Steve,
This sounds like a fascinating idea.

In the aircraft.cfg file you can change the engine type. Look for a; [GeneralEngineData] engine_type = 0
The different types of engine are. 0-Piston 1-Jet 2-None 3-Helo-turbine 4-Rocket 5-Turboprop
Just change the number to what you want

Ozzy;
Wouldn't you have to change some of the FDs to compensate for the added power?
The reason I ask is because I have a T-34 Mentor that's super nice, but more power would be an excellent idea.
God, I love saying "MORE POWER"!!

Fisharno,
I agree. It's true that an engine type can be changed by the switch of a number, but performance specs are a bit more complicated. Due to a lack of information, however, I can only guess that we're talking about going from a piston engine to a turbo-charged piston engine.
