No, there was a thread on evom regarding this, and every one pretty much came to the conclusion that it would be nearly impossible to make this AWD. IThis is out of some shop in Saudi Arabia that apparently swaps LS1s into everything. I'm not too crazy about this swap into an Evo. Totally throws off the whole weight distribution of the car, and i think you could do better with an Evo motor.

They just completed the swap and haven't done a tune yet. Thus no belt yet.

Pretty common.

they ruined the evo....

You cant even fit wide enough rear wheels on without things looking wierd. and i doubt the suspension and chassis handles the power delivery of a boosted LS1 the correct way, although very interesting to see and watch its very impractical and in my opinion a waste of money. Its not like the 4G63 platform had problems making power anyways.

The shop probably had extra money and were bored or something. I think it's cool to be the only shop who did this kind of swap. I'd do it for some fun and to be known as the only shop who swapped a LS1 into an Evo.

You can fit 10.5" wheels on an Evo, just a little fender rolling is required.

I've seen this swap before, like 2 years ago at a HIN in chicago, It was a yellow evo but it didnt look finnished because it had no radiator plumbing done! was any one else at that HIN and know what I'm talking about?

I dont understand how some people say, "what a waste of an evo". To me, I look at it as it's unique value rather then if it can do a 8sec pass in the 1/4 mile.
