I wonder how much the M/G2 is also underpowered. It may be possible to "tune it" to put out a bit more power than it does. On the other hand, I...
If the ECU is a really such a problem (I doubt that the Prius is an unhackable car) take it out and throw in a stand alone system. Getting +200V...
Any cam or turbo mod, unless slightly different than stock, will need the ECU reprogramed. The Prius is still just a gasoline powered car, and the...
Unless you change the cam and turbo the engine and such, any mod going after huge power gains is going to require an engine/motor replacement. And...
I was thinking more like a rear Tesla axle with a battery system separate from the NiMH battery. Obviously there would need to be lots of...
From what I understand the EPA had it planned out that all 2005 and newer vehicles would be built to run on lower zinc oils. If you have a 2005 or...
If I were to hod rod a Prius, I'd fit in a high power Lithium Ion battery (or maybe even an ultracapacitor battery??) somewhere and figure out how...
Technically, yes. The thicker the oil is the less efficient it is to pump; causing a slight hit in fuel economy. Which is why more and more...
Maybe @edthefox5 has made up his mind. But @Banksy is asking what oil to use. Simply put: a 2008 Prius is supposed to use 0W-20, 5W-20 or 5W-30...
Good to hear you've had good success with that oil. And thanks for the pics. However, I'm still not convinced that ZDDP doesn't poison catalyitic...
Call me a purist, but I use Toyota brand 5W-30 in my Prius. (Also Toyota brand 0W-20 in my Avalon). I've been told that Toyota oil has more...
I can solder and replace capacitors. That'll be interesting when I get to that!
Thanks for the list! However, I fail to see how clogged EGR circuits, blown head gaskets and hydrolocked engines are only a Prius thing. If you...
Dumb question here. Other than the battery and perhaps the inverter pump, what else is "worse" about a Prius than any other car? If you buy a 12...
This is just my 2 cents. If the battery was replaced and everything else is to your liking, I'd say go for it. But if the HV battery was never...
So looking for opinions here. As I'm pricing parts for the front end damage I get to around $800 for just the hood, lamp assmbly, left fender and...
Can you replace the hybrid battery yourself? That's about $1,800 for a new one. If that can be figured into the price then it should be a good...
Thanks @Trollbait ! I did try your suggestion several times again today. I have tried these before and some others, but to no avail. Also the...
A while back my infotainment system in my 2013 Avalon Hybrid started giving me problems. First, over a year ago the bluetooth stopped working. I...
Wow! Only 3 months! That's discouraging! I was hoping to get at least a year or so by replacing the bad modules and reconditioning the whole...
