Bill is busy as heck keeping up with the W55 / R154 / T56 and GM bellhousing kits. I doubt he will be developing an Evo bellhousing kit anytime within the next year.
We're also working on a front water outlet kit and a front CAS relocation kit which keep him super busy.
Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
There are quite a few RWD evo engines already. The spin clockwise just like every 4G6x since the late 70s (and probably older).

I think everyone got confused about the counter rotation idea from the turbo. Since the EVO 8-9 turbo sits the opposite way most other turbos do, Mitsubishi decided to reverse its rotation. The turbo shaft itself spins a different way than other turbos. Try looking for turbo kits for the EVO 8-9 and you'll see that they don't use many conventional turbos. The exhaust manifold mating flange is also very different from anything before or after.
Do it in a Datsun!
1972 Datsun 510
7-bolt 4G63T, EVO 9 pistons and rods, Garrett GT3076R, "flipped" stock intake, Toyota R154, Z31 R200 w/ CVs
That is true, the turbo does spin the opposite direction of most turbos.

IIRC, all evo 4-9 4g63s use the same bolt pattern.

IDK, I guess they want to say they have an newer evo engine?
the point is that I have a evo9 engine that has piston,rod,cams
AEM computer ,etc.The r154 is in a box waiting for the engine so all I
need is the bellhousing.

Great! Now sell the EVO parts (which are worth more than DSM counterparts), buy DSM parts and use left over money to pay for Bill's DSM adaptor .
Seriously, it isn't advisable to use anything just because you have it "sitting around"!
As far as power production, there isn’t all that much difference between DSM and EVO engines. Both are very good!
Also, do EVO 4-9 engines have bosses on the block for RWD motor mount? I know that 2G engines do not have them…
although the EVO resembles the second gen 4G63 bolt pattern , however the flywheel is an inch and a half wider than the FWD narrow block set up, I am hoping to combine the wide block with the EVO bolt pattern to build a universal bellhousing
Bill like me there are a few more felow that are looking foward
for this bellhousing to do the same project , So is not only one
bellhousing that we are going to buy.
