The trick I used to get my mr2's c50 hooked up to the 1nzfe should also work with your sypder's c56. You would need to find a scion XA bellhousing. It's possible that you could use the XA transmission as-is, but I suspect the axles are different. But either way, you shouldn't need an adapter plate.
So far the fuel economy numbers have been using the OEM 1nzfe ecu. I have the harness I made set up to run the 1nzfe electronics, and then I support the microsquirt through an adapter. I can go back to the 1nzfe ecu at any time without any trouble.

Those engines exist, but not in the US. I'd like to use a C60 or something later down the road, which is a direct fit into my car, but I want to keep as much of the stock engine as possible. Using a different engine requires a modified engine mount, drive axles, and making the exhaust fit 1NZ headers, and that's annoying. Though, the 1NZ is definitely better suited to my purposes, 43 pounds lighter. I'd be able to use overbored steel sleeves for a little more weight reduction.
If you are using the 1NZ ECU, why do you have the VVTi disabled? Or do you have it working and I'm just reading incorrectly?

Nah I was talking about a manual transmission Yaris or something. The Prius drivetrain is a neat little piece of machinery but I like rowing gears a lot :P
