ummm...
EFI..that sounds complicated.
and what is a loom and an ECU?
is there any real advantage to EFI? i was thinking more along the lines of twin carbies. i'm assuming they are simpler right? i dont want to get into the really complicated stuff straight away.



EFI will give better fuel economy and more power (if tuned right).
The ECU is the computer that powers the EFI system, and the looms are the wiring between the ECU and the engine.

Twin carbs are simpler, but from the stories ive heard around here, are VERY difficult to tune, and loose thier tune quickly.

To install:
Simple = 18R-G (twin carb)
Complicated = 18R-GEU (EFI)

To maintain:
Simple = 18R-GEU
Compilicated = 18R-G
