LS1 powered EVO9

RWD > AWD, except in inclement weather, when all other conditions are equal.

AWD understeers and plows through turns much like FWD.

Yup, my Evo handles worse than my Del Sol right now. It does have a shit load more grip though, and TORQUE!

I saw this thing earlier on evom, interesting at best? :\

This swap is getting popular in 240sx also. The LS1 actually weights less than the KA24DE about 100lbs less!

I saw a guy with an LS1 300zx at starbucks last night....wtf is going on.

Well it proves my theory that you can stuff a v8 in just about anything.

 

[formby]

can you put one in cels ninja?

Did anyone also consider that he would lose a little weight up front from taking out some of the front drivetrain stuff, which would help offset the heavier engine?

what a waste IMO.

Video - Mitsubishi Evo 9 with a Vortech Supercharged 5.7L LS1 V8. its still being tuned at this very moment, S/C not quite hooked up just yet but bolted in.



on the flip side, i guess this means that the LS1 will somehow fit into a mirage.

Yeah, its pretty much the shell of it, but I still thought it was interesting
