I feel that this is currently the most interesting thread on gtplanet.
There's nothing like witnessing the excitement and discovery when a new GT comes out, I'd say I love the community as much as a the games at this point.

Just wanna say thanks to everyone for all the info. I was lucky enough to get the 13B and I've swapped my Miata. It even swap the "rev limiter" beep from the RX7 lol.

Shot in the dark, but can the K-series engine be swapped into the Honda Fit?

Perhaps, but for the purposes of a game, I don't think it's that big of a deal.
So far, the other engine swaps seem to be following the pattern of putting a newer (or larger) engine into the older cars. This goes in direct contradiction of that and the benefits aren't as clear to someone who isn't into rotaries. Might be approaching a slippery slope by saying this but perhaps some things are just a little too nerdy.
I've heard the facelift RX-8s are also a lot less ******. Is there any truth to that at all?

This is such an absurd way to manage an engine swap mechanic.
Obviously I love it.

No. I asked @Jomas to check when he got the K20. Guess it being a hybrid is the reason.

So cool. Anything swappable to or from the S2000?

Thats not the problem. The problem is, to get the particular engine just by "luck". This price roulette thing remembers me on the player roulette with 5-Star agent in PES. You could be lucky to get a black ball (world class player) player, but you might have just bad luck and get a white ball (weakest players) player... same here

If it was the other way round, and engine swaps were as easy as changing paint, there would be a lot more complaints IMO. I think some people just don't want to work for things.Thats not the problem.

Think of engines being tied to the roulette wheel as the same kind of luck as donor cars becoming available in real life, by way of accident or buying a whole car to use the parts. Most of these engines are not crate engines, just waiting to be bought. Adds an element of luck and timing to a swap, as in real life.

I hope there is more than only luck in the wheel.. i have seen in other games by rewards by “luck” that the change to get the best gun/part grows by everytime you spin the wheel (in this case).
So by example first spin motor change is 1% you dont win it, second spin change is 2% etc… (by example!)

Honestly, one of the most anticipated features is locked by some luck game, this has to be changed ASAP, same goes for some other modifications, like weight reduction, and some specific engine parts...
And on top of all, rulette based possibility to buy some of the cars in game that revolves around car collection... Didn't expect this low blow from Kaz and his team...

Well, it can be fixed two ways:
1. when the player buys a new engine for his/her car, the previous engine becomes available to swap into another car (engine in it's stock form). The player still payed for it, when he bought the new engine, so it's not exactly given.
2. make engine exclusive roulettes. A roulette that has always 5 engines, so you are guaranteed one. How frequent would this roulettes show up, I don't know, but either by challenges or a specific daily mileage (let's say, 5 times the distance of the daily workout).
From what we've seen, we can't get V12s on everything, so there's no risk of there being a meta engine for every car or whatever.

Maybe they should implement engine swaps/replacements into the UCD, every now and then a 'donor car' or something could pop up for a limited time.
Or referencing what you said about buying a whole car to use parts, perhaps the ability to buy a car and take it's engine but sacrifice the rest of it to do so.
Whilst I do kind of agree with the notion that it should be a rarity and stuff, at the moment they way the roulette system is, it just isn't really able to shine as a feature for those who want to use. Stands to reason you could never even see an engine to win nevermind actually win one.

Awesome thread, thank you @Famine!
All the swaps except the 2JZ into S15 are logical and to be expected. I especially love the madness of swapping the 787B engine into an RX-7, like whaaaat
Not just the madness of it, the idea that there are unexploded 787B engines just lying around
Very curious to see if these race engines have more customization options than they typically would in their donor cars.

It's less that it's the 787B one in my mind, more that it's a 4 rotor engine (I know it lists it as from the 787B, but still).Not just the madness of it, the idea that there are unexploded 787B engines just lying around

I know a guy building a billet 4 rotor at the mo, so stands to reason the game is kinda offering that instead of the actual 787B engine.
I'm wondering if they'd ever add engines to the list that are from cars that aren't actually in game...? For example the 20B from the eunos Cosmo...

Do you actually know the roll chance of getting one? It could be 1/1000 or 1/25 roulettes, nobody really knows how rare it is right? All I know is quite a few people have already obtained more than one engine swap in the first 2-3 days the game has been out, so to me, it really can't be THAT rare that you would never get one. I imagine that chances are you will have a decent handful of engine swaps once you complete single player.
