Hello Everyone,
As some of you know from some post before I successfully made my scoot EFI Thanks to Matt and the Ecotrons team, I have read the EFI tuning guide a billion times, and I now have decided to go with a wide band O2 Sensor, My goal is to run well over 70 MPH with a stock engine, and get Over 120MPG the only upgrades are going to be out side the engine but all internals are stock, The Ecotrons kit comes with a switch that is ECO mode and Rich Mode, In which I can tune separately, Right now my best has been 62.1 MPH and 105 MPG, I have been trying a lot of different things and I thought I would post some of the upgrades I have done Just if anyone is interested in having a 150 saving gas like a 50cc but faster than a regular 150cc.
So when I first installed My EFI the scoot would not run at all, the actual install of the EFI was about 2 Hours, counting the O2 bung, (I have my own welder), I spent over a month trying to figure out what was wrong, I even thought of going back to carb, But I didn't give up, I spent way to much money on it to just give up on it. I checked my spark a few times but I can only check with no load, the bike would Idle and then shut off, I had it idling finally and I started working on it trying to figure out what the heck was wrong as soon as you accelerate it would hesitate and bug down, I happened to touch the frame and I got a nice shock from it, so I took the coil off and there it was, There is a little edge on the back side of the coil that goes into a notch on the coil mount on the scoot, SO you always put it the right way, I always use a Makita to tighten up everything so the Makita broke that tiny piece, and the spark was coming out of there. I installed the Stock coil( I had the Orange coil) and the bike ran freaking awesome.
A few days ago my bike started having the same problem again, so right away I thought of the coil, I was going to order a new one but I feel like replacing 2 coils within a year was a bit to much, so I decided to look for other options, I Installed a MSD Blaster SS coil Part#8207 Pepboys has it in stock, with an Accel Wire, The wire gets cut to the length you need, Part# 170500R, Pepboys has it in stock, well the bike has never ran better, it takes off super nice and there is no dead spots, when the EFI starts advancing timing it just goes. I was not able to test the top Speed But I will try it tomorrow, I have a feeling that I am going to get some great results, and also I want to find out how my gas mileage is doing.
Here are all the upgrade I have done, I have tried a lot of different set ups different parts with different results and this has been the best acceleration to top end results, I am going to List them from the best upgrade to the ones that didn't really do much,
1- EFI KIT
Throttle Response, Better acceleration, top end and MPG.
2- MSD ignition coil w/ Accel cable
Helps the computer advance timing with out any hesitation or dead spots
3- 11 Pole Stator,
The EFI has enough power, I haven't charged my battery since, and I run 55W LEDs
4- 116mm variator face plate,( I am running the stock variator)
The belt runs all the way to the top of the variator, Lower first gear
5- 2.56 Rear gear ratio,
Helped on top end and MPG when cruising.
6-Clutch Main Spring,
Holds the lower gear and it helps a lot on re- acceleration
7- Edelbrock air Filter.
I am still using the stock Hose but with the EFI Kit I needed more air, and the scoot finally woke up.
8- Exhaust-
I am using the stock exhaust but I opened it and took out one of the chambers so the exhaus could pretty much come right out with out being way to loud (My intake is louder than the exhaust.
9-Tap on the left side of the tank.
I have outlets on both sides of the tank so when I am low on gas and I am taking turns, no air gets into the lines.
10-Michelin SC Rear tire (reinforced)
The tire is one size bigger than stock and I can take turns and not feel swirly at all.
If anyone has any questions please let me know, I will be posting my results soon and also, once I get the Wide band Installed I will post the results as well.
