Ecotrons EFI kit group buy?
They still offer the bulk discount except with the current unfortunate price tag
10% off for 10-20, I guess more if 20+ I've been looking for an EFI kit for a long time and if enough other people want them then maybe we can get them back down to a good price (maybe not) They're $1000 currently, would be $900 with a 10% discount I haven't seen a group buy organized in a long time so is there another EFI option that I don't know of? |

The kit is pretty awesome from the standpoint of it started on the first try and generally worked well.
The shortcomings are:
It was a sweet kit when it runs right, but I wouldn't deal with it for $1000. I spent 2 riding seasons tuning fuel maps and volumetric efficiency map and going back and forth on O2 sensors, etc. It worked pretty well outside of a few nagging concerns. So I got rid of it. Fantastic experience I don't regret, but I just don't get excited by it any more. The best part of it is really the ECU. They've got it pretty good already and it's able to run right out of the box and it's got all kinds of adjustability (ignition timing, efficiency, all phases of start up, global lambda and very specific lambda, data logging, etc) and it can be tuned to work with just about anything because of that, but the polish and chrome spinners aren't there. It's just not a very professional feeling finished product. Get me an OE fuel pump. Get me OE throttle bodies. Get a better fuel return set up (there's no fuel shut off on the supplied tap, you have to figure that out on your own). Get me preformed fuel lines that don't require goofy bends and hella fittings. This kit could be so good for the price they're charging, but it's really no different than the kit I bought in 2012 (?) for about half the price they're charging now. Respectfully, That all said, when I got it tuned, it ran like a top. Airbox, pod filter, whatever. Under full throttle to clutchless upshifts at the track, it blew flames out the pipe as the engine spun down. Pretty neat. Start up was good no matter what the temps were (I only rode down into the mid 40's and up to the 90's). Throttle response was good. Torque felt good throughout the whole rev range. Never had really significant issues other than killing batteries. For the money, I'd look at a blue collar bobbers kit and make something unique, not something I'm always going to question. |

EDIT: Just had a thought. If you are really into EFI, you may want to consider doing a 300 coversion, with 300 engine and electronics with the stock EFI. I do believe there is at least 1 thread on it. Last futzed with by jcgss77; March 17th, 2018 at 01:25 PM. Reason: Slow-running brain |
