- Introduction to a new purchase, a ZZP Big Billet Compressor wheel turbocharger. Also part one to the removal of the original turbocharger and preparing the new turbocharger for installation.
This video has been brought to you by the Motion Sickness Makers Of America.
With my RA issues, pretty difficult to keep it from shaking sometimes. Especially when removing a turbocharger, its very tight fit so hard to get any camera just right in those tight places. Miss the younger days when my hands were much more steady. I did not make a turbo installation video since it would most likely shake just as bad.
@@madboostingmadmatt48 I hear ya I've had OA for awhile now and that's not a good time either. Cant wait to see it installed! I have a 15 ATS 2.0 and would love to do this! How much was it? How much HP will it produce?
Pumpkin Face My newest video is dyno tuning with the new turbo and unlocked TCM, the ZZP big wheel turbo was around $900 but with tax and shipping its $1000. Factory turbocharger could cost close to that so not too bad. The big billet compressor wheel moves more volume of boosted air so it will make good torque and power at even lower rpms than stock. My car was dyno tuned on AWD dyno and made 352 whp and 348 wheel torque. Not too bad though I was looking for more.
there is another company.that makes the same turbo and even a larger wheel so zzp lies about this.
I don't trust ZZP....they are known for grenading these LTG's at the expense of others.
Bro this same turbo is on aliexpress they bug it from China and out there name on it
How do you take off the sensor off of the blow off valve? Mine seems to be stuck
Some would say disconnect the oil line from the block easier to access then pull turbo off lol. It's okay we have all been there. I know I'm a few years to late
I got the same one 2 weeks ago and definitely tell a difference
My upgrades zzp down cat downpipe
K&N could air intake
Zzp big wheel turbo
BNR BOV
Delete resonator
Still need to get that oil catch can you told me about and zzp bigger throttle body
Whats your hp numbers?
Appreciate the video....just a suggestion going forward, you bounce the camera around the engine compartment alot sorta hard to watch. But great information.
It was a video where turbo is very tight quarters so filming was difficult and my hands are not very steady anymore. I remember when I made the 300zx timing belt video, the opposite was the problem, I had the camera secured with a holder so it would not shake however, not a close enough view at some parts to see everything. Trying to find that happy medium is the challenge. I hopefully will find a solution.
No worries Just glad someone is making videos on this platform! Keep up the good work!
What year is the ats
it is a 2018, very difficult one to tune since the factory torque management system pulls timing and reduces throttle from the TCM. In order to get this car tuned the TCM needed to be unlocked, I had ordered one from ZZP which was unlocked, and my factory one is a spare. I am preparing a video of the dyno session for the new turbocharger and new TCM which did increase the power, the problem is a system on the 2018 ATS is still pulling timing despite turning off the torque limiting governor on the TCM. I highly recommend anyone that wants an ATS to get 2015 and earlier model, the 2016 and newer ones are too difficult and expensive to tune.
Good to know i have a 14! Im putting the borg warner 74mm turbo in glad i dont need to deal with tcm
Broke yet?
I am now dizzy.
It happens
I think I missed it?? Is it a billet turbo charger that’s big big?
The compressor wheel is big, housing is bored larger to accommodate the larger billet wheel
Amazing video
Aye man idk if you gonna respond or not sense it’s been some years but I’m doing a turbo swap on the Camaro and I’m trying to get that air tube off where you say it’s an Allen wrench do you buy chance know what size it is cause I use a 5.5mm and it’s to big and a 5 mm is to small
Do not remember the allen size, sold the car a while back. When I have a problem with size, I get all my allen sizes together and fit test both metric and standard and pick the best fit. There are so many different sizes of allen tools
The best sleeper turbo is the mhi forced performance Mitsubishi turbo. Looks stock but isn’t at all
Yes Mitsubishi made some great turbochargers that were compact in size and put out great performance such as the EVOLUTION series of cars
It’s just a big wheel turbo and your losing you mind over this…
Not really, its compressor wheel allows much more volume of boosted air. Of course aftermarket Garrett and many others will blow it away
how is the big wheel turbo holding up r u looseing any oil or any smokeing from the turbo
Turbo did well the whole time I owned the car. I traded it in for a turbo 4 x 4 Ford ranger.
How much horsepower you run after you install the turbo?
I have a dyno tune video on Cadillac ats playlistDyno tuning the new ZZP Big wheel turbo Cadillac ATS Part 2

What changes did you have to make for this install. I have an upgraded downpipe, k&n intake, and tune. and want to just put the bigger turbo. Do I need to change anything else.
All original intake and exhaust components can be used. I installed K&N intake, my version of performance exhaust, unlocked TCM, high flow downpipe, and catch can. I had a dyno tune done but would have preferred it done by tuning shop that knows the LTG PCM and its power robbing torque management system.
Fuck, you're making me dizzy bro....
It happens
What size silicon hose off the wastegate control vacuum line, 10mm?
I believe it’s an 8 mm
@@madboostingmadmatt48 do you remember where you bought it from? My hoses are wearing down and I’m slapping a catch can, tune and new spark plugs this weekend so i thought i should just go ahead and start changing some hoses out as well.
Ya got my dizzy... you didnt stop moving the whole video lol
Yed it was difficult to do and record at same time.
It happens
STOP MOVING THE CAMERA! 🤢
happens, especially in tight locations near the turbo. Have not seen any other videos that focused close to the turbo and showed difficult areas to get to. Its in the past now, I would like to see who can watch it without getting dizzy, that's the new challenge. Who is mentally strong enough to watch it without getting dizzy.
How long would you say your install took?
around 2 hours to install. Removal of stock turbo took longer since it was first time removing.
hey which is bigger LMAO
The compressor wheel is the difference and the compressor housing had to be ported to fit the larger billet wheel. Externally doesn’t look different from stock until you look inside the compressor.
Broke a piston yet?
So far so good, no.
Did you need a tune to run this effectively or will it work just fine stock?? Thanks so much for this video!
A Tune would be best. The stock computer could handle it but it will pull power away from torque management system. Also highest octane fuels should be used since I have heard from many others about LTG engine having weak pistons from factory. My son drives my ATS now and I reinstalled stock tune with 91 octane fuel. So far so good. He daily drives it and likes its response. I do not recommend aftermarket intake for this engine, the stock PCM backs off power with its torque management system. I honestly would not tune this car at all if I had to do it over again. That PCM and TCM from gm prevents the great potential this engine has. I made a video of the dyno tune and dyno readings were good but real world driving I was disappointed that it didn’t feel that fast to me. I should have bought a Nissan GTR, or a more tuner friendly AWD turbo vehicle.
@@TTATurbochargeThemAll thank you for your detailed response. Looks like I should just stay stock until I can make this a side project car if I decide. I am at 129k and my turbo already needs to be replaced so I figured I would look at my options. Since the cars paid off I figured I would have some fun with it and make some mods for the rest of my time with it. At the same time I would like it to last me as long as possible.
@@relentlesseducator please share my mad Boosting UA-cam channel with your friends, I need all the subscriptions I can get . I need 250 more to finally be acknowledged as a real UA-cam channel.
the oem internals can’t handle the original turbo so if you don’t change the stock cylinders do not do it
So far so good the 2018 Cadillac is handling the new big wheel turbo some of the earlier Cadillacs have bad internals but the 18 has proved well so far even with 87 octane believe it or not.
I have code P0299
Its a low boost output code. Could be turbo wastegate controller solenoid is not working
What is your mod list?
I'm thinking about getting this turbo for my 14 ATS and wondering if its really worth it
Jeremy Blair it has a much larger compressor and attaches to all factory hardware so a fairly easy mod that puts out much more volume of boosted air. My mods are K&N intake, my exhaust idea which deletes factory muffler but looks completely stock on outside. I installed NGK iridium plugs gapped to .027 thousands of an inch. Installed 17x9 wheels with 245/45/17 rubber which improved my handling and more rubber for the road. Installed a banks gage pod which can read 8 engine data items at once. K&N intake kit, upgraded fresh air flow to intake by removing piece of plastic in grille. All these mods I have done videos on. Also have unlocked tcm, and PCM/TCM tune from local shop in Reno. Also have ZZP catless downpipe. My catch can idea to keep oil blowby out of intake of compressor.
Thanks for all the information. On my 14 I did E85 tune cold air intake downpipe and muffler delete. Wanting to get zzperformance intercooler and larger turbo.
@@TTATurbochargeThemAll just came across this video funny u say reno as I live there too. How has this held up over time as I want to do the same?
