Thanks for the video brother, greetings from Toronto. Is it worth it? Might have been just the video but it didn’t seem to pull any harder than my stock 2.0T ATS
V-nights, I saw a comment from you on another video about connecting the tuner to a PC for the first time.. how do you install the updater on the intune I2? just download to pc, then drag to the I2 device? thanks
Holly now owns diablosport. I used Diablo in a 2001 trans am with an ls6 swap and it worked nicely, very detailed changes for a handheld. Now I have a 2016 ATS 2.0T, I directly contacted Diablo/Holley and they said their stuff won't work on 16+up,,, only 13-15
@@rays-777 thanks a lot for that! I wasnt sure about the transmission but that helped. Btw if you increase line pressure the transmission will slam into gear(shift into the next gear quicker) causing less slipping. Less time and slip=less heat and wear. Heat is the enemy at all times in an automatic transmission.
Hey big thing I forgot to mention. I talk to Diablo techs they recommend narrowing the ATS 2.0t spark plugs at .028 to .030 so i currently gapped mine at .030 and even w/o the tune it noticeably accelerated better.
@@rays-777 I'm gonna try Ngks I got a bit wasted last night and just bought it all KN filter downpipe and borla exhaust to go with it also some octane booster and royal purple ice supossed to make the coolant run 25 degrees colder fuck it yolo
Just bought a '14 2.0t w 45k on in it. Want it to stay reliable for when wifeys driving it, but need just a little more outa the car performance wise. What are your thoughts?
Still have DS but not using it cuz my smog is up next month and I plan on passing it w/o the headache. Haven't used it in a long while now and have had NO problems with the car since.
@@Daniel-bh4px The issue went away after I installed a catch can. I've learned to realize how important a catch can is and how it improves the air/fuel ratio, overall performance of especially forced induction engines.
Vegas knights thanks for the reply brother. Crazy how a catch can will make all kinds of difference! So still using the diablo sport? Any recommendations? I have the 13 ats 2.0t all stock other than kn drop in filter.
@@Daniel-bh4px Same here all I have is that drop in filter and just that alone made a noticeable difference. I'm back to using the tuner. DiabloSport or ZZP can't go wrong. Just remember after the tune if you do any mods you should get an updated tune for that mod to get the most out of it. Without a catch can you're degrading the air/fuel mixture, filling your intercooler with oil, and creating spark knock which will hold back on acceleration to protect the engine from damage. U can also use octane booster.
In short, sport mode is ok for street driving but when I drive hard I want to take control of the gear shifting. In other Cadillac models, sport mode is more noticeable such as the XT4 2.0T; big difference but this ATS naw.
Sport Mode is about powerband and shifting quickness, so it is faster than touring. When you tune the vehicle, canned or custom, usually the modes will be significantly different and the pressure in the lines goes up for much better timed shifts and firmer shifts... this is where manual made can become useless... however, you can also tune the pressure and response for each manual shift. Factory, yeah I guess Manual would be the way to go as far as modes go if you are racing. Sport would be great for road coursing if you want all your attention on steering since it will hold the gears in the powerband better. And touring is a great way to just save gas. Although every tune video I watch I see 22 to 24mpg. I'm guessing you guys just drive balls out all the time lol cause I get close to 30 unless i'm banging on it.. then more like 25 to 26.
@@silfocus84 I wonder what year ATS U have cuz I also hear SM stiffens up the steering wheel on newer models. Not the case for me. In normal driving, it indeed improves the gear ratios i can notice that. BUT... on the freeway when i gun it for that passing power, it downshifts it stays in that gear longer than I want it to and the power comes in only on the next gear. This is why I do manual on pulls most of the time. For me SM is great for street driving.
@@bealltho1 U don't need a tune to have or use sport mode. A tune is more about Air Fuel Ratio (AFR), sport mode is more about gear ratios. U can go manual on sport mode to control the gear ratios yourself.
U gotta get the specific tuner for your car. My car recommends 91+ with or w/o a tune so the tuner won't offer me the 87. If yur in it for more power you'd be surprised how much the 91 w/ tune will do. Real talk.

You said it will work for the 3.6 what will it do to the 3.6 just wondering. More hp better throttle response. ?
Too bad they don't have a Diablosport Tune for the ATS-V. Such a bummer....

thanks
Can you take the tune off for those who are leasing ?
Hey bro ever thought about doing a electric cutout? Maybe after the cat...
I want to tune my xts 2018 any recommendations?
Where u can buy all that stuff?

Where can i but this
What TPC calibrations do you have?
When it kept telling you to turn ignition off and on did you just tap to turn on ignition or have to hold it down every time?
ON: hold it down as I did on video. OFF: tap once.
Did you noticed the difference?
Where did u got em?
Do it tune the trans. Changing shift points. Line pressure. Etc??
Not sure what line pressure is but you can change shift points, remove speed lim, rev lim, and a bunch of other things.

would this work for the 2.5?
I'm about to get the diablo tune myself is yours stock and just the Turner or did you add other stuff to get to that 5.2 0 to 60
Drop in K&N filter in the stock box thats it. Gotta use manual mode tho cuz the automatic gear rations are UNBELIEVABLY ghetto at WOT

@@rays-777 did you use OEM plugs or did you go 1 colder
I really wanted to go with the pulstar plasma plugs but I'm using OEM. Still yur gonna notice the difference big time

how much did this cost and when u got the new tune from zzp how much did that cost?
and did u have to remove anything when u got the new tube
tune
Few hundred or so not too much but I might be selling this Diablo tuner on Ebay within next few weeks
Will this work on a 2.5L 2014 ats? Where do I get this? thanks
What are the power gains from this tune?
im not even kidding but close to treefiddety
@@littlevaquero5516is it actually worth the Diablo tune bro?
Thinking about getting this for my 15 ats 2.0t, how has yours been holding up any issues? How's it mileage?
Where can i buy this broo??
I see this is a more current response, have you had issues, or something that changed mind/perspective about your diablo tuner?
Just bought a '14 2.0t w 45k on in it. Want it to stay reliable for when wifeys driving it, but need just a little more outa the car performance wise. What are your thoughts?
Would this work on a 2006 Cadillac CTS 3.6l ??????
No
Did u try zzp or r u still using diablo sport
Still have DS but not using it cuz my smog is up next month and I plan on passing it w/o the headache. Haven't used it in a long while now and have had NO problems with the car since.
I’m considering buying the Diablosport tuner
Do you still have issues/not recommended it?

Why did you turn off sport mode instead of having it on? I just ordered this tune so I’m curious

I have a 2014 ATS 2.0 (no tune) and I can use manual while in sport mode. Must just be a 2013 model thing
