Outlander to EVO

Was wondering if anyone knows of swap on an Outlander to an Evo drive train and engine combo or if it is possible. I have a 2010 Outlander 2.4 mivec and a good friend has a EVO X (destroyed) A good question is why would you do this. 1 my Outlander is paid off and 2. I have access to an EVO X engine, tranny and drivetrain for nearly nothing in cost. If any information is available please forward.

Have you looked to see if they are built on the same platform? I am guessing that this would take a lot of work, but sounds like a fun project if you have time and money to burn.

If you can fabricate parts or can afford it, sounds like a sick swap out.
You got alot of work to do, good luck.

Not worth it in the end. If you are only looking for 350 - 400ish then you'd be better off buying an STi motorset. It will probably still be cheaper then the fabrication needed for the evo x hardware to work

IIRC, there was an "Evolander" built not too long ago, of course it was using an Evo VIII platform... It was a 500hp vehicle and pretty sick at that.

If you are looking for something very unique then I say go with it, but you gotta appreciate the work you will have to put in. I say go for it, should be a cool setup.

I believe it was AMS who did the build and it sold for fairly cheap. I think ER is also doing one too..

A 4G63 Evolander is not hard to do. Find English Racing thread.

The new Evo would be harder due to technology, but an outlander is really just a Lancer with a lift kit. It has not been done before.

Personally I think this would be a great project utilizing the Outlander Sport.
