STeeL's built motor/turbo build

[STeeL25T]

Making some some progress on my project so I wanted to make my very own thread!

Current plan is to rebuild my EG33 up for high boost, 5 speed swap, and eventually single turbo. Theres a parts list with prices in other build threads and I'm mostly doing the same thing so I won't keep track of prices here much, just what I buy and what I need mostly and show the progress as I go.

Information on the car: 1994 Laguna Blue LSi.

Current Mods: Koni/Ground Control coil overs, Rota wheels, full 5 speed swap installed minus transmission








Engine parts purchased so far:

Custom built intake by Sicksubie
Used 8.5:1 CP pistons
2005 WRX transmission, blown 3rd gear.. Gotta fix this.
Eagle Rods with ARP 2000 bolts
ACL Race Series bearings
Block honed, decked .005, cleaned, crank balanced
New OEM water puml
All new gaskets
All new OEM hoses

Parts to buy:

Deasth Works 550cc Injectors
Outlaw Engineering spacers
Cometic head gaskets
Water to Air intercooler/heat exchanger good for 550 hp
Timing belt, idlers
ARP head studs, I need help with these!
Engine management, either eManage or MegaSquirt
And quite possibly, Delta Cams regrind.

Here is the motor as she sits now. I just got it on an engine stand, removed all accessories, intake and runners, engine harness, cam gears, valve cover, etc.







Major snag right now is I am having a terrible time still trying to get the head bolts off... In fact, I think I stripped one... Any help here would also be great
