    It is with a heavy heart that this ad is being created, but alas...This Project took me 7 months to complete, hiring an electrical engineer to help me sort out the merge, but man is it fun.
    (www.engineerjake.com)

    For sale today im putting up my fun as hell, one of 3 in the world (as far as i know) SUCCESSFUL RUNNING EG33 swapped forester.This engine was freshly rebuilt according to the previous owner, and pulls, sounds, and feels great mated to a 5 speed in this chassis as opposed to a bulky automatic svx.

    The Forester is from colorado and has NO RUST. Body has 234k on it, but all suspension components replaced within the last 2 years. this swap sat for about a year during completion, so all parts are basically new. This is the S model so it has 4 wheel discs, as well as REAR Limited Slip Differential.


    working front to back,

    Engine has fresh (fewer than 300 miles on it) rotella T6 and a bosch distance plus filter.
    Radiator is a custom Griffin 3" with a 14" SPAL fan on a thermostatic fan controller.
    GrimmSpeed Lightweight crank pulley.
    Grimmspeed ft86 oil cap
    GrimmSpeed battery tie down
    GrimmSpeed Master Cylinder Brace
    Strut tower brace
    Forester XT Fuel pump Installed last week
    EXHAUST is a custom stainless 3" to a magnaflow "muffler". its LOUD, but sounds fantastic.a little raspy in the middle of the rev range, could throw a vibrant resonator in for a little extra.


    Transmission has been filled with REDLINE full synthetic 80w90 (i believe) fewer than 300 miles
    Clutch is a brand new (just broken in properly) Competition stage 1 6 puck, feels great. hasnt slipped ever, and is perfectly daily driveable.brand new throwout bearing

    Interior
    Doesnt have nardi, has stock fxt wheel (like the momo in the wrx)
    Clean! Wrx front AND rear seats. has some wear and tear being a 200k+ car, but really good considering.
    Rear strut tower bar is quick disconnect to use all of the trunk space with seats folded, really an awesome feature.

    Suspension
    Currently sitting on sg FXT struts for a lift.
    have saggy butt spacers that will be included
    Sitting on TEAM DYNAMICS Pro Rally wheels, 15". some of the only 15's that clear wrx brakes.
    Brand new Blizzak DMV-1 215/70/15 tires, fewer than 100 miles.
    Whiteline Endlinks

    Things that are needed/quirks (to be expected with any swap)
    Could use brakes coming up here,
    pulley alignment is kinda weird for the accessories, because the stock forester power steering pump was used. i have sourced a pump from an svx that just needs to be installed. drives fine.
    Fuel pump is tied to a seat heater switch (only on when on accessory or run, no accidentally leaving the fuel pump on when you get out!)
    Fan relay is also energized off of the other seat heater switch.
    There is a battery switch to energize and de energize the main relay(injectors,coilpacks) this is how you turn off the car.( isnt as scary as it sounds, was made to be fool proof)
    dents and dings expected on a 200k+ car

    All in all, this thing kicks ass. sad to let it go, but i need to thin the racecars down.it runs and drives great, the looks you get are SO worth it.no one expects a forester to be making that beautiful flat 6 scream.

    You can also drive around like a total badass now you own one of THREE IN THE WORLD (according to the internet) SUCCESSFUL EG33 FORESTER SWAPS. this isnt your run of the mill STI swap... you will likely NEVER see another one.


    Looking for 6000$, any trade must have at least 2.5K cash on top.
    If you have any more questions, please shoot me a text or email to the number and address above.
    thanks
    Cory

    This thing is so badass! If I didn't just pick up an 06 STi, I would've contacted you about this. GLWS!

    It's shame Subaru hasn't taken greater advantage of the H6 engines, because the sound spectacular. I'd be happy to have H6s in either of my Foresters, even the turbo one. EFI's track car for those curious how glorious these EG33s can sound.

    I'm assuming the tach signal is not corrected.....so a 4-cyl tach would read 8k, when the engine is actually only running about 5300
