Cadillac ATS 2.0T 6MT ZZPerformance Intake + Throttle Body Install

[@Fostermcg]

Just came back to this video after getting my engine replaced I had a cold air intake, catless dp, and was dyno tuned making 353 crank it was great for three months until it wasn’t I don’t recommend tuning this motor unless you have the time and money to build it

[@TheDc1984dc]

That's from the pcv valve. That's a recirculating system. That line goes into that filter on the inlet to the turbo into a foam filter.

[@sirloin4372]

You need a catch can to keep that oil out of the intake etc. I have zzp catch can, CAI, throttle body, down pipe and PTP turbo blanket, zzp high performance coils and ngk laser iridium plugs.

[@gabrielhenderson6959]

How much hp with those mods

[@ju99yfresh]

That Slim Thug and Devin The Dude though!

[@tylermasek1127]

This man says quite a lot

[@VelleyIndustrial]

The hose clamp is a 7 mm hex. Be careful not to over torque the 10mm throttle body bolts. They thread into brass inserts in the plastic intake manifold.

[@Realnicktunes]

Nice intro song to start 🤘🏼

[@georgefernandez405]

can yust the intake make the noise in the turbo

[@jeremysimo1082]

This is some serious quality content my guys. Watched the full thing 👍

[@sirloin4372]

V band are for exhaust, those clamps are worm drive clamps the OEM ones. The others I forget what the one are called.

[@sparkart5506]

Devin the Dude ? Im subbing. lol

[@cesarillescas5938]

Could you tell me exactly what to buy ? I have ‘18 cts 2.0. What brand and where to buy ? Thanks 🙏

[@jonathanmcbride7238]

Is It just the cold air intake making the blow off sound? Or do you have other another mod that’s increasing the sound?

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

Yeah the intake creates the "bov" sound

[@David-q1k4k]

Hope your cast piston and rings are holding up , or are you on forged internals now ?

[@wombocombo9804]

Did it throw any codes

[@StyleByHector]

[@brandonhenderson3643]

Which throttle body was that on the website

[@636Jaybee]

Dope :) trying to get the ZZP intake as well soon !

[@daveharrell6990]

i did the same mods and honestly feel like i lost power. it sounds fantastic but was very disapointed. any ideas?

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

You shouldn't feel any noticeable power lost unless you possibly created a boost leak upon installation.. But you only did the throttle body and Intake? Without actually tuning the PCM, you're only going to get mainly increased audio from the turbo because the stock computer (tune) will only compensate so much (basically nothing). If you're after power, do a PCM tune (zzp or trifecta or any other if you know of any). If you want to make real power though, I suggest investing in a real dyno tune with a reputable tuner.

[@redddread4528]

PREVA1L MOTORSPORTS I agree, I just got a tune and it’s so much fun without any bolt ons, but I’m afraid the cold air intake won’t actually make power but decrease it I’ll find out I guess

[@jazzy0073]

what do you feel after changing this thing? did you felt any performance chnages?

[@williamduckworth305]

I bought a 2016 cts 4 , 2.0t 90k mi...its all box stock so what wud u suggest for just a little bit of an upgrade to mabey push it up to 300hp but still be able to be a nice little grocery getter.. Thanx.

[@rubensantiago1946]

Check out ZZP on KZbin if you haven’t seen them yet. They have awesome videos showing their mods for the ats/cts platform

[@edwarddavisjr8451]

Just purchased the same car. Loved the video, super helpful. I think I may buy the same stuff. Looking forward to more videos with your Ats!

[@edwarddavisjr8451]

Just subscribed.

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

Nice man, how do you like it?! I LOVE my 2.0T, once you begin to mod it you'll see the BIG difference the mods do! There's a few videos we've done on the ATS already a couple videos back if you want to see what mods are coming up!👍

[@edgarrenteria2323]

Did you have to tune your car after the cold air intake and the bigger throttle ?? My car is idling

[@Gt1los]

I had to bro probably

[@williamsotomayor9574]

I’m the process of looking into this setup as well. Question, do you know if the car will throw any check engine codes or is it ok to run with stock tune ?

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

ZZP claims a potential CEL for the intake as you're increasing the overall volume of air being drawn in. BUT in my experience I ran this setup (Intake + Larger Throttle Body & Charge Pipe) for a week with NO CEL and I take my car to redline often. Once I installed my ZZP catless downpipe (potential video coming) that's when I did get a CEL but in all honesty I'm not TOO worried. My 2 codes are related to my cat not being there. So my car is running rich at the moment but I still drive it no problem. Rather run rich than lean! But I intend to get ZZP's PCM tune once I have the money for it as well as a few other little goodies that I want to do before the tune! The tune will give you extra power as well as eliminate the CEL! So it's a win win (:

[@williamsotomayor9574]

PREVA1L MOTORSPORTS nice 👍🏽 ! Thank you and I look forward to seeing more of the caddy build.

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

Only 2.0

[@mojojojo8482]

is this the same set up as in a CTS 2.0T?...I have a 2014.

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

yeah LTG motor

[@DrDrew-mg3ow]

I did the Intake and now i have a p0171 lean code. Is there a simple way of gettin rid of this without renting a cpu from the zzp website ??

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

Honestly I'm not sure, I never got a lean code. But I also didn't have the throttle body and intake on for very long before doing the downpipe. I was running rich for a bit after that but I didn't mind that because better to run rich than lean. If you're going to tune it and still have warranty, highly suggest getting a new tuned pcm if you care about your warranty...

[@marlevans6580]

I had the same code on my gen 6 after I did the zzp intake and I found by rotating the tube and changing the angle of the mag I was able to make it go away, it's been gone for over 2000 miles.

[@sleepr_v141]

What heat shield did you use for your hood ?

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

I'm gonna go ahead and say that's OEM shielding, that's how I got it.

[@jimstokes1873]

It’s OEM, I bought my 2013 2.0T 6MT brand new in August of 2012 and it looks the same.

[@joes.7536]

Oil in the intercooler piping. Lol. Welcome to turbo motor ownership.

[@sirloin4372]

Should’ve bought that catch can from zzp also!

[@levilindsey5770]

Brother!! Thank you so much. That charge pipe had me fcked up. Thank you

[@AnthxnySanchez85]

I just installed mine on a 2014 ats 2.0 I got a check engine light and a decrease in power the turbo sounds way louder than it should IMO I’m sure something’s just wrong with my car

[@timofeysoroutchan1627]

Did you tune it after install or nah?

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

Without a tune you'll get a code for the increased airflow aka running lean. The cold start would be loud but would quiet down significantly after the cold start was over. You might have a leak if it's consistently loud

[@dislikebutton4759]

Why is there a tick?

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

Injectors

[@Jtrivett79]

That oil is blow-by You need an oil catch can

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

It's in the works as we speak. Video should be made in the near future!

[@deegan727]

It's most likely from pcv system

[@readymanx3314]

Just ordered my air intake, how long does the delivery take ?

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

Less than a week

[@IDOSTREAMS]

Do you have the stock exhaust on there?

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

For the time being yeah.

[@Uptoptez]

Performance catch can

[@matthewmelgaard3384]

is the throttle body from zzp?

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

yes

[@suazzz3070]

Have you changed your BOV yet

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

According to ZZP there's no significant power gains from converting the stock bypass valve to a blow off valve.

[@johnuberti4879]

Any codes pop up

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

Not in my experience but others have had codes pop up

[@mariosinisterra193]

Any gains out of that configuration in terms of HP ?

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

I'm sure if we would have done before and after dyno runs there would have been a slight increase to horsepower but to truly take advantage of the mods I would have to get the car tuned

[@oscaryanez9540]

Did u notice a big difference in power bro?

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

The car definitely felt quicker afterwards but if you want a big difference go with a full ZZP stage 1 kit, which I think is good for +60whp.

[@tb109987]

Did either of those upgrades make the check engine light come on?

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

In my experience, no.

[@youregatorbait]

Tamir Byrd it does. 100%. But the stage 1 kit (which clears the CELwith the tune), or stare at the little engine icon EVERYDAY, cuz it’s gunna happen.

[@escorpion1134]

Amigo ablas español?

[@ALUKOSE]

It sounds like your lifters are knocking the top of the head but I could be wrong, I diagnosed that from the video sound. I had a used miata and the first thing I had to do was my lifters. I had to have them adjusted so it wouldn't ruin the engine any further. The caddy is great otherwise.

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

Honestly all the 2.0T's I've heard have all sounded similarly in sound. I was a little paranoid at first too, but with the car only having 16k miles I'm not all too worried. Worst case scenario gives me a reason to build the head! But thanks for the advice 👍

[@snappyaj9053]

It’s the injectors firing at high pressure. Some applications get up to 2800 PSI! All DI engines I’ve had make that sound.

[@Jtrivett79]

Direct injection That’s the sound it’s making

[@sleepr_v141]

Clean ride bro ! Do you notice any difference with the larger throttle body?

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

Thank you! It's kind of hard to really distinguish since I did the CAI at the same time then shortly after went catless DP. But I'm pretty sure it made a difference since the air flow has less restrictions now

[@sleepr_v141]

PREVA1L MOTORSPORTS im planning on getting the large throttle body for my 6 gen from ZZPERFORMANCE. I got everything else but this and tune. But overall do you notice difference from stock besides the loudness of the catless downpipe?

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

You won't regret it! But what I felt when I switched over to my cat less downpipe was whenever I was fully WOT stock the car felt like it was bottlenecked. After switching over it made the car feels easier to rev out. Without a tune I'm sure it's barely helping but once I go tuned the car is going to come alive

[@StrictlyLTG]

Great video guys! So how is the car running after some miles? Any issues?. BIG Thumbs up (=

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

Thanks! And car is running great besides having a CEL. A catch can is definitely a priority as these LTG's tend to have lots of blow-by.

Thanks for your response!

[@sleepr_v141]

How's the car running bro and can you tell the difference.

[@PREVA1LMOTORSPORTS]

Haven't really driven the car much in the past couple weeks. I ran into an issue with the front goodridge brake lines so the car has been parked since I haven't had the time to take a look at the issue/correct it. But besides that I've since bought a tune for the car so it'll be stage 1 in the near future once I can drive it again. Will be making a video showing how to install/swap the PCM and basically show if it's worth it or not. Will be running Gus' new car before and after to show the difference.

[@StrictlyLTG]

PREVA1L MOTORSPORTS + we have a new Heat Shield + Turbo Blanket available for the 2.0 ATS... There is a video at the top of my website with the temp changes.. StrictlyLTG.com .... Way faster spool times, downpipe wrap coming soon.. so far we have dropped compressor housing temps from 450° to 200° F. Compressed air leaving the compressor is down to 120° into the intercooler and 73° out.. let me know what y'all think... Our product is made with the most insane high temp materials on earth
