Yeah, but instead of paying 30K+, you'd pay 60K+ .

I think your 4 banger friends are pissed your buddy broke the code. Turbo 4 cylindersare what they like to see. Starting switching to V8 engines might as well buy Mustang, or Camaro. A turbo 4 is why people put up with ugly a** cars like STI and SRT-4's. Car will need serious suspension work (LCA, UCA, etc). Also slicks just to plant all that power. Your friend must be smart. Why turbo a 4cylinder when you can turbo/SC a V-8 for often less money? Makes sense huh!

If you look very close it appears the thing is a Haux. Look at the angle of the engine as it sits in the engine bay the angle is all wrong. I thing this guy just sat it in the engine bay to make us think it was going to be a real swap. Also it's suppossed to be supercharged and has a intercooler but the intake just goes to a filter it's not even hooked up to any type of intercooler piping.

It's real, although the angle of the engine is extreme it's real. I would for sure hate to be that driveshaft, though.



You can see the procharger on the driverside of the engine, they must hot have completed the install yet.

Amazing. Whats cool is he did what others dont have the ***** to do. I love the LT1 LS1. To be honest I love all cars for what they are worth. I had a 99 Z-28 camero with the SS engine in it and the SS ground effects. I loved that car it got me more *** that a toilet seat. I am married now and dont care about picking up chicks I just enjoy the cars for what they are. That is an amazing swap. I would love to meet the guys that did this.

I personally never thought this engine would fit in an Evo. I am amazed at this more so than an LS1 RX7. Major props to these guys. *tips hat at them*
