i am hoping that as this was a fairly low miles prius engine that i can flog it enough to get a good ring seal. overall i won't be cruising at 7000rpm so i am not too concerned. and we only have 91oct here unless i want to register and buy AV gas.

Did you consider an electric power steering assist from a current gen Yaris? You'd have to add the wiring to power it and possibly fabricobble the mounts, as well as spoof the speedo sensor to deal with the speed-based assist level. On second thought, that seems like more hassle than it's worth. =)

i did, and went through that same thought process. really, an MR2 electric pump could be added too the Scion XB system and be nearly bolt on. however even that is more work than needed.

Its more to do with how low tension the prius C engine rings are, its just something to keep an eye on didn't seem to hurt power all that much. On 91 it would still hit the knock sensor so 100 made that not happen, a whole lot more torque midrange between the two. Don't run avgas its got lead in it and it'll cause problems with your O2 sensors. If you're in Kansas try running 93 if you can find it.
