^ I keep seeing posts like this, and never a picture or a dyno. I believe you -- but it would be real nice to see how it's done and what the result is.

I can have an engine for 150$. If I put prius piston, I think that I need a tuning. FIC or camcon ?

Personally, I would be more interested in the Prius intake cam than Prius pistons. The effective compression ratio on the Prius changes due to VVT-i, but I've been told by experienced techs that it's around 6.5-7.5:1, depending on valve timing. The interesting thing to me would be a Prius intake cam and a supercharger- turn the Yaris engine into a Miller-cycle engine.

We can get new higher comp pistons, just sold some to a customer doing an NA build.
Sourcing Prius pistons are cheaper obviously IF they work.

in the diy section:2007 Repair Manual.
And we'd love to see some build pics and a dyno run if you do it after too. Thank you! Would be so cool if it worked.
