@@fossilfueled27, wait until you do the Bug powered Corvette. Which, if you're doing that, you should do the LS Rampage-powered Corvette Gr3 Road car. I call it the LSD Corvette for a reason...
@@ReallyRealColby I've already tried the Chiron Corvette to prep for the next video, and honestly it's pretty tame. Sure it spins its wheels, but its crazily stable

Modest tuning to almost 600 HP! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who feels viper power in a kei car is considered modest 😂 also I'd be remiss if I didn't point out "Brappachino" and "the bearded twit"😂 I'm having flashbacks to Clarkson yelling "I put a V8 in a beach buggy!" Love this video. I too was murdered in my swapped cappuccino a while back.
My final tune had roughly 60kg of ballast added. Too much weight and the brakes suffer, and I didn't find much more weight helped all that much. Usually ballast weight helps best with putting power down and wheelspin, but not necessarily stability at high speeds so much.
@@Interceptor_of_Minds No worries. Usually the cars that benefit most from ballast are high-powered front wheel drives, or muscle cars that typically don't have much weight over the rear axle.
@@Interceptor_of_Minds Usually through testing - I normally prioritise subjective feel over lap time but it depends on the car. The rotary swap MX5 for example only needs about 25-50kg over the rear to get closer to 50/50 weight distribution to help with traction, but the brakes aren't the best with 600hp so too much just hurts the braking. Muscle cars vary, but the Chevelle for example benefits from all 200kg over the rear because it's so front heavy to begin with. A lot of muscle cars also have weirdly good brakes so the added weight doesn't hurt them so much. I'll be making a 'tuning for beginners' video on ballast in the next few weeks to cover it in more detail.
So I've got a couple of builds for you one of which I've not found any body who can get the tune right for it maybe you can oh and it's not the first build, RX-7 Spirit R Type A (FD) 02 with 787B engine swap this is sometimes difficult however the Corvette(C1)1958 with LT5-C7 engine swap and fully upgraded so far it's the only car I'd call unusable.
I've been having a go with the C1 in the background recently, and you're right. It is pretty much undriveable. It desperately needs a rear wing option. Update 1.49 pretty much ruined any last chance of this car being any good, and the performance point warning triangle glitch has only made it worse. The only way this car becomes driveable at places like the nurburgring is to fit less grippy tyres at the front, just like the Superbird. It's pretty much the only car where I'd avoid the engine swap in every situation. Plus, the stock engine sounds awesome.
If a 1.6 litre four-cylinder doesn't fit, a 1.3 litre two-rotor with two turbos, intercooler, and all the pipework wouldn't fit either. Just like a 2.0L turbo wouldn't fit in the original Fiat 500 or original Mini, or a twin-turbo LS wouldn't fit in the DeLorean. GT7 hasn't exactly concerned itself with realism when it comes to engine swaps.
No hamsters in this one. The cocaine just goes in the gas tank and the driver's nose...
Frankly the GTO feels quite calm next to this...

Thanks for this tune! It is a blast to drive. Smiles for me the whole time
YES THANK YOU, I’ve been waiting for this one, thank you thank you, I’m so excited to watch this one please keep making videos for this series!

this guy deserves way more subscribers
this has been my favorite 600 / 700 PP grinder since the engine swap came out
Video description is the exact same as the Escudo GTO video.. 😁
Woops. Thought I'd changed that...
The unmodified swapped engine is 290 hp. Would've been nice to see a tune for that also
I loved it before the update, now it's a bit more difficult to drive and I haven't found the perfect tune yet
Mainly the bumping is a new problem
Mazuki Rotaccino is top notch
Dude thank you for this series it's really interesting. Can you do the Mercedes 190e '91 in one of your next videos?
It won't be for a while, but I'll add it to the next community vote
@@fossilfueled27 Thx man. Have a nice time!
What if you do the same tuning, but with a ballast or without weight reduction? Wouldn't it help with the high-speed stability in this specific case?

@@Interceptor_of_Minds No worries. Usually the cars that benefit most from ballast are high-powered front wheel drives, or muscle cars that typically don't have much weight over the rear axle.
@@fossilfueled27 how do you find the right amount of weight and it's best positioning in these cars?🤔

i think this is the first time i saw a car flipped over in a gran turismo 🤣🤣
Anyway m16a wouldn't fit in this car realistically

game needs more kei cars.
I've been waiting for an Autozam AZ-1 for so long...
@@fossilfueled27 yes and i would like some stupid stuff like the honda acty and suzuki carry :D
Can you make a Fiat 500 engine Swap Video.please
I'll put it in the next vote - but I'll spoil it for you - that thing is a mess 🤣
@@fossilfueled27 thanks
I prefer my coffee strong, black and bitter; just like a good woman.
Could you teach us how to tame the swap engine VW Kombi and VW Beetle...🥹
