Maybe this happened in FM5 and I didn't notice. (Barely played 5) but I was building a 1988 M5 today and I have 3 choices. 3.2l Inline 6, so the engine from a more modern M3 so far so predictable, next one 5.7l v8...so wait a minute an LS7? OK that's pretty cool...and finally 2.6l inline twin turbo...that can't be an RB 26 in a BMW? But test drove it and it is! Obviously for licensing reasons they aren't specified but the sound is identical to the in game R34.

Madness! Driving an old M5 to the sound of the fast and furious...

I have noticed also that there are more engine swaps between manufacturers (even if it doesn't say the engine manufacturers name) I have the 2.6 4 rotor from the mazda 787b in my bmw 235i, sounds crazy lol

It might be an idea to put a list together as to what can be fitted to what once the game is out.

I think they started this in FM5 (played it and was surprised too)
it's amazing this way :)

Can't you pin this to the top? Thanks for the info :-)

That last one (5.9 V8) I want to say it's a ford motor (nascar maybe) based on FM4

Heres some info on this motor. Theres a match for it in Forza 5.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/...a-motorsport-5/70084660.

My guess is this is an error that needs to be corrected. The specs match a Carrera 997 3.8L engine specs but the game says its a 3.0L. It may be to protect its identity so Porsche doesnt sue?

here in this link you can see the 997 engine is 355 hp and 295 trq and its a 3.8L. Whatever the case, this engine is definitely a Porsche engine. or variant.

^Scroll down to 2005-2012 997 Generation.

This engine must be from the Ford Fiesta RS WRC car. the specs match pretty close.

This is the Ford Nascar motor.

Has any one made an Engine swap list like the one in the Forza 5 forums?

Any chance we could get the max available power for each engine listed? The engine swap list for Forza 5 had it, and it was quite helpful when deciding between engines for max power builds.

Max power is on the To Do list (which is still pretty long)

"325 hp / 350 torque 5.7L V8 (Chevy Corvette '02)"

This power rating is for the LS1s used in F-Body Camaros and Trans Ams, not Corvettes.

Great list guys. I personally wish we had the brand specific engine swaps. Back from previous ones

I support the sentiment but the word wish appears in the statement, therefore should be in the wish list.

Best to keep this thread clean and hope it gets stickied once a technical / tuner sub forum appears?

Great list as always. Can you direct me to a complete list of cars in FM6? I always use your list to copy/past the cars in my tune list.

Thanks

Thanks for this list

I've been testing with this engine quite a bit now, and for some cars it is rather obvious choice, for some cars not so much, all in all, it's great engine, but not the "use or lose" engine as it used to be in FM5.

I'd say it will be much used swap in FM6 but there will be just as fast, or even faster cars without it.

To me it feels like 1.6 rally turbo has similar story, but I haven't really tested it out yet.

What Happens when you do an Engine swap?
I'm a nooB to the game.

Can the supra engine be swapped into anything? Just curious if anybody has ventured out in a similar curiosity.

5.9L is 360 c.i. This is a Chrysler engine put into production in the early '70's after they discontinued the 340c.i. I have 2 Dodge trucks, a '83 2WD and a '00 4X4 both have the 5.9 although we still called it a 360 back in '83. Although, I highly doubt there would be much Chrysler left in an engine with a 5.9L displacement producing 850 HP. They are capable of it, after being bored and stroked to somewhere north of 400 c.i.

I did the 5.7 swap in the only mopar it's offered in (70 Challenger) and if there's a combination to make it perform better than the car with the Hemi in it, I sure didn't find it. I'm glad we still have the option to use it in some cars but even more glad that it's not a " use it or lose" choice. So far, my dealings with the 1.6 are about the same. Both the 95 eclipse and the Eagle Talon( B class) seem to be faster without it. It does seem to be the engine of choice in the Evo but, I've not really played with that car too much being the B lobbies seem to have plenty of them already.
