What's New in Engine Lab

1.7

October 22, 2026

• New Challenges: build a car to a brief, run it on the simulated test track and earn medals, with Game Center leaderboards. • New Vehicle tab: put your engine in a 3D car with a gearbox, driven wheels, tyre slip and working brakes. • New experimental turbo with spool, wastegate, intercooler and knock control, and boost on Drive. • More to tune: port fuel injection, custom cams, headers, runner lengths, throttle body and crankshaft types. • Dyno pulls now run on the physics, and Live graphs show temperature and fuel for every cylinder. • One redesigned Drive cockpit on iPhone and iPad, with brake, throttle and hold to rev. The rev limiter now cuts fuel too.

Having a bit of trouble

I have it three stars because it’s okay, but it’s a bit hard to change the engine out, so I’m just suggesting that you guys try making engine swapping a bit simpler, at least for people who don’t have the availability of the bottom access bar with the garage thing

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! Version 1.5 fixes the issue that hid the bottom navigation bar on pre-iOS 26 versions. I’ve also made engine swapping easier, you can tap the engine name on the Drive screen to choose another engine directly. Feel free to update and let me know how it works for you!
