Quite a bit actually, as the electronics are almost non-existent for
the Euro KR 16v engine.  While the US 16v's have quite a lot of
electronics.  Depends on where you want to look, the Euro KR distributor
is mechanical with advance, the US one has no mechanical advance.  The
injectors are CIS based not CIS-E (obviously), the fuel meter/mixture
control unit is quite different (no DPR, no air flow plate position
sensor for starters).  Many people like the simplicity of the Euro
system, I've seen it for myself and am somewhat jealous over the small
amount of 'plumbing' (vacuum & electrical).
