So you're saying the only difference between the 2jz-ge and the 2jz-gTe is that one gets worn out differently????

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.

that and among other things because their are also differences between a
US-spec and a J-spec engine

here you can see the differences
http://mkiv.supras.org.nz/specs.htm

so it`s likely that a N/A engine is even more different

and why is it then that around 99% of the high Horsepower Supra`s are GTE engines and no GE engine???

I feel sorry for you, having a rotary, my brother had one, it sucked haha.
but at the same time my girlfriend had an MKIV and that car smoked my brothers RX7. I bought her car off her, installed a T-67 turbo, changed the injectors, ECU, and inter cooled it. I then ran an HKS exhaust system and put strut tower bars on it. and changed only the springs and tires. (note: I did this all myself after alot of research) It handles way way better because the strut tower bars made the body more solid. and the springs helped with suspention. I got about 700bhp on the dyno. and i could top it out around 168 (my engine was screaming, it was a dumb thing to do) and my 0-60 was 3.4 sec. I could pull off a 1/4 mile in 11 sec. but i was just getting into the racing part. total cost was around $8,000 for what i put on it. but the car is very reliable and beautiful in its stock shape. but its still in the mid to upper 200hp range as an N/A
