Anyway, with all the trouble to decouple the low-powered (and I believe, not terribly efficient by modern standards?) IMA from the ICE, would it not be easier to just add a second electric motor.
The ima motor is perfectly efficient but the algorithm and mosfets driving it aren't the most efficient.

Linsight improves driver efficiency, if you can find a modern pin compatible mosfet the Ima will be no less efficient than new.

As for a second motor it's very tough, insight just doesn't have clearance for anything
