It allows me to make extra cash for my car projects when I fix & sell them! Most of the time all I have to do is put a new correct spark plug in (alot of idiots must think only 1 type of spark plug is made) & clean out the carb & fuel tank & they run like new.
Roger Goodman Trust me, I hear it every day. I have a shoe repair shop and I hear “I’ll just go buy new ones” multiple times every day. Sometimes I tell them it’s time to buy new but I’ll get guys that buy these hunting boots that they only wear a few times a year so they are like new but the soles are crumbling to bits because they are made out of this degradable urethane soles that fall apart whether you wear them or not and I explain to them that I’d put on a good Vibram sole that’s never going to fall apart and I warranty them to stay on the boots until they actually wear them out and it’s usually 85-95 bucks and they say they can go buy a new pair for a not much more than that. Well no shit you can, but it’s still more expensive and they’ll only last a few years of you wearing them 2-3 times a year and when they do fall apart the manufacturer isn’t going to do anything for you because they are well past any warranty they provide OR you could spend less money and have a much better sole that’s not going to disintegrate and have a warranty that if anything ever happens you have a local guy to fix it without any hassle or shipping or anything. The irony is for every one of those people I get one or two people who want to put money into things that really aren’t worth putting money into. It’s very weird dealing with people. Most people these days just don’t care. I’ll see these guys all over town wearing suits or nice dress clothes and they have some nasty looking department store shoes on that are rolled over on the sides and for about the same cost they could be wearing some nice shoes that would look much better and their feet, legs and back would feel better. They’d just need to make the initial investment and then instead of tossing them out for a new pair get them repaired as needed. I do think times are changing a bit. I’m seeing the younger generation being a bit more conscientious about just tossing things out and they are starting to buy better things and hang on to them. I think the baby boomers were the worst as far as just flat out wastefulness goes.
I am looking forward to this one! That's a great-looking Veloster and I love the color. I bet it'll sell quick. I liked the girl that showed it to you, too. She was quite a cutie and seemed really nice as well. Best of luck on the repair!
I had a similar situation where the keeper fell out on one valve and the piston would slap and push the valve back up. How I figured it out was when I took it for ac drive once I hit 40 mph the noise would stop. I Figured out that once the cylinder built enough pressure the valve stay up on it's own. It eventually came back once you decreased the speed.
Here is a suggestion. If you want a dually diesel truck go onto GSA.gov they do auctions for government vehicles. At my first unit we had 3 duallys 2 ford f350s crew cab dually 4x4s and one chevy duramax crew cab dually 4x4 all of them had less than 90k when we gave them back to gsa for them to auction. I assure you its a good deal. And we always took good care of them apart from dents and scratches working them. Plus you might find one with cool accessories like the chevy had a full plow kit and salt spreader.
AMC guy the only thing that's bad about those vehicles is in many cases they idle a lot. Kind of like a cop car, of course it depends on the use they had but, many of them are used for security trucks and things like that and even if they're not, they commonly go past service intervals with them and don't care, I used to work in places that serviced the GSA motor pool vehicles and many times the driver of these kind of vehicles would come in and say, " it's two quarts low on oil, but just Add oil because they don't want it changed today" so in my up opinion that would be taking a heck of a gamble.
My mini cooper sounded like a tractor because the timing chain tensioner went out. Cost $2300 to repair but ran beautifully afterwards. Definitely sounds like a slapping chain
@@WatchJRGo Honestly got a feeling that may be it, too. Sounds like that chain's slapping against something. If that was rod knock or piston slap or anything with the bottom end, I doubt it'd have run as long as it has. Engine could still run with a timing chain tensioner going out, though. Just won't run so great lol.
My wife’s 13 Veloster had the same interior size as my 05 Accord EX Four door. I learned to like the handling and fuel mileage. She had the yellow one with the full glass roof and color inserts on the wheels. She really loved that car.

@@ThomasPlatt1975 I have 12 Accent, manual. It is faster then veloster because Hyundai made the accent 200 pounds lighter then the veloster with same engine and power output. 2015 and newer accents have detuned engine and are 150 pounds heavier because I guess Hyundai realized they made the more expensive veloster worse then the cheaper accent
Typically naturally asperated models don't have the same ECUs and fuel system as the turbo brothers. Best bet is to repair the head and be done with it. However I am betting if you pull the head there will be too much metal shavings to salvage the engine, or at least you will need to replace a piston.
Oil never been change on the car the oil was very dark and the engine might have been low on it until it knock then she put some oil in it but it was too late and the head gasket might have took a shit
Suggestion for a new video: Project Updates. Nothing has been said about the Audi lately. What's the status on the hunt for an engine? Haven't noticed the Miata or the EXP parked in the driveway or on the street for a while. Where are they? What about the Fiero? Is it still around? When will work start on the Camaro? Would like to see more videos on the cars JR already has. All that being said, this Veloster should be an interesting project.
Just take that head off and you may find that the problem is actually very minor. For a flip, that would be the most economically sensible thing to do.
Nice to go back in review during the quarantine. 9:34 friend (Gabe) is a voice of reason. JR "I want to replace the engine!" Friend "I know, but in the interest of time and money (you're not keeping the car your flipping it).
Hi. Nice buy. I don't know if you watch Scotty Kilmer, but he has a video on the earlier GDI engines and the problems associated with them. Might be worth checking out. Thanks for sharing.
I suggest pulling the spark plugs and looking inside the cylinders. Diagnosis before buying another engine. Adding a turbo might not be worth the added cost if you plan to sell it for maximum profit.
In right-hand drive markets, the left side has two doors. Hyundai considered releasing a true 4-door Veloster using the existing tooling, but decided against it to keep the uniqueness of the model and to avoid taking sales of the Elantra GT hatchback.
PLEASE do the turbo engine swap, i have a base veloster and want to boost it so bad but i read the DCT cant handle it and the price of turboing the base is not worth it. cant wait for the next vid on the veloster :D
My cousin has the 2017, it's turbo'd and is auto and that car for being stock is super fun to drive. I hope you are able to slap a turbo on. That was a really sweet find, I hope it's cheap and easy fix.
Good buy. The engines are cheap to purchase and work excellent. Most of the issues come from drivers pushing them hard and not adding or changing the oil. Take care of it and it will last.
I had one of those for my drivers ed cars. I don’t know if it’s just because I’m used to my stick shift truck but that was one of the hardest cars to drive.
JR you need to get a nice sized commerical building n take it to the next level !!! N I'm sure with how you make it happen you could turn a profit in multiple ways having the commercial building ...with your knowledge n the friends you have you gotta make it happen u could have one the biggest ch out there n make fat stacks !!!!!!!! Any love the vid as always keep up the solid content big homie !!!!
there should be screw inside the wheel well that attaches through the fender to the bumper on a clip to hold it on and the veloster button is just for show the more loaded packages come with push button start and glass roof
GDI engines have a habit of building up a ton of carbon on the backside of the valves. It's possible that some crap got stuck underneath the valve preventing it from closing completely and now the Piston is tapping on it it probably does have a bent valve now but I would definitely pull the head off first and take a look at it if it's just head damage that's easier than pulling the entire engine out. And if you find that it has damaged the Piston also at that point you have a easier to pull out engine because you got less crap on the top of it. either way you should be able to make a pretty good profit when you resell it.
It has a cylinder 4 rod knock. Be sure to change the o rings on the injectors after you replace the engine, and change the hard line for the high pressure fuel pump, and torque both high pressure fuel pump line nuts to 28ft lbs. Easy flip my man!
She looked kinda hot tho ngl but amergini hot af literal model Edit: saw the face after the engine video and that ain’t it chief she’s ugly af amergini a whole meal
So - how long before you apply for a dealer's license? You're getting to be pretty good at this "find, fix, & flip" stuff. The end result is that you're raising the $ for a new (or at least gently used) R8 engine, right?
BITD my Datsun WPL510 sounded just like that, after my DA EX-Father in Law worked on the engine. He had forgotten to check the position of the timing chain tensioner / guide. It had slipped out of position and the noise was the chain slack hitting the engine case. Good luck. Narragansett Bay
My wife has a 2016 veloster, also with hail damage. I use the paddle shifter to drive with, otherwise the automatic is gutless. But using the paddle shifters the car is quick, not fast, but quick.
No need for a Raptor, just get yourself a 3.5 TT EcoBoost F150 and make it your own style tow rig. 10,500+ tow capacity all day long, and '17 or newer offers 10 speed trans.
I have the blue 2016 STICK at it is a hoot. I had a RED on and the BLUE one - thing about a Turbo, but I would accumulate speeding tickets. I have gotten 45 MPG on highway
Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines suffer from heavy carbon deposits on the valves because of the fuel being atomized directly in the cylinder. Might just be heavily carbonized valves!!
@WatchJRGo, don't assume you need a dually. A one ton is definitely a great option, but a standard 4 tire 1 ton is very capable of hauling big loads. My neighbor has used a 1 ton GMC and now a 1 ton Ford to pull a 42' enclosed gooseneck loaded with 10k pounds of cars and tools easily.
That veloster shows how the owner neglected all the services and just drove it now. I bet it is the carbon build up on the valves because of the GDI plus any sludge for lack of oil change it is making the valve sticking and create that noise. With a head removal and proper cleaning and do a service to the entire car, I will be back to the road running perfect. Those engines can take 300K without an issue if it is properly service and maintain.
11:24 I worked at Hyundai when the turbo velosters came out. My first time driving it I was so pissed haha. I found out back at the shop that the car will always start in default mode, you HAD to press the Turbo/Sport button for it to be any fun. If you didn't press it, it drove normally. It was decently fun in the Turbo/Sport mode though (for being a '12 Hyundai Veloster) !
I own a 15 veloster turbo. Currently doing a motor swap sounded like that but the C4 ate itself to peices. Good luck guys. Will be looking for a update

I suggest pulling the spark plugs and looking inside the cylinders. Diagnosis before buying another engine. Adding a turbo might not be worth the added cost if you plan to sell it for maximum profit.
In right-hand drive markets, the left side has two doors. Hyundai considered releasing a true 4-door Veloster using the existing tooling, but decided against it to keep the uniqueness of the model and to avoid taking sales of the Elantra GT hatchback.
i drive a veloster daily, i’m ready for the next video on this car 🤣
Kailey Snelson I love my Veloster as well! 🙌🏽
Turns out my 2009 Nissan has XM preloaded and now I can actually use it 😄. Thanks!
Only for a few weeks, but I thought I spread the word! 💪
When i started watching i was thinking you should do a turbo swap but to hear you say that is awesome
Hey JR! I own a 13 Turbo. For automatics that large Veloster logo in front of the shifter is a push-button start :)
Lol that veloster badge in the center is where the start stop button is in later models.
I forgot my RUclips password for a while, Finally got into my account, So happy because I forgot about your channel, Now I’m addicted again!
PLEASE do the turbo engine swap, i have a base veloster and want to boost it so bad but i read the DCT cant handle it and the price of turboing the base is not worth it. cant wait for the next vid on the veloster :D
Saw "Hyundai Veloster" and never clicked so fast
My cousin has the 2017, it's turbo'd and is auto and that car for being stock is super fun to drive. I hope you are able to slap a turbo on. That was a really sweet find, I hope it's cheap and easy fix.
That GI Joe shirt is the best thing in the video !
Good buy. The engines are cheap to purchase and work excellent. Most of the issues come from drivers pushing them hard and not adding or changing the oil. Take care of it and it will last.
I had one of those for my drivers ed cars. I don’t know if it’s just because I’m used to my stick shift truck but that was one of the hardest cars to drive.
I see what you’re doing there John... leaving it idle forever and hoping it breaks so you can go turbo swap!😉👌👍
Best bonus with the 3rd door - classifies as a "sedan" vice "sports car" when getting insurance.
watchjrgo keep up the good work. P.s min 1:13 JR pulls out a bankroll like a rapper lol next time make a money phone haha
Damn this is one hell of a deal
JR you need to get a nice sized commerical building n take it to the next level !!! N I'm sure with how you make it happen you could turn a profit in multiple ways having the commercial building ...with your knowledge n the friends you have you gotta make it happen u could have one the biggest ch out there n make fat stacks !!!!!!!! Any love the vid as always keep up the solid content big homie !!!!
I love my '13 remix, can't wait to see how your build goes😁👍
Can you swap the turbo engine from the hyundai veloster? Or does it need a DCT transmission? That'd be an awesome build if you could.
The big veloster logo under the screen is where the push button would be in the keyless start models.
Great find bro!
Randomly found your video on my main feed. Also from WICHITA. Cool!
Tom Ekeler KS?
A lot of people don't realize that some years of Hyundai and kia use the same engines. The 1.6 was in the Kia Rio and Soul base.
its how Hyundai makes money. They are smart, they use the same engine and layout across the whole line. Easy to repair and cheap to build.
Hi WatchJRGo - where you find a 1.6 engine at they seem to be fairly expensive when trying to find replacements? thanks!
The circle on the bottom of the radio is for the push button start option. Since this car uses a key, they just use the logog
Great car to build. I owned the same model and year Veloster. It was a great car. Traded it for the larger Elantra GT mode.
there should be screw inside the wheel well that attaches through the fender to the bumper on a clip to hold it on and the veloster button is just for show the more loaded packages come with push button start and glass roof
When these first came out i saw more of them wrecked than any other new car except hellcats and mustangs
GDI engines have a habit of building up a ton of carbon on the backside of the valves. It's possible that some crap got stuck underneath the valve preventing it from closing completely and now the Piston is tapping on it it probably does have a bent valve now but I would definitely pull the head off first and take a look at it if it's just head damage that's easier than pulling the entire engine out. And if you find that it has damaged the Piston also at that point you have a easier to pull out engine because you got less crap on the top of it.
either way you should be able to make a pretty good profit when you resell it.
Looking forward for more
Are you sure it's not just a 3 cylinder Perkins diesel?
It has a cylinder 4 rod knock. Be sure to change the o rings on the injectors after you replace the engine, and change the hard line for the high pressure fuel pump, and torque both high pressure fuel pump line nuts to 28ft lbs. Easy flip my man!
I highly recommend just getting an entire longblock from a junkyard, swapping that in and calling it a day.
The doors on the 99-02 Saturn SC 3-Door and the Ion Quad Coupes doors were much cooler imo
Only way to know for sure which way to go is to tear it apart. Hopefully it's a cheap fix.
Dude, she was totally flirting with you.
John Miller fr, ambergini bout to beat her ass
Or trying to sell a guy a crappy car she was stuck with...
@@mixmasta He was already buying it.
@@johnmiller7682 She didn't know that though.
She looked kinda hot tho ngl but amergini hot af literal model
Edit: saw the face after the engine video and that ain’t it chief she’s ugly af amergini a whole meal
I'd love to see you fix up a 1997 Lexus ES300... I let mine go about two years ago. I miss that v6.
That G I Joe shirt is epic.
So - how long before you apply for a dealer's license? You're getting to be pretty good at this "find, fix, & flip" stuff. The end result is that you're raising the $ for a new (or at least gently used) R8 engine, right?
BITD my Datsun WPL510 sounded just like that, after my DA EX-Father in Law worked on the engine. He had forgotten to check the position of the timing chain tensioner / guide. It had slipped out of position and the noise was the chain slack hitting the engine case. Good luck. Narragansett Bay
My wife has a 2016 veloster, also with hail damage. I use the paddle shifter to drive with, otherwise the automatic is gutless. But using the paddle shifters the car is quick, not fast, but quick.
Its not quick lol, with paddles it becomes average.
Ever since I had an Elantra I've always wanted a Veloster or a genesis. Never would've thought I'd want one
Love the videos keep it up🔥🔥
Its a value issue due to carbon...common on those early engines
No need for a Raptor, just get yourself a 3.5 TT EcoBoost F150 and make it your own style tow rig. 10,500+ tow capacity all day long, and '17 or newer offers 10 speed trans.
I have the blue 2016 STICK at it is a hoot. I had a RED on and the BLUE one - thing about a Turbo, but I would accumulate speeding tickets. I have gotten 45 MPG on highway
You are my superman JR! Get it? (3 doors down)
Had a 2016 turbo one of these . Rally edition with the matte blue paint. Good car . Traded it for 16 ram Larime
LOOL no compression test or anything ? buy a 20 bucks compression tester you work on cars damn it
Diagnosing it is the next Veloster video! 💯
Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines suffer from heavy carbon deposits on the valves because of the fuel being atomized directly in the cylinder. Might just be heavily carbonized valves!!
That can lean to damage too. Oil catch can a must on GDI!
@WatchJRGo, don't assume you need a dually. A one ton is definitely a great option, but a standard 4 tire 1 ton is very capable of hauling big loads. My neighbor has used a 1 ton GMC and now a 1 ton Ford to pull a 42' enclosed gooseneck loaded with 10k pounds of cars and tools easily.
I wish Chrisfix can be doing videos like this
Yeah
That veloster shows how the owner neglected all the services and just drove it now. I bet it is the carbon build up on the valves because of the GDI plus any sludge for lack of oil change it is making the valve sticking and create that noise. With a head removal and proper cleaning and do a service to the entire car, I will be back to the road running perfect. Those engines can take 300K without an issue if it is properly service and maintain.
11:24 I worked at Hyundai when the turbo velosters came out. My first time driving it I was so pissed haha. I found out back at the shop that the car will always start in default mode, you HAD to press the Turbo/Sport button for it to be any fun. If you didn't press it, it drove normally. It was decently fun in the Turbo/Sport mode though (for being a '12 Hyundai Veloster) !
Salesman, or Service?
i'm excited about this fixer upper! i almost bought a 2017 turbo....they are FAST. i just felt like the ride itself felt cheap.
Don't but 2015 one anything past 2016 is good I know people with them over 150,000kms
Take the core support off comes it off in 15min and engine comes out easy if not you'll have to take it out with the transmission attached
Veloster girl was warm for your form, JR
Caress the curves
Nice find. Let’s see how it develops!
I own a 15 veloster turbo. Currently doing a motor swap sounded like that but the C4 ate itself to peices. Good luck guys. Will be looking for a update
Preston Morales Is it covered under warranty? I have a 2015 turbo too and it’s overheating.
Add a turbo bigger than what came from the factory.
