I did the swap on the 92 NSX, but I couldn't find a configuration that worked well there. With this nurburgring setup of yours, wow!!! Glad I subscribed to your channel! I'm going to try the mini one with the Type R engine now. Thanks a lot!
Seeing videos like these got me thinking about the future of GT, I hope they deepen the customisation of tuning, Which they probably will Drivetrain swaps next. But for that, a whole new physics engine will have to be implemented
Borrowed your suspension setting ideas from this to my Honda S2000. Immediately shaved off nearly 2 seconds from lap time at Watkings Glen. Thanks, you're a Gem!
I've tried this engine swap also, and immediately turned my NA2 NSX Type R into a ultimate beast. Be prepared for extra effort to handle its wildness. Also, this is can also be used on World Touring Car 700 at Circuit de la Sarthe, so this beast is also moneymaker.
Not gonna lie that sounds amazing. I thought i was the only one who knew stickers add horsepower!!! Did you know if you change the winter air out of your tires and add high octane indicator fluid you can get an additional 100hp? That burp at the end was the best! 7 outta 10!
@@argapadan42 I really want to read up the reason the GT race version uses an inline-4 instead of the V6. I wonder if the reason is strictly economical as Honda has probably a lot more R&D spent on inline-4 for production racing.
@@typingreallyfast There were regulation changes in 2014 back then when Super GT had tie-up racing car specification with DTM. Also, Super Formula in 2013 already had a car which was already 5 years old (Swift 017.n or Swift SF13 since the series was rebranded from "Formula Nippon" to "Super Formula"). With such needs, inline-4 engine should suits the most for both of the racing series, and Honda & Toyota only have to develop a single engine. The engine spec formula is called : Nippon Race Engine (NRE). Since 2010, Toyota & Honda used same engine (with different state of tune) for Super GT and Super Formula (3400cc V8) and new regulations in 2014 also maintained the same condition. For Nissan's case, Nissan only developed the engine for Super GT.
I got Focus RS with 5.2l V8 with super charger bolted with every tuning part I could find. I just cannot get it to drive predictably. I would love to see you tame that
I've driven it once or twice before and don't remember it being too bad? What problem are you having with it? If it's oversteering under braking you can increase the braking sensitivity on the LSD settings. Reducing front downforce slightly will make it less twitchy at high speeds too.
I thought about the Pantera, but honestly it's pretty damn perfect. Obviously needs a few tweaks but compared to the cars I've tried out so far (or even the Mangusta) it feels like it's on rails. I do have a hot-lap series where I test out lots of cars, and have featured the Pantera, with a set-up at the end. That was before Update 1.49 but the basics should still work.
@@fossilfueled27 it does handle pretty darn well for an old MR car with a big V8. I had the same wheel arch problem with it after the update, but even with the frequency turned way up, it would still dart into the nearest wall with g-outs and some of the rougher flat corners (like the big right sweeper on Autopolis). Raising the ride height a bit did seem to fix that problem, but also seemed to induce some pretty bad understeer on faster corner exits. I’ve adapted a bit by cornering deeper and hitting the apex late to straighten the car up on those troublesome corners. I’ll try playing with toe and diff settings, as it’s an excellent 700PP car, but a I think it could be better still.
Engine swapped 997 GT3 @ 800pp. Used to be competitive in all 800pp events on RMs and one of my favourite builds. RUINED by the new physics especially in the wet.
Their help sections say the same sort of thing, I think they just overcomplicate it - I've tried to simplify it mainly so it doesn't pad out the video too much. I want to give good advice but not if it takes 20 minutes of talking.
@fossilfueled27 I'm pretty sure I've never read a description like yours. I personally know what a diff is and how it works-from a single spinner to a locker- but the GT7 description (and this is only going from memory- talks about the amount of torque under acceleration, not explaining HOW it does it. This would give punters a better visualization of what is happening and how it can change how a car drives. A random figure from 5-60 just suggests "more or less" with the detail of the how.

solid work tuning the NSX, look forward to trying it later. request: Silvia Q with LS7-BRZ engine
i have a 88 silva 1232 hp no assist tune if you want it.
For some reason I haven’t used the NSX’s much, but after trying this set up it’s One of my favourite cars, much appreciated Thanks!

83 VW golf motor swap ... And great job with the NSX... I know these can be brutal to do...
I love the Golf the the Quattro engine, absolute hoot. It's on the list :)
+800 hp from a two liter...
it's the engine which are also used in Super Formula cars as well, often regarded as Japan's Formula 2.

Love the new theme for the series, can you do the Mitsubishi 3000gt with the pikes peak engine next!
Fossil the 959 fully upgraded is an absolute beast maybe you could do a vid on taming that next?😮
Please keep making these
Nice job

That's pretty much is the problem. I am not familiar with LSD settings so need to find a good YT video about it.
Just want to say im enjoying the helpful vids and the credit grind vid from before. Appreciate the time and effort you put in! Subscribed 🫡
Requests? Well, BMW M3 E46 with V8, obviously
It's not a monster taming video, but I have already tamed it here:
ua-cam.com/video/fdpBK9N1Q30/v-deo.html
Engine swapped Lamborghini Countach maybe?? 😁
How about the De Tomaso Pantera? Your C4 video gave me a few tweaks to try, and they worked pretty well!

Like deployed.
How is it your description of what the diff settings do is soooooo much easier to comprehend than what PD churns out?

Great taming😊
Can you tame plymouth superbird?
No one can 😂
Could you tame the 400R, the Countach and RX7 FC?
I'll add them to the list - the next video will be on either the Plymouth Superbird or Golf Mk I GTi though
