Engine Swap / Drivetrain Swap

[ViscousTraction]

I would like to be able to do a GT86 with a 2JZ in it, but I'm not that advanced yet.

Nascar V8 is fine enough.

Might as well just allow every engine into any car with your crazy logic.

Why not. It's a lot harder to find an engine swap that can't work than it is to find one that can.

I think it should be implemented and be limited to inner manufacturer swaps I.e. gm to gm, chrysler to chrysler. but bear in mind with enough money any car can be made into anything.
case in point:

I agree. I hope chassis swap and engine swap should be in GT6 if there's no chance PD implementing our wish list.

Perhaps I'm the only one, but a game that looks like that (the picture, that is) is not a game that I would be interested in.

Modifications are fun, but there need to be some serious limits to them. Not because certain things are not possible in real life, but because Gran Turismo (in my opinion) needs to retain a serious tone. If things go goofy it's not Gran Turismo anymore.

I'm just tired of getting kicked from drift lobbys, because one of my favorite drift cars is the Skyline R32, and whenever I use it, I get yelled at by all the drift snobs that think FR is the only way you can really drift, and I hate how the ford focus has FF and whenever I try rally racing with it, I practically have to come to a crawl just to turn corners.

And that has to do with this thread, how?

God, this 4WD drifting BS has been discussed enough already.

If they don't like you drifting 4WD, then don't drift 4WD. If you still want to drift 4WD, then don't drift with them.

Simple solution. 👍

Sorry, I just want to bite someone's head off whenever I hear this FR/4WD drifting crap.

A V12 Supra RZ to replicate the Top Secret Supra.

The only V12 with over 1000HP is from the TVR Speed 12, so I guess you can swap that in.

You can keep things as serious as you want by avoiding whatever you don't like.

As long as the physics are accurate, a monster Smart is as serious as a F1 car.

Wow.

Nascar V8 is fine enough.

I remember an R34 that had a NASCAR V8 & drivetrain fitted. Think it was painted up as a New York taxi lol the joys of Gatebil.

Oh i think i got a idea ....


Scion xB RWD with a engine swap . Drifting Taxi Just like TG US .

 

[Griffith500]

Wow.

It's true. People take F1 far too seriously, in my opinion. Elitism, through its close-mindedness, kills diversity and, ultimately, fun.

Like I keep saying, treat it the same as you would custom liveries and half the issues just go away.

This is all moot anyway, because any system that appears (should it appear) in a GT game will likely be considered too constrained by most people. But adding more freedom, and the ability to control that freedom for your own tastes, is never a bad thing.

 

[Boxout]

I'm more interested in a drivetrain swap than engine swaps. However only for AWD cars being able to switch RWD or FWD.

Wouldn't even be too hard to add into the game, considering we can do 10/90 already, just let us do 0/100.

I would like to see a smart car in GT so we could possibly swap the GSXR4 motor(Hayabusa equivalent) Into it and have a smart car that out runs Enzo's

 

[Kitten]

GT should have this since GT1, but i guess they didnt .

Would love the old Mini with a GSX-R engine and MR or FR! It's pretty popular in real life 👍

Sorry Slip again. I go quiet off Track a bit and forget.

why?? there are plenty of engine swap projects out there which feature different make of engines going into different make of cars. hell theres a whole community of folk who have put vauxhall, suzuki and honda engines into the rover mini.

iam currently helping a friend put a ca18det engine into a early golf gti.

cross make engine swaps have been part of the tuning world from about 10 minutes after the first cars rolled out.

yes there should be limitations based on the size of the engine bay compared to the size of the engine and the cost of swapping out should rise massively the more advanced then engine is and the tighter fit it would be too go in but a lot of things are achievable.

Yes I agree. Too make the game FUN. Sometimes I get the urge to put a V-8 in a miata. Or just swap 1.6l to 1.8l. I mean you can do that in real life. Just an idea!

I've just put a Calsonic GTR engine in to my 2012 GTR Black Edition. Sounds amazing! 👍

I dropped the 6.3L V8 from the SLS AMG into my GTR. Sounds very, very angry..

Was tempted to use the Zonda R's howling AMG V12 somewhere, but couldn't think where.

I put the A4 Touring Car engine into an Audi TT Quattro.
Still sounds like a weedwhacker.

Just joking.

Well then I guess someone can swap a Veyron engine into a Gallardo to get this required hp

Or engine multiply it.

What a cool idea!!👍

 

[fbccars924]

engine swap but only of the same company: honda = honda, gm = gm, vw = vw ... you get the point

Yeah basically what he said^

However if there were AWD versions of a car, or an engine to convert the car to AWD then it would/could be allowed. Otherwise no FWD to RWD, and if something is AWD the ability to disable the front.

These statements sound familiar.

 

[ViscousTraction]

I just thought of something.

Why don't we swap the V8 out of the Toyota GT-ONE TS020 and put a better sounding V8 in it and increase the power to the original TS020 power.
