Well your numbers are off, but either way, combining the Hayabusa engines together is definitely going to add weight, plus double the intake and exhaust manifold runners, and everything else.Probably because the V8 is made from bike engines, which are very light, and the FA20 is a boxer engine, meaning it has two heads, double the cams vs. a normal inline 4.
A quick google suggests the Hayabusa inline 4 engine is around 190 lbs while the FA20 is about 400 lbs, nearly 500 with the transmission (not far off the weight of an actual Hayabusa). Even with the turbos, you'd assume the double Hayabusa V8 engine would weigh about the same, or less.
The FA20 is 377lbs, each Hayabusa engine is 200lbs, so already you're heavier before even mating the Hayabusa engines up. GT7 is correct in adding weight for the swap, full stop.
Why would we want to slow engine swap updates? That's seriously one of the most fun aspects of the game! They are quite rare, and some of them make absolutely awesome cars to drive. I say we need more swaps!
What would be nice, is if the special parts and engines were awarded to better / higher ranked / more experienced players.
I feel like having platinumed, gold circuit experience, and nearly 100% car collection, I deserve to have a better chance at an ultra turbo or other special parts than someone who has just started, but unfortunately that's not how it works...

And I created it 😌I run it, actually.
Special/Ultimate Parts
Welcome to the Special Parts thread, version 1.03! This is the place to discuss S Parts, their availability, their performance benefits and so on. This thread was started by initially listing the S Parts generically, but as time has gone on - and with fantastic contributions from you guys -...www.gtplanet.net
yea i stoped playing first time from the game premiere....special parts and engine are esential for my taste.

I never said that's what we want. But it makes sense after a year that a non-essential component of the game slows down in intensity of project concentration. That's just the natural cycle.
I'm still waiting for a 2JZ swap for the AE86s...

The Ruf engine has not been confirmed. The odd thing is the only engine swap posted to Twitter since 4/26 (US Central Daylight time) was the Audi, released a bunch of updates ago.
It's also possible the new Suzuki engine also goes into the 2015 Toyota 86, though that is an assumption given the other engine swaps that went into a road-going (edit, since there is no Toyota 86 equivalent to the BRZ Drift Car or BRZ GT300, and no Subaru BRZ equivalent to the 86 Gr.4 or 86 Gr.B) BRZ also went into the corresponding Toyota 86 (and vice versa).
It is also an assumption that 5 will always be the number of swaps in an update, as that has been the case up until now.

Working on building my alt account (very slowly) I just completed the BMW Straight Sixes collection by buying the 3.0 CSL '73, winning an engine ticket. Somewhat fortuitously I won the Z4 engine...

I did exactly the same a month or two ago, and suddenly had some pretty decent luck on both of my accounts. I re-rolled several tickets on my new account and got the Huayra engine, Enzo, 458 and I think the GT LM Spec II. Meanwhile my original account got an Escudo and a Quattro!Working on building my alt account (very slowly) I just completed the BMW Straight Sixes collection by buying the 3.0 CSL '73, winning an engine ticket.

One can hope, but part of me doesn't want to get hopes too high for a release anytime soon. The ability to buy engine swaps would really open this game up. it's just crazy that PD implemented it in a way that pleases literally nobody; not even shareholders, because they didn't even monetise them!

The new Subaruzuki Hayabruza is a very fun little supercar.

It was mentioned up-thread somewhere, but nobody provided any actual evidence of it.
Just yesterday I won the M97 for the 930 Porsche. Wow. Loving it. Traction and legs for days especially with the big turbo. Just put some aero and sports suspension/brakes on it. Like an oldschool LM car. First non-bonanza engine I have scored in ages.

It still bothers me a lot that the weight distribution of a car isn’t affected by engine swaps. On lighter cars that receive a heavier engine from a swap, the weight of the car should tilt a couple of percentages towards the engine bay (usually the front for the swaps we have).

I think a lot of people would be surprised about the weight of different engines. And how nonstandardized measurements are for the weights. Some are dry, others wet, some fully dressed, others not. But something like the K20C1 (turbo) could be pretty close in weight to an LS7. A Gen III Viper V10 and a J series V6 might only have a 30kg difference between them, tops. Of course this is ignoring the support modifications, but PD is doing that for swaps anyway.

Remember, turbos and superchargers are made out of helium in Gran Turismo Land 😜

All swaps are listed in the 1st post.

I imagine they will figure out a way to make the swaps (and S-parts) as expensive as possible, either you have to sacrifice a car to get an engine or there’s a rotating section of the parts shop that is much more expensive than regular stuff.
Best case scenario IMO there’s some kind of cool event or challenge that awards S-parts and/or engines for whatever car you complete it with and you can complete it as many times as you want with whatever car you want.

It’s what some of us were thinking Extreme might be. Would make sense in addition to having an “extreme” steering angle option for drifting.
