Hands down the most underrated youtuber

[@coryalansmith]

Feel like this is one of those projects that kind of push along steadily and then all of a sudden, you've done something incredible. Thanks for all the hard work!

[@Watchmedome3017]

Cory Smith i know right. I have a feeling it’s going to be EPIC!!

[@epicbuildzgarage4674]

I’ve always wanted to turbo my envoy and be able to keep the stock ecu and cluster in it so I’m pretty stoked he did all of his stuff

[@wheeln24-79]

This is one hell of a quarantine project! Trevor pioneering a cheap performance project for everyone!

[@chadlegault9993]

I love that you are showing the troubleshooting for the EMU Black. Keep rocking with that thing please

[@KalvinMalli]

I have no doubt you'll make this thing rip haha. Stoked to follow along.

[@beereadyyy9849]

ayy been subbed too you for a while funny seeing you here

[@jonsmith7426]

Wow, you been busy since your "300zx car show reactions" new shop? Good shit dude. Nice r32, keep it up. There's bondo on my 1 owner s14 driver quarter. im not looking forward to seeing what's under it. I feel ur pain

[@okistash3075]

[@lilmike1780]

When u work on anything u actually teach as u learn I am sure u are at least 15 years younger than me and I feel like u are a teacher every time u try and challenge yourself u show people what to do and that’s amazing. Shaun from pfi is the same way and talented people like u guys are very few and far between. Thanks again again

[@fmmrz5]

Anytime I see an oscilloscope I think “we’ll there’s your problem lady!” 🤣😂

[@460FordBronco79]

Dude I love all of these wiring projects you take on. I learn so much! Electrical stuff has always been my biggest frustration on vehicles.

[@siddadood]

I just got into HVAC and seeing how I can barely read wiring diagrams I’ve studied. this is so impressive to be able to splice into something and modulate it with an external device is so dope, even with instructions.

[@josephskeie]

Get a 60s truck and throw it on the envoy chassis, big brakes good suspention! Would make a awsome burnout rig

[@josephskeie]

Yeah I have a 56 chevy myself and it makes me cringe on what might happen to his. But his truck not mine so whatever

[@eddiemaravillas9879]

@Moe Green he sold it already actually

[@firstnamelastname-xi4jz]

I’m so glad you decided to keep pushing on the envoy. I’m a Chevy guy at heart, let’s see this thing go even if it blows!

[@TaffyGaming]

I'm digging the build. it's a good reference for the day I can finally put my old truck in a standalone. Learning a lot from this

[@shua87]

I love the fact that you have this idea about something and just make it work. No matter what it is lol. Keep it up!

[@Brock_Landers]

I am honestly so pumped for this build. I'll be SO excited to see this thing make boost and do a pull! I have been waiting to see someone boost one of these engines.

[@bighecrc4life922]

I love how diverse your channel is you can switch shit up from 1 thing to another an everytime im super interested in the result

[@lamarzimmermanmennonitefar5269]

Yay! 4200 stuff!!

[@Taco-Mike]

Stoked on this build!! Cant wait to see it finished!!

[@gimelharvey]

trevor is so multifaceted , i love his videos !

[@geogmz8277]

Me: A $ *200* Engine Junkyard: Sorry, it's $1000 now. Have you seen Trevor's video? This is a master piece engine.

[@lilmike1780]

I am glad u are challenging your self I have seen u get kind of bored doing the everyday normal things. Keep it up and learn u got sooo much talent and ability to learn anything, keep up the great work

[@kevinjones6091]

This is way rad. Cant wait to see how it turns out! Keep it up!

[@Brother2Jis_27s4]

I was going to do this test myself with this engine. I'm glad you're getting into it and I get a chance to learn about it before getting to deep into it and finding out it's a dead end. I was going to just get a manual swap and skip all the a-t headaches. Even though a 4L60 can be built to hold some power chasing the bugs is a major deterrent... Good luck, I'll be watching for sure🤙

[@SN0BO4RDER98]

Never watched your content before but this will definitely keep me watching. Great work, keep them coming.

[@jadajada405]

you need a jumpbox , boosted boiz Kyle starts every thing with it

[@phillipward937]

Kyle is too cheap to spend money on batteries, his mind is racing on other things than going to Walmart to pick up a 60 dollar Everstart battery.

[@craigdavies69]

Haha he normally drives around with one hooked up

[@jessepeeters485]

Love the technical stuff. Keep up the good work sir.

[@DirtyEars]

I really like the videos you're making on this project. I like 99% of what you're puttin' out lol, but this stuff is interesting

[@Watchmedome3017]

Trevor you don’t know how smart you really are bro. The amount of work you do with wiring and problem solving you are a genius bro. I love your projects i love this channel. I know for a fact this project is gonna be epic.

[@dirtybubble1728]

So underrated it ain’t fair

[@theupscale7130]

This has been super interesting to follow :D i have an 04 envoy with the 4.2 and i absolutely love this damn truck. Its so cool seeing you guys mess with one, i wish the best!

[@zackperata2847]

So awesome!! Love hearing all the tech talk

[@n84434]

Great info, Trevor. Seems like you’re really Learning a lot about these engines...👍

[@Qgal5kap123]

This is the kinda stuff that makes me excited!

[@PeterAlfonso]

This man out here doing God's work! Funding future swap options

[@andrewbartleman9169]

You have a lot of patience man. I like your work ethic and skills! You get shit done

[@charlesgalea69]

Awesome video today Trev a lot of knowledge really appreciate it awesome watching your contact from Melbourne Australia thanks.

[@blackericdenice]

I rebuilt my 96 Tahoe 5.7 and I installed a hotter cam. I had to swap in a pcm from a 99 Tahoe so I could use HP Tuner. I had to swap around a few pins for the 99 pcm to work. I'm glad I did it because now I understand half of what you are talking about..

[@jjmturbo]

Hoping Trevor can motivate the aftermarket community to give these motors some attention.

[@Finnspin_unicycles]

Would love to see this in an old truck. It's a great time to do some fabrication, as it's labour intensive, but not much materials to buy, so an old truck shell on a newer chassis with this engine could be dope!

[@Kamil-bc4un]

I'm so excited to see how this turns out! I used to have a 2002 Trailblazer with this engine and was always wondering if they were more capable. Hope you can turn it into a monster!

[@4everdizzysworld916]

I had a 03 Trailblazer Ls with a flashed ecu just gov remover basically nothing special and I was able to sit the speedo on the pin wellllll past 120mph racing a older 92 Camaro and I won by a car! Lol loved that truck use to swing it all the time

[@jimdriscoll9404]

Love this content. Want to build a 4200 myself and trying to learn all I can before starting.

[@Mk7_Malvado]

I like your videos Bc u actually work on your cars and don’t do too much talking

[@vinnyvega1985]

Awesome man. Glad people are starting to mess around with these engines. I think there is potential

Next episode: building a new wiring harness for $200 engine

[@santiagoestevez623]

this its the Kind of content i was waiting for im going to be swaping a Haltech elite 2000 on my isuzu Rodeo so im always looking to see how to intereact with the mechanical part of the car I'm an electronic engineer myself so i know the ECU part but the mechanical i want to make sure im doing the things right thanks men keep the good content!

[@usercid640]

I love projects like this

[@jeffgraham48]

Extremely awesome project!! Bro your on to something doing this. Badass!!

[@eddiepatterson5025]

I hope you are continuing on this I’m very interested to see how this turns out. I really think this 4.2 Atlas has the potential. Keep on cracking on it you will get there.

[@petersalas5215]

this is exciting, cannot wait to see the engine rolling in a different chasis@

[@OsdanyPerez]

Speaking a foreign language there trevy 🤣🤣🤣 I'm lost

[@spencerchristie4000]

Its learning by osmosis though, when you tackle a similar job you hopefully will flashback to this.

[@jonathancain8473]

I found this video and page through the fb vortec 4200 performance. Thanks for giving this motor a shot and making series on it. I will like and subscribe for more videos on this build

[@justanibble_2135]

i daily one of these and ive dreamed of this build since i got it thank you so much for makiing a good example

[@ZILAwelds]

That is the video i have been waiting for

[@gabbybridgetndanieldunne443]

I think this is exciting being able to find other diamonds in the rough. i worked on a bunch of they early 4g63 when they were new and i hated those engines they were junk . now with better technology they are amazing engines!

[@CamaroRick]

you can change the sensor to a 2 or 3 bar and scale the ve tables, never seen a tune file for that engine in particular though

[@jdogncars4819]

Stoked bro good content

[@Sloppyjalopy123]

Hell yeah I'm interested in seeing how it does, might open up a whole new world of options 🤞👍.

[@bernardb8045]

Awesome work, very informative

[@shaunpc2512]

I’m really looking forward to seeing how this thing turns out, I’m in the UK but some of these American oddball engines really interest me.

[@christj7073]

Thank you trevy awesome engine pioneering the swap game for us

[@timtiminy]

Thought about this motor in an E46 could be cool. Stoked to see some info on it, always thought they could have some potential.

[@Alexbrandt27]

I really wish there was more on this engine. From a distance it looks like a pretty solid design. Only 470 lbs and even has a main cap girdle. I'd love to mess around with boosting one when I get the time since they are indeed just piled up at the junk yard down the road

[@skunkworks9-3]

May have messed up the throttle body when you were flipping the butterfly. Those gears aren't the most robust and the noise you were hearing could have been that. Think ours on the Saabs don't like being fingered either..lol

[@danieljames5875]

Motion auto TV. Trevor. Finally someone with some experience lol.

[@stever7638]

Awesome work, hope you can get it going. You can also contact Whipple as they had a supercharger for the 02-03 4200 and made it work in an envoy. Maybe they know how to hack the MAP sensor. The blower was removed after a short run, maybe due to trans or rear axle issues. Good luck!

[@djjamesgangemi9294]

Nice work! That looks like a lot of fun. I believe you can raise the rev limit to 7000rpm if you do an upgraded harmonic balancer. That turbo would probably do with the extra headroom quite nicely. ;)

[@yung-qn9nt]

Luv the videos keep up the great work!!

[@normanvapes9197]

Dude! You are a trully master

[@dxd48c]

Great job! love this video.

[@jasonalmont7572]

The one I’ve been waiting for

[@johnykent]

If you pigtailed the throttle body harness u might have the ecus battle for the TB initial position for stock vs whatever you want to input from the standalone. For instance you try to move the TB with the standalone but the stock sees say 1-2 degrees movement and it does the opposite movement which counteracts eht standalone. Nice project there. 💪🏻 Keep it up.

[@510Redneck]

These engines have a VVT on the exhaust side (only the exhaust side). I remember back when they had one of these in small twin turbo set up that they was showing off and thinking about throwing in the SS production line.

[@brentspang9092]

I like this because it's different. I also think it could be pretty badass.

[@peterwall737]

I'm in the UK and I love it 😎 thanks

[@somerandoonline5852]

720 degrees of rotation for crank is 360 for cam. 2 crank rotations is 1 full engine cycle. 1 cam rotation 1 full engine cycle

[@andrewsquire4019]

Loving this👍

[@NatoriousGamePlay]

Apparently the crank is good to something like 1500hp. There's this one car that had the engine swapped in like 2009, made a claimed 1500hp. And there was this one tweet about another car, claiming it made 1300hp. The poster couldn't clarify if it has a custom crank (I doubt it honestly but who knows) as they just posted the car. They were not the builders. Glad this engine is starting to get recognition.

[@johnsimons6748]

Great project, few inline 6 engines left, so this might be a great solution

[@jonsmith7426]

Yea but.. Shhh 2js are 3 grand now. Let's not make these expensive

[@joaorodolphoportodave5280]

can't wait to see it spool up

[@scottgiebler5858]

You can 100% for sure split a vr crank signal. Running a microsquirt piggy backed onto stock dbw ecu on my bike. Works great to 12k rpm

[@outlawcrane1649]

awsome vid as always trevor...keep showing us everything u do.. its awesome how u always give full details in your work with ecu's... i hope someday u will get a microsquirt or megasquirt...they have a auto tune option where it tunes itself.... i would like to see what u would think of that.. im stoked to see this running too.. that engine is gonna spool the s**t out of that turbo lol...

[@MotionAutoTv]

The ECU Master has an auto tune feature as well!

[@outlawcrane1649]

@@MotionAutoTv oh!.. nice.. good to know.

[@leecarver712]

@@MotionAutoTv Hey Trevor why don't you check out Fab-Bot they have a kit with a 4L60 bellhousing comes with flywheel clutch everything and bolts to a Colorado trans. They just hooked TommyFYeah with a couple, watch his last few videos

[@miskone1044]

do you maybe have the polarity for the throttle body motor backwards? also with the crank sensor wires you can normally splice a VR crank signal between 2 ecus without dramas. is the stock ecu still seeing both crank wires?

[@miskone1044]

with no cam signal they run batch which is 135 & 246 for injectors and coils run in wasted spark. i use barra ecus on other engines this way as they're quite tuneable.

[@35RSkyline]

These engines have alot of potential

[@xozindustries7451]

The good part of this ecu is that it forces you to learn hoe the system works, not just plug and pray

[@dxd48c]

great job!

[@Brother2Jis_27s4]

The ecm switches polarity for the throttle body so it can force throttle closure. I believe the ecu masters is capable of that. The inverse is the ground circuit for it and the motor is supplied 2-12v signals and directs 12 volts one way with a ground to open and then the other way for closure. I'd have to look at a gm wiring diagram to verify that's the way its wired factory

[@joecangialose6828]

Been subscribing for a long time, I love how far you're digging into the ECU stuff on this. I have an 04 Envoy myself. How'd you get the fan clutch off?

[@MotionAutoTv]

Use an air hammer to spin the nut

[@AmelsGarage]

Awesome video. Make GMC run great again.

[@Niko9902]

The hall effect senson will send out a digital signal the other one with the AC current is analog and normally the ecu internally has to convert it from analog to digital

[@jahcousteauu_STAYinSHAPE]

Awesome vid… I watched both of the videos on this Gm build, I have a 2007’ 4200 trailblazer LT/2wd tht I’m tryin to turbo this year and I’d love to see about the engine nmbrs and how much power you were able to throw at it… I’m super stoked and excited about this build… I’m just stuck on whether I should turbo my 4.2 or spend even more money and drop in a v8 LS motor, and change up everthing

[@darwinreyes6897]

YESSIIRR AMERABARRA FOR THE WIN

[@rexrunner]

The pedal dbw uses a tac module. Pedal and tac need to match vins. Usually the throttle is reverse sp yellow and brown on tb

[@felixcontreras82]

Update on this please love this

[@xozindustries7451]

You could make a second crank position sensor and just put a 24 minus one wheel on the crank behind the crank pulley and grab a sensor at the junkyard that way you aren't splitting the signal. I had one of those SUV's and I'm pretty sure that computer uses that a RPM signal for everything

[@bushwacker2186]

For the alternator all you need is a 12v key on for the trigger on the alternator to charge

[@White_Knight777]

You gotta upload a video of you doing some pulls with the envoy🔥🔥
