The goal of my mods is to eventually unload my Toyota Echo 1.5 L motor from the alternator (do the regen braking thing) the A/C (which I hardly ever use), and possibly make the water pump electric driven.

My question is the idle speed of the motor, will it change? And if so will it lower or increase? And am I going to see FE improvement when in idle?
