    I told him on his YouTube channel to have his “Car Wizard” try and fit a Prius C 1.5. Since we know the Gen 4 engine fits the 3, that’s the last hurdle to clear.

    I think he owes someone a 10-second car. Maybe get some overnight parts from Japan.

    small bottle; I'd guess its a dry kit 50-100 hp. having seen a blown up prius engine (looked like the oil was rarely if ever changed and probably run low), the block is not by any means sturdy looking. very thin aluminum block with thin rods. a wet 50hp shot might not blow it up in 1 second, but a dry shot it probably went way lean.

    Anyone who didn't see this coming has never used it or worked with it before....

    a prius engine, in NO way, shape or form is designed to withstand ANY type of power adder, much less the instant hit of a single stage, non-progressive N2O system, regardless of power level. At least he didn't wreck and kill himself....

    The Prius is up and running again from the latest video, and it would seem the transaxle survived. MG1 is tougher than I thought! (will put link up when I am next on youtube)
