Replacing the engine in a 2015 Kia Optima SX Turbo
This weekend we are replacing the engine on a 2015 Kia Optima SX turbo
2 years ago the customer brought his car in to 771 Motorsports because his engine wouldn't run right - it was stuck in limp mode without any power. The Kia dealership diagnosed it as a blown engine and gave him a quote for $9000 for the repair
We diagnosed it as a seized turbo - we found the turbine in the exhaust...
We replaced the turbo and oil feed line (which was plugged with solidified oil) and the car was back to running like a top
Fast forward 40,000kms later and the customer came back with the engine knocking and sounding like a bag of hammers
We were able to find a good replacement engine with low mileage and got the job done in 2 days - 1 day to remove the old engine, 1 day to install the new one
The car now runs better than ever and the customer couldn't be happier - which is the most important part
Enjoy this video as we vlog and go through the whole process

Can we change 2011 gdi engine to turbo engine 2016 Kia Optima
Where you guys located
How much would a motor like that cost?
My kia went at 80k with no turbo 😢
My 2012 SX Turbo motor seized at 112k.. getting mine replaced by Kia for free. It’s a shame because this car is damn fast. But at least my car will last me another 10 years.
Its too bad Kia has unlimited mileage replacement on these

The guy who owns this car has no idea how to take car for a turbocharged car
Both the YF Sonata and this here model are sexy looking sporters, shame they have shit engines .. I bought my sonata 2.0 practically brand new and have had nonstop probs and recalls ever since. But I babied my sonata to the "T", down to her engine bay sparkling clean. I had the plastic on the carpets from dealership and just barely ripped them out like a year ago but she's just a shit curse of a car I tell ya
