Chevrolet Blazer Engines
Under the name Blazer, Chevrolet produced several different models in their design. In 1969, the production of the two-door pickup K5 Blazer began. The line of motor units consisted of 2 units, the volume of which was: 2.2 and 4.3 liters.
A feature of this car was the use of a removable kung in the rear. The restyling of the model was carried out in 1991, its name was changed to Blazer S10. Then a version with five doors appeared, in which only one type of engine was installed, the volume of which was 4,3 liters, with a capacity of 160 or 200 hp. In 1994, a model was released specifically for the South American market.
It has a more aggressive appearance, as well as a modified line of power plants. It contains two gasoline units, with a volume of 2.2 and 4.3 liters, as well as a diesel engine, the volume of which was 2.5 liters. The car was produced until 2001. However, already in 1995, Chevrolet released Tahoe, which
In 2018, it is planned to resume production of the Blazer model in North America. This car was created completely from scratch. It will be equipped with all the modern technologies that are used in other Chevrolet models.
As power units, a four-cylinder gasoline engine with a volume of 2.5 liters will be used, as well as a 3.6-liter unit with six cylinders arranged in a V-shape.
First generation Blazer engines
The most common internal combustion engine is an American unit with a volume of 4.3 liters. It functions in conjunction with a four-speed automatic transmission. Many owners of this car note that this gearbox does not function quite correctly: power failures periodically occur.
Despite this, a car with this engine under the hood accelerates to 100 km / h in 10.1 seconds. The maximum speed of the American Blazer is 180 kph. The highest torque is reached at 2600 rpm, and is 340 Nm. It also uses a distributed fuel injection system.
The Brazilian engine, with a volume of 2.2 liters, is a reliable and durable power unit. It is worth noting that driving performance leaves much to be desired. The power figure is only 113 hp. This motor unit pulls well at low crankshaft speeds.
However, when it comes to driving at speed, it feels like a car that weighs about two tons is clearly lacking in power. The manufacturer states that it is possible to use both 95 and 92 gasoline fuels. This car is far from economical.
In the best case, when driving on the highway, the car will consume 12-14 liters per 100 km. In the combined cycle with a quiet ride, fuel consumption is from 16 liters. And if you move in a dynamic mode, this figure completely exceeds the mark of 20 liters per 100 km. The 2.2-liter engine often runs at its maximum capacity. However, due to its robust design and high quality
The diesel power plant with a volume of 2.5 liters develops a power of 95 hp. This motor was installed quite rarely, and it is not possible to meet it on our roads. The amount of torque is 220 hp. at 1800 rpm. Fuel is injected directly into the combustion chambers. It was equipped with a turbocharger. This engine is not picky about fuel quality, and works in conjunction with a five-speed manual gearbox or four-speed automatic transmission.

The interior is made using modern technologies. Each element looks elegant and harmoniously fits into the overall interior of the car.
The basic equipment of the car includes: front and side airbags, 1-inch alloy wheels, xenon low and high beam headlights, a media center with an 8-inch display, dual-zone “climate control”, etc. Branded wheels can be purchased as additional options. 21 inches, panoramic roof, heated steering wheel, etc.

Especially for this car, 2 power units were developed, working in conjunction with a 9-speed automatic transmission. They both operate on gasoline fuel and are equipped with a "Start-Stop" system to achieve higher efficiency levels.
- The 5-liter naturally aspirated engine, with the EcoTec system, has direct injection, 16-valve timing, and a variable valve timing mechanism. Its power is 194 horsepower at 6300 rpm. The torque at 4400 rpm is 255 Nm.
- The second power unit has a volume of 3.6 liters. It has six cylinders arranged in a V-shape. This engine is equipped with a direct injection system, two phase shifters on the intake and exhaust strokes, as well as a 24-valve gas distribution mechanism. This power plant has a capacity of 309 horsepower at 6600 rpm. The torque is 365 Nm at 5000 rpm.
In the stock version, the car is equipped with front-wheel drive. In an all-wheel drive transmission, a multi-plate clutch transfers power to the rear axle of the vehicle. There are also two Blazer models, RS and Premier, which will come with all-wheel drive from GKM.
This system uses two clutches: one controls the electronic systems and transmits torque to the rear axle of the car, and the other is responsible for locking the rear axle differential.
