE was because it had 68,000 miles on it and I only paid $500 bucks for it locally off craigslist. I also found a 89 turbo supra at a junkyard that has a r154 trans that I might pull. Im not reall knowledgable with 2jz's being that I was into honda's for awhile. So im still learning. Im gonna have a local shop, Stage6 Motorsports build the motor for me. Im not lookin for outrageous power, just some fun power. Lol

I just deleted small cat after the headers. There is no 02 sensor their. I just cut the cat and put straight pipe there, and then from the axle back it it straight pipe. It sounds good but I may go to a hks hi power again.

This suspension is amazing, it rides smooth when your just cruisin, when you hit corners, there is no body roll, very rigid when you set it up stiff, but I still got som reading to do due to the dictionary thick booklet they come with to setup your suspension.
