Engine swaps are a core CPM 2 feature — the official feature list confirms replaceable engines, turbochargers, gearboxes, and exhausts. Swaps happen in the garage engine/tuning menu.

What you can swap

  • Engine — the big power jump (e.g., the M838T in a Scirocco)
  • Turbocharger / supercharger — turbos suit longer pulls; superchargers suit short drag runs
  • Gearbox + clutch — see gearbox settings
  • Exhaust — affects sound as much as performance (relevant for builds like the BMW E92 M3 sound chase)

A creator-reported swap: the Scirocco

A documented community drag build turns the ~18,000-cash VW Scirocco into a supercar killer:

| Part | Choice | | --- | --- | | Engine | M838T | | Forced induction | Supercharger | | Gearbox | ZF4HP22 | | Clutch | Stage 3 | | Fuel | E85 | | Wheels/tires | Adjusted sizes |

Result: 6.5–6.7 seconds on the drag strip. A tuned cheap car with a swap beats many stock supercars — and some builders deliberately de-power to stay in a lower drag class.

The W16 engine (read before buying)

  • The W16 — the Bugatti-style 16-cylinder — is locked behind a one-off real-money purchase via the unlock button in the engine list.
  • The unlock is account-wide: one demo showed it working across multiple cars on the same account, with one build reading 1,695 hp.
  • There is no official compatibility list — check the engine menu on each car.
  • Ignore "free W16" videos: they involve modified clients and edited game files, and trade the unlock for account risk. See mod APK risks.

After the swap

Re-tune gear ratios, re-check fuel (E85), and dyno the car. Then go win back the cost in drag events.

FAQ

How do I unlock the W16 engine in CPM 2?

The W16 is a one-off real-money purchase from the engine list. Once unlocked it works account-wide across multiple compatible cars — one documented demo build read 1,695 hp.

Can any engine go in any car in CPM 2?

No. There is no official compatibility list, so check which engines your car accepts in the garage engine menu before spending.
