  • Hello Marybuggy, No the 1st generation prius has a different operating system.

    but we do have a new battery pack and vehicle management system .

    you may see more details by visiting the autobeyours website

  • You are a little late on the comments. this was the original demonstration of high speed stealth..check the date.

    there are dozens of PHEV prius's running around with this hack without the transmission failing.

    140% ? where do you get your facts? check your math.

    but yes, we now perform high speed stealth a better way..by causing the ICE engine to spin with software, this provides lubrication and leverages the power split device within the trans to move the car faster than 52.

  • No, the fuel in the line takes a while to become consumed, also the ICE will continue to attempt to start...wasting precious battery energy.

    We offer the control boards for the an eventual phev conversion for 595.

    you also get the high speed stealth conversion at the same time.

  • yes, A standard prius will go 33 mph before the I.C.E .will start.

    adding an EV or electric vehicle mode switch will keep the ICE off as long as 3 miles.

Explosive ones ?

  • could you do this with the first prius and not this one i mean the first prius

  • I wishy prius gave me 75 miles per gallon without having to charge it iny house not practical

  • I honestly get 57 mpg and 564 miles on a full tank of gas which is 10 gallons and i pay 28 to 29 dollars to fill up. Price of gas is 3.40

  • There are a few problems with this.

    First off, the electric motor was never intended to run that fast, that is around a 140% overspeed.

    Second, it is clearly more than just a board change, there is another pack involved, understandable as the original pack would fail vary quickly.

    But, the most important question is, why?

    We now have a vehicle that can top out at 52 mph, absolute top end.

  • Very interesting, I wonder how this is possible without over spinning MG1, because at a speed of 52mph, MG2 should be at 3,088rpm but without the engine spinning to reduce the rpm of MG1, MG1 would be spinning at 8,027rpm. Correct?

    How is this done?

  • @GarrettKeetley Sorry, but no the car doesn't suck for fuel economy or power. Has just as much power as many other cars the same size.

  • @GarrettKeetley The 2010 Toyota Prius has a total output of 134 hp, not 98 hp. Get your facts straight.
