I used to go every Saturday to flee markets or garages sales Junk yards and found good things, I need to do that again. I don`t know if the s30 engine was used on airplanes. All i know that its a sure fit on the inline 6. Maybe someone here would know if the Z engine was used for airplanes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PR280z Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) Is that a rhetorical question??? No it`s not. I just was wondering what engine was use on the old zero warplanes,since the z is a zero. Edited January 1, 2010 by PR280z spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi303 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Actually only the Prototype Mitsubishi A6M Zero-sen had a Mitsubishi engine (760hp), Production models had a larger 14 cylinder twin row (two circles of 7 cylinders) Nakajima Sakae type 12 with 950 Hp, later a Nakajima Sakae type 21 with 980Hp. Putting that in perspective... RIPS had more power bolted into his Z's engine bay, and now his Rail than the Zero fighter had! with a bit less than half the cylinders and a LOT less displacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure have a knowledge of war planes. Q; were the corsairs the ultimate fighter planes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
