I was online last night and heard someone talking about a possible new extra hp glitch. I know the regular, buy new car, chance oil right away, but this goes further. Supposedly after you do this you need to put around 1000 miles on the car (doing only oil changes along the way), them go rebuild your engine and poof you have more then the normal hp, example enzo has 922 hp, would go up to 940ish.
Anyone else heard of this and can confirm or deny the truth?

Thx in advance for any info

My enzo has close to 2000 miles and I have changed oil and such along the way, but nothing has happened.
 
Buy a car run it in with out changing oil. Make sure car is fully tuned then change oil. Now you have more power than any one else unless they also did this.

I heard about this some time ago so I experimented. I tried everything possible and the results were all the same. No way of getting more than normal hp. So, not true, no glitch.

You do realize this isn't a glitch, right?

I thought he was talking about a glitch whee you supposedly wind up with more hp than you do after normal engine break-in but after re-reading his post, he may just be confused about engine break-in.
 
If I understand the question correctly...

NO, there is not a hp bonus for waiting for 1,000 miles before doing an engine overhaul.

I'm pretty sure regardless of when & how you do the oil changes or engine rebuilds, in the end, you will wind up with the appropriate horsepower depending on mileage and current state of oil or engine rebuild need.

Doing the engine rebuild when you don't need it... Well, it tells you it won't give you more hp.
I'm pretty sure it won't penalize your car for doing it early though.
 
Thx watermelonpunch for being the only one to understand and explain, we need more ppl like u, who want to help ppl, not like everyone else just tries to make themselves feel smarter by dissing a valid question. If YOU dont understand what I'm askin, ask me instead of saying stuff like he may just be confused about engine break-in.

I know what I'M talking about, I am VERY fimilar as to how this works. I had the non giftable dlc paint problem sorted before anyone else and before they were released.

My example is this
buy new enzo,change oil, drive 200 miles, change oil = 922hp
The extra glitch is now put 1000 total miles on the car (only changing oil as needed). Once completed this rebuild engine, ur hp could now say 935 hp, 15 more then it's supposed to be.

Thx again watermelonpunch

Perhaps if you work on your grammar skills, people won't be confused about your question. And I don't mean to be rude, but it is true.

I understand that English is a second language for you, but start with using the language as it was taught. Don't try to use short-cuts until you've mastered the basics.
 
Dude, what the hell are you talking about? In my first post, I answered you very politely in the best way that I could. In my second post, I thought maybe I misunderstood your question. In no way was I dissing your question or trying to make myself out to be smarter than you. Furthermore, now that you have pissed me off, maybe if you used proper grammar, we could understand you a little better. Also, go back and read the AUP. Text speak is not allowed here. I did my best in answering your question with the best intentions and you still wanna take a shot at me. Give me a break.

EDIT: Also, if you are so smart at figuring things out, why haven't you tested this out for yourself yet?
As I said in my first post, I have already tried what you are saying and it does not work. No truth to this.

Great googly moogly people cool your jets. :lol:

I've heard people claiming about this so-called engine break-in strategy too. :boggled: :rolleyes:
There's always people pushing some nonsense cheat, real or imagined, possible or just hoped for, in video games.
People come here to this GTPlanet forum to get these myths debunked.
Let's welcome that, and applaud those who have the good sense to try & find out the truth & find out proper information instead of believing & spreading misinformation... even if it takes 20 posts to figure out what the person's asking. Takes no more time than a lot of the other nonsense web surfing everyone's doing. :lol:
 
This kind of reminded me about my break in question a few months ago. I did a quick test with the lfa. I bought two brand new ones and one got an oil change right off the start and the other was left without an oil change. I left both cars stock with an oil change being the only difference. I ran 100 laps on daytona with both and after that both received an oil change. The lfa that did not get an oil change after buying gained 1 more hp than the other.

I am calm, lol. I just didn't take too kindly in him calling me out like that when all I was trying to do was help him and answer his question the way I understood it. Like I said, I heard about this supposed glitch way back last fall sometime. I tested it in various different ways with many different cars. No dice. I also test it after each update and still finding it to be false. So, until someone can come up with evidence to prove otherwise, its just a myth.

I was speaking generally that everyone seemed to get hot under the collar, and I think it comes down to a simple misunderstanding. *sigh* That's the way it goes around here I guess sometimes. haha.

I agree, it's just a myth... But as you can see, others have already posted claiming it's a the real deal ticket to cheat. :boggled: haha
 
speaking of breaking in the car, i ran them without oil change, and by after 180 kms the HP figure starts to increase, an especial pain if you are on PP limited seasonal events, so you would have to tune down the engine a bit to conform to the PP limit
 
When it comes to GT5 any glitch one can imagine is not out of the realms of possibility but I believe this particular one is false.

You are an island of reason in a sea of insanity Punch!!!

Does that mean that when I first started up the 306 I built, I should have changed the oil right afterwards to gain an extra 15hp? Crap. :sly:

Huh-wha?

I'm saying that new, 0 mile cars, are not sold with their full horse power. An oil change on a zero mile car will increase the engine output. It isn't a glitch or bug in the game. It was designed that way.

No, I don't really know why. I don't really care.
 
The oil change isn't a glitch. You're replacing regular dirty oil with top of the line synthetic. More power.
 
Its probably patched but i've herd of a glitch a while ago about oil change everytime you gift the car was increasing hp for no reason. The difference between engine break-in and that glitch is you didn't have to put mileage on the car to change oil, everytime you gifted the car was allowing you to oil change it.
Like I said, its been a while last time I herd about it.
Anyways if you see a glitch thread that is not closed, that means theres no glitch.
Because mods love to glitch I guess.

No truth to that one either. Been there, tried that. Again, no dice.

Did you tried it with an early version? Because i'm pretty sure it was working back when you could trade multiple times per ps3.

I think this is fake. And I can't possibly be engine break-in because it had 1,000 miles on it, when you start to permanently loose some bhp from the engine.

Yes I did. I forget which version it was tho when I heard about it and started trying it, but I know it did not work when a select few said it did. I asked for proof from the few guys claiming it worked and not one of them could. Just another myth. Look, people can say anything they want and thats fine, but if you're (not you personally) going to make a claim on something, at least have the proof to back it up. Otherwise, its just bs.
 
My appologies, I am alittle quick on the attack, it's just I'm getting tired of people coming into rooms, to just purposely be.... we'll say not nice, becauce they are the people that aren't happy unless they are making others feel stupid, so again I appologise. I've been in a forum where a guy was asking for help on tuning for drag racing and a few guys just crapped all over him "Drag racing is stupid, bla bla bla"
and I often jump in to defend. If you don't wanna help, you don't need to enter, IMO
Again thank you watermelonpunch for being what everyone should be like. we are all here because we like the game, lets help each other, no hate.

P.S. watermelonpunch send friend request to VICGTR, i'll send you a ticket or something for being A+ in my books. ;-)

Something tells me that this 937hp that people are talking for an Enzo about is actually bhp. For example I have been in NASCAR rooms where someone outside of the us claims to have 905hp when it's 905bhp. So I will say that this so called glitch is just part of breaking in a car
