A very helpful/useful guide for OverDrift Festival – How to swap Real Engine

This guide provides the real names of the engines, their images, and some information about them (sofar) in the engine switch menu. Please correct any errors as I am not an expert on engines. I have left out some information for some engines, as there are so many variations IRL of the same engine that it is difficult to know which engine is represented in-game. Some images may also be tuned engines.

This guide will not help you with gameplay and is only meant to give you an idea of the engines in case you are curious. It’s more of a database rather than a guide.

Conclusion

I left out some stuff for certain engines because the names are vague and don’t specify. For example, the real-life 1JZ comes in 3 variants.

This is my first guide, so it’s probably not very good. But I hope it was helpful if you were trying to swap the engine in your car or do a “realistic-looking” swap. Unfortunately, an engine swap does not seem to affect horsepower at this time. Maybe they will add this in a future version. If they add new engines, I’ll update this list as quickly as I can. Please let me know if I got anything wrong.
