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
@@levislone3072 that's why I love this Motorsport you never know what's going to happen at this power level , parts are always on borrowed time lol and when you got a manual car really magnifies everything..... anything can happen ...

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.
@@N-Collective 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.
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.
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.
@@j-mAkesSh7t Well you commented on Kyle's video on Kyle's channel without specifying that it was a comment directed at someone who just appeared on the channel once and will probably not read many comments.

Badass but what’s more badass is you guys actually wearing ear pro. Make it normal for younger generations seeing big TH-camrs wearing it. I never did and regret it
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.
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.
You guys need the trans subframe/mount. Any subframe/mount that had an ej engine will work. 02-14 wrx or 04-17 sti. It will bolt right up, I've actually got one if you want to pm me
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!!
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)
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.
Reverse the intake, add a motion raceworks throttle body with low profile Y, then relocate the turbos lower and rearword. Might not totally fit under the hood, but it would be close and look killer.
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 👍
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" 😂
