I’ve owned two B58 powered cars and an N54 powered car so boosted i6s are near and dear to me. You def have my interest lol this is such a unique build and that’s what I really enjoy
@that_blobeye_sti I'm assuming a higher loss for an auto and fairly loose converter for drag racing. I'm not sure what kind dyno that is either so don't know what it typically does for loss.
@bcubed72 ya when you are making 200,300 maybe 400hp but the losses don't increase much with more power because why would it so something like 25% doesn't make sense
I'm just glad GM offered this engine, even if they never sold any car here in Brazil, officially, with it. Big displacement I6's like the Barra, the Atlas-6 and even their older siblings, such as the Ford 300, Chevy 250, etc...are a joy. I definitely would like to see one of these 4200's under the hood of an Opala! 🗿👍🏻 And, of course, I hope more and more the aftermarket segment brings support to this platform.
😂😂I'm in Brazil too, Xerem near Rio. I'm American though, when I can take my wife back to Tennessee, I am thinking about putting a Vortec 4200 in my 2004 GTO. I want to ship a clean Brazillian Chevrolet Omega, Opala, Commodore or Chevette coupe back to the USA. 😂
@@hendo337 Dude, an Omega with that powerplant would be WILD! 👏🏻👀 Well, all these cars you mentioned, of course. But the Omega, being so loved both with the good ol' 250-ci as well as the German 3.0 CIH...with a Vortec 4200, it would be like some crazy fusion of the 24v version [never offered here] of the 3.0L and the Chevy 250, hehe!

This is one of the most interesting and niche bits of automotive engineering I've seen in years and breathe of fresh air in such a bland world where everybody flows the same trends.
This is genuinely the dopest camaro build on earth. Hats off, brother!!! And the tuning figures on the screen?? Seriously, youre the man! Cant wait to watch you other vids
Congratulations 🎉🎉 I love these videos where people with creativity take an underrated/underappreciated engine and squeeze every bit of power! Proving everyone wrong... 😊
I’m not really a Camaro fan, but I’m really impressed with the progress you’ve made with this engine in various platforms. It’s cool to see somebody doing something other than the common swaps
I would like to thank you for everything you doing for the Atlas 4200... Every time I see one of your videos, I love my 2002 Trailblazer LTZ 4200 even more!!! Thank you!!!!
Always been an i6 guy too and I knew this engine had potential. Awesome to see someone developing an aftermarket for it. Beautiful car and awesome build.
1,004 hp this is a huge milestone Calvin. You have a lot of time and effort and money invested into the 4.2 Atlas platform. You have come a long way and you earned it. Congratulations to You and your Dad and your family supporting you. God Bless you Calvin.
I came here intially to say that the algorithm hasn't done you justice. The last notification I had was the heartbreak of your rig being stolen. I was devastated to hear of this news at the time especially the epic amount of set backs life has dished your way? So to see this grace my feed I feel overwhelming support for your success into the future! This is going to put you on the map bro. Congratulations Peace and much respect from Australia origibarra 🤪
This is my new new favorite video, you dropping a bit of sauce ingredients with this one… wht turbo did you first use…? To get that 605hp to the wheels? Pls??
Congrats, Nivlac57, on hitting an incredible milestone of 1000 wheel horsepower! I've been following the development closely, and it's been amazing to watch. I believe there’s even more potential in that engine-can’t wait to see where you take it next! Keep pushing the limits!
Hell Yeah brother! Big congrats to broke that 1000hp barrier, I LOVE inline 6's in general, of all types and sizes but the fact that this is an american one, that's to far from the development of a RB, or JZ, o barra engine, same with the aftermarket support, is just amazing what you've done to this platform dude, and I really thank you for the time and effort you, your family and the people that make parts for the engine spent, seriously. I hope in the future to see even more progress and upgrades you can do to the platform, a bigger turbine housing is a must i think with that backpressure. Great Job buddy! Now enjoy the Car and make it go to the 8's!
I cant even find these engines in my local junkyard anymore. Someone came and bought all the engines. Same goes for the 1zz corolla engines as well as 03-06 camry engines.
@@Calvin-Nelson that's nice to know. Someone in my area is obviously fixing these engines and selling them for a much higher price. Prices are kinda going up on them online from what i can see.
Nice build man. Inline 6 engines are my preference. Smooth and lots of torque. It's no doubt an accomplishment to say you've hit 1000hp.. but you should tune it to how it drives the best. (Could be higher or lower). I remember watching a video of that rat rod LunchMoney go up against a crazy HP corvette.. he smoked him every time.. the trick is usable HP, and I'm sure you already know. Your car sounds really good too, just a raw powerful sound.
Very cool, so happy for you guys. If I may make an off the cuff observation and get right to the point? Ya'll are out of turbine, it was choked from the first pull. Now for all the wordy stuff... Edit: I wrote this only watching to 8:20. Glad to see you agree. 😁 If I had to wager without looking at a map and having no idea what compressor you all are running I'm guessing you still have a lot of compressor left, but that turbine is flat out done with a capital D. The negative delta P is pretty off the charts IMO. What made my systems different is I always maxed out a smaller compressor (To keep spool reasonable) and free'd up the turbine side to make power by increased BSFC and lower pressure ratio...MUCH happier engine. Cooling the intake charge is much easier than trying to make a constipated engine live long and make power. An easy fix and to see what you're leaving on the table, just go up an A/R size on the turbine housing and the results should open your eyes wide. LOL I have no idea what turbo you're running or I'd be happy to help with more info. FWIW I was the head R&D engineer for a major turbo manufacturer you would recognize instantly and went off and started my own turbo kit company and ended up selling it. Now I just play around and have fun. You guys caught my attention because I've always said this platform was a hidden gem. I regret never developing a turbo kit for the Atlas Trailblazer. I'd love to get an SS and swap a built, turbo 4.2 in. LOL
We know certain paths are easier to get where you want to, and most people will default to them. But few think that someone had to be the first to try, to figure things out and create solutions. Someone had to work hard and prove it's possible. I can feel the excitement from achieving such a milestone. After all the difficulties that come from taking a different way, a worthy reward.
Wish this was done with the 3.6l v6 in the camaro. This is a good engine, but if your going to hunt down & buy a specific engine, there are better engines you can buy. Also, my tuner adds or decreases timing after the base tune, rather then mess around with timing toward the end when your running high boost.
I love seeing the on screen data in your video's. As an Aussie ute driver with a turbo barra in it, it's great to see something out of the US that's not a V8. Your videos are also really informative and I love that Camaro.
Horsepower is 1004, so using a BSFC of 0.60 and 76% Duty Cycle for 6 injectors I calculate about 132# injectors… You’re running 39-psi of boost pressure, so that is roughly a 273% increase in power of the engines natural aspiration. And the difference between your 1004 horsepower which includes that 273% power increase would be about; * 269.5 HP (NA) * 735 HP (39-psi) Totaling 1004 HP Not bad! 👍
I remember reading an article about the 4200 Nova wagon making 1300hp at 18psi boost. Yeah, right 😄 Btw it looks like you need the next bigger a/r turbine housing, back pressure is too much. It will make same power at lower boost level with better flowing hot side, Im glad you are monitoring it.
I think its a .96AR open T4 7675 Precision. If so, he needs a 85 turbine wheel or switch to the next gen 8080 with the largest hotside they offer in an open format
@@trailerparkcryptoking5213 1:1 or near it is optimal. Less backpressure than boost is great, but rare to see in a single turbo application making big power in a 3+ liter powerplant. worst case scenario to stay out of the red zone, 1.5 to 1 BP. Once you start getting past 1.5 to 1, the exhaust will want to not evacuate out of the cylinder, causing power loss, detonation, all types of issues that result in reduced performance. Car wont pick up power when you try to add boost, itll ping in the midrange and upper rpm, you also risk reducing the life of the turbo itself.
& thank you to ur supporters for all the assistance! I felt for you so much after you pop's accident, then ur whole rig & lark being taken from you! (( im still hoping for it to pop up someday & it be able to resurrected.))
I love your content bro. You paved the way for us to have access to mods specifically for what everyone calls "a lil 6 banger" just with my chip I'm putting out right at 340hp and that's probably to the crank I have no idea yet
CONGRATS to you & ur dad for all the hard work! Congrats to ur mom & brother for being there for your journey! I know ur family is always involved with with you do. Time to get your mom back in the driver seat & post some videos!
That very well could have happened in stock form, if back in the early 70’s they let the Holden engineers develop an overhead cam variant of the locally designed 202ci i6 that they where using at the time because the commodore from its release in 78 up until 86 used the 202 i6 but it was getting old, outdated and was struggling to meet emissions and fuel efficiency standards and they where also short on money so they opted for the Nissan rb30 up until the new platform vn commodore where they used the Buick 3800 v6, instead of a new head design on their existing engine like Ford did with the crossflow i6. And the reason I say it could have happened is because someone did develop a dual overhead cam 202 head on their own and it was putting impressive numbers out, and that’s pretty much what ford did the with the Barra in the falcon, get the old Intech i6 engine and put a new DOHC head on it.
@@Gengargamer2_ 3800 being discontinued before the G8 launched, left the G8 only a couple of options for the base model. Could have went with a boosted ecotec 4 cylinder like from the sky or solstice. Pass. They used the 3.6, which was meh at best in the beginning. Better in later years after they fixed some issues. Or the Atlas engines. 4200 I think would have been fantastic as a base model option for the g8. All aluminum, super efficient, vvt, manual option, etc. In my mind would have been the better choice from the factory because before they closed the doors on Pontiac, GM was getting ready to rebrand Pontiac as a luxury sports car company. All rwd. Go directly after bmw and Mercedes and all that. Having an i6 from factory not only would have it compete with the Ford falcon, but the BMWs of the time. Shame it never happened, would have been sick to see a 4.2 i6 g8 with some turbos or a supercharger.
Im from UK and have never heard of this engine before... Love what you have done here... its weird to see American cars with 6cylinder as we assume they are all V8... I love 6s in all guises 👌
I see the icon and I click...time to satisfy the hp bug with a 4200. I have always been partial to 6 cylinder engines. Can you imagine prowling the streets with that sleeper LOL
Super cool. And you’re in PA!!?!?!? Would be cool to see a v6 g8 get the atlas motor and a Holden front end conversion but the Camaro just makes more sense
I’m putting a 4200 in my ford ranger. I don’t know what to do for a manual transmission and transfer case. I can divorce the t-case. Help me please lol you’ve got me hooked btw 👍🏼
Congrats, that's an awesome goal to reach !!! Definitely time to step away from the budget turbo and step up to a Bullseye or Comp. I know you're aware but, for those that aren't, A higher quality turbo gives you, A more efficient compressor (= more air @ less heat) can make more power @ lower boost. A larger, more efficient turbine. Iiiiit's tiiiiimmmeeee 😊
Hey there Calvin is me (guy who tried to convince you to do a drift build) and I’m doing one myself! I taught myself how to weld and I will start making intakes for them! Also, I need some help building one..
I have a 2004 Isuzu accender with the 4200 I always said not much on the road that will just leave me in the dust it's a sleeper I've taken wel care of her had 62thousand when I got her now knocking on 300thousand and it runs like new still I am truly in love with the truck great gas mileage but has the power . 7 thousand rpm no redline so I assume it's got 10thousand rpm valve springs still sound like it's got 50 thousand miles on the dash. This motor in a s10 standard would be a beautiful site to see thanks for sharing the hard work I love the car!!! Ps I always change oil never missed a change i think that's the key of longevity.
Hell yeah, congrats! I was thinking the same thing about the exhaust side of the turbo when I was seeing those numbers. I’m not a pro turbo spec guy but I was thinking it might need more turbine and housing. However, then you might need a little spray to light it. 1000 wheel is badass from a 6 cylinder SUV engine. Let’s see how much more these can do before it needs a billet block and head😁
What AR is the turbine housing. With 58psi of back pressure and 40lbs of boost id imagine you should be able to crack 1,000 with 36-37lbs and a bigger back housing.
You definitely need a better intercooler now! That climb from 85 out to 130 is concerning, I bet if you got a bettor one you would get better results power wise with keeping that intake temp down.
The 1990 C4 Corvette ZR-1 with the 5.7 liter LT5 was GM’s first DOHC engine. The Northstar didn’t appear until 1995. The 5.7 LT5 was a better engine but like all DOHC engines it still had its problems and was more complex than it needed to be.
Dang right cal ... that is radical af man . Mad props and respect .. peace and love, brotha, keep it rad ,stay safe, and build on..l8r famz and keep having fun
I’ve owned two B58 powered cars and an N54 powered car so boosted i6s are near and dear to me. You def have my interest lol this is such a unique build and that’s what I really enjoy

Congrats on an absolutely mental build. Get a nice 700hp “kit” together and you’ll be a millionaire thanks to the junkyards of America in no time
A sharp looking package that backs up its good looks........👍👍
Congratulations, It has been a heck of a journey --- Thanks for sharing
I love your content bro. You paved the way for us to have access to mods specifically for what everyone calls "a lil 6 banger" just with my chip I'm putting out right at 340hp and that's probably to the crank I have no idea yet
What a way to see your efforts paying off. Congrats!
CONGRATS to you & ur dad for all the hard work!
Congrats to ur mom & brother for being there for your journey!
I know ur family is always involved with with you do.
Time to get your mom back in the driver seat & post some videos!
That live dyno feed is crazy
Fuel flow like oh shit
8:58 it's a Chevy straight six the most slept on and they got the nerve to put dual overhead cams you just unlocked Bowtie Magic
Id love to swap one into a G8. Make an American Ford falcon. Bucket list build fr
That very well could have happened in stock form, if back in the early 70’s they let the Holden engineers develop an overhead cam variant of the locally designed 202ci i6 that they where using at the time because the commodore from its release in 78 up until 86 used the 202 i6 but it was getting old, outdated and was struggling to meet emissions and fuel efficiency standards and they where also short on money so they opted for the Nissan rb30 up until the new platform vn commodore where they used the Buick 3800 v6, instead of a new head design on their existing engine like Ford did with the crossflow i6. And the reason I say it could have happened is because someone did develop a dual overhead cam 202 head on their own and it was putting impressive numbers out, and that’s pretty much what ford did the with the Barra in the falcon, get the old Intech i6 engine and put a new DOHC head on it.
@@Gengargamer2_ 3800 being discontinued before the G8 launched, left the G8 only a couple of options for the base model. Could have went with a boosted ecotec 4 cylinder like from the sky or solstice. Pass. They used the 3.6, which was meh at best in the beginning. Better in later years after they fixed some issues. Or the Atlas engines. 4200 I think would have been fantastic as a base model option for the g8. All aluminum, super efficient, vvt, manual option, etc. In my mind would have been the better choice from the factory because before they closed the doors on Pontiac, GM was getting ready to rebrand Pontiac as a luxury sports car company. All rwd. Go directly after bmw and Mercedes and all that. Having an i6 from factory not only would have it compete with the Ford falcon, but the BMWs of the time. Shame it never happened, would have been sick to see a 4.2 i6 g8 with some turbos or a supercharger.
Awesome work guys. Very happy for all of you! Maybe in a future video you could go into depth on turbine back pressure.
Congratulations, we are so happy for you, best wishes from Puerto Rico
Amazing work!
Great job. Hard work and perseverance pays off. Wishing you all the luck in the future as you put the car through its paces.
Not usually my cup of tea at all, except for this one. This thing is awesome!!!! It's like the American Supra.
Im from UK and have never heard of this engine before...
Love what you have done here... its weird to see American cars with 6cylinder as we assume they are all V8...
I love 6s in all guises 👌
Congratulations on the thousand! 🎉
Been watching for awhile now and proud to see you guys doing everything you do
I see the icon and I click...time to satisfy the hp bug with a 4200. I have always been partial to 6 cylinder engines. Can you imagine prowling the streets with that sleeper LOL
4200 was rated a top 10 motor for 4 years in a row by Ward's 100.
2 nivlac57 uploads in a week, christmas came early
Awesome to see you get here. CONGRATULATIONS🎉 Can't wait to see how it is going to rip up the track.
Super cool. And you’re in PA!!?!?!? Would be cool to see a v6 g8 get the atlas motor and a Holden front end conversion but the Camaro just makes more sense
I’m putting a 4200 in my ford ranger. I don’t know what to do for a manual transmission and transfer case. I can divorce the t-case. Help me please lol you’ve got me hooked btw 👍🏼
You should upload a video about it if you ever do it; that would be awesome!
@ I’m gonna do my best to document it when the time comes lol
Amazing accomplishment with 4200! Great work everyone
Congrats brother 🙌
Congrats, that's an awesome goal to reach !!!
Definitely time to step away from the budget turbo and step up to a Bullseye or Comp.
I know you're aware but, for those that aren't,
A higher quality turbo gives you,
A more efficient compressor (= more air @ less heat) can make more power @ lower boost.
A larger, more efficient turbine.
Iiiiit's tiiiiimmmeeee 😊
Definitely needs a t4 s480 with a 96mm turbine and 1.25 hotside.
Congratulations! Looks like you guys are going to be on the road to 7's in the next couple of years with this platform!
You guys are killing it!
Congrats!! Thanks for all your videos and for sharing your work
Hey there Calvin is me (guy who tried to convince you to do a drift build) and I’m doing one myself! I taught myself how to weld and I will start making intakes for them! Also, I need some help building one..
I have a 2004 Isuzu accender with the 4200 I always said not much on the road that will just leave me in the dust it's a sleeper I've taken wel care of her had 62thousand when I got her now knocking on 300thousand and it runs like new still I am truly in love with the truck great gas mileage but has the power . 7 thousand rpm no redline so I assume it's got 10thousand rpm valve springs still sound like it's got 50 thousand miles on the dash. This motor in a s10 standard would be a beautiful site to see thanks for sharing the hard work I love the car!!! Ps I always change oil never missed a change i think that's the key of longevity.
Hell yeah, congrats! I was thinking the same thing about the exhaust side of the turbo when I was seeing those numbers. I’m not a pro turbo spec guy but I was thinking it might need more turbine and housing. However, then you might need a little spray to light it. 1000 wheel is badass from a 6 cylinder SUV engine. Let’s see how much more these can do before it needs a billet block and head😁
What AR is the turbine housing. With 58psi of back pressure and 40lbs of boost id imagine you should be able to crack 1,000 with 36-37lbs and a bigger back housing.
Can you do a pros/cons video of the 2JZ vs the 4200?
Not a bad idea. I like it
@@Calvin-Nelson hell yeah, that would be awesome, thanks!
Fantastic!
Such a clean build, thanks for sharing.
You definitely need a better intercooler now! That climb from 85 out to 130 is concerning, I bet if you got a bettor one you would get better results power wise with keeping that intake temp down.
You're probably right, but it's obviously flowing somewhat decent.
The 1990 C4 Corvette ZR-1 with the 5.7 liter LT5 was GM’s first DOHC engine. The Northstar didn’t appear until 1995. The 5.7 LT5 was a better engine but like all DOHC engines it still had its problems and was more complex than it needed to be.
Dang right cal ... that is radical af man . Mad props and respect .. peace and love, brotha, keep it rad ,stay safe, and build on..l8r famz and keep having fun
well done cal it's good to here the old 6 ring it's ear off almost sounds like a barra😁😂cheers from down under
Awesome to see your hard work come together 👌
Way to go!
Knew it was coming, man...
Congratulations great numbers
Makes you wonder why GM didn't offer a boosted version of this engine in their sports cars. Would draw lots of attention and compete with the imports.
They were developing it. Then the recession of 2008 hit and the engine was discontinued
