Hyundai Veloster Engine Swap SMOKES Like CRAZY On Start Up
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- I bought this 2012 Hyundai Veloster for $1,500 down a cylinder. We determined that the 1.6L 4 cylinder Gamma engine has a failed rod bearing and I promised to destroy it. 100,000 Orbeez later the engine finally gave up the ghost although it ran way longer than we thought. We pulled out the Orbeez filled engine and replaced with a new one from J&J Auto Wrecking. After some engine wrestling and catching the starter on fire, we filled the entire garage and half the neighborhood with Orbeez smoke when it finally surged back to life!
Thanks to J&J Auto Wrecking for the new engine! www.jandjautowr...

Best comment of the day: “It’s vaping, I didn’t know this was a Subaru!” 😂😂😂😂
It's accurate. Source: I live in Colorado
It is alive.. You know the best thing about getting the engine into the Veloster? We now get to move on to the R8. YEAH!!!
MobileChaos:🎉🎉🎉
Yes! The one hogging the jack stands! :D
I would like to actually drive the R8! 💪
@@WatchJRGo Of course. Didn't you say you wanted to sell it before the new engine broke?
I remember back in my old neighborhood, when one of the guys starts wrenching on his car, after a while there would be 10 kids hanging out pitching in.
Pretty much what we do! 🍻
There is always something new to learn when you help out someone wrenching because if it is a car that your interested on getting aka a model similar it is the best to learn by helping
Reminded me of a story. My dad worked for a municipal garage. He bought a used '58 Chev Wagon and blew the engine. He bought another engine (think scrap yard not new), and went to the garage over the weekend (1/4 maintenance mechanics in) to replace. The story was enough mechanics and drivers around engine bay you could not get within 10 feet or get a wrench up your behind. Engine swapped in a day, and he bought lunch.
I owned three Hyundais and I gotta give their engineering team props. They are stupid easy to work on.
Did you find they were less reliable than average?
@@Elaba_ The first one (a 2004 Santa Fe) was amazing. I think maybe six things went wrong with it in almost 150,000 miles. My 2010 Santa Fe was a total lemon but the 2012 Elantra that replaced it was not bad. I'd consider them again but after driving Hyundais for over ten years, I need some time to see other brands.
I like how you guys always have a little fun before or while working that's cool cause a day without laughter is a day wasted
That's a great philosophy .
Christopher Miller: Indeed, this is what makes life worth living! Cheers!😉
I did this project in probably 6 hours, by myself with a help of inserting the engine into the pilot. If you have a side impact drill it'll cut your time in half, and those exhaust nuts will be done in 3 minutes. It's designed nicely, everything can be tucked away nicely and its hard to miss a plug/hose.
I have swapped tons of these. Once Hyundai announced which ones qualified for free replacement and which did not everyone wanted to fix theirs. If you pull the axles and then the two exhaust pipe bolts underneath then the lower torque arm everything else is reached from the top. Leave the trans and exhaust manifold connected to the motor and lift the entire package out as a unit. We once forgot to install the trans throw out arm and had the entire thing out on the ground and back in and running in 2.5 hours. If they had less electronics they would be as easy as the old six bolt engine/trans swaps on the VWs back in the day.
Man this video was awesome. I have a 2012 Hyundai Veloster as well that's in need of an engine swap as mine is knocking so watching this made it seem like an easy thing to do!
Do you have three knowledgeable friends and an air-conditioned garage?
are the engines in these cars just suck or what?
@@themevlog2260 curious about that myself...
@@themevlog2260 No. Hyundai and Kia tend to be cars that are bought by people who don't necessarily take care of things.
We have a 2012 with 105k no real issues yet.
This can very easily be a difficult swap. I have swapped lots of engines, and this is by far the hardest. I have spent whole days trying to get that pilot bearing aligned and have seen lots of others in the same situation. If you start this job, you better be ready for lots of down time.
Good video. Thank you! We have a 2015 Veloster here at the shop that spit the #3 connecting rod through the oil pan. We weren't sure which way to pull the engine. Your video made the decision for us. Thank you again!
Hauls a $25k motor with the rampage.
Pushes the velositer with the skateboard.
Love it!
wanted to see that test drive guys. A vaping veloster oh yeah
Scratch the cat...possibley entire exhaust system?
I have the same car, year newer, 82ish thousand miles (I can't give you an exact number, as with the world being on fire, I haven't driven it in a while) Thanks for showing me it's this easy to work on, and I also think I made the correct trans choice, got the manual, it's almost as good as an old Civic with a rebuilt bushing kit, no complaints.
Just did the same using a skateboard to move a washing machine... worked out like a charm
Just to give you a heads up. 7/16-7/21 is the National Desoto Convention in Hutchinson, KS. It will be at the Atrium Hotel & Conference Center. The best day to see the cars will be Saturday 7/20 at the car show at Carey Park in Hutchinson, KS. Desoto was a division of Chrysler from 1928-1961. We will have our Desoto in the show. I figured it would be some great video content for the channel. Hope to see you there.
Clayton Colburn: Thank you Clayton. We will see if we can make it. 😉👍🏼
of course we want to see the inside of the engine. dissecting destruction is an awesome topic. cant wait to see the Audi engine.
DundaBluebone: soon....😉👍🏼
A fine job, gentlemen - and you did it under a roof with a/c. Those Boosted Board tricks were pretty sweet - pulling the engine, then pushing the car to the garage was a testament to how well they are built, obviously. I didn't think a powered skateboard was going to get it done, but I'm impressed!
chemxfan: Believe me- we all were blown away! 😉👍🏼
I wish u did a gdi turbo swap woulda been sweet
Wow you guys were fast! You guys kicked butt on that engine swap!
Hi 👋 Love how you boys have lots of fun fixing motors 😄 It’s the sort of thing I did in the 70s with my friends lol 😆 Stevie 😎🇬🇧
Hell yea for the orbiz engine teardown
Way to go Hyundai for making a modern car that’s easy to work on.
*THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS PERFECTLY FINE*
During our test drives we monitor everything via OBDII. After approximately two miles we observed the cat temps drop from 1500°F to its normal operating range of just over 1300°F. We also observed that smoke was no longer present. Since then, the car has been driven daily with zero issues.
We really appreciate all of your comments and support!
Cheers!😉👍🏼
Do you need to be in neutral or park when swapping the motor. I also gave a dct, and doing this on Saturday
lil smoke never hurt anyone
Josh is like " you couldn't start this outside?" "simple to work on, easy in easy out, reminds me of an R8"
You've got a good bunch of guys as friends
Nice plugged up catalytic converters bet the new owner will love that too
Great to review during the quarantine. Betting he put the R8 engine in Veloster and the Veloster in the R8.
You said the magic words, "This is gonna be easy." Kiss of death
Love how the guy in the hat and glasses just chills on his phone during and turns up after when the works done lol
That Gabe seems like a really cool dude!
What about the quirks and features ?!?
How about the dents in the roof?
@@drippingwax 😄😄😄⬅️
How about giving it a Doug score?
I had to ship my knife back to my house twice for the same reason. I went through the line. Thankfully both of the airports I went through let me ship it after TSA. As long as you tell them, they’re cool with it (as much as that seems implausible for the TSA).
We need a Orbeez vs Seafoam smoke contest.
Paul Kane: LOL! Yeah... not sure sea foam would be up to task for this one!😂🤣
You owe Gabe a few steak dinners for sure he has been a solid friend and a huge help for sure plus he is a vet so I like him already army 💯I was 25th
Curt Thacker: LOL! Thanks for advocating for me.
I was also 25th- 2/35 🌵. Who were you with?
@@Gabe-ABNCW3 I was with the 84th engineers and assigned to them as a forklift and crane operator in Mosul Iraq 08 to 09 setting up there polling stations was at Schofield barracks 2007 to 2011
Tropic lightning the old electric strawberry patch lol
Curt Thacker: Awesome brother. You were at Schofield a good while after me, though we were in Iraq at the same time.
Cheers man!😉🍻
@@Gabe-ABNCW3 heck yeah good times
That boosted board though....
There is no way the cat will ever recover after all the orbeezs.
What’s better than having a good time trashing an engine and then replacing it? Finding your lost 10 mm socket!!
10mm sockets don't actually exist in this dimension.
"Well, we think the starter's toast. Its probably because we cranked it for so long with the orbeez in it, it happens."
All the parts for the Subaru SVX?! J & J Auto has me sold. (1997 SVX, one of 640)
I wonder how long that orbeez plugged catalytic converter lasted.
I know your going to flip it but you may want to run some GDI Cleaner through it to clean the valves and turbo since it’s not designed like a traditional engine. I believe CLR sells it.
GDI cleaner does nothign its been provin time n time again that its near impossible for chemicals to do any type of cleaning on Direct injetion engines. the only way to actually clean thhem is to media blast the chamber. That is why i dont under stand why ppl run injection/fuel system cleaner in new engines...it dont do shit
I have recently trialed it on a friends 2012 Veloster with 80,000 original miles and it had never been done. What he noticed after me completing the cleaning is a lower idle, better throttle responsiveness, and noticed his car is Peppier overall. This is the same chemical the Hyundai dealer uses and your supposed to preform this service every 10,000 miles or so due the the carbon build up inside of the valves. The reason being is that since the gas is directed inside of the cylinder instead of passing through the valves like a traditional motor does. You will get a ton of carbon build up that will rob your motor of power and economy.
JR may have the most mellifluous voice since Bing Crosby.
Awsome Channel. I don't know how you don't have much more subscribers........But something tells me you will soon 😁👍
Well said Efrain .. I agree
love the Letterkenny references.
jrlenz85 stuart
I wish I had good friends like that
Hood prop rod is bent to allow storage across the radiator.
Great that you got the Veloster working again - yay. Hope the smoke goes 😂😂
RichieT5: It runs perfectly now. Everything cleared during the test drive. 😉👍🏼
Woohoo its all alive great job guys 👍
Are you ever going to do a tour of your giant steam workshop and explain what those gigantic things are for? Thanks.
It is so much easier to just pull the front clip, not hard at all either.
Bumper>crash bar>upper radiator support>radiator(intercooler if turbo)>lower radiator support
You have to drain coolant anyway.
Everything is either 10mm or 12mm.
That’s a powerful board!
What the real question is, what bigger motor will swap in there? Will a 2.0 out of a Kia swap in and make more power? I have a 2013 making around 300hp, but its maxed out
great video .... I'm a fan of this channel. can't wait to see more
So rethinking the Orbeez episode, killing the starter motor and residue in the exhaust catalyst contamination of O2 Sensors...would you do it again on the next blown engine?
Kevin Shea:😈😈😈😈😈
Swapping out the DCT on the same year Veloster - all bolts removed - but its not separating. Is there a special trick? Hammer & Wood? Twisting? One bolt snapped at the head - could this be holding things up? Is the '12 DTC interchangeable with all Gen1s? Can i get a low mile '15 or '16 instead of a high mile '12?
Is that a 61 Falcon in the driveway in front of the garage?? I want to see videos of THAT!!
Engine transport system 😂
Amberghini are you his gf
Matix's Garage something like that.
That board is impressive.
He is a VERY lucky guy. Finding someone who is that supportive and tolerant (and beautiful), is hard to do being a gearhead. Most girls have little to no interest in wrenching on cars. I wish more did. Total keeper status lol
You weren't in the video! Downvote! Unsubscribe! Whining on Facebook!
They probably make it easy to swap the engine since they fail so often
😁
Glad it started smoking. Looks like that garage door may not have been opened otherwise.
good, great car to bring back to life.
John Ross!!! Let me at that pallet when you are done bro!
Pallet Wizard: Sorry, this one is gone. Perhaps next time?
@@Gabe-ABNCW3 Sounds awesome! Thanks for letting me know bro! Great work on the swap!
Added your channel also!
When you swapped this engine. Did you have to take out the axles?
Why didnt you put the veloster n turbo engine in it with 275 hp there actually pretty quick
And he's got a TBSS (Me Too) hence the need for the awesome garage
"Easiest engine change ever" as JR stands there doing nothing.
dudenamed clem: well... he did hand us tools on occasion 😁👍🏼
Really fun to watch!
Not that it didn't come out super easy, but that chain shrank a bunch!
Michael Mackaman: yup. We had to modify it a bit.
Next time you do orbees, make sure you are scrapping the whole car.
THE BEST BIT WAS SEEING WHAT YOU DID TO THE OLD ENGINE WAIT YOU DID SHOW IT ,,
Your caps lock is on.
That catalytic converter is so screwed now.
you need to change the catalytic converter its probably trash
Updoot for the 80's synthesizer music!
Air conditioned garage! 👍🏻👍🏻
It's called the previous owner taking poor care of the car.
Wonder if you clogged the cats with the orbies
Man Ive wanted to get a boosted for a while but can quite justify the price, you might have just done it, honestly you need an Amazon affiliate link.......
Your wish is my command! (If enough people buy them I could upgrade) amzn.to/2JsmM1w
you might have a bad cat. after all those orbez?
how many miles did the engine have on it before replacing been hearing so many people having issues with their engines before even getting 100,000 miles on them.
This is one of the reasons why I won't pay any more than $250.00 for any used car that has more than 30,000 miles on it. I'll bet that converter is not long for this world!
amazing . i love hyundai .
would the orbeez not affect the catalytic converter?
WatchJRGo,
How long did the car take, with the new engine in, to stop smoking? Was it after a couple of minutes? Did it go away gradually?
I own a Lexus CT and I changed the head gasket but the car keeps on smoking after hours of idling. It's an aluminium block and the block is probably cracked.
About 5 minutes, had to burn off that polymer goo 😂
CT might need a little more help, do a leak down?
Do a video on a ozone generator for the smoke smell!
That's a nice garage
Team Ally Racing : Yeah... we’re all jealous of it.
Did ya ever fix the smoke? I just swapped or had someone swap a 1.6 2016 accent with 39k that got hit in the front. The blown motor was smoking like yours and when we put the new motor in it still smokes not to bad but it would probably make someone think its got a blown head or a smarter person think it's buring oil and the previous motor was buring oil. I'm just a locksmith. You think maybe the exhaust is dirty. Should I run something threw it?
Really should change the Cat because a plugged cat can damage that new engine
I love watching these engine swap videos. I like all of your other videos too!
Veloster on Orbeez still running
Was the clutch ok before putting in the engine?
John Frese: No issues at all. 😉👍🏼
Haven't watched the video yet, but I bet that catalytic converter(s) is/are toast from those Orbees. If not today, soon.
@Stephen Clark It goes out of the exhaust valves into the exhaust, catalytic converters are in the exhaust system..
@Stephen Clark ...You need them in Colorado. Every two years is "emissions test" time. Pass or no registration.
@Stephen Clark Catalytic converter performance is measured by the OBD system, via the O2 sensors. If it fails it will set off the MIL, probably code P0420. In other words, the check engine light will come on. If so he can try to run some sort of cleaner through there, but most likely he will have to have his catalytic converter, (or converters if it has multiple- and they failed), replaced. Expensive repair indeed. Unless he can find someone dumb enough buy it like that..
Vince: OBDII was monitored throughout test drive. Smoke stopped soon after we began and the cat maintained optimal temps.
@@Gabe-ABNCW3 Cool, then it should be fine for a long time. At worst maybe shaved a few years off the cat's life... or not, depending on if that Orbees stuff is considered smoking, or just vaping lol. This was a great video. Satisfying to see a major repair done so quickly.
PS I didn't like you at first, but you grew on me, Gabe. Especially since you served in our military. Thank you for that. See you in future videos.
So I have a 2012 Hyundai Veloster and my motor blown up today and I was wondering if I could buy the turbo motor and would it just bolt right on? Or would I have any issues? So basically since it blew up, I wanna swap the transmission to a manual and swap the motor to the turbo one, is that possible? Please let me know thank you!
I know you have to change to the turbo car ECU and wiring harness at a minimum. I asked the same questions and the Veloster guys think it bolts up but I don't think anyone has ever done it before. 🍻
Dang, I smell Orbeez and I live in Oklahoma City!!
My friend is currently replacing the engine AND transmission on his 13 Veloster. Tranny went bad specifically BECAUSE that dual clutch tranny isn’t good for high traffic areas and Hyundai knew it was an issue. Engine because of bad lifters.
Where did you drain the coolant? I have the same project but its turbo. I don't know how to drain the coolant!!
Heck yeah!!! That's what's up!!!
WOW, jack stands!!! LOL!! Dig the vids JR!!
Great as always!
I’m confused if Hyundai has a 10 year warranty why wouldn’t the original owner have the dealer fix it for free?
You might be in the market for a new catalytic, judging by the amount of smoke. Kinda had a feeling those orbies would bite ya sooner or later on this car!
Sir Raven: The car is perfectly fine!😁👍🏼
@@Gabe-ABNCW3 I'm hoping that's the case. Ideally, that stuff would burn off, since cats reach over 1200 degrees for operating temp.
Sir Raven: Yup. We were monitoring OBDII throughout the “break in” drive. 😉🍻
Swapping out the engine where there is AC and light? What sort of video is this?
Right?! Josh hooked us up, epoxy floor too so you can lay/slide on it 😍
WatchJRGo time for a shop update series?
@@WatchJRGo Can you just mop up spilled fluids?
drippingwax: Yes, but it will need to be a dedicated shop mop and bucket. Simple Green or Purple Power work well. Check with your local laws on how to dispose of the waste water.
