Don't put the horse before the cart.Hi all,
as it seems to be real that engine swaps are available in GT7 I would like to open a theard for discussions, tips and tricks. Besides... first!

PD aren't like that. That sounds like some Need For Speed shenanigans to me...My theory is...
If you tune your car much (buy and install engine parts) the game will change the engine model.
For example if you have GR86 buy all the engine upgrades the game will change the engine model from 2,4L boxer to 2JZ 🤔
I’d actually be ok with that. It might end up being a bit like the old ‘unicorn’ black prototypes back in the day.Jimmy Broadbent's stream today, he did a modified race in a mini and there was an FD on the grid with what sounded like a 4 rotor in it.. first swapped car we've seen outside of the beetle I think.
Can't timestamp until the stream has ended..
It didn't sound like a 4 rotor to me. And it certainly wasn't as fast as a 4 rotor would've been.Jimmy Broadbent's stream today, he did a modified race in a mini and there was an FD on the grid with what sounded like a 4 rotor in it.. first swapped car we've seen outside of the beetle I think.

uhhhh that sounds the opposite of Need for Speed shenanigans. In need for speed you can choose your engines to swap to.PD aren't like that. That sounds like some Need For Speed shenanigans to me...
At least, I sure as hell hope that isn't the case...

Definitely agree it sounds like a 4 rotor. (5:00:50)
That race is also notable because the AI seems rather good
edit: you can see the RX-7 has some serious straight line speed/power at 5:10:05, and it really does sound like a 4 rotor.
No screenshots, but Reddit user TheSluagh has confirmed the rumour about engine swaps being a one use item you can win from roulettes:
If you go to your parts menu in garage it should show what cars it is compatible withI just won a 2JZ-GTE motor. Will update when I look for potential cars to fit it in.
It only says 2JZ-GTE-Supra. It says "if matched with a compatible car, this engine can even replace a different stock engine originally equipped on the car" but no list of cars compatible with it..If you go to your parts menu in garage it should show what cars it is compatible with
Factos, it only makes it more special, and prevents the feature from becoming overused like on the last few Forza Motorsport games, where you could have a lot of people running the best engines on different (kinda useless) chassis. Certain Engines would be meta, in this case it will take some time before people have them
Has anyone with the game, checked the Beetle to see if that Porsche engine is available somewhere? Given that it was the only car so far with an engine swap "confirmed".
