Car tuning has now become quite common; it is used to improve the technical parameters of the car and to stand out from the crowd of cars of the same type. The installation of air intakes, wings, additional lighting is used; in more complex cases, elements of the interior, control electronics and engine are changed. All this together is tuning... Car tuning is not the prerogative of only modern or imported cars; below we will look at what can be done with the engine of a regular and ordinary VAZ-2110, if you have the desire, a little money and straight hands.

Increasing the power of a car engine requires increasing the air supply; a standard air filter cannot cope with this task. Therefore, instead we install a low-resistance air filter, for example from Pro-Sport, its cost will be about 2 thousand rubles.
Replacing the filter allows you to get about 8% increase in engine power. Of course, it's not just about one filter, but it is necessary to get maximum efficiency from all other components. Increasing the air flow to the carburetor will be one of the elements that will increase engine power
How can you inexpensively improve the VAZ-2110 engine
Probably every car owner dreams that his car will always be fast, powerful and maneuverable. But this does not always work out, especially for the VAZ-2110. Only tuning can fix this. By this characteristic, many drivers mean the installation of various spoilers, awkward body kits and bumpers that supposedly increase aerodynamics.
It is worth noting that this entire procedure for installing plastic body kits has virtually no effect on the technical characteristics of the car. Most likely, this is just a styling element that only affects the appearance of the car. And if you really want to get the most out of your iron friend (in terms of speed), it is best to boost the VAZ-2110 engine. This process allows you to increase engine power by several tens of horsepower. But at the same time, you need to be prepared for large financial expenses, which not every car owner can afford. Therefore, in this article we will look at a budget method of tuning the most important part of each car.
Where is the best place to start? Carburetor VAZ-2110
A lot can be done with a carburetor, including increasing engine power. The main thing is to know how to do it correctly. In addition, to adjust the carburetor, you do not need to purchase any additional VAZ-2110 spare parts and worry about installing them. But here it is worth noting one important detail: with an increase in power, the engine will absorb more gasoline by an average of 5-10 percent. Therefore, after adjustment, do not be surprised by increased fuel consumption.
Increasing the air supply to the VAZ-2110 engine
This is another way to increase power, but without increased fuel consumption. In this case, it is better to replace the standard zero-pressure air filter with another option - a low-pressure filter. Such a spare part will significantly reduce air resistance, thereby adding up to 7-8 percent of power to the VAZ-2110 engine.
An exhaust manifold
Few people know that this part also significantly affects engine performance. All exhaust gases from the cylinders rush out of the working environment through the muffler. And nothing should hinder their exit. If there is the slightest delay in gases, the car begins to drive slowly and slowly pick up speed. In order to eliminate this problem, you need to replace the standard exhaust manifold with a spare part with lower resistance. The best option is a dual-flow collector. That is, the exhaust gases first enter two pipes (instead of one, as before), and then merge again into one.
Finally
As you can see, thanks to this method you can increase the power of the “ten” to approximately 120 horsepower. Moreover, the costs for such tuning are 10 times less than for boosting, which, in addition to metalwork, also requires replacing the crankshaft. You can go further by replacing the throttle valve with a larger one, giving the engine an additional 15-20 horsepower. There are a lot of budget ways to improve the VAZ-2110 engine, the main thing is to take the initiative.

By adjusting the size of the intake pipes, we change the distribution of maximum torque across engine speeds. Increasing the length of the pipes increases torque at low speeds, and if you shorten the pipes, the torque increases at medium and high speeds.
If you use a sports receiver, for example, or Torg-Mash, the engine accelerates to maximum speed.
Installing an intake receiver will also require some fine work in the future to adjust the valve timing; this can be done in a garage, but it will require certain qualifications.
Engine model VAZ 2111
This type of engine is the most common on all cars of the tenth family of the 2000s. This is a very reliable and unpretentious engine, with a volume of 1.5 liters and a power of 76 horsepower.
Due to the fact that the power unit is not crushed by any toxicity standards, it is quite playful and reacts almost instantly to the gas pedal, which cannot be said about more modern engines.
It is also worth noting that this unit, in the event of a timing belt break, does not bend the valve, since the pistons have special grooves.
Replacing the camshaft
One of the most difficult operations in tuning a VAZ-2110 engine is replacing the camshaft. It is this that determines the time and duration of opening of the intake and exhaust valves and affects the amount of power and torque of the engine. Quite a lot of modernized camshafts are sold for engine tuning; the price per set will be about 10 thousand rubles.
Replacing the camshaft is also associated with the need to synchronize the operation of the engine's intake and exhaust camshafts. You can use a split pulley, also called a Vernier pulley. This pulley model allows you to configure the intake camshaft to operate either advanced or retarded.
If the camshaft is advanced, then at the overlap point the intake valve will be more open than the exhaust valve. And in the case of retardation, everything will be the other way around; at the point of overlap, the intake exhaust valve will be open more than the intake valve. This allows you to adjust the operation of the camshaft and obtain some operating parameters.
If the camshaft is advanced, this will shift the maximum power output slightly downward to lower engine speeds. Delaying the operation will shift the maximum power to higher speeds.
The very question of setting up and establishing the operation of the engine timing mechanism is quite complex and it is advisable to entrust it to an experienced mechanic. You can read more about how to replace the shaft in this article.
Method for increasing the power of an 8 valve engine with a split gear
The split, that is, adjustable gear was not used in the last project. It is better to install it on “non-plug-in motors”. Setting method:
- The moving and fixed parts are marked with a mark, the same as on a standard pulley;
- Installation is carried out in the usual manner, aligning the crankshaft and timing mechanism according to the marks (as when replacing a belt), you should also remember about the correct tightening torque of the belt;
- If in the 4th cylinder the intake and exhaust valves are not open “to the maximum”, we carry out an adjustment: loosen the outer screws, and, holding the outer part of the gear, set the camshaft correctly. Tighten the fixing screws.

Chip tuning
Control of the ignition process, intake and exhaust, etc. This is a task for the engine control unit. In a standard engine, the unit is designed to obtain optimal power and fuel consumption. If we have replaced all or at least part of the elements described above, then setting up the control unit is simply necessary.
This will allow you to tune the engine to the changed parameters and get maximum power from it. Chip tuning can be carried out in car service centers where there is the necessary equipment and specialists.
So we briefly got acquainted with the tuning of the VAZ-2110 engine. As can be seen from all of the above, this will require some financial costs, but as a result you can get a significant increase in engine power to 120-140 hp. Especially if you carry out additional grinding and joining of joints for the block head, as well as manifolds and pipes.

Engine chip tuning circuit
Not many car enthusiasts can boast of a powerful 2110 engine. Thus, to improve the power characteristics of the engine, it is necessary to carry out chip tuning of the VAZ 2110. To do this, they usually turn to specialists, but more and more vehicle owners are doing the process themselves.
The chip tuning scheme is quite simple. To perform the operation yourself, you will need an OBD II cable (USB-Auto), a laptop computer and software. It is worth remembering that there are three options for modifying the power unit: for power (but this will increase consumption), for reducing consumption (leading to a loss of power) and balanced (balance between the optimal indicators of consumption and power).
Typically, chip tuning of a VAZ 2110 is done with the aim of reducing fuel consumption, therefore, if the owner of the car decides to do it himself, then it is necessary to select the appropriate software. But, it is recommended not to take risks and turn to professionals for help.
Engine 2114 1.5 liter 8 valves
This engine was installed on the VAZ 2114 from the very beginning of production, namely from 2003 to 2007. It should be noted that the 1.5 liter engine was produced for some time in parallel with the 1.6 liter engine.

Engine Maintenance
The engine requires attention every 10-15 thousand mileage collimators. Upon reaching 10 thousand km. It is necessary to replace oils and filters, both oil and air.
Attention also needs to be paid to the timing belt. Although in this version the valve does not bend when it breaks, it is still advisable to carry out an inspection. On these models, the timing belt slips and is often eaten by rollers.
More information about this problem can be found in our article here.
Which engine is better, 1.6 16- or 8-valve?
16 classes the engines were installed in a limited series at AvtoVAZ or at the SuperAvto subsidiary. They were also installed by tuning fans themselves.
In terms of manufacturability, they are superior to 8-cl. engines. Accordingly, if there is an option to take a 16-cl. motor, it would be nice to go with this option. But everything has its own nuances.
Advantages of 16-valve engines over 8-valve engines
- The best cylinder blowing is more power.
- More stable engine operation - less noise.
- Greater efficiency means lower fuel consumption.
However, 16th grade. the engine (1.6 l) from Priora (21126) bends the valves when the belt breaks. For some reason this scares many people. You just need to monitor the condition of the car, belts, rollers, pump, then everything will be fine! On all modern cars the valves bend.
