Upgrading and Tuning
Buy Upgrades
Improve your car with a high-performance engine, drivetrain, chassis, and
bodywork components. Add, remove, or sell parts from your car that you’ve
already purchased (note: when you sell parts, you won’t earn back the original
purchase price). Upgrading a vehicle might move it out of its current car class;
when this happens, you can uninstall parts if you want to return to a lower
car class.
Engine and Power
– Engines make power by burning a fuel and air mixture.
To make more power, you must improve the engine’s ability to breathe and
thus burn more fuel. To improve breathing in
Forza Motorsport, intake and
exhaust upgrades reduce restrictions on air flow into and exhaust flow out
of the engine; fuel and ignition upgrades supply higher fuel flow and a hotter
spark for better combustion efficiency; and turbo and supercharger upgrades
force more air into the engine.
Appearance and Aero
– Customize your car’s appearance to transform a
generic car into
your car. Add front and rear spoilers and side-skirts to
reduce wind drag, while increasing grip through higher downforce. Reduce
weight with a carbon-fiber hood.
Chassis and Drivetrain
– The chassis is the structure to which the body,
engine, drivetrain, wheels, tires, and even passengers attach. This structure
affects handling—how well a car grips the road and how accurately it
responds to driver inputs. Improve the chassis by modifying the suspension
and stiffening and lightening the structure. The drivetrain transmits the
power of the engine into motion at the wheels and the energy of motion
into heat at the brakes and tires. Improve the efficiency, accuracy, and
flexibility of the drivetrain by upgrading the transmission, clutch, brakes,
differential(s), wheels, and tires.
When installing and uninstalling parts, you’ll see the following icons:
You own this part, but it isn’t installed.
You own this part, and it is installed currently.
Additionally, as you select parts for your vehicle, you can see that each part
has up to three different levels above the stock part:
Modified Part
- This is an improvement over the stock setup.
Clubsport Part
- This is an improvement over the modified setup.
Professional Part
- This is the most advanced improvement for this
setup and is designed for all-out racing.
The
Buy Upgrades
area contains matched upgrade kits that are designed to improve
your vehicle’s performance. These kits will always improve your performance, and
combinations of upgrade kits will show even greater improvement. You don’t run the risk of
decreasing vehicle performance when buying and installing upgrades. However, tuning changes
made to your car in the
Tune Car Setup
area can affect performance adversely if done incorrectly.
