Tom,
What is the difference between E-Tec and Ficht?


its more a difference in philosophy and engineering tolerances than
complete differences. etec is essentially ficht technology, but
re-engineered, the way the emm handles the ignitiion is more
efficient, the coding is more elegant, new injectors, new cylinder
metal tech, better tolerances, new lubricants - think more, bigger,
betterrer.

interesting that the injectors are being made in australia.


Is your preference in the ETec vs 4 stroke based upon a power to weight
ratio or are there other benefits?
