Question:

How would we go about opening up the engine swap options for a car? Trying to get the supercharged V8 with the roots style blower on the Nova look alike

Answer:

1. Go to the installation directory of Car Mechanic Simulator 2021. By default, it can be found here:

   steamlibary/steamapps/common/carmechanicsimulator2021/Car Mechanic Simulator 2021_Data/StreamingAssets/Cars/BoltSupernova

2. Open config.txt using any text editor.
3. Scroll down to [6_engine] then on the fourth line add the following codes:

   swapoptions=engine_v8,engine_v8_scharged,engine_v8_coyote,engine_v8_f350,engine_v8_scharged,engine_el_rd0,engine_el_vw0,engine_v8_stary,engine_v8_stary_2carb,engine_v8_hemi,engine_v8_magnum,engine_v8_sixpack,engine_v8_289,engine_v8_429,engine_v8_mod,engine_v8zz,engine_v8_4x4,engine_v8_ls3,engine_v6_38n,engine_v6_37n_2,engine_r6_240z,engine_r4_sr20,engine_v6_30_rwd,engine_r4_sohc,engine_i4,engine_r4,engine_r4_turbo,engine_i3,engine_i3_turbo,engine_r4_sohc_wzdluzny,engine_v12_2,engine_r4_sohc_4x4,engine_el_r240,engine_r6_2jz,engine_r6_2jz_t,engine_i6_old

4. Save changes and launch the game.

These changes will allow you to swap every engine in the game. But please note that some engines won’t have the correct orientation such as the i6 motors.

In addition to the code above, you can also try the following list for the supercharged 2 carb setup:

swapoptions=engine_v8,engine_v8_scharged,engine_v8_coyote,engine_v8_f350,engine_v8_scharged,engine_el_rd0,engine_el_vw0,engine_v8_stary,engine_v8_stary_2carb,engine_v8_stary_scharged,engine_v8_hemi,engine_v8_magnum,engine_v8_sixpack,engine_v8_289,engine_v8_429,engine_v8_mod,engine_v8zz,engine_v8_4x4,engine_v8_ls3,engine_v6_38n,engine_v6_37n_2,engine_r6_240z,engine_r4_sr20,engine_v6_30_rwd,engine_r4_sohc,engine_i4,engine_r4,engine_r4_turbo,engine_i3,engine_i3_turbo,engine_r4_sohc_wzdluzny,engine_v12_2,engine_r4_sohc_4x4,engine_el_r240,engine_r6_2jz,engine_r6_2jz_t,engine_i6_old
