Monster Fuel Injection Stage 2 Flash - F3T 2016

I'm a total newbie when it comes to ECU mods but as an engineer (chemical, not mechanical) I know that for most things, it is always a trade-off. Therefore, what is the trade-off with these mods that give me better hp? Fuel efficiency? Engine Life? More frequent Maintenance? etc.

HP & or torque always comes with a price..... When you increase the power output of a combustion engine, there is going to be more stress placed on every moving part in that engine. And you don't have to be an engineer to figure this out. … I believe from reading many articles that the Rotax 1330 engine in OEM form is under stressed. So a 20 to 25 hp increase is well within the original design parameters to handle that amount of increase.... back in the day, you could take a Chevy 350 small block that in OEM form put out maybe 285 HP and bump it up 200 or 300 HP using different mechanicals. ….. Those engines were stressed way more than what Monster does for the 1330, and if the Chevy's were done correctly they functioned for a long time. …. IMHO I wouldn't be concerned about shortening the life of the 1330 w/ ecu mods from Monster …… good luck …. Mike hyea:

I was also looking to do a Stage 2 on my 2019 F3-S and I see Monster has a new handheld coming out soon. Thoughts? Wait for the handheld or send in the ECU?

It sounds like you'll need to purchase the flashes separately (stage 1 = $390/stage 2 = $510), in addition to the $300 hardware piece. This will allow you to use the device to flash between stage 1 or 2 and stock. That said, the stage 2 requires your air cleaner cover to be drilled. Might not want to use a stock tune with this.

You're better off mailing in the ECU with the cover. So that way your ECU profile stage II and factory settings is already on record. When the hand programmer comes out..they just send out the programmer with your profile on it...if you decide to purchase it....this is actually the better way to go...

If he wants to switch from stage II to stock he can just purchase another airlid and keep it in his garage..and switch it when he changes tunes or go back to stock. they are only about 20.00 bucks on cheap cycle parts.com . I have a spare one in my garage...
