About this engine

Hyundai's Beta II 1.8: cast-iron block, alloy twin-cam 16-valve head, 130 hp, and about as much complexity as a hammer. It is the engine in the Elantra XD 1.8 and the 1.8 Tiburon, and a straightforward replacement when the original has worn out. The unit photographed still wears its "DOHC 16V" cam cover and a Hyundai Genuine Parts band, and is marked G4GB by the yard. Complete with manifold and ancillaries as removed. Sold as a used import, exactly as it came out of the donor vehicle and as photographed. The engine code above is the one marked on this unit; we confirm it against the stamped engine number before dispatch. Compression and leak-down testing is available on request before you commit, and every unit carries a 3-month warranty against internal mechanical failure.

What you get

  • Cast-iron block with alloy 16-valve head
  • Simple, belt-driven, nothing exotic to service
  • 130 hp — a useful step up from the 1.6
  • "DOHC 16V" cam cover and G4GB marking shown in the photos

Known fitment

  • Hyundai Elantra XD 1.8
  • Hyundai Lantra 1.8
  • Hyundai Coupe / Tiburon 1.8
  • Kia Cerato 1.8 (Beta II variants)

This list is not exhaustive. If your chassis is not here, ask — most swaps come down to mounts and sump clearance.
