The first is a turbocharged 2600cc General Motors 4-cylinder "EcoTec" engine for the DD/AT class (restricted turbo size, cc-to-weight ratio limit, 1000 kilos, alcohol, etc.).  Notice the 3 injectors per cylinder and the belt driven distributor instead of individual coils.  This car ran a 7.69. on it's first run and blew the turbo on the second run. The second motor is a 3400cc N/A 4-cylinder Chevy with a billet cylinder head that runs on race gasoline in the K/A class.  It weighs only 550 kilos and was the #1 qualifier with a 7.85 second run.  Amazing.  Both of these cars utilize an automatic transmission.[/QUOTE]
