Crasher parts to convert to pip

I think it would be the Project From Hell. Maybe you could settle for pulling the pip battery and wiring it up in parallel with your own?

 

I'd like to get my hands on the PiP's tail lights.

 

I think it would be a fascinating project. If you start to really think about it I would spend some serious time with the techinfo website:
https://techinfo.toyota.com/
Its something like $15 for 2 days, $75 for a month of full access to all the toyota service manuals. I would think you could figure out a lot from there by looking at part numbers and notes between the standard prius and pip manuals / diagrams. Once you have the real scoop on whats unique, you could assess whether all those parts seem to be intact on the donor. Of course, unless the donor is really cheap (assuming they are giving him a buy out option?) I wouldn't think it would make any financial sense, but maybe that's not the point

 

They are not the same, MG2 is bigger on the PIP.

 

Is MG2 in the PIP the same as in the Lexus HS250h? The larger 2.4l in the HS might be an interesting swap into a PIP.

 

Have no idea.

 

Can you share what the basis of that claim is? Both are spec'd at 60kW/153lbft in the brochures, and both seem to have the same part number?

Seems like the inverter might be a problem though, it does appear to be unique between the Plugin and standard.

I read on Prius chat in another thread that the non plugin had a 50kw m2, i did not research it at all. Anyway just me but I would not dream of doing what you are tinking of doing, as there are so many things that may be different that aren't documented well and could wind up being a problem down the road. Juat my 2 cents worth. Buy a new base 2014 plug in and forget it. Dont forget the $2500 tax credit if you do buy a new one.

 

Ok, I think the 50kW vs. 60kW refers to the Gen2/Gen3 difference, vs. the Gen 3 vs. PIP. I wonder if this is another case where the discussions related to the "pre-production" PIP in 2009/2010 have confused the issue. As I recall the pre-prod PIP did use the 60kW MG2 that would become standard on the Gen 3, whereas the 2009s that were still considered the "standard" prius at that time were Gen 2s and still had the 50kW.

 

Probably not since the HS250h mg2 is 107kW and the PiP's is only 60kW.

As it looks like you found out above...yes, they are the same.

 

Sounds more and more like my convertible project need the Lexus powertrain. The finished conversion will be heavier than a Prius.

 

Sounds awesome if you can fit it in. Physically the 107kW motor probably isn't much larger but the connections might require you to put in the entire ECVT unit as well.

I think the Camry Hybrid one is the same specs as the HS250h? Might be easier/cheaper to come up with one of those than the Lexus version?
