I don't need it to be 4wd to be honest but I would really really like to keep it 4wd and the obvious performance benefits of twin motors makes it a pretty exciting prospect...
The idea I have is to achieve a similar result as I had been planning with the 1UR swap but in an EV if possible...@Libraio @Emyr
I certainly appreciate it won't be cheap, I've seen LDUs on eBay for around €5,000-ish so it wouldn't be long adding up but I also would hope that I can manage the cost a bit better than just going out and buying a kit... I'd almost wonder would it be worth considering buying a very cheap Model S as a donor even?In terms of housing the batteries I was actually thinking of possibly building a new floor for the car to make a sort of DIY skateboard chassis similar to the Model S one?
I've got a bunch of ideas at the moment basically but need to try and get a bit of direction to see how it might work out? I appreciate it's an ambitious notion but I don't see the point of doing it if it wasn't going to be a good job...

Do you need the Forester to be 4WD? The 4WD builds I've seen are either using both front and rear Tesla drive units, or they're retaining the original transferbox/centrediff. If you can make do with front or rear drive only, you'll free up a whole load of space for battery.
