Vehicle Fitment
This engine is a direct replacement for the following North American models:
Hyundai Santa Fe / Hyundai Santa Fe Sport: 2013, 2014, 2015. 2016
Trims: Base, GLS, Sport (2.4L GDI Models Only)
Installation:
Because this is a Brand-New Long Block, you will be transferring your external accessories to the new block. Follow these steps to ensure your warranty remains valid and the engine performs perfectly:
High-Pressure Fuel Pump: You must transfer your original GDI high-pressure fuel pump and high-pressure fuel lines. Inspect the pump “bucket” (lifter) for wear before installation.
Intake & Exhaust Manifolds: Reuse your original manifolds. Ensure the intake manifold ports are cleaned of any carbon buildup before bolting them to the new head.
Sensors & Harness: Transfer your original wiring harness and all sensors (Knock, Crank, Cam, and Oil Pressure).
Oil Cooler & Pan: Ensure your oil cooler is thoroughly flushed. If your previous engine suffered a bearing failure, replace the oil cooler and lines entirely to prevent metal shavings from contaminating the brand-new engine.
Break-In Procedure: Since this engine has low mileage, follow a strict break-in period. Use high-quality 5W-20 or 5W-30 synthetic oil and change the oil/filter after the first 500 miles.
What is included
You receive exactly what is pictured. Engines are supplied as a long block assembly with the components visible in the photos. Accessories such as the alternator, starter, intake manifold or sensors are included only where you can see them on the unit, so check the photographs before ordering and ask us if anything is unclear.
Before you order
- Confirm the engine code against your own vehicle, not just the model year.
- Japanese market units can differ from the US version in intake, loom and sensors.
- Replace the timing components, water pump and seals while the unit is out. It is cheap insurance on an engine this age.
- Keep your original accessories until the swap is finished and running.
