so, just because it has a physical compression ratio of 13:1 it does not mean that the pistons/rods are subjected to typical 13:1 compression forces. in fact, the prius only revs to 5000rpm, so you'd want to take into account these factors.

it's not a 'SLAP IN SOME PISTONS AND RODS FROM A PRIUS YO!' solution.

you're a dick, all you had to say was it didn't work. we don't need proof we just need someone with lots of posts to say it's a bad idea. why would we want to go to multiple reputable sources on the internet when we have a forum full of people who know everything?
