Gran Turismo 7 Engine Swap Compatibility

[Haitauer]

Didn't realise that they had gone with that one, that's especially disappointing.

Just completely overshot into the realm of utterly pointless.

Just realized how bad the rest of the new swaps are.. it seems there is a 13 year old boy in charge of engine swaps in PDI. 🤣 Makes no sense what so ever.

There's 1 guy at PD who loves drifting, unfortunately he's in charge of the engine swap spreadsheet.

・Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce '67 | K24A-Civic
・Audi R8 Coupé V10 plus '16 | 8.0-WR16-64v4T-Chiron
・Autobianchi A112 Abarth '85 | K24A-Civic
・Dodge Challenger SRT Demon '18 | 8.0-WR16-64v4T-Chiron
・Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR GSR '04 | LS7-BRZ
・Nissan GT-R Premium edition T-spec '24 | 8.0-WR16-64v4T-Chiron
・Porsche 911 GT3 RS (991) '16 | DKH-911
・Subaru WRX STI Type S '14 | DKH-911
・Suzuki Jimny Sierra JC '18 | K24A-Civic
・Volvo 240 SE Estate '93 | LS7-BRZ

Where's DKH-911 from? Did we get a new engine?

Yes, it's from the new 992 Turbo S.

Yeah, not impressed with the Volvo swap. Still, no swap for the RS 500.

I can't wait for the RS500 to get the BRZ-LS7 next month.

Maybe just maybe someone will think, Hey we still have the V8-Ford-GT-LM-Test engine.
Maybe that would be nice for a Touring Car.

 

[Normalaatsra]

Would be great if swappable engines of the same make but from a different donor are added at the same time. Particularly in regard to the LS7 swap where the BRZ donor is favoured over the Corvette. Another case, cars with the RCR K24 option should get the FK8 K24 available too and vice versa.

Or has that been discontinued with the arrival of the FL5 Type R?

I'd preferred the GTAM engine instead of the K24 , in real life there is a Ferrari (V8) swapped Giulia sprint ..

First post updated!

The fuel wear mind in me prefers the Alfa 2.5 V6 DTM engine.

A general question: once a car is engine-swapped, there is - with one exception - no way to revert back to the original engine, is this correct?

The exception is when the car's original engine is a swappable engine itself and you have said engine available in your garage as a tuning part. In any other case you are stuck with the swapped engine.

Either that or someone obsessed with crazy horsepower. I hardly ever touch the swaps to be honest now.

Indeed, the K24 in the Giulia Sprint makes no sense and it's just JDM fanboy material.

 

[ROCKET JOE]

Is it correct that we currently have 5 cars that can have two different swap engines ?

 

[AXL_EXE]

I would go for a non-turbocharged Alfa V6 for the Giulia myself, but sadly that isn't in the game.

The swap that makes least sense to me, this update, is challenger demon with chiron engine. Challenger is already a 1000+hp monster. Why does it need a chiron engine? Maybe a gr3 engine swap instead?

 

[Obelisk]

The 240 getting the LS doesn't surprise me, but it is a welcome buff to the brick.

 

[Eggstor]

Yes, it's from the new 992 Turbo S.

I believe that's the first time a new car has been a donor.

YES! Now that would make sense.

Either that or someone obsessed with crazy horsepower. I hardly ever touch the swaps to be honest now.

If only they would let us tune them ourselves to those crazy hp if we wish.

Yes - this is stupid SEMA show-off combo.

..just that it is the wrong "LS".

correct.

without your comment I wouldnt even have noticed.
I never thought about how to select both when there only is a single overly huge button for "the option".

When you click the first engine swap button in GT Auto, it will let you choose which engine to buy and install.

 

[V8 Hilux]

Agree with the sentiment that this batch of swaps are a bit meh... Chiron engine is unusable in any fueled race. Was hoping the Volvo swap would make a good BTCC model, but not that BRZ thing... 😮‍💨 at least we got a new engine this time and the total swaps is the highest I belive for any update.

+1 for the spreadsheet crew! 🤓

 

[Strax]

Ugh, don't like this at all!

Alfa 155 DTM's engine? It's a 2.5 NA V6.
