This video was a life saver! Auto mechanics were trying to charge me $100 for diagnostics only even though I told exactly what’s the issue. Then they were charging $81 to replace the spark plugs!! You saved me 100’s of dollars and time.
I would like to say a big 'thank you', this video gave me the confidence to change my own spark plugs for my 2013 Veloster Turbo. Your information and explanation's for dummies like me were spot on, a total victory dance for this 55 yo Aussie female!! Cheers! :)
So my '16 Veloster Rally Edition has that same little backfire/stutter on startup. I thought it was normal lol. If you figure out that it is do to something wrong with the vehicle, let us know please
I just contacted (May '21) three different Hyundai dealerships' parts managers who all insisted that Hyundai has definitely NOT changed the spark plug recommendation for the 2013s, the NGK SILZKR6D8E is still the one to use. Also, my 2013 Turbo Veloster has NEVER been a "lemon" in any way. I bought it new in Oct. 2012 and have never had any issues, it's been a great car!
We both heard different things but what I can say is that NGK's website still recommends the part number you described for models manufactured up until 02/28/2014. You can verify this by searching up both a 2013 and 2014 model on NGK's website. Dealerships in my area all went with the newer model plug (the one in this video) for 1st Gen Veloster Turbos in General. You're not wrong and i'd say go with what you're comfortable with. Thanks for the info for other 2013 owners though.
No Chayness... Not a Dumb Video at all. I needed this upload... I just came out of a Celica 7 Gen into a 2015 Veloster Turbo. So this video is very helpful for me. SUBBED ....
gosh this is so much easier than my stupid 4.3L sonoma was. you gotta make a pact with the devil to get those things out without grabbing a torch and just lighting the truck on fire.
Thank you so much for this video. I've been having a heck of a time trying to find the right plugs for my Elantra Sport. Every site I went to gave me a different plug 😂. The dealership wanted to charge me $225...
just wanted to thank you my bro. i have a 2015 turbo Vt At i love my white elite baby. it has 60k miles and i am going to have the plugs changed soon..thanks to you i now where to start. you now have a new follower my bro. bless.
Hey, just wanted to say your vids are awesome! I did a lot of research about several different cars, and while I didn't go with the Veloster, I did get a `16 Kia Forte5 SX. Already have the SXTH Element SRI on it too! Keep doing what you do! Even if it seems trivial, somebody can use the info.
I tested those Newer NGK plugs Kona 1.6T with the 7spd dct. 100k miles and solid. After replacing again Yes better MPG, Start up and performance immediately after new ones. coming up on 120k miles no issues. 0-60 5.9, 9.85 1/8th at 79 mph, 14.88 1/4 mile. all on draggy tests. maintain and upgrade when replacing.
I just purchased a 2017 Hyundai Veloster Turbo and I wanted to know which performance spark plugs and performance spark plug wires would you recommend?
I am curious on what the Gapping difference is between the veloster turbo model and the base non turbo model. Found out that my 2016 veloster ecoshift non turbo(ofc) had .037 gapping.
I have a 2013 Veloster non turbo, i just replaced the plugs with Iridium XP. Are they good? Also how often should i replace the plugs and no that I replaced the plugs should i replace the coil packs and how often for those? Thanks!
Why do the 93655 Ngk spark plugs like on their website say it’s for naturally aspirated veloster but not the turbo? I have a 2016 veloster turbo and it says it’s not compatible like on autozone etc.
Yea their website is weird. If you look up like a 2014 Veloster, you'll see they mention Turbo engine plugs. Not sure why they didn't include Turbo engine plugs for the 2015+ models on their catalog
I was getting ready to buy the NGK plugs, as you suggested, but they don't have the 93655 at all. Now the one they have listed as actual OE is 93815. However, the heat range is 6 and comes pre-gapped at 0.40 inches. Must be a slightly updated version perhaps? 🤔
What year did you look up? Be careful because I looked up the part again and the number you provided specifically says for "Naturally Aspirated" Vehicles so be careful. If you have a turbo, the part number I listed is still correct unless the dealership changed them once more? But the 93815 is for NON TURBO models only.
Super big fan of your channel bro and your build progress. Couple questions in regards to your Veloster since you’re 4 years in. I have a catless test pipe on the way, running a catback exhaust system currently. Also have a cold air intake and Intercooler resonator delete on the way as well. Plan on running a JB4 after installing full bolt ons and I was told I need upgraded HKS Cold plugs gapped at 0.026”. Do you know anything about JB4, or tuning in regards to Veloster Turbo’s?
I personally wouldn't recommend the JB4 and instead would go with a full tune. It is pricier but I've heard plenty horror stories from people using the JB4. That being said, running a tune or the JB4 you will for sure need the HKS Spark Plugs but there are other things as well that you should consider like an upgraded fuel line. Lastly if you do go with a full tune, they can get pricey if you plan on buying a spare ECU but they range from like $600-$1000+ depending on what company you go with. Still if you rather not spend money on a blown engine, the price difference from JB4 to a full tune is highly worth it.
It's what my 2014 veloster re: flex uses factory. It's what I use. Really helped me with rough idle. Also i changed the pcv valve, pcv sensor and map sensor. All those helped with rough idle and starting issues. Hope this helps
I did some research and called a bunch of Hyundai dealers and they all told me that NGK 91568 is the OE factory recommended part. But it has a heat range of 6 and you convinced me that the higher heat range is better especially since I have a 2013 turbo model. so I’m kinda confused which to choose, or why I got such different information when I called Hyundai dealers
So from what I was told, that is the OLD part number. It was replaced with the one I mentioned when all the 2013 problems started happening. Every dealer I called in SoCal (I called 3 for full transparency) gave me the part number I showed here. Keep in mind they gave me a STOCK number first and when I asked and pressed further for an actual NGK number, this is the number I ended up with. This thread even talks about how Heat Range 6 is outdated and lists a part number but that number seems to be discontinued. If you go to NGK's site look up a 2015 (if you look up higher year models, they show only plugs for N/A and not turbo engines) you'll see the part number I mentioned as their recommended OE plug and I happened to get the same number from the 3 dealers I called. www.velosterturbo.org/threads/spark-plugs.21425/
What's your usual rpm during idle once you've reached normal operating temp? I feel like mine is way too low and it sometimes feels shaky when I stop at a light
NGK spark plug heat ranges use a lower number for a hotter spark plug. Heat range 6 is hotter than heat range 7. The hotter heat range 6 plug was causing issues because it ran too hot and could produce engine damaging pre-ignition. Hyundai then went to a colder heat range 7 plug later on. Hyundai currently uses a heat range 8 spark plug in these motors. I use NGK1422 plugs, heat range 8 in my 2016 KIA 1.6L Turbo motor and it runs perfectly, in fact better then the stock heat range 7 plugs that came in the motor.
I haven't had any issues with my choice. Again, I went on forums and people had "hit or miss" issues with the 1422's. I went this route after checking with the dealer and NGK. Again, I'll probably switch up the plugs once i'm a bit more modified but for now, I don't want to risk it.
The plug is part of the whole harness so you can't buy it seperate. Well.... you COULD but it's nothing simple. The plugs can be found online at auto parts retailers or even Amazon.
I have a 2012 Hyuandi Veloster. I’m thinking that I need to replace my spark plugs because my rpm (that’s what it says on the dashboard) accelerates when in park. I tap on the gas or not touch it at all and it just keeps accelerating. the only way for it to calm down is to turn off the car. Does anybody have this same issue? I would appreciate some advice thank u
At 4 k rpm it bogs and jultz. No matter what gear. Done in sport or auto. 2013 coils are good. Just got some ngk ordered. And got some gdi cleaner. Did I do the right first diagnosis? Only like 60 bucks. Still waiting on parts. Hopefully it works.
That's really odd. I honestly would have said the coils or plugs but if those are fine, there must be something else causing the problem. This is a stretch but do you have a stock intake? If so, there's a little "door" in the shape of an oval under the air filter (inside the air box). Make sure that thing isn't clogged up or that it opens and closes easily. It's a horrible design but it's meant to be closed for "fuel economy" under light load and will open up under heavier load (ie, higher rpm) to allow more air flow, but if that door is acting up, MAYBE it may be causing some part of the issue you're experiencing. Also, unplug the battery for like 5 minutes after any new install including the plugs to allow the ECU to reset and sort of "adjust" to the newer plugs to see if that helps.
I have a 2016 Veloster Turbo and I recently changed the spark plugs and I got them at autozone but I feel my car a tad bit different. I have 80k miles on it and it’s my daily. Any recommendations on which plugs I should get?
As someone who once worked at Auto Zone (lol), they often give you plugs that "should" work but dont. When it comes to plugs, its always best to stick to OE and not another brand. As for plugs, I go over the OE part number in this video. I'd recommend those if you're not heavily modified. The OE brand is NGK so make sure thats what you got. I know Auto Zone sells other brands like Bosch, Denso, Autolite (to name a few) but they should have given you a set of NGKs
@@Chayness thanks but after putting 50k on the Denso plugs and currently on my second set no problems..... I'll stick to what works for me. They cost a little more but it's like $12 more for the set of 4. No regrets. Denso is for performance and NGK will get you better gas mileage and last longer....fact
Suggestion: before removing anything, first blow off that coil area with compressed air so that no crud can fall into the engine when you remove the plug. Also, "cheap" torque wrenches are not accurate and accurate torque wrenches are not cheap! Nor do you need one with this job.
I went to the NGK website and it is listed as NOT compatible with my 2013 veloster. Amazon, autozone, advance auto, and Napa don't carry this number spark plug. I want to try but skeptical now.
Do you have a NAV or a VT? These are not for the NAV. These are only for the Turbo model and if you search anything above a 2014, the site will only show plugs for the NA models so be careful.
@@ralva1010 NAV is termed for "Naturally Aspirated Veloster". VT is "Veloster Turbo". So these plugs in the video would NOT work on your car. The ones in the video are for Turbo Models Only.
I did this out of old habit and to make the video lol. Plugs should last much longer now a days but since this is a GDi engine and will be more prone to carbon build up, replacing sooner is just a plus.
My 2016 veloster turbo cold start is also pretty rough. My car now only has 35k, I noticed it was doing it even when it had everything stock from the factory. But now you could really hear it with the cold air intake installed.
Thanks for the vid. Also you should think about looking into some back lighting for when your talking just to pretty up the quality a bit you don't need another fancy either.
don't use that gap tool on iridium plugs it will damage or destroy the Iridium center electrode or porcelain center use needle nose pliers or spark plug gapping tool to bend the ground strap up to the desired height. DO NOT LET THE PLIERS OR GAPPING TOOL TOUCH THE IRIDIUM CENTER ELECTRODE OR PORCELAIN
Per NGK's website: "While most NGK spark plugs are pre-gapped, there are occasions when the gap requires adjustment. Care must be taken to avoid bending or breaking off the fine-wire electrodes. NGK recommends a round wire-style or pin gauge gap tool to measure the gap. If the gap must be adjusted, use a tool that only moves the ground electrode and does not pry between or against the electrodes. NGK also recommends adjusting the gap no more than +/- 0.008” from the factory preset gap."
If you're doing full time racing, i'd probably agree but the plugs have a heat range of 9 and racing plugs typically don't have the longevity of normal plugs for daily driving. That and their higher price point just isn't practical. That higher heat range without the extra mods might even have a negative effect on ignition timing.
I've been running ruthenium in a 2012 hyundai veloster 1.6 natural aspirated with injen cold air intake and hydro sock( Washington) also k2 engineering cat back system with cat delete and manifold delete for 20000 miles so far nothing weird yet
Ruthenium on an N/A shouldn't be an issue. If you check the NGK site, they do have a Ruthenium part number but it's only for the NAV models. The Turbo models are still Laser Iridium only.

My 2016 veloster turbo cold start is also pretty rough. My car now only has 35k, I noticed it was doing it even when it had everything stock from the factory. But now you could really hear it with the cold air intake installed.
What spark plugs did you go with🤔
@@KevinBrackensFam I’m pretty sure it’s the oem spark plugs. I haven’t changed it yet.
I ❤️ you Videos Chayness
Would the NGK 96355s work on a 2013 VT?
Yes of course
Great videos 👍🏼
Thanks 👍
Thank you i am going to buy those
Thank you for doing this
No problem
Thanks for the vid. Also you should think about looking into some back lighting for when your talking just to pretty up the quality a bit you don't need another fancy either.
Yea thats a great suggestion actually lol
Thanks for the video
Thank you!
God video chayness
don't use that gap tool on iridium plugs it will damage or destroy the Iridium center electrode or porcelain center use needle nose pliers or spark plug gapping tool to bend the ground strap up to the desired height. DO NOT LET THE PLIERS OR GAPPING TOOL TOUCH THE IRIDIUM CENTER ELECTRODE OR PORCELAIN
That's good advice. I used to check gap but I should have mentioned not to adjust gap with it. I'll pin this.
Per NGK's website: "While most NGK spark plugs are pre-gapped, there are occasions when the gap requires adjustment. Care must be taken to avoid bending or breaking off the fine-wire electrodes. NGK recommends a round wire-style or pin gauge gap tool to measure the gap. If the gap must be adjusted, use a tool that only moves the ground electrode and does not pry between or against the electrodes. NGK also recommends adjusting the gap no more than +/- 0.008” from the factory preset gap."
Bro, freaking Jorge did this today before the vid was up. His car may have had a misfire.
How did it turn out?
@@Chayness it was a bad coil, so we had to order all 4 to be on the safe side
NGK R2556G-9 have shown superior
If you're doing full time racing, i'd probably agree but the plugs have a heat range of 9 and racing plugs typically don't have the longevity of normal plugs for daily driving. That and their higher price point just isn't practical. That higher heat range without the extra mods might even have a negative effect on ignition timing.
I've been running ruthenium in a 2012 hyundai veloster 1.6 natural aspirated with injen cold air intake and hydro sock( Washington) also k2 engineering cat back system with cat delete and manifold delete for 20000 miles so far nothing weird yet
Ruthenium on an N/A shouldn't be an issue. If you check the NGK site, they do have a Ruthenium part number but it's only for the NAV models. The Turbo models are still Laser Iridium only.
