Gran Turismo 7 is the first entry in the long-running series to introduce engine swapping, a mechanic that allows players to use different engines on their cars. This results in changes in driving profiles and in how the cars perform on the road. Players can swap engines as long as they have compatible engines on hand. This guide will let you know how engine swaps work and which cars are compatible with what engine.
How Do Engine Swaps Work In Gran Turismo 7?
Engines can be acquired using Roulette Tickets, which are earned while playing the game. Players can’t pick and choose, however, as engines are randomly awarded.
Every car in Gran Turismo 7 is compatible with at least one or two engines other than its own. The Parts section of My Garage will show you the engines and parts that you have collected, and will also indicate whether a certain engine in your inventory is compatible with your cars. Change into a compatible vehicle, then swap its engine in My Garage.

Engine Swapping Reminders
Here are some things you need to consider before swapping your cars’ engines:
- Engine swapping is permanent — you will never be able to undo the engine swap once it’s done.
- Tuning, after swapping engines, is also permanent. You cannot revert settings back to how they were once the engine has been tuned at the tuning shop.
- Swapping engines will affect your cars’ Performance Points value, and may render them unusable for certain events.
That’s all you need to know about Engine Swap compatibility in Gran Turismo 7. Make sure to swap engines only if you have other cars to use for certain events. You can read a full review of Gran Turismo 7 here at Operation Sports.
