- Finally got the ZZP Tune for my 2018 Cadillac ATS 2.0 Turbo AWD. After installing the ZZP Downpipe, Cold Air intake, Larger Throttle Body and Charge pipe it was the next necessary step. The car is a night and day difference to drive and improved fuel economy is a bonus. Oh and this is a 91 octane tune as it is all that’s available where I live.
Thanks for watching
Great video and exactly what I was looking for as I am looking to purchase 2.0t soon.
Glad you liked it. Honestly these cars are a blast to drive and perform really well stock and amazing when tuned
I’ve been waiting for this!!
Awesome! Man what a difference. 👍🏻
Very interesting, thanks for posting!
No problem at all. Car is a blast to drive. Next step new intercooler and big wheel turbo from ZZP. Stay tuned 😊
Amazing videos
Thank you, just really wanted to see how each of the parts performed individually and as a whole. 👍🏻
great video. love the multiple runs and detail you give from the dragy. temperature makes a huge difference on both turbo and supercharged cars in my experience of owning both. makes sense the first revision wasn't too exciting, but it seemed to have gotten much better by the end. Your stock run was also on the coldest day til the final run haha
Good eye! Temperatures were really not that great for all my pulls but realistic as perfect temp and DA are hard to come by. I’m thinking of doing a couple more pulls with the dragy in the colder temps to see if I can best my time. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
No doubt my ATS hated the Vegas heat plus the high elevation, Cool vid!
Thanks man! I enjoyed watching your videos as well. So far my car has run flawlessly 👍🏻
Why did it hate vegas ? I'm in Vegas and my car runs great
@jesserobledo3439 I choked up the air with all the Bolt ons in the front with stock muffler to stay quiet, Temps always high plus my oversized mishimoto intake was messing up my zzp tune. If I'd do it again I'd go all zzp parts
Nice video. I have just about all ZZ bolt-ons. TB, 3in turbo back, FMIC, e85, charge pipe, intake, spark plugs, catch can. Front/ rear sway bars, end links, BC coil overs, slotted rotors, steel braided lines, strut bar. 2014 AWD
That’s awesome buddy 👍🏻. I know ZZP has some pretty sweet bolt ons for our rides! I’m just not sure what to do next? I’m thinking ZZP larger intercooler or Big Wheel turbo? I’m waiting for their Black Friday Sale 😊
@@Modaddiction19 I'm in the same boat as you. I'm in for 5k in parts and 2k in labor so far. I have about 4,900- 5,600 to fully finish the build. I'm 320 whp and could probably touch 475-500 if the motor doesn't go bang.
Yeah I hear you, it’s going to be a big hit when I do the internals and bigger turbo but I think it will be well worth it 🔥😊
@@frednugent8068 how’s ur build coming bro? All I got rn is the catback. Do u think all the mods are worth it? Lmk if u see this I know it’s been a year
@BandzKidNick it's going well. I never did the internals or bigger turbo, but I'm happy with the car. I got the Renick chassis brace and Firestone Firehawks Indy 500. I also got a 3.99 0-60 on Draggy with my setup. That's the third fastest non V.
Black Magic Racing- Thanks for watching. This car is tuned for 91 Octane as this is the only fuel available to me and is my daily driver.
This video actually helped me to figure out something totally unrelated to the topic lol. After I installed intake on my 2014 Buick Regal with the same engine, I always hear whining noise come out the engine when hard accelerating as you have that too in the video. I thought something was wrong with my intake lol. Guess nah haha.
I’m glad the video helped. I actually use my ZZP Intake in the summer because of how aggressive it sounds then switch back to the stock for the winter for quiet cruising. Thanks for watching 🤘🏻
Keeps us update if something blow up
Let’s hope it all stays together but yes if there is an issue I’ll post it 🤞🏻
@@Modaddiction19been 2 years, don’t know if you still got her of if you got more done, I’ve blown up 2 motors already, if you want to make more than 375, get the cams, forged pistons and rods from zzp, it will not survive that long if you don’t, unless you service everything every month it’ll blow
@@FreddyAWFsup. What do you mean by service everything every month? Just a normal service? And on the motors you blew up what year were they and were you doing top speed runs. I’m interested. Later
@@Jaack89 sorry, worded wrong, by service I meant consistently looking over everything to make sure it’s all intact, and it’s a 2014. I wasn’t doing top speed runs. These 2.0 LTGs just suck, and are known to go out at any moment. Just take care of the motor and you’ll be fine
I have a 2016 basically the same mods with an intercooler. Straight piped from the turbo back. Zzp tuned. My 0-60 run about 4.7-4.8 and a 13.1 quarter. I also launch my car HARD AF haha.
That’s awesome! I know with better weather conditions this car is faster or maybe I just need a driver mod. Lol. I’ll work on my launches. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
@@Modaddiction19 no problem bud. I enjoyed! Yeah so many small things play a factor. Elevation. Air quality. Temperature. So much lol. Solid tires and a hard launch is a must since AWD loses a little power up top.
I agree there are a bunch of different variables that come in to play from vehicle to vehicle but either way it’s been a fun car. 👍🏻
My 2018 ATS Luxury 2.0 is bone stock i just ordered the ZZP cold air intake. I LOVE this car but i don't know if i'm gonna get any more mods. At this point my car is worth MORE now by $5,000+ with 20K more miles on it and the car being 2 years older. Strange inflation times we live in lol. So I think i'm just gonna upgrade in a couple years after I get my house paid off then just buy an ATS-V. COUNTLESS V's with very little mods and become 10 second cars. 🥵🔥
@@EliteOnTheBeat they are strange times we live in. Inflation is absolutely nuts!!! Get that house paid off and you’ll be set in life. Thanks for watching
Nice
Thank you 🙏
Told ya you would love the tune man!
What elevation are you at?
Also an update on the 13, my friends lift FINALLY opened up and we were able to install the 3" zzp cat back exhaust and the zzp intercooler upgrade last week... WOW!
Full list of installed parts so far (all zzp)
CAI
Catch can
Larger throttle body
High flow cat downpipe
(Last tune done here)
3" cat back exhaust
Intercooler
(Recommend a tune again, running rich now)
Still to be installed..
Big wheel turbo
e85 conversation kit
And we'll I'm cheap so I am mostly putting it around until I get the turbo and e85 installed, then it's time to tune!
Intercooler install is, um, fun!😖
Thanks for the update man!
Yeah man tune is amazing! I’m at about 600 feet above sea level.
You have some serious mods I’m getting there slowly but surely. Next mod will be the larger front mount intercooler from ZZP then big wheel turbo. I’m still waiting on stock for the catch can from ZZP. E85 would be awesome but we only have 91 here. Thanks for the update as well 👍🏻
Ugh, I envy your air! IM here in C0 just shy of a mile high.
@@libertyprevailsmedia3065 yeah times are a lot faster here with the better elevation. Really I can’t complain 👍🏻
Big wheel turbo and e85 kit installed, Tim from zzp is currently fine tuning the tune for the last week. Can't wait to be able to make a wide open throttle run here soon!
I've been told by a ton of people to do the intercooler first and that it's definitely worth it. And I dont know whereabouts you are, but up here just outside of Portland OR there is ONE place with e85 within 100 miles or so. A real bummer cuz I was looking at getting the flex fuel kit for the hp gains. Oh well. Your setup looks pretty cool
Eventually I’ll get around to doing the intercooler but at this level of boost and mods there would not be a huge benefit to adding it. Yeah E85 would be nice to have but like you there is nothing close by or available. Thanks for watching
@@Modaddiction19 not true colder air Temps are a huge factor on the ltg intercooler for the win. These intercoolers are jambed in between the radiator and condenser and front mount intercoolers have shown proven gains.
@@illnevertell7863 I do totally agree with you colder more condensed air will always make more power. I think once I add more boost I’ll do the larger front mount intercooler. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
I just added my front mount and I'll tell you it's worth the 800 and the 3 hours. It feels like I went from stock to tuned stage 1.
@@illnevertell7863 awesome! I think I’ll do the same in the fall get the front mount intercooler while I instal the Big Wheel turbo from ZZP. Such a fun car 👍🏻
Isnt the 2016 camero ss on this cadi platform? 455 hp? That sounds badd ass to me...hmm. 20k for one. I was looking at an atsv but why not go for a 2016 camero ss for 10k cheaper?
What is everything you have done to your Cadillac I jus recently got one !
It’s a basic bolt on car. ZZP INTAKE, ZZP larger throttle body, ZZP charge tubes, ZZP Catted 3” Downpipe, custom exhaust with Renick muffler and tips, ZZP custom tune, ZZP Transmission tune. Now just saving for a ZZP BIG WHEEL TURBO 😊 Enjoy your new ATS!!!
Wait you running all of those mods with no tune in the first clip? And then in the second it had all of those mods with the zzp tune? Man that’s crazy Bc I can get like 5.6-5.7 on a stock 2014 2.0T, getting a 2015 soon though.
You are correct my friend. I’m sure with better DA it would have been faster. Thanks for watching
I hit almost 5 seconds in 0-60 with my bone stock 2018 ATS Luxury 2.0. I beat a 2019 Mustang GT and a 2017 Stingray so far. BARELY won but hey winning is winning LMAO.
Gonna upgrade to a ATS-V eventually.
@@EliteOnTheBeat yeah these cars are surprisingly fast. I would love a ATS V but I need AWD where I live for the winters.
You sort of the project ltg page yet on Facebook?
Yeah I follow that page on Facebook. Some really good info on there 👍🏻
Those times are with all those mods? Seems a little lacking for all the money involved.
Honestly I’m pretty happy. This is also tuned for 91 octane so that is a limiting factor. Honestly if I switched over to a flex fuel tune I would probably be mid to high 12’s. Thanks for watching 😊
My stock 2015 Cadillac ATS premium performance rwd 3.6 ran a 13.94 bone stock. Love to put on a procharger
this isn't really all that much money. Hopefully OP gave it some corn juice! E85 with this car is a big difference. I love mine.
Not afraid of your pistons, or this new motors are different?
There is always a risk when modifying any vehicle but yeah I’m aware of the issues but I’m also confident in the parts and tune. Stay posted for any issues or modifications 👍🏻
You know if any of these mods would work on a ‘21 ct5 sport? I can’t find any mod videos anywhere lol
Sorry Jim none of these components will work with your CT5. There really isn’t much of an aftermarket for the CT4 and CT5 cars.
@@Modaddiction19 damn I fucked myself lol
I have a 2015 cts4 with the 2.0t ltg, would the same performance mods that fit ats 2.0t fit my car?? Sorry I'm a honda guy, thanks in advance
I don’t believe all the parts are compatible but if you check out ZZP website they make some parts for your car that will work well. Good luck. Oh and we’ve all owned Honda’s 😉
I have a 2016 ATS coupe, would a stage 1 tune be safe with no mods as a daily?
Honestly I daily drive this car with zero issues. So yes a stage 1 tune from ZZP would be safe to use on your daily with no modifications. You won’t regret it. Make sure to go with the remote tune so you can get everything dialled in and you will also be able to keep your remote start.

Good to know. I just got a 2016 ATS 2.0t AWD for a daily. It’s kind of a dog from a standing start. I think it will get a stage 1 at least.
i drove my dads 14 stage 1 which was on the most aggressive tune setting (330-340) hp and it didn't have issues great speakers, comfy and heated seats and it was smooth when you wanted it to be but if you pushed it you could run 0-60 in about 5 seconds flat it was a great daily and im trying to buy my own
How has the car been doing? Any updates?
Cars been doing really well. Recently had to replace the front park assist sensors but other then that running great 👍🏻
@@Modaddiction19 good to know! I have a 14 ats with the 2.0T. I want to mod, but I've heard so many stories of piston failures I'm scared to mess with it! 60k miles so far.
@@jbanke1 they are definitely not the strongest motors, keep up with regular maintenance and don’t beat it up too hard and you should be ok. If you have some extra cash I’d spend it on new rods and pistons and bullet proof the motor then you’d never have to worry 👍🏻
How to pop the hood on my 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe
Look under the drivers side foot well you will see the hood release, then go to the front of the hood and slide you hand under the hood and push the safety release and there you go. Thanks for watching
Go buy pistons and rings now! My 15 popped cylinder 2 after 85k. Zzp stage 1, with catless and e-85. It wasn’t zzp fault, I got bad e-85. That was all she wrote
Man that sux! I have heard of the problems with the pistons. Let’s hope I get lucky or maybe I’ll make a video for new pistons upgrades. Thanks for watching 😊
Mod, decide now. If you are planning to upgrade internals don't buy their big wheel, you can now go bigger turbo all together! 😎
@@libertyprevailsmedia3065 I’m still on the fence about the upgraded internals right now but I would like a little more power. I still think I’m going to do the ZZP big wheel turbo and ZZP intercooler
Why does the 8 speed seem slower in the 0-60 I’d think the ppposite
I’m not sure? I know with a sticky tire a rear wheel drive can best the AWD times but rear gearing could also effect acceleration times.
@@Modaddiction19 Yeah fr these cars are honestly the biggest sleepers. I’m half tempted to get a tag that says “BabyV” cuz it seems to slay anything a ATS-V doesn’t have time for 😭 the RWD gearing seems to work well for me but i have the 6 spd
@@4everdizzysworld916 I do like that license plate 👍🏻. Definitely a sleeper car I’ve surprised a few people.
how is it that slow to 60? my rwd 2.0 does it in 4.8 secs with only a downpipe
The AWD only really helps my 60’ time but if your getting 4.8 with just a Downpipe that’s great. Imagine if you get a tune you’ll really be fast 👍🏻
I'm wondering the same thing. My self tuned 2013 3.6 AWD does 0-60 in a hair over 5 seconds flat. My wife has a bone stock 2018 2.0t AWD, I'll have to log hers now and see what it does.
Without forged pistons and rings on the LTG your asking for trouble
I don’t want any trouble just a good time. Cars been running great with no problems. Thanks for watching
@@Modaddiction19 , glad you got an aftermarket intercooler that’s important! just keep that boost in check and at least run an e85 setup , ( not sure if your are ? ) for its octane and cooling properties, don’t want to hole those pistons
No E85 I save that for the race cars. I appreciate your concerns on the cooling mods and will consider for future content 👍🏻
AWD?
Yes it’s AWD 👍🏻

Here you go my friend.

What was the price
Have a look on ZZP’s website as they have all the current pricing. I built mine in stages that made it affordable. I’d say about $2500-3000 all in for an amazingly fun car. Hope this helps 👍🏻
Doesn’t it take time too for the tune to kick in ? Like a week maybe???
As soon as you load the new file “tune” change is instant 👍🏻.
@@Modaddiction19 gotcha thanks🙏🏽
No problem at all. Happy tuning my friend
0 60 in 5.7? These feel quick i thought 5.2.....
After getting the car tuned it really woke the car up. It now runs 0-60 in 4.7 seconds. Check my spark plug instal video. At the end I do a pull and it goes 4.9 👍🏻
@@Modaddiction19 people have stories of putting to much stress on this engine I'd probably put a stage one with an exaust....im giving this car to my daughter for her 16th birthday though...i wish I got one like this for my 16th...i was thinking of a cadi ct6 3.0tt? After this one. My buddy at work has a Nissan gtr and laugh at my cadi ats. I told him I'm thinking of a tesla 3 performance and he started sweating bullets...lol.
Man this would make an awesome 16th birthday gift. Honestly probably a little too much power but yeah a Tesla model 3 would be nice 👍🏻
The ONLY thing I don't like about the ats is the cue system. I'm in m.n and the screen cracked from the cold. But I love how it can zigzag with the light weight 2.0 turbo engine...and it looks like a spaceship at night. So cool.
@@Modaddiction19 I accually though about that more than twice..😳 that's alot of car to give to a rookie driver...we live in m.n and sometimes I have 4 vehicles...maybe I should give her one of my jeeps instead.....
Take it out of auto it will do better
Honestly I’ve never tried but I will now. Thanks
