Well I'll be dammed... I just got closer to making a prius turbocharged! Soooo... I just realized... Atkinson cycle... is all ECU! Meaning, you can use a corolla non hybrid motor in a Prius!!!! That means to make a hybrid turbo, switching between Atkinson and Otto to make hybrid motor turbo.... it's all ecu!!!!
Atkinson's original design had a weird mechanical crankshaft linkage. The Atkinson effect in the -FXE comes from the ECM controlling the intake cam timing ... but when you swap in a non-FXE engine, it's not guaranteed the camshaft and VVTi-adjuster range is the same as in the FXE. Even in the FXE there were changes to that adjustment range between Prius generations.
Aunt the camshafts between the FXE and the regular non Atkinson cycle different part numbers different cuts on the cams themselves etc?.
Yes, it'll be routed to the Mach-5's auto-lift system..... This makes it a lot easier to work on my cars at ANY Park and Rides in the state!!!!
It's my understanding that this is the motor that they sell and that people install without issues all the time and I should find out here momentarily if it all works as according to plan because the way they described it this is not an fxe motor and it works on Priuses. At first it sounded like these did come out of Prii okay and then after that I was asking the question well in Japan the Prius has an alternator how does that make sense
The Yaris/Scion engine has a reduced compression ratio, different cam and different intake. Most likely a different head and or pistons.
Well... It's the ECM programming to make use of the different camshaft and compression ratio between the Prius and non Prius engines. The actual ECMs are (almost certainly) not swappable. Turbo charging is a whole 'nother level. Like doing anything on a Prius, you are going to end up fighting the OE ECM programming. I expect that will work as well as the PIP battery project.

All I know is this JDM Engine importer sells these Yaris Motors to Prius owners all the time and from what I understand never an issue. Well my tree is plug in battery project so far has gone according to plan I've got more capacity than a 2017 Prime. But what you don't know is that the ECU stuff I have in the bag already and it may be easier than I thought utilizing something that's already available on the market, I think everyone has been too timid to try something and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty or blow up a motor. So my plan now is to obtain an ECU from one of the newer Toyota Lexus Turbo Hybrid Motors because I feel like the key to the ECU and being able to turbocharger Prius is figuring out how they use the ECU to switch between Auto and Atkinson cycle. But for the record I encourage everyone to provide me with detailed information as to why they think something will not work that way in case I haven't thought of that you give me things to ensure I can resolve to make and meet my goal. I guess I asked just because the yards motor might have different internals and all of this other stuff what makes anyone particularly 100% certain that it will not work when plugging to another ECU of a different vehicle? Because I'll say this I know that the ECU is capable of making some amazing changes to accept what's plugged into it and that's for a fact. Did you know that the plug-in Prius has lithium batteries and not you can easily swap them out for batteries that have the same terminal locations with higher capacity and you won't have any issues? Now if I can just get my hands on this chartable charger I can charge these batteries quicker than any other Prius out there, well that's in the US I should say
