Default EFI and PFI VTEC Engine?

I was looking online at these 2 cars and I realized that the 1995 has a PFI DOHC VTEC engine and the 2001 has a EFI. Is one better than the other? Also what do you think about the 1995 GSR. Is there much difference from the 2001? Thanks. :hugglez:

PFI and EFI are two different names for the same thing. It's probably just because you're looking at two different sites.

PFI stands for Port Fuel Injection which means you have a fuel injector in each runner on the intake manifold. EFI means Electronic Fuel Injection, as in the fuel injection is controlled electronically. The official name Honda gives its fuel injection system is actually PGM-FI, and it is an electronic port fuel injection system.
