my dumb azz didn't even realise the update notice told us which cars get engine swaps lol 🤦‍♂️, I found them due to hard work and was proud of myself

Still be proud - while the patch notes says what the cars that can get swaps are, it doesn't mention where the engines come from.

I miss the time where people post pics of their found swaps.

Granted it's nice to see the swappable cars in advance but still...

959. As per my previous post on the last page.

That new Maverick Porsche swap might finally dethrone the Silvia S13 as top speed king 👀

Do I understand this correctly that the 959's engine goes in all five Porsches listed in the update notes?

 

[p78]

@the Interceptor.

I don't think so, as the Cayman gets the Maverick engine, and there are yet no cars that get 2 different swaps.

Ah, I overlooked that post. Thank you!

So currently we have:
　　・ Porsche 356 A/1500 GS Carrera '56
　　・ Porsche 911 Carrera RS (901) '73 -> 959 engine
　　・ Porsche 911 Carrera RS (964) '92 -> 959 engine
　　・ Porsche 911 GT3 (997) '09
　　・ Porsche Cayman GT4 '16 -> Maverick engine

959 in the 356 too, and RSR for the 997.

Edit: First post updated!

 

[the Interceptor]

Great, thank you!

For me, it does: 3:59 around Special Stage Route X, compared to 4:06 for the Silvia. (The Chiron still sits at 3:53.)

Funny:
One of the 6star tickets from the menus of this update, gave me the 959 engine.
3 of the new engine swappable cars are currently available to buy. 911 '92, cayman and 911 '09.
911 '92 gets the 959 engine and the other two get engines that I already got spared.

So I got 3 engine swaps for free. Lol...

okay then, I'm da man! 💪😏

 

[mcsqueegy]

It's official, we have a new speed king

Porsche Cayman GT4 with Maverick swap: 505km/h or 314mph, edges out the Silvia by a couple clicks.



Edit: Re-ran the Silvia just to be sure, and I think the physics have changed in a way that's slightly better for max speed. I matched my best Silvia speed easily but in this update, more cars are benefiting from higher front springs for some reason...

Possible references for this update's swaps:

• 959's engine to 964 Carrera: Ruf RCT or 964 Turbo, although the displacement is lower
• Maverick Windsor to Cayman: Ruf RGT8
• 911 RSR to 997.2 GT3: 997 GT3 R (seriously with the right GT Auto parts and widebody this thing is now just interior and classification away to a Gr.3 car).

The swapped Cayman is a genuine MONSTER. It really needs to be seen to be believed.

 

[compulov]

This might seem like a strange question, but do any of the new Porsche swaps improve fuel economy? So far my favorite swaps are still those which give insane power but also insane fuel economy (like the 787 and R92CP). If they won't let us install racing fuel cells, this is the next best thing.

So far the 997 has received the RSR engine swap.

@compulov Swapped GT3 RS can do a no stop for fuel (and tires) on the 700pp Le Mans race.

 

[Mafio]

Dang it!! I should've held on to that Windsor motor a little longer!

 

[Zenwarrior]

The 959 engine swaps might be the answer for turbo porsches, if only we can have turbo corvettes now

 

[Touring Mars]

I got the Nissan Silvia S15 engine - should I put it in the Fairlady Z432 '69 or the Silvia S13 Ks '90? Guessing the latter is more fun?

 

[p78]

They are both fun swaps. However the other fairlady gets the v8 engine and has a six speed wich makes it more fun (to me)

 

[Zenwarrior]

The porsche 356a and cayman gt4 literally save the update for me. Such fun swaps. 356a become a little monster and cayman gt4 become a literal monster 😂

 

[cvjoint]

All these new expensive swaps and the Porsche lottery got me the Rx7 engine. Whoever rigged the roulette is damaged goods. Back to the grind.

 

[MUC76]

Oh no I only have one 356.

Perhaps not such a problem. The car has no downforce with the exception of the additional weight of the engine 😅

 

[RCKakashi14]

997 GT3 passes the Le Mans endurance with flying colors.

(Mind you, I haven't even turbocharged it. I want that Cup Car feel).

The swapped Cayman is a genuine MONSTER. It really needs to be seen to be believed.

At Monza I had to brake almost 300 metres before the first corner because it's just that fast in a straight line. This was fully tuned by the way at 1,083KG and 1,401HP, which I believe makes it the road car power to weight king. Only the Tomahawk X accelerates faster. It's absolute insanity.

 

[mcsqueegy]

Did a speed run in the '56 Porsche Carrera with the new swap, and it's surprisingly fast at 278mph/447km/h:



The other 3 swaps all hit well over 400km/h for anyone wondering:
911 Carrera RS '92: 442km/h or 274mph
911 GT3 '09: 435km/h or 270mph
911 Carrera RS '73: 418km/h or 260mph

This was fully tuned by the way at 1,083KG and 1,401HP, which I believe makes it the road car power to weight king.

The Chiron is higher, but it's the only one. Surprisingly the Silvia S13 is not in third place, but rather the Nissan 240ZG '71 just edges it.

 

[ScottPuss20]

The Chiron is higher, but it's the only one.

I'm not convinced because you can only get it down to what, 1,500 KG?
