I am looking more towards trying to get the turbine engine installed, I am not so worried about the insides. I have had five of these turbine engine 210's that are modified by this company come through KBIL on their way to the Oshkosk air show. I have found a way to "rig" the AirConfig file to put the engine from a Pilatus PC-12 in it and added the proper sounds but this is not the right engine and it still looks like a piston version. I have had to settle for putting a Lycoming TIGO-541 450hp piston engine which gives me good low altitude climb out (1400 ft per min) but after 8000ft or so it really drops mainfold pressure and I lose almost all verticle climb at about 11500 ft. The Silver Eagle is fully pressurised and is capable of 23000 ft but cruises around 16000 ft at 215 knots. Here are the specs.
