Ooh! Nice!

That'd be the little known Honda 18 cyl. twin row, radial engine then? 

Should make my little generator push more amps, that's for sure.

Well.....
In real life the Honda company worked as a subcontractor to Nakajima during the war, making engine parts.
Nakajima turned into Subaru after the war making cars.

In my world Honda took over the aircraft engine division of Nakajima and acted as sponsor to the Ki-84 Formula F48 team.

[Weaver]

Another one that makes sense. 

The Ki-100 or the J-2M Raiden would be good too.

[ysi_maniac]

Wow!

[rickshaw]

What, no CA-15 or MB-5?   

[Tophe]

Good in civilian colours, thanks! (for the enjoyment)

[Wardukw]

This is very cool 
Now i wonder if HKS and Tomei are involved in the high performance applications of these engines
