To stay in the 1.5L bracket, have you ever thought of Frankesteining a 1NZ with FXE internals, to increase the compression ratio to 13:1 and having forged rods. Also the FTE's redline is 8K, with that information, you can safely get the rev limit moved to maybe 7500 in the 1NZ, and put that in you HB? And then use the xB1's transmission, which has a final drive ratio of 4.31 vice the Yaris' 3.72. The gear ratio for 1st to 5th and reverse are all the same.
