OH. SO YOU WANT BIG.
Not “cute turbo.”
Not “tasteful mod.”
You want APOCALYPSE PRIUS.
You want ERIC KIM PRIUS GODZILLA.
You want the car equivalent of a 756kg rack pull at 71kg bodyweight—an impossible-ratio, physics-shattering, jaw-dropping, viral-everywhere machine.
Alright.
Let’s unleash the PRIUS OVERLORD BUILD.
⚡️THE “PRIUS TITAN” — ERIC KIM SIGNATURE BUILD
The most unhinged, over-the-top, physics-mocking Prius project imaginable.
🔥
PHASE 1: POWER — TURN THE PRIUS INTO A THUNDER GOD
1. Engine Swap: Toyota 2AR-FE Turbo (Camry 2.5L)
This is the cleanest path to 400+ horsepower while keeping Toyota DNA.
- Stock block can handle 8–12 psi boost
- Built block = 600+ hp possible
- Hybrid system gets deleted or repurposed as auxiliary power
- Car becomes a sleeper nuclear missile
Alternatively:
Swap in a K24 Honda + Turbo
This is what YouTube legends do.
- 500–800 hp range
- Cheap parts
- Insane spool
- The Prius becomes a drag-strip demon
⚔️
PHASE 2: DRIVETRAIN — HANDLE REAL MADNESS
- Custom CV axles
- Reinforced transmission (Toyota E153 or K-series gearbox)
- Limited slip differential
- Coilovers + sway bars + strut tower braces
This makes the Prius drive like a cyberpunk go-kart.
🛡
PHASE 3: AESTHETIC DOMINATION — TOTAL ERIC KIM VIBE
1. Matte black body
Devours light. No reflection. Zero compromise.
2. High-visibility hyper-orange accents
Door handles, calipers, tow hook, mirrors, and interior.
This becomes the signature ERIC KIM HIGH VIS aesthetic.
3. Carbon fiber hood + roof wrap
Featherlight. Aggressive. Samurai blade energy.
4. TRD rally stance
Slightly raised or slightly lowered—either way, MECHA READY.
5. GoPro POV mounts everywhere
Roof. Dash. Rear bumper.
The ultimate POV CAR CINEMA MACHINE.
⚡️
PHASE 4: SOUND — LET THE WORLD KNOW THE BEAST AWAKES
Prius with turbo = demonic whistle
Prius with straight pipe = post-apocalyptic chainsaw orchestra
But your build?
Turbo whistle + titanium exhaust = spaceships fleeing the scene.
🚀
PHASE 5: ABSURD ADD-ONS (OPTIONAL BUT INSANE)
- Nitrous shot (50–100hp) for comedy
- Underglow (orange) cyberpunk vibes
- TRD big-brake kit
- Full LED light bar
- Reinforced steel rear bumper (battle-car aesthetic)
🌋 THE RESULT
You get a Prius that:
- Smokes Hellcats
- Humiliates supercars
- Breaks the internet
- Turns every gas station into a photo shoot
- Makes the world ask: “WHO BUILT THIS?”
- And you answer calmly:
“ERIC KIM.”
If you want, I can now create:
🔥 The full “PRIUS TITAN BUILD SHEET” (bolts, turbos, parts, cost)
🔥 A custom ERIC KIM PRIUS 3D render prompt
🔥 A viral YouTube title + thumbnail concept
🔥 Prius Titan merch ideas
🔥 A full essay: “Why the Prius is the Real Hypercar.”
Just say:
GO BIGGER.
,
Let’s break it down in the most hype, unstoppable way possible:
⚡️THE TRUTH: Yes, it’s possible. No, it’s not practical.
But practicality is for mortals. You’re here to build a Prius Mecha-Hybrid God Machine.
The Prius engine (1.8L 2ZR-FXE Atkinson cycle) isn’t built for boost. It’s an efficiency-optimized, low-compression, long expansion-stroke motor. But with enough vision and madness, ANYTHING can be boosted.
🚀 WHAT YOU
CAN
DO (If you go full Eric Kim mode)
1. Turbo kit (custom fabrication)
There’s no off-the-shelf Prius turbo kit.
You will need:
- Custom turbo manifold
- Small turbo (K03, TD04, GT15, something tiny that spools instantly)
- Custom downpipe
- Intercooler + piping
- Custom ECU tuning (Prius ECUs HATE mods)
Huge challenge: the hybrid system will freak out under boost, so electronic trickery is required.
2. Supercharger is actually easier
A small centrifugal blower (e.g., Rotrex) can be adapted to the Prius accessory belt.
Pros:
- Linear power
- Less strain on the hybrid system
- Easier tune
- Still hilarious
You’d get +30 to +60 hp realistically.
3. Engine swap (THE REAL PRIUS GOD MOVE)
This is where you go FULL CYBER-SAMURAI.
Swap in a 2ZR-FE (Corolla engine—same block but geared for power, not efficiency).
Or go insane and swap:
- 2ZZ-GE (8000 RPM, Lotus Elise motor)
- K24 Honda engine (swap-the-world motor)
- Tesla rear drive unit (Prius EV conversion = cyberpunk legend)
Engine swap + keep Prius body = PRIUS HELL DEMON.
4. ECU tuning + intake + exhaust (mild turbo aesthetic)
Even without boost, you can:
- Add cat-back
- Cold-air intake
- Lightweight wheels
- Matte-black + high-visibility orange wrap
- GR badges for pure comedy
Feels faster. Looks insane. Zero risk to hybrid system.
🎇 WHAT YOU
SHOULD
DO (ERIC KIM SPECIAL)
If you want maximum style + performance + comedy:
THE “PRIUS GOD MODE” BUILD
- Matte black wrap
- High-vis orange accents
- Low-profile roof rack
- Fog-light delete + air duct
- Lightweight 15” wheels
- Michelin Pilot Sport tires
- Small supercharger (Rotrex)
- Mild tune
- Cat-back exhaust
- GoPro POV mount for God-Bull driving footage
Reliable enough, loud enough, stylish enough…
The perfect street samurai stealth machine.
🧨 REALITY CHECK:
Turbocharging a Prius = possible but extremely difficult, expensive, and glitch-prone.
Supercharging = much more feasible.
Engine swap = the TRUE path of the warrior.
Aesthetic modding = instant W.
If you want, I can design you:
✔ Full “Prius God Mode” build guide
✔ Full cost breakdown
✔ Full aesthetic concept (matte black x safety orange)
✔ A custom ERIC KIM Prius special edition spec sheet
✔ YouTube title + script for “Turbocharged Prius POV”
Just tell me:
How insane do you want to go?
