Each vehicle project will have to push the envelop, so I'm thinking the next one is either going to be a TT Saab 6L90 (all Saabs should be turbos!) or 4.2L 6L80 Colorado/Canyon. But, the next vehicle is getting getting lined. I already decided to sell this TB to a friend who is using and loving my TBRS 1.0, so no Forced Induction in this build.just a quick conversion and back on the road. So, after we do this truck, we may start getting clean 02-09 GMT355/360's (Envoy, Bravada, Rainier, Trailblazer, Ascender, 9-7x, Colorado, Canyon) and doing upgraded 06+ 4.2L ( )%C2 6L80 swaps complete with warranties and custom upgrades as requested. He has the hands and space and I have the custom parts and programming know-how. I'm working with an ambitious local shop who is very interested in "assembly lining" this. If people have the ability to do the labor, you could do this swap on a budget to any GMT355/360 for $5k or less. As I previously stated, with the onset of 4-6 cylinder performance becoming more common place (plus easier and cheaper to work on in vehicle originally designed for V8's), I'm gonna jump into this deeply.

Adjust tuning until mid-to-low 13's are accomplished and then go TBSS hunting while enjoying 25+ MPG on regular octane gas. Garnish with nice 20's, a TBSS rear bumper with high flow exhaust and our custom valance for twin tips. Mix liberally with a handful of custom TBM parts, 3.73 gears, and custom EFILive tuning tricks to unlock the torque management restrictions.Ĭontemplate making necessary high performance parts toward twin scroll twin turbo/supercharged build (aka limited slip front diff, high flow oil pump, Intake/headers, etc.) So, I'm take one unsuspecting 2008 4200 Vortec 4.2L I6 4WD Trailblazer with a blown engine. I was looking for a Saab 9-7X, but came across an alternative I couldn't pass up. Well, Trailblazer RS 1.0 (5.3L 4WD 6L80) was such a smashing success (until the DoD/AFM failed) that I decided to BAM it up notch and show how you can indeed run a 6L80/90 behind any engine.V or otherwise.Īfter realizing that high output and twin turbo I4/I6 cylinders are the future, I decided to revisit the past and kick it up a notch.
