Did say "Pre-Alpha" for a reason. On-Topic. Sorry for lack of updates, been dealing with windows problems, and a crisis with a friend of mine.
Looks like someone has never seen a 240sx V8 swap. Plenty of people do it. An I4 in a grand marshal is what you call stupid.
Rather do a supercharged V6 as it makes more sense. --- Post updated --- I never said nobody does V8 swaps in JDM cars. I just don't feel it's necessary to make that many engine swaps for something that'll just be way too overpowered when that wasn't the original plan for this mod, no need to jump to conclusions. ------------------------------Important Message------------------------------ I'm getting so sick of churning out ideas and having everyone ask me to cater to their every whim. This is a personal project, I had a plan and now it's getting more and more bloated, I'm still trying to figure out how to do all this work reasonably, design it in a way that makes it easy to install to your desired vehicles and how different I should make engine swaps like multiple different displacement engines with actual different models, diesel models for diesel specific engines or to just carbon copy the petrol model... ect. The more engines the more work, the more cars the more work, the more engines in every car as opposed to select engines in select cars needs balance for the amount of work that'll be required to make this happened. Then when I say that something is an unnecessary amount of work for the original idea and isn't really necessary I just get told "OH people do it in real life, just because it's dumb you should do it because someone out there in some obscure tuning job actually engine swapped from a large v8 to an i4 or an i4 to a superchraged v8" even when I never said nobody does that, just that it is dumb and isn't really the direction I wanted to go in. Dumb mods detour from the original vision and quickly convolute the project. Increasing the work for this high effort project into something that'll be used by an obscure crowd of people for a very small amount of time isn't the return I'm looking for, and these mod ideas aren't enjoyable for me. what is would be a turbo charged Diesel I6 for the Pickup =). I don't get joy out of running a 0.6L I3 in a Covet, or a Barstow. I hate to turn people down but over-complicating projects is what leads to no project at all for people not looking to put more then a few months into a project or less. I also need to figure out how to texture the engines efficiently and effectively with all these different potential model "Skus"
I have some mod from here with ETK K-series with twin turbo v12 and complete mesh. As well, in real life someone put v12 in shelby cobra so you know, everything is possible.
That's a shelby they have decent engine bay length.. Plus did you not bother to read the post I wrote that attained to the projects future. --- Post updated --- Didn't read what I said before and am I really suppose to replace a boxer 4 rear engined car into a v12.. there isn't much space for that and I'd really rather not. I don't really plan to do mods for the sbr4 And now someone's gonna say people put v16s in ferraris and v10s in dihatsu midgets.. so I'm done with these... I wanted feedback not a whiteboard to throw ideas at.
Calm down there mate. I'm not saying: "I need V12 for Ibishu Covet right now!1!". What I'm saying is that it has been done in real life and it would be real fun to have it in game, but it is your mod and you do with it whatever you want.
I completely agree. Too often many of the forum members forget that they aren't in charge of the mod. We (I'm guilty of this one as well) also tend to thread-jack and go way too far off-topic. I just hope that it doesn't cause any modders to leave.
Never intended to kill the vibe. Why put a V6 in a covet then? If putting a V8 in a 200BX sounds dumb, then why not a V6 in a Covet. I understand that it is your mod, but doesn't that not sound right? Don't you think a V6 Covet is overpowered? If those engines are overpowered, then what is the point of the mod? I am autistic after all, so explain to me why? and give me a hissy fit while doing so. Im waiting to get bashed but I feel like I need to throw my 99 cents in.
Well if everything I say is a hissy fit then I guess I'll just never say anything because everyone just keeps being so freakin' ridiculous. Anything I say just gets me a smartass or ignorant reaction so screw everything, I clearly didn't make this thread to receive this kind of bs, I'm just always wrong.. I'm wrong for being the creator of this idea. You really wanna know why, because I had a mod for a supercharged V6 that never made it past the alpha phase and was never leaked to the public for the covet... it had all wheel drive and was ridiculous, but I mostly plan to do stuff like a better I6 for the D-15 and a Diesel I6. or a V6 supercharged or Bi-Turbo grandmarshal. If I wanted to make something overkill I'd take the pigoen give it 4 wheels, beefier better suspension and drop a N/A V10 in the back. Go ahead call me a little baby for opening my mouth... I can't do anything without someone saying it's possible. Next someone explain how replacing a boxer engine inside a tiny rear engine bay with a v12 is possible on the SBR4... please. because I'm sure I'm wrong there too. How about making a 2L I3 petrol with no torque for the T75. All I'm saying is I opened a thread for feedback, I didn't open a board room meeting for people to throw shit in the dark hoping something sticks.
I completely agree with you @SkepticalYeroc. This is your mod page, and this is your mod. I threw in a suggestion, and didn't really expect it to be made. I don't believe in putting huge ridiculous engines in small cars. In fact, maybe a supercharged 6 in the covet wouldn't be such a bad idea. it could be quite powerful. Please don't take this post as something sarcastic. I'm just saying that a supercharged V6 would be powerful enough. Thank you for participating with mods for this game, and i hope that this mod does get completed.
Woah woah, hold your horses. I thought you meant universal engines, hence the "engine ecosystem" title. Maybe you should note that this mod is intended to include better engines. No more hissy fits either, it was a joke m8
