can you change engine parts? Turbo to Supercharged etc. somehow?

[Fachkraft für Hochseelogistik]

Or can you put a v8 in a stock v6 car? for example

my main problem is i want to change the normal compressed v8 to a v8 supercharged but i only can build in the exact same parts as before. but there are stock versions of a v8 supercharged too so i wonder why you cant change it.

sorry for bad english :)

no unless you mod it with the editor the devs have engine swaps in the gmae but havnt let us use it yet

Engine swap is propably the most requested feature.

It is actually a bit more complicated than it sounds. A simple V8 to V8 Supercharged or i4 to i4 turbo is pretty easy, but a more substantial change like i6 to V8 OHV means that besides the engine, the front-end & suspension and exhaust systems need to change too. Depending on driven axle configuration rear-end possibly too.

So while they figure out how to implement that (strip down to chassis to enable swapping?), we'll have to wait. Iirc CMS15 only had limited change options with the dlc (adding supercharger or turbo). Been a while, don't remember exactly.

Cms 2015 had real limited engine swap options. Such as DOHC I4 to turbo dohc i4, ohv v8 to supercharged ohv v8

Yup, just as I remember, but not exactly what everyone wishes now is it.

But, as I said, A LOT of work to go over all (standard) cars to see which engine/suspension/exhaust combinations are possible for each car and then implement some kind of swapping system... Everyone who has messed with the editor knows it is not easy to get it all to fit in WITHOUT clipping issues.

You're preaching to the choir with that. I know all too well how annoying it can be fitting things in the editor
