Chris, just open your aircraft.cfg file in notepad and scroll down until you find the stuff on engines, and then make alterations as you please.
As this is the virtual world you could shoehorn in a Merlin or something for some real zip!

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

To quickly and realistically turbo-charge a G/A piston aircraft: In the aircraft.cfg file, look for the paragraph:

[piston_engine]

And make these changes to these lines (not just paste these lines in).

turbocharged= 1
max_design_mp= 38
min_design_mp= 1
critical_altitude= 18000

This will have the effect of bolting a turbo-charged engine in there,,,,

You can also increase maximum RPM, but keep it to small changes or you defeat the "realism".... like Ozzy said... you can give it 3,000 HP if you want, but what fun is that ?
