The American 2JZ? Big Turbo Chevy Trailblazer ATLAS Motor Review!

The Chevy Trailblazer had a "cool" version called the Chevy Trailblazer SS. LS powered, fun, and fairly quick. However the unsung hero of American engines is actually in the more basic trim level - the 4.2L Atlas inline six engine. Nicknamed the "ameri-barra" the engine is more than capable than over 500 horsepower when a big turbo is slapped on. Jonathan built this car for three months on and off - and the result is honestly shocking for such a short time frame. So let's talk about it.

@@matthewadkins9810 fr I feel like GM especially sandbagged on a lot of cooler cars to keep them in the right market. Like the ls4 Impala ss and the Silverado ss both had stupid cheap set backs that could have made them so much more attractive now. Like honestly.. how much harder would it have been to make the Impala RWD. Which also woulda solved the trans issue.

Plumb a turbo and get it tuned. This one's turbo is mounted way at the top, but there is a huge empty space between the engine and right frame rail.

[@shept.7736]

The atlas isn't just one inline 6. It's actually a family of engines using the same basic architecture, similar to gms ls or small blocks. Other than the inline 6, there is a 4 cylinder as well as a 5 cylinder, and those can vary in displacement depending on the year. It's a shame they didn't utilize these more outside of the GMT335-345-360 chassis, but thankfully the 360 in particular had 6 different brands selling essentially the same suv. You could also get these with v8s, but the 4200 is the most common.

[@BuffBroc]

The most insanely awesome engine sound I've ever heard was from a Kansas City area Chevy Colorado RWD with the 3.7L Atlas inline-5. This was around 2013-2014 and the owner had slammed the truck coilovers from a different vehicle and fitted the engine with 5" horn length ITBs (individual throttle bodies for those not in the know) and he ran 5 individual exhaust pipes the same diameter as the header pipes all the way to the rear with each pipe exiting through the custom rear bumper. I guess you could call them full length equal length headers? He said there wasn't a collector but the exhaust pipes were connected to header pipes via clamps. Sounded like a werewolf howling at the moon. Closest thing to the Porsche Carerra GT or Lexus LFA sound I think you could get without actually coming from those cars. No idea how much power it made but he claimed 75hp and 100 lb-ft over stock. Honestly I wouldn't care if it lost some power because the sound alone would more than make up for that IMO. I'd like to see a similar setup with the Atlas 4.2 to see if it sounds close to a V12 engine.

While fixing it, i couldn't help but to think "whoa, i didn't know these came straight 6! And " i should get one, bore it to 5.0, forge the engine out and turbo it"... Sweet truck💪

[@kingston1547]

I inherited one of these from my grandpa, and I spent weeks learning how to tune it. With heavier injectors, a TB spacer, a gigantic pod filter, and some major ECU mods, I got 300 at the wheels and was able (after a lot of work) to run e85 and push it to 305. Fuel economy stayed really flat at 14 even after tuning. Not amazing but it was super fun! I also had nearly zero exhaust on it, it was a pipe and a muffler. And it's NECESSARY to tune these, I don't know why but you just cannot get easy power on an atlas 6 without either short exhaust, or an expensive high flow system. They really struggle to breathe. Well at least my early model atlas did, I hear the head was way more optimized in later versions. The early ones are also super susceptible to blowby, piston slap, and bad piston rings. Cylinder 4 is blown on mine.

It would've made the 4.8L LS pointless and it might've even cut into sales of the 5.3. These inline 6s were HEAVILY detuned from the factory and the factory cam profiles are pathetic too. The 4.8/5.3 were much cheaper to manufacture and shared all parts with each other except for the crank, connecting rods and pistons.

I had a Saab 97X with this engine, I think the chassis was slightly tuned different because my uncle had a Trailblazer and while they're very much the same the Saab felt a little more tight and snappier. It was a great vehicle and since it was a 'Saab' all the other people who owned Saabs would smile and wave - which are not many left. The engine was buttery smooth, however, when the water pump went out, it was a very difficult job and those pumps are knowning for failing due to their design.
