I literally followed this entire video with my new 2014 cts 2.0T, thank you so much for this video brother! My turbo is so much louder especially in the exuast, and it makes much better torque! I love it!
I just bought a renick performance under chassis brace for my car! I can feel it tightened up and stiffer, got my lowering springs on the way and just got my suede steering wheel! As soon as I get a nice day I gotta silicon seal my zzp downpipe and install GFB DV+ on my turbo! Ptp turbo blanket was a great investment!!
Hey man, last year I was searching everywhere for someone who had a video like this haha, Finally came across this vid today and man you did a great job! Good camera angles as well make this a good vid for using as reference when I get my stuff from ZZP!
@@boost_kingz it's normal with these cars, so nothing to flip out about. Just tell them to make sure the bottom tank is half full and top tank is at the max fill line. Of course check it on level surface and once it's cool (owner may not know).
It must be a GM thing. I have a 2015 Cadillac ATS premium performance with the 3.6 rwd and bought it Cadillac certified a year old with only 30,000 miles and mine was low. Under warranty I took to the dealership worried there was a leak I couldn't find or something crazy bad like a head gasket! All topped off and a few years later and another 20,000 miles all good, thank God lol
I know others have mentioned the coolant. My ATS, and many others from what I hear, developed a leak in the "Y" part of the return hose. Please have your friend check that hose. In my car, it actually was leaking onto the ECU that is practically below it and corroded pins and the connectors causing check engine lights, poor performance, possibly shorting out the throttle position sensor, and darn near a thousand dollars in shop time tracking down the issues. The dealership actually wanted to replace the ECU and repin the harness, splicing in new cables. They quoted $2,000 to fix an issue caused by a simple leak. Definitely work checking out and fixing if it is leaking. I actually have a video where I tried to clean up the corrosion. If you want to see the extent of the damage caused by that hose, feel free to check it out. TL:DR please have him check the y cable going into the coolant bottle for leaks.
Did you have to install the spacer for the O2 because no cat and is high flow and to keep from codes popping up? That part looks like the o2 sensor code cheater.
Nice. Just got a 2016 ats 2.0t awd sedan myself recently so will be watching for future vids too. Installing that front sway bar looks like it's gonna be a job.
Intake is great upgrade, but Don't forget to remove noise restrictor in intake tube as well on 2.0L. It's is what causes bogg when you step on accelerator.
Yeah that’s not true at all. It doesn’t reduce flow making to car “bog” as you so eloquently put it… it’s to silence the turbo and it also serves to help keep oil out of the turbo. Like the man above me said, catch can the LTG! I have one installed on mine and you wouldn’t believe how much crap is in there from water to oil and other contaminates, with out that catch can that all goes back in the motor and coats the valves and everything. This stuff is so gross it ate the paint of the inside of my catch can. You don’t want that shit in your motor!!! I run mobile one 5w30 ESP also!!
Have u gotten any ecl after installing all parts?just installed corsa 14888 on my ats 2.0t and looking to replace down pipe with zzp and replace the throttle body
I was just speaking with the owner about doing another install in the spring. He asked about the front sway bar install and i think that the only way i will be able to install the front sway bar is to lower the front aluminum sub frame. He has more parts on order and there will be another install in the beginning of spring if not sooner. Stay tuned! More mods on the way!!!
@@frednugent8068 so was i but a cutout right after my zzp catted down pipe gives it a split personality and it troubles old guys they just dont understand that noise
@@frednugent8068 if a dealer or a oil change place is doing your oil change. Theres a 90% chance they're putting conventional or recycled synthetic oil or a blend that how they make money by cheaping out on the oil they put in customers car. You're better off doing the oil change yourself that way you know what you're putting on it.
@@YanilMiami305 my friend works at the place where I get it done and he hasn't said that to me. Unless he's a shitty friend and is keeping that from me
@@frednugent8068 is it a local mechanic shop. ? Or one of those quick oil change places? Like jiffy lube? Sometimes their employees don't even know cause they just get paid to change oil all day
@@StyleByHector I haven't put it on the dyno yet. What ZZ told me and doing some research it will be 40-60 hp and 100tq. To the wheels, it's probably 280 up from 220. It's not verified until I get it on the dyno.
The ats is a totally under rated and slept on car. It has so much potential and is amazing even stock. Once you start modifying these cars and making more power it’s hard to stop! The LTG is a great motor if you care for it. If you don’t it will bite you in the ass!!
The first Cadillac had this red colour. 1900s!

I noticed the coolant reservoir (bottom chamber is empty), fill it about halfway (there is a marking).
I will ask the owner to double check that.

The Y hose exploded on me a year ago but it didn’t do any damage just a mess. got it replaced by chevy for like 80 bucks
Enjoy watching these videos well put together

No issues so far.
No cel
Maybe I need to upgrade my 2013 ATS 2.0T AWD Premium Luxury? I love how it drives and that would make it even more fun!!! Looks like a great system.
I would. My car is full stage 2 now and I'm loving it.
DO IT!!! Zzp for the win!!

Something tells me 2 things 1. Thats Lous Car & 2 That lift and Tools & your know how Have literally paid for the house.....Bravo! & Nice !
Did you hook ‘em up with that dexcool add mod? Just kidding. Nice vid!
Did you ever get the front sway bar installed? I have a 3.6 awd that needs some new sway bars and coilovers
I was just speaking with the owner about doing another install in the spring. He asked about the front sway bar install and i think that the only way i will be able to install the front sway bar is to lower the front aluminum sub frame.

Nice job Budddddddie
Thanks pal!
How do you like it with all the upgrades?
He is very pleased!
Reply to these folks Fred.
They want to know about your mods.
:0)
@@boost_kingz I'm happy but it makes you want more power.
Do you need a tune
Absolutely
Dude awesome job how much this setup cost
It cost 4,200 for parts and labor.
I plan on getting big wheel turbo, front mount inter cooler, BC coilovers, trailing arms and E85 as well. Cost 3,200 + labor
Bro u the best but does need tune in first setup?
@@propro3183 For sure
@@frednugent8068 wow! That’s a lot man!! I’ll be doing 90% of the work myself. The money I save will go towards more parts!
Will the ZZP work on a 2013

I honestly do not know.
Jr if your referring to the exhaust no.
Now how much would you charge me to do that ? 😉
Install a ok. Music not so much. But thanks for showing us your skills 👍🙏🏼

Put a K&N oil filter on that thing along with pennzoil full synthetic. That 3 dollar oil filter ain't no good. For the engine
I will mention that to the owner.
Its full synthetic oil wise and it gets changed every 3k. I will look at getting the K&N the next time it needs an oil change.

That thing is a time bomb with an intake and downpipe on stock tune. Hope that owner gets it tuned or you'll be doing an engine swap next
I believe he did get a tune as well, I'll wait for him to chime in on that.
