It would definitely be a big project especially because of the difference in motor design, as the evo is straight and the sti is a boxer. You'd need some type of bell housing adapter as well. But like said, anything is possible with money, time, patience, money, tools, and money.

I've seen a DSM motor with supra drivetrain once, in a 240 lol. not sure how that worked or if it ever ran but I saw it all mounted together lol.

To be honest, i don't even want the conversion kit anymore. I'd rather just get the accessories that come with it.

people have difficulty getting 02 housings and exhausts to clear properly that was made for the evo let alone swap it into an sti. It'd be a ludicrous amount of fabrication and time money. It's not a smart move

And for the record the 2JZ out of a JDM aristo has got to be the MOST whored motor ever. Its become the defacto swap for the 240 crowd. 350Z's (In Atlanta) are starting to get in on the act and I met someone here that had a 2J swapped into his 5 series in Jersey and lives in Atlanta.

Point is anything is possible with money and time. How much of either do you want to burn just to be "different".

Damn, I thought I had input... my input is that anybody asking about this here is an idiot and can't afford it anyway. The handful of people I can think of that would be able to successfully pull this kind of swap off just for giggles would do so without asking in "Evo General". For the cost of a base 4g63 swap into an STi you could easily have a completely built Cosworth EJ257 longblock. You know, a motor that actually fits?

it was a simple question, all i was looking for was if someone has done it before and if so how did they do it. and i figured a evo based forum would know if its been done before. i can afford it pretty easily as for money is not a issue for me thanks for playing

If you complete this project you will be the only Subaru that runs every session and leaves on its own power.
