1. Access the Upgrade Menu

The first step is finding where you can actually make the swap.

• Drive to a Hub: Take your car to any Horizon Festival Outpost or one of your owned Player Garages.
• Open the Garage Tab: From the main pause menu, select the Garage tab.
• Enter Upgrades: Click on the Upgrades & Tuning tile to open the customization suite.
• Select Custom Upgrade: Choose the Custom Upgrade option to access individual parts manually. This is important because not all upgrades are available in the quick-tune menus.

2. Locate the Conversions Menu

Once you’re in the Custom Upgrade screen, you’ll find a wide array of options. The conversion menu is where the magic happens.

• Find the Conversion Tile: Scroll to the far right of the upgrade categories list.

3. Choose Your Motor or Battery Swap

Now comes the fun part: picking the powertrain that will transform your car.

• Select Engine/Motor Swap: Click the first option to see all available swaps for your car.
• Browse Options: You’ll see everything from traditional internal combustion engines like V8s or high-RPM motorcycle engines to high-torque EV motors.
• Battery Upgrades: For electric vehicles or hybrids, scroll to the Battery Swap option to replace or upgrade the factory battery pack. Upgrading can increase voltage and power delivery, giving your EV better performance across the board.
• Check Performance Impact: Highlight a swap to preview its effects on your car’s PI Class, horsepower, torque, weight, and weight distribution. This is key for ensuring your car still handles the way you want it to.
• Confirm Selection: Press the select button to equip your chosen motor or battery.

4. Install and Purchase the Upgrades

Once you’ve decided on a swap, it’s time to finalize the upgrade.

• View Checkout Basket: Press the setup/view button to open your shopping cart.
• Buy the Parts: Confirm the purchase using Credits (CR) or Car Points, depending on your vehicle’s progression. Once purchased, the swap will be installed automatically, and your car will immediately reflect the new powertrain’s performance.

Final Tips

• Test Your Car: After a swap, take your car out for a spin. Different engines or batteries can drastically change handling and acceleration.
• Experiment: Don’t be afraid to try combinations you wouldn’t normally consider. Sometimes a small EV motor in a lightweight sports car can outperform a massive V8 in certain events.
• Consider Weight Distribution: Remember that some swaps can add significant weight to the front or rear, impacting cornering. Fine-tune your suspension if needed.
  

With these steps, you can fully customize your car’s powertrain in Forza Horizon 6, giving you the exact performance and driving experience you want. Whether you’re aiming for track domination or festival stunts, the right motor and battery swap can make all the difference.
