Out of curiosity more than anything else (I'm not in a position to do an engine swap now, and I don't expect my engine to go 'splody or otherwise need replacing anytime soon) would you expect a prius 1nzfxe engine to bolt relatively easily up to the 6 speed manual in an 03 Pontiac Vibe GT (has the 2zzge engine), or would you expect that to take some custom fabrication and/or Toyota parts bin scrounging, or better to swap to a different manual trans along with the engine?
Also, you mentioned you can switch between high and low compression/displacement. Is that is electrically switched, and would a pwm controller or something similar be all that's needed to be able to select middle settings?
Edit the 1st: After thinking about it, my current engine has dual cam profiles (for extra power at high rpm), could emulating the prius engine detune be as "simple" as getting a new cam cut with a different 2nd profile, and putting in a way to manually switch to the 2nd profile, or something similar?
Edit the 2nd: I made a
post in a different thread asking about and expounding on my 1st edit. That way there may be some hope (however slight) of keeping this thread on topic.
