Replacing the engine with a more powerful one - who do you need to report to?

Which VAZ 2110 engine is better to choose/buy (reviews)

The following engines were installed on cars of the tenth family:

1. VAZ 2110 (71hp, 1.5l, 8V, carburetor).
2. VAZ 2111 (79hp, 1.5l, 8V, injector).

Engine registration when replacing – is it necessary or not?

This requires large financial investments and some skills, especially if you want to do everything yourself. True, replacing the engine with another one is now gaining popularity; registration for 2013 has become much simpler, but you will still have to tinker a fair bit. Therefore, either desperate fans of their cars decide to take such a step, or out of forced necessity, for example, due to damage to the old unit due to an accident.

Also, sometimes engines fail for a number of other reasons: improper care or banal wear, in this case it is also important to replace it with a more powerful unit, especially since it will be possible to buy a used engine, removed from a wrecked car, which means its the cost is significantly reduced. Moreover, such installation will be much cheaper and simpler than boosting the engine or installing turbocharging.

But before taking such a step, you should clarify all the nuances, especially the relationship between engine replacement and the law. As mentioned above, the registration procedure has been significantly simplified; or rather, according to the new legislation, traffic police officers do not have to check the engine number with that indicated in the documentation. And when identifying a car, only the VIN code and body number will appear. However, this does not give the right to unambiguously answer the question of whether it is necessary to register an engine replacement, due to a number of pitfalls.

Tuning the VAZ 2110 engine - questions and answers

Many consider the VAZ 2110 car to be simply an excellent product of the domestic automobile industry. For some, this car has become the only opportunity to replace their old Lada with a new vehicle or purchase their first decent car for real money. In 1998, it was a real breakthrough against the background of the then nines. The 2110 looked very confident and had certain technical advantages. The first 1.5 V8 engine turned out to be not the most powerful (73 horses) and carburetor, which did not particularly decorate it even in those distant times. Later, carburetor power units grew into a line of injection engines. The 1.5 came in two incarnations – V8 and V16 and produced 78 and 93 horsepower respectively. There was also a larger 1.6 power unit, also with two versions V8 and V16 with a potential of 81 and 89 horsepower.

As you can see, there was nothing grandiose and nothing excessively bad in the VAZ 2110 engines. A purely manual transmission with a standard five speeds was supplied for each engine and was not highly customizable to the needs of the unit. This did not have a very good effect on the tuning capabilities, so many people changed the box to a more suitable one. True, replacing the gearbox turned out to be one of the most difficult steps in bringing the car to excellent condition. Today we will look at the possibilities of chip tuning the VAZ 2110 engine. This process interests every third owner of the “Ten” and the entire family of these cars. These engines are highly tuning and can provide quite adequate performance without the use of any expensive methods.

Chip tuning of the VAZ 2110 engine - all the pros and cons

There is an opinion that engine tuning can simply kill the power unit and prevent it from revealing the necessary features during the trip. However, we are convinced and have seen in practice that this is not the case. Many owners of Tenth Family cars install various equipment on their engines, but in most cases they simply perform chip tuning of the power unit. This is flashing the on-board computer or replacing the computer with a different model. The main stages of high-quality chip tuning of the VAZ 2110 are as follows:

• identifying the current software and type of computer equipment installed on the car;
• predicting tuning results when installing one or another additional program on the on-board computer;
• connecting the car to a computer system for diagnosing and controlling the firmware of the vehicle’s brain;
• uploading new firmware and professional settings of all vehicle systems at the stand;
• a test drive performed by a specialist or a car check using special equipment within the service station;
• making the necessary adjustments and measuring the power that was obtained through tuning.

This is one of the main stages of turning your VAZ 2110 into one of the most powerful cars of the VAZ family. With this action, you can increase the power of the power unit from the original 81 horsepower to 115 horsepower without using hardware changes. However, you also need to take care of some peripheral equipment that will make driving a car safe not only for you, but also for the technical equipment of the car itself.

Installing a zero resistance air filter

A regular standard air filter is unable to properly cope with the problems that arise when a car's power increases by 30%. In this case, you will need to look for a filter with zero resistance, which does not retain air, but immediately directs it to the necessary units. This will help the unit not to suffer from lack of air.

Many VAZ 2110 owners have noticed that installing a filter with zero resistance allows you to increase power by several horses even without tuning, which is noticeable during normal use. But this change has a special effect if you have chip-tuned the engine and increased its power ratings.

Major renovation

As an alternative replacement option, you can consider major repairs or tuning. Repairing your original engine will allow you to save a lot of money. And as a result, you will receive a unit that will be in no way inferior to the new engine you purchased. If it is necessary to increase power, it is enough to install larger cylinders and bore the block. You can also increase the compression and install a turbine. Such tuning will make your car a real “beast”. To extend the life of the power plant, you need to install high-quality parts and use good quality oil.

The easiest way to increase power is to bore the power plant by 3 mm for an 82 mm piston. To get a more torquey engine and to further increase the volume to 1.8 liters, you will have to increase the piston stroke to 84 mm.

One of the advantages of repair and tuning is that there is no need to re-register the car. You can spend the saved money, for example, on improving the braking system, increasing comfort, etc. You don’t have to do all this yourself. Even if you use the services of a car service, it will cost less than buying and installing a new engine.

Well, the question is, who thinks what?

I didn't find anything similar in my search...

Motors made in Japan are of course considered, along with the gearbox and everything that implies...

What to put?

Indeed, the most important issue among VAZ 2109 owners is the range of engines that may be under the hood of their car.

Let's look at a few of the favorite solutions, which in most cases are found among those who decide to change the engine on their own VAZ 2109.

Gas is a more affordable alternative to gasoline, which will allow you to save money in the future at gas stations. This substitution is called easier. But you should take into account the fact that such a replacement will pay off only if the car is used frequently, and you will have a gas cylinder in the trunk. Such work can only be done by professionals with the appropriate qualifications and permits.

Engine selection

This is the most important stage of the entire replacement procedure. The choice should be made taking into account your own goals and the technical capabilities of the car. Almost any VAZ engine is suitable for this car model. You can install the following power plant from the following cars:

Car owners often choose the VAZ-2112. You can transfer the engine and all the filling from a VAZ-21045 or VAZ-21055. As a result, you will get a VAZ-2106 diesel. The main advantage of installing such VAZ units is that they will fit exactly. In addition, in this case you will not have to spend a lot of money and time to go through the re-registration procedure.

A good option is to install a motor from Priora. Installation of such a 16-valve unit will provide your car with 100 hp. With. It should be borne in mind that this procedure for replacing the motor is not easy. You'll have to use a grinder to cut the engine shield and weld the pan. You will need to reinstall the crankshaft bearing to a figure-eight bearing. You will also need to modify the flywheel, exhaust and cooling system, and accelerator drive. If you are willing to spend a lot of time, effort and money, then this method of increasing engine power is suitable.

If for some reason you are not considering installation options from VAZ, pay attention to the Fiat 124. This engine is one of the few that is ideal for the VAZ-2106. At the same time, the work required to install it and the effort and time spent will be minimal. The engines are also quite powerful: Lancia Thema (834), Alfa Romeo (06476) and Fiat Croma (154). You can consider options for such engines, since they are well compatible with a VAZ car, have a fairly long service life and good technical characteristics.
