Forester SF5→SF9 Transformation / From Stock EJ20K to JDM EJ205

This is OkiSubies very first Forester Merge. Come along for the ride as we completely transform this SF5 Subaru Forester and dub it “SF9”! We swap the weaker 5 speed transmission for the 6 speed from a 07 Forester STI including the entire front and rear Subframes. Then we merge it to run the JDM EJ205 and upgrade it with all the STI bolt ons! And for the icing on the cake we tune it using Carberry ROM to add launch control. ENJOY!
