Even the SR20DE has forged rods. The GTi-R does have stronger bolts and better bearings. Both are available from either Nissan Motorsports or JWT. I don't think the GTi-R has forged pistons. I'm pretty sure they are cast.
While the GTi-R engine is stronger, the BB DET will be plenty strong enough for your goals. IMHO you will be wasting your money. For the extra $1,000-1,200 I could do a lot with a BB DET to make it faster than the GTi-R engine. The GTi-R engine is nice, and it's a bit exclusive, but IMHO not worth the extra money.

Also, I went to S-er. net, i cannot find anything about engine swaps - 1 article about s20det swap and it does not say much at all, where else could i go to find info, or is there a place i'm missing on the site???

First, I suggested the SE-R mailing list archives, not SE-R.net. I also suggested the SR20DE Forum. They are all different. SE-R.net does have limited info on DET swaps, but not much. Best to look through the site index.
I think you are smart for delaying your project. That's a lot of money you are planning on spending. Be sure you are spending it wisely.
Boogie, you got anything to add? I think you're the forum turbo guru these days.
