This definitely seems like an overall cheaper way to go than an entire swap. I do have a couple of questions. The differences between the na pistons and tt pistons have been stated a few times. Is there a reason you can't use the tt pistons in the na block? And what about using a 3mm hg?

You can definitely use TT pistons. With the TT pistons, stock GTE headgasket, and GTE head, your compression will be ~8.5:1. If you use the TT pistons with a 3mm headgasket, your compression will be VERY LOW. If you don't want to put in TT pistons and use a 3 mm headgasket to lower your compression, your compression should come out to be:
3 mm-.3 mm(stock NA headgasket)= 2.7 mm
2.7 mm - .3 mm(once headgasket is torqued down and crushed)= 2.4 mm
3.14159 X 4.3*2 X .24=13.9411 cc
If the gte head volume is 1 cc less than the ge head then,
13.9411 cc- 1 cc= 12.9411 cc
C/R=499/(55.1 + 12.9411) +1= ~8.33:1 compression
Scott, you want to check up on my numbers?
3 mm-.3 mm(stock NA headgasket)= 2.7 mm
2.7 mm - .3 mm(once headgasket is torqued down and crushed)= 2.4 mm
3.14159 X 4.3*2 X .24=13.9411 cc
If the gte head volume is 1 cc less than the ge head then,
13.9411 cc- 1 cc= 12.9411 cc
C/R=499/(55.1 + 12.9411) +1= ~8.33:1 compression

O.k... back to William's thread. Could someone *please* explain to me *why* he has a distributor *and* a separate crank position sensor? His distributor test at the top of the page shows *four* signals: NE (crank), G1 (primary cam), G2 (secondary cam), and ground. Here's a block diagram showing the signals on a 2jz-ge distributor: http://www.mkiv.com/specifications/ncf/ncf93/ncf064.jpg
Zohair?... what's the deal?
Thanks,

Here's a new pic of the project. It is ALMOST done. I have been extremely busy with other things and have not had enough time to work on it. It WILL be done by the end of this week.

Thank you Richie!
Update: I bought a new gte crank timing gear because I wasn't getting any spark. Even though the 97 SC300 has a crank position sensor, the ge timing gear looks different compared to the gte timing gear. At the same time, I also bought a brand new gte crank position sensor as well *just in case*. The parts should be coming in today so I will take a pic to show the differences for you guys to see
The car should be ready by this Sunday because there is a meet I want to go to.

Got the gte crank timing pulley and gte crank position sensor in yesterday. I missed the car meet I wanted to go to on Sunday. I also wanted to take pictures of the timing gear differences but my girlfriend has my digital camera. I will be putting on the gte crank timing pulley and gte crank position sensor today. Hopefully the car starts today as well. I will keep you guys posted..

ITS ALIVE!!
After installing the gte timing gear and gte crank position sensor, I started up the car and the car idles sooo smoothly!!! I still need to bleed the brakes and put the hood back on.. Just wanted to let you guys know that it RUNS!!!
