Exclamation CA18ET vs. CA18DET bottom ends

As title, just wondering if there are any known major differences between the DET and ET bottom ends? My s12 just decided to have a hissy fit and dropped a cylinder...after removal of the head due to suspected head gasket found a bit missing form one of the pistons and the rings on that cylinder are shot. I am of the belief that if you break it replace it with uprated, eventually you will get a massively improved engine/car etc.

Been looking about but cant find any forged options for the ET and was wondering if the DET setup would fit without issue.

if anyone has done this before or indeed knows of a supplier for forged ET pistons, rods and possible crank then i would be really grateful of any help rendered.

cheers

Ben
