Thinking about an Ecotrons EFI? Awesome!! Don't get too excited though, this is not a weekend install. It's great in the end but I'm going to list a lot of stuff you need in addition to what it comes with:
1. Fuel injection line, and fuel injection clamps. If the clamps don't say fuel injection clamps, don't buy them. If you go to advance Auto Parts, ask for the clamps from the commercial counter. You will save a stack of cash. About 3 feet of 1/4" fuel injection ans 2 feet of regular fuel line. Do not even bother using the clear garbage it comes with.
2. A new stator and rectifier. Don't forget about a flywheel puller. Get it off Amazon. Easier to return and better descriptions than most scoot sites.
If you do no have an 11-pole ac or dc, get one! This thing guzzles power and if you have a 6 or 8, forget it.
3. Wire, lot's of it. As well as a soldering iron, solder, split loom tubing, and heat shrink tubing. You will have to stretch wired like crazy because stuff is super short. Dont forget to get a good marine gauge switch for the enriching switch to flush mount. There is a considerable amount of rewiring involved when you get a new stator. There are so many stators out there and the odds of finding the right wires on a new stator is almost impossible.
4. Someone to weld. You should trim down the o2 bung to fit the pipe, but it has to be welded on to be right. I paid $20 for 20 seconds of welding and it was worth it.
5. Plan on making a throttle cable mount for the throttle body. Every picture shows everything mounted on top. If you want to lose under seat storage, that works. But I cant help but notice that a 12 pack fits perfectly under the seat and if everything is on the bottom of the throttle body, you can keep your seat.
6. A heat gun. This whole scoot is mad of abs. If you are having clearance problems, smack it with a heat gun and mold it into what you want. Cool it fast with a spray bottle of water and you will love it.
7. A spare throttle cable. My stock one fit like schitt and I got a random one from a local scoot shop in New Port Ritchie and it was way better.
8. A timing gun. I haven't used one of these for 15 years until now. They say this come pre programmed for a gy6. I couldn't get it to run right and finally figured out it was 15 degrees off. Just borrow one or rent one. You will need it for a ABOUT 20 SECONDS.
9. you have to hook up your kill switch to their cdi if you use it. Just know which wire it is. They do not list it in the instructions but it's there and works. Also, you lose your tach or so you think. Find you tach wire and solder it to the ckp wire. Solder it if you want it to work best.
10. Ditch the P.A.I.R. system, but whatever you do, DO NOT CAP YOU CRANKCASE BREATHER!!!!! Smoke, Hellfire, and brimstone with result, as well as possibly blowing piston rings. Run a tube from it up to the gas tank with a breather on it or a oil separator if you want. Waste of money if you ask me but not to those that have it.
You need mad amounts of patience for this kit. Not a lot of folks to ask about it and it takes overnight to get emails answered. It's a solid, over engineered kit but not bad. I'm happy I did it but it takes a while to do it right and I may have reconsidered if I knew the additional amount of crap I would need.
Also, for Christ sake, can we just call it an O2 sensor instead of a lambda sensor?
