The 2003-2008 Subaru Forester uses subframe spacers that are about 1.25" -1.5" high and will bolt directly into the 02-07 WRX/STI since both share the same chassis underpinnings. You can also use the Forester's extended subframe bolts. You probably could have avoided having to cut the subframe with those.
@michaelscarport yea hence why i said cheap lift, the legacy ones give it a lower ride as weve used and swap em between our cars, hell even swapping drivelines betwee older and newer models requires few small things cause same wngine trans and juat maybe a few new sensors
I would say 97-02 forester sf5 subframe spacer works as well.. Exactly 1" in length.. Actually many slammed lowered forester removed this kind of spacer to have correct lower control arm geometry... But in drag application and engine swap like this, having the spacer definately becomes handy

Pretty cool project! As a Subaru Forester guy myself you might find that you could use some forester parts in this build. The Forester subframe is the same as the Impreza one but it has spacers from factory to sit the engine lower in the bay to accommodate the foresters higher ride height. A forester steering shaft is made to suit this lower subframe too.
I see this being high potential. It would be cool to see something a bit more refined for a change. Make it so you can actually have a hood with no holes cut in it. No hood or side exit exhaust, full exhaust system with nothing sticking out. That would be impressive.
Huge j series fan here. Know them like the back of my hand. I’m here for all the j series content. Also. If you used a j35a4 or a3 bottom end (crank, rods, pick up and oil pan with j32a2 pistons and heads. You have no clearance issues and it’s makes a pretty good difference. The rods are even shorter in the j35 then the j32
Sadly the TH-camrs never listen to use Honda “peasants” in the comments who tell them the LEGIT hybrid builds that are badass and the most efficient/effective.
@@TANGYHATCHY I have a TSX that spun a bearing, seems like the oil pump gave out, anyways just to get it back on the road I grabbed a k24 A-8 out of an accord from the local junk yard not realizing there was a difference between them. My question is, should I put the head from the original A-2 on the A-8 block OR would it be better to get a set of bearings and rebuild the bottom end of the A-2 block? I got a set of bearings on the way, and I want to upgrade the oil pump to a type S, but for the sake of time I need to get the TSX back on the road ASAP, should I just use the A-8 bottom end or is it worth rebuilding the A-2?
@@StrKillin a8 has lower compression than a2, so ideally I'd throw new bearings in the a2 bottom end as long as the crank and rod isn't scored up and clearances are still ok. Plus then you don't have to deal with making sure head and deck is straight after removing head, debating whether or not to reuse head studs, etc, etc. Plus you can even do the bearings while the engine is still in the car. It would probably be important to identify why you spun a bearing first though to make sure you don't have an oiling issue within the motor.
Kyle....this works....love the longer vids with fewer in between! No reason to make a episode about devcon.....let's get some progress like you did here! This format is awesome!
For those engine subframe spacers, you should look into the 03-08 Forester parts. They have subframe spacers from the factory and hardware that goes with it. No need to design and produce aftermarket ones.
Hey Kyle I was wondering if you have ever tried the rubber glove trick for installing the keepers into the retainers. It's way easier than trying to fiddle them in. This build is gonna be awesome. Definitely surprised us with this one
@@boostedboiz A Large hot-cabinet parts washer would be great addition for the shop. Make these builds look sweet. Surely a company would sponsor you one...
@@boostedboiz Kyle look into the Forester crosmember it will bolt rite up to your Impreza and I don't think you would have to cut it at all it sits down about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 you would need the bolts also from the Forester crosmember..it also would work on (Hondaru)
Very cool guys, I'm almost done swapping a LS 5.3 in my WRX and it's not as insane looking as your J series twin turbo swap. Nice. Looking forward to seeing more of this 👍
lol man what a video, so much content in one hit, i know its not easy to make a longer term project video like this but its gotta be 1000x better to watch than a 10 part series on building a couple of charge pipes lol
That was not a JDM engine. It had Acura emblems on it and Acura's were never sold in Japan. I think someone told Kyle a bit of a Story to sell that engine. "Yeah it is low miles, Straight of the boat from Japan" 😂
I work with epoxies at work semi often. Great trick for pouring it is with generic plastic ketchup/condiment squeeze bottles. Gives you better aim and more flow control than just pouring it out of a cup/can/etc.
Last time I did it I used a cake icing kit from the dollar store. Kinda sucked but was kinda nice. Better than using sticks and cups lol. I'll try that ketchup bottle next time.
An EZ30D twin turbo would be way easier. It is only 3/4 of an inch longer, and it would bolt right up to that transmission. Also, I bet it would have cleared the crossmember with no clearance issues. Great video!
@michaelscarport Well the point behind the EZ30D would be that it is probably a lot simpler to do. A Porsche 9A1 or M96 engine would be expensive and would need the same amount of work as the "J" that Kyle is installing. The positives of a Porsche engine is that there are a lot of high powered engines that make that power bone stock and are far more easy to modify than the obscure Honda "J" engine used on this car.
I can't imagine a Subaru 6 has much if any aftermarket support for crazy high HP builds, plus they already had the wiring harness with engine management for the j series, which is most of the battle with swaps.
YES! YES! Frickin YES! This is going to be awesome!! Stock Sti drive train is good for 700 ft-lbs and one of if not the best awd systems ever made! She's going to be rowdy!!
This is epic guys, love it. All Subaru’s need a 6!

This made me laugh out loud but so damn true!!
It was quite the sight to see 🤣
Haha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I miss them days times were soo much simpler, easier and better!
Mount the turbos at the firewall and run a water to air inside the cab like Wyatt’s truck to help move the weight back over the front axles.
This build is going to be absolutely insane. Gotta love this channels commitment to building all things Honda.

@Michaels Carport The OEM spacer is made from cast aluminum and probably stronger then a tube steel spacer.

Famous last words “I don’t ever plan on going that fast” 😂
bruh gonna hit 8s fast lololol
… until I blow past 180in traps
Yeah feel like they might get addicted to their 60ft times with a Subaru AWD system and send it lmao. It is heavier tho so who knows
Thank you for doing another j series I love them and was sad to see the 240's blow
Thanks for your business and the shout out, Boiz! Always happy to help!
Appreciate how much content you give us per video !! Most TH-camrs this would have been a 10 part series… smh 🤦♂️

Great video!
And sound wayyyy better at the same time. Nonetheless still gonna be sweet!
Do a reverse intake manifold and tuck the turbos
yeah get rid the water to air intercoller and put big air to air intercoller in the front and keep the hood on the car

Or just buy one thats already proven
