Best and worst engine swaps?

nsx'92 with engine swap turns it into a well rounded 700 pp car lasts a long time on fuel even on fm1 and light.

Well, that would mean that the info here on the forums, the info on this page and the info in my game are wrong.

Not sure if you're trolling or what's going on here, so I wait for you to provide some proof for a 22B Porsche swap.

No i was mistaken there it is the '04 wrx/ sti. I have installed the engine but have yet to test r tune. Sorry about that.

No problem. People reporting back to say "Sorry, I was wrong" is quite rare nowadays, so 👍 for this!

The '92 NSX is one of my top 5 engine swap models. It makes a very good 700pp car for Le Mans. Mine is on Racing Medium tyres and it can do 4 laps of flat out racing without any fuel saving strategy. 3.57 lap times easy. For me it is a much better option than the '02 model.

Best engine swap?


Personally for me, it's the DKH-911 (992 Turbo S engine) in the 992 GT3 RS. It complements the car's massive downforce very well. Perfect for getting out of corners even on low to mid rpm while taking advantage of its superior traction and cornering capability.

Worst one for me is the Chiron engine on any FR chassis. Like seriously, who thought that it's a great idea to shoehorn a massive engine on the front end then the massive power overwhelming the rear wheels?

I get that there are players who host drag lobbies, but the car and engine assets of the game are severely underutilized.

two of my 600 pp engine swaps is the lancer evo '96 and the a 45 AMG

I wonder if the worst swap in general is the Escudo engine, if only because of the turbo lag and how both cars that can receive it each have a superior engine swap option? I don't even know if a strong anti-lag can help that much with this particular engine, bad in the Evo because its a 5 speed gearbox.

The decision to allow such a peaky engine be used in a car with only 5 gears really sums up PD and the odd choices they make.

Some of the engines swaps are inspired, the V12 AMG engine in that Crown has quickly become one of my favourites mainly because its a good amount of power and torque without locking you into a racing exhaust.

I'd be willing to forgive the escudo swaps if PD give us a nice 'base' V8 swap for some of the older rwd cars. Sierra, Silvia, MX5, E30, 190e etc would be absolute nectar with say a 5.0 300bhp 300lb/ft base level to jump off.

What I will say about the Chiron swap: there are several recipients that did not have access to high horsepower and/or turbocharging. This, the BRZ LS7 & the GAC swap specifically allow for some neat builds that replicate real tuned versions of certain cars.
