Lets say you go the die-sel route. Are you going to use the power splitter or supply your own tranny? Since its an E-CVT you need the synergy drive system for it to work properly unless you use a cvt from a Honda or some other vehicle. |
The Honda CVT is electronically controlled so you would still have to sort out that potential problem area! It could be done but there would be some real work to do to get it to work correctly.
That is a problem these days everything is controlled by ECU and every car has different ECU. There are definitely pros to the modern ECU don't get me wrong but when it comes to building your own hybrid or swapping parts from various vehicle platforms it often becomes more cost and work than what its worth in output gains.
