Jap planes won't equip American engines with equal power, as the airframe can't handle the weight and power. If you force them to equip those bigger engines they will simply disintegrate.

H8K had records of surviving being engaged by B-29 you know, something few Japanese planes can do. And yes, it achieved that with all the Japanese trash parts.
