    I'm sorry but it's a Prius. They make lots of sports cars. WHY?

    Depends, most of these are just bolt on stuff. If you got a bunch of people that are willing to help about 3 days for everything

    There seems to be a lot of push-back regarding modifying the prius.

    That said I am going to bore the throttle body to 58mm (max it will go), probably get an intake though I haven't settled on which one, I haven't looked too hard at this yet but the one video I watched showing a dyno run with the Injen intake, it lost HP.

    I also want to get an Injen throttle controller (the latest model is PT0002B they have it in stock on Summit racing) to help with throttle response, both quicker on the freeway and slower for stop and go and the like.

    Last for engine stuff I want to try a red bullet VVT solenoid, a lot of people claim it is snake oil, it might be but I'm willing to throw down a couple hundred and see for myself.

    I also ordered a Lithium battery from projectlithium.com.

    If my motor goes, I don't really care, I am doing what I can to keep it going for now but I ultimately want to swap in a 2016+ engine anyway due to their improved design.

    What advantage was there to upgrade to the lithium battery pack and was it worth it?

    @christian cox

    Well it is not as heavy as OEM or compared to any other HV pack on the market.

    The lithium battery charges up faster and stays charged longer than a regular pack.

    There are some other things to mention.
    You can find out about it on the site.

    Use my link and you will save some cash.
