I have a widebody M3 with the E90 V10 in it.. Glorious.
First I put the Ford GT chassis under it, which looked great. Then I found the Murcielago is even wider and fit well, so I put it under the M3 - which unfortunately made it handle like a bull
Not true, it's just very hard to do..
It takes about 5 other inputs to make it work. Example, a friend I make a lot of cars with has a FT86-II concept with a BMW V12 LMR pairs with the Bugatti Veyrons quad-turbo system on it. Far from realistic I know, but it proves that it can be done..
A Supercharger on a NASCAR V8 also works

Turbo'd engine in a non-turbo'd car (stock) doesn't work. And vice versa.

Just tried a WRX engine in a BRZ and the sound is all screwed up.
I just did the same, make sure you have NO EXHAUST mods on the car, stock exhaust, then the sound works fine (It did for me) 👍Turbo'd engine in a non-turbo'd car (stock) doesn't work. And vice versa.

Both cars? Or just the destination car?

Car had no exhaust, bone stock. I had sound but it was muted and the boxer burble was missing.

Destination car cannot have exhaust mods, yet if that isn't working then do the opposite and apply an aftermarket exhaust. Both methods have gotten my cars to work everytime.

All I want is the stock exhaust sound from the donor engine. If all I can have are different sounds from the aftermarket exhaust, then I'm not even gonna bother.

Just make sure the donor was a stock WRX exhaust (I've found the hatchback one gives less issues for some reason) and the new car has stock exhaust as well.

Both cars are bone stock. I have the codes for the hatch and the coupe. For some reason I couldn't get the hatchback engine to work in my '05 STi, so I used the coupe and it worked. Used the coupe engine on the BRZ, didn't work. Maybe I'll try the hatchback tonight.

It can be done, it just takes about 10 times more work and knowing what you're doing. If you can get on with us sometime we'll try and get the info from the guy who knows how.
Like Mitch said, he knows how to swap turbos from one engine to another, and get the sounds working properly.

Think I am going to be making a Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Balboni today..
While I'm at it, an FIA Lambo will probably see some day light
Meet up with us all, we have a pretty good group of guys with really clever engine swaps and chassis replacements. None of which are as cool as my widebody M3 aha

Either that or a Lounge, want me to add you right now?
I just made an Underground Racing Twin Turbo Gallardo (1500hp)
Also just made a 1200hp UGR TT-Aventador, it's funny, the performance specs in real life are faster than the one in the game, need to get tuning.

I'll post some pics of my cars tomorrow, might make a review and start YouTubing as well
C'mon dude this isn't a "Build a car workshop" thread... This is us showing what we've made.
I'm sure you can find some guys online willing to help...

Just thought I'd ask here, where most of the modders are.
And I think most of you have better reputation then some random dude of the PSN.

I just got into hybriding and I'm going to start off with the RMs. Like Mat123, I want to give the Cappuccino more power. Somewhere in the 300HP range sounds nice. Then I'm going to work on the NSX RM, which I also think is underpowered.
