what is with the specialty clutches and underdrive pulleys for GTi-Rs in the aftermarket? arent they all the same between DE's, (avenir and blackbird) DET's and the GTi-R DET?

I always thought the only diff between the blocks and internals were the oil pumps/ oil squirters and beefier rods and bearing caps.

The GTi-R also has a mechanical valvetrain. anything else that isn't posted above?

somewhere on one of the nissan forums or sites, i thought I saw a list of all the diffs between all the motors, but I can't find it now.

I'm looking into a GTi-R DET, but all the "special for GTi_R only" aftermarket parts have me thinking my knowledge of my DE and DETs in general is worthless

I'm also curious as to the electronics/ wiring harness mods required for the swap.
