Since last weeks teardown didn't have a ton of carnage, I figured I'd try to make up for it with this weeks completely destroyed 1.6L Turbo Gamma engine. This is from a 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo with approximately 144K miles. These cars have a reputation in the enthusiast community for being rather responsive to aftermarket tunes, modifications and tweaks. Like everything, there is always a breaking point and it seems as if the owner of this car found it. The damage to this engine could only happen under higher RPM. Let's tear this engine down to see just how bad it really is. For parts visit www.Importapart.com or email us at [email protected]
Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run Importapart, a full service auto dismantling business. Part of our model includes buying blown up and bad engines to dismantle for parts. We salvage the good, sellable parts and recycle rest. No, we don't rebuild engines but we do sell parts to people who do!
As always I hope you enjoyed this video. I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
