Differences between V and non V CVT?

hmmmm... okay! I will let folks know, about the next Prime they engine change to let me know to visit for investigation.

also, youll notice.. the power control module was swapped. no errors in tech stream just the car is still stuck in a fake ready mode and wont go into park. thought changing the two ecus mentioned would fix it.. nope.. issa why now diving into the CVT stuff as mine appears to have leaked transmission fluid after a month of not being driven since the accident, only towed. never had the front tires drag either. funny though. after the accident it would not go into neutral for a while.. then many techstream error clears later and the paper clip on obd2.. now its locked as in park and will not go into neutral.

not that I m aware. we have the first 2017 but... didnt the Gen 4 start in 2016? Now.. could be that my source... no... I was going to say never swapped a Prime before but I'm going to check, if so.. it would explain why he'd never seen it.

so folks say im crazy for my thoughts of what Im attempting but... that excitement I hope you have, jut imagine how much is in me and why I'm pushing all this forward?

ahhhh I see said the blind man! So, will hunt for a V ecu now![/QUOTE]

 

ah yes, I did understand that part, I think me seeing two models I'd assume have different transmission control ecus didn't... trying to weight on the site of the theories working in the direction I need this to go.

 

Thing is, I did swap the power management control ecu, in my attempts to rule out an ecu is the issue. Even with having the car unplugged from 12v over night then the paperclip in place for at least 30 minutes so they all sync and the same error codes were present for the PMC ECU from the factory and the one from the non PHEV.

Also, the work involved on side projects from the collective minds appears to indicate the car does adjust when you raise total cubic inches past 1.9L, and in a few other trials, they say didn't throw ECU errors. Ill get to the bottom of it all soon, trying to debate on just getting the normal Prius CVT working on the 1.8l just so the car is driveable. then dismantle my old cvt and the V to have the guts which get sent off for LSD. Now, when the LSD gets in hand, I should have all of the clutch plate components to pair it all up wih the lightened flywheel and pressure plate then bolt to the 2.0l to then install... plus the V extra cooling panel (which I've 3D scanned) just. I didn't know basically the whole front clip comes off to swap the CVT... heh. so Id end up depending on the timing, doing a full clip swap twice in less than 4-6 weeks.

The time it took me to remove the parking prawl at pick your part made me not want to attempt at swapping it on my car. nope! do you know the secret to losing and tightening the bolts on the parking prawl?

 

just got royally confused. so..

on the clue and stuck in park... lost me on the clue part.. it's the general belief it's stuck in park now because I fried the CVT. In the accident, a couple blue wires from the fuse box were severed where they come together and bolt to the fender ground. finding the short in the harness where the wires were clearly krispy burnt that goes from CVT & O2 then up and over the motor/cvt to the front area was repaired and after a paperclip reset the car was no longer "stuck in neutral". After changing and unpligging multiple ECU's still no neutral with the screen yelling about put the car in park, figured to replace the CVT when after over a month of not moving and a couple tow truck rides later I noticed transmission fluid dripping off metal engine splash shield. This was after the greatest Prius mind tells me weeks Prior you might just need to rebuild the CVT... he was right.

so yes, I know no additional error codes are a good sign but until it's driving still a theory and we've been trying to flush out any and all with my build.

Whats funny is, how Toyota does this okay! This isn't my first rodeo in how what they put online and in docs for the 2013 PHEV isnt what's out there. Heck, even the color of the wires from the fuse box if not using my vin won't show the proper color cables this one technician helping me on the phone had.
heh... 6 socal dealers and only 1 was able to find the part number for my car's wire harness. If I would've bought the harness from them after they told me it was the right one and in actuality, it wasn't, to then not be able to return it as it's an electrical item. the PHEV with LED and PCS wire harness doesn't show up for them. That to say, I'm skeptical about their documents and part numbers these days because the Transmission ECUs you say is no overlap. How is that possible? literally, they are the same, and yet Toyota never makes mention on it.

 

on the new gen stuff yes, no can bus... the generation of ecu's I'm working with I do not have a roadblock to modify the main ECU, right now the attempt is to bolt it all

 

the way I figure it... model 3 , non AWD standard range hahaha I didn't say PLAID! You need twin turbo hellcat for all that jazz. Yes have driven, the first was the p100D with the sun roof, back then we couldn't get traction control off or something wouldn't allow us to do burn outs. That was the day I learned of another Ludacris and it's not a rapper...
Model 3 283hp 330lb ft. 0-60 5.3- 5.0 single rear motor.
Prius PHEV 268hp 260lb ft 0-60 TBD single rear motor with Hybrid MAX motor in the front 340hp 400lb ft
--combined 608hp 660lb ft 0-60 TBD
2.0L 172hp 154lb ft
--combined 512hp 554lb ft
Numbers-wise, just using the rear motor planned we should make light work of the non AWD Model 3.

Now, I need to get the 2.0l working first, that's, for now, simpler since I have it on hand, and the plan to get it working, hence this thread about CVT improvements to handle the 2.0L.

the 50+kWh battery I've got to find a crashed bz4x in another state as those cells ill work in the Prus to get me 71.4-72.8 kWh and the RX450h+ would get me to 18.1-kWh and its smaller than the Rav4 18.1kWh For which For we cant use in the Prius.

do you see the vision?

 

it's not about looks its about giving me the ability to drive long distances between fill-ups and not be limited to taking an FWD car off the pavement places 4x4 vehicles go. The by-product of this is that it will be faster than a single-motor model 3. Now... I get the jump on an AWD then fellas :: clapping hands :: we got ourselves a race!

can you imagine the tesla owner thinking,, Wth no way and eagerly inches closer in their seat because they thought the had it and can clearly see the Prius has more speed as its not over coming the lifted Prius on all-terrain tires that stick not slip

 

so wait.. the prime cvt and mg1 or the clutch plate is whats making the prime obtain higher mph in ev mode? thats where I got lost.

I am trying to source the extra clutch parts now but If I need a prime cvt then... I need to get one of those.

Separately, has anyone here actually touched the part, or is all comments theory based on reading?

 

i plan on removing the power management ecu from the prime to see if the ports are the same or not. cross referencing more on the part numbers and trying to find one from a Prime that matches my prime. I should be able to read the ECU, download the file and compare it to the one in my Plugin to see how different they are.
