Hi, I have an 86.5 na supra that I recently blew up (broke studs for rod cap and destroyed rod) I am looking to go to a weisco piston and eagle rod assembly. My question is that these parts are specifically made for a gte engine and obviously mines a ge,the question I have is are the rods the same between the ge and gte? Like are they the same throw or not? And yes I understand going to a gte piston will lower my compression to a 9:1

GTE piston will lower your compression to 8.4:1. Rods are the same, as is everything else on the engine. Besides the obvious turbo drain/feed, intake and exhaust manifolds, pistons, oil squirters, and intake cam, everything is the same. And *gasp* everything is interchangeable.
They will swap in fine. Just make sure you get the right size so the piston to bore clearance is within the spec of the piston.
Unless you plan on boosting the motor, I wouldn't use GTE pistons simply because you'll lose power. It would be a waste of forged pistons...
Also, GE blocks are missing oil squirters, oil feed and drain for turbo, and the 2 knock sensor locations (there's on on a GE and IIRC it's on a third boss in the block in the middle).

I'm hopefully going to run a wet nitrous kit on this motor and I just need something in the bottom half of the motor that can take that sort of abuse and I'm worried the factory internals won't handle it, plus it is nearly impossible to obtain a oem connecting rod and piston, plus the block has too be bored due to cylinder wall damage. and just to clarify so nobody makes a comment I will be running a metal hg and arp head bolts
