Not possible as far as I'm aware since it's a hard-coded feature. Instead of separate engines, in the data files every sub is just assigned a general thrust power (for diesels and electrics); and where that power actually comes from on the sub is irrelevant for the game's physics engine - it's just an abstract force that pushes your boat along. So there's really no way to separate the engines with a mod.

Yep. Unfortunately.

Note:

Back in the old SHII days you could at least choose between Diesels and electric engines independently when surfaced.

They can't. They want to use the game engine again for SH5
