Default My motor build thread

I am having Ron at raw performance rebuild my stage 2 2.5l because I had some problems. While it is apart I had Ron send the heads out to Jeremy at crucial to get a full P&P, 5 angle valve job, supertech valves(maybe inconel exhaust valves), supertech valve springs, Brian crower stage 2 cams. Jeremy is going to ship the heads back to Ron for reassembly. I also sent him my vf-48 to get ported and polished. I am going to run the vf-48 for a year or so to save up for a sz55 or larger turbo. I know I don't need all of the headwork but I am planning for the future and figured while the car was apart I might as well make it count, so I don't have to have the motor pulled again. I am going to post pictures of the heads and turbo after I get it back. His porter has been porting heads for 36+ years so I have high expectations.

My current engine mods:
2005 wrx with a 2.5l stage 2 raw/axis motor (forged pistons)
stock wrx heads(not for long)
vf-39
synic equal length header
crucial uppipe/38mm tial ewg
crucial dp
crucial catless midpipe
erz catback
ssac fmic crucial coated with thermal dispersant coating
gimmick crank pulley
gimmick afta maf/turbo inlet hose
cobb sf intake
spec-c tgv deletes
750cc dw injectors
gmbcs

planned mods while the engine is down
piston coating
P&P vf-48
APS inlet
aps dual vent bov
crucial Ported and polished heads
supertech valves +1mm
supertech springs

overkill is the theme.

Before the rebuild it made somewhere around 280awhp/340awtrq. I'll dig up the graph. I am hoping for a little bit more next time.
