Beta mkv 3.6L I6 Performance Restomod for Ibishu Hopper 2.0

Give your Ibishu Hopper a new character with the mkv 3.6L I6 Performance Restomod—a standalone engine option that leaves the factory 4.0L untouched.

The standard configuration targets 280 hp and 450 Nm, with a curated selection of upgrades:

• Performance camshafts, lightweight pistons, and high-RPM supporting hardware
  
  
• Stage 1 and Stage 2 ECUs, including a Stage 2 backfire variant with lift-off crackles
  
  
• Upgraded HPFP/LPFP, intake manifold, and drop-in filter
  
  
• Stock, sport, and race exhausts, plus a performance downpipe
  
  
• Heavy-duty six-speed manual or rapid-shift eight-speed automatic
  
  
• Stage 1 and Stage 2 TCUs, with a lightweight automatic converter for quicker RPM response
  
  
• A different, screamier exhaust note using BeamNG’s built-in audio
  

Stage 2 raises the limiter to 8,500 RPM, with power curves designed to keep pulling through the top end. Install the reinforced internals first because running stock internals above 8,000 RPM can trigger catastrophic engine failure.

All custom parts carry the mkv name for easy identification. The mod retains the Hopper’s factory appearance, with changes focused on powertrain behavior and sound.

Installation: Place mkv.zip in your BeamNG user folder’s mods directory, restart the game, and select mkv 3.6L I6 Performance Restomod in the Hopper’s engine slot.

More mkv performance upgrades are planned for future updates—stay tuned!
