I don't know how serious the OP is, and everyone has already made good points. What I do know is I saw the grammar and looked at the location. If he is indeed from UAE (which is probably accurate) then there is a possibility that the funds are fairly endless, and they do like their custom one-offs out there.
It wouldn't cost a million but I would guesstimate easily into the $100k's - even more if you are having a customized shop do the work.

I don't think there is enough real estate under the hood of an Evo to stuff an RB in without widening the front of the car about 4 inches to fit it sideways, or lengthening the front to fit it North/South in the engine bay.
Lots of fabrication required is an understatement.

To those guys who keep referring to anything is possible because a "LS-1" was swapped in a Evo, it's a V-8. They have 4 cylinders per side which makes it a short engine compared to a Nissan RB26 DETT or Toyota 2JZ (for example) which are inline six cylinders (six in a row). By the time you add the transmission to the package, you got one long a$$ engine and tranny combo. You would then only be able to mount it longitudinally and that would require laying back or cutting into the firewall big time. Rear wheel drive would then be you're only reasonable option. You would really want to have something different if anyone attempted this kind of swap.

Better idea IMO take a mid 90s Volvo wagon 3000lb rwd w/ a dana 30 out back and put the RB n that it will fit and can you imagine the look on the 70k vete owners face when a beige grocery getter eats him for breakfast. Sorry I just love that idea! As far as the extra .6 of a liter you get from the RB is it really worth it. I have seen that engine in a S2K so anything is possible.
