Getting back on subject - back to takuto's post - you just have to add the pistons with new bearings? WIll the stock ECU handle this???

Anyone have an idea how much it would cost for a mechanic to open up the engine and install the prius pistons/bearings????

This holds the potential to be a very effective an hoprefully not too difficult mod. Sombine this with a few othe smart mods and our engins could make quite a bit more power!

they'd have to remove the entire engine to do this.

and if you want any form of reliability you'd want the block to get honed and potentially bored out slightly to clean up the cylinder walls.

no point in spending $1.5k in parts to not have them work correctly after installed.

you don't gain any power from putting in new internals, you gain the potential for more power. You also gain the potential to break alot of stuff.

if you're on a light budget it's smart to leave the motor alone.
