The “Perpetual Motion” chip tuning laboratory performed flashing the Lada Granta car
, in order to increase engine power and transfer the car to
Euro-2
.
As the client told us, he removed the catalyst
, but after that
the error came on
(which is logical, because the ECU program includes
catalyst control
).
Now it was necessary to disable the catalyst control programmatically, and at the same time increase the engine power
. We completed the task without problems, in about 30 minutes of working time. Details later in the report.
The vast majority of Lada Granta

electronic units (ECU) . Including automatic grants (like this Lada Granta), manual grants, grants with the 21126 engine, grants with an eight-valve engine and many other grants. This type of ECU is programmed via a special cable connected to the connector of the ECU itself. And in this case, to change the engine firmware, it is more convenient to remove the ECU from the car and write the program, which is called “on the table”.
But in order to record a new program, you must first make a diagnosis - check that there are no faults on the car except for the missing catalyst (after all, you cannot “chip”
malfunctioning engine). And also, you need to read and save the factory firmware - in case you need to return everything to the factory settings. Moreover, based on the identifiers of the read factory firmware, a new (tuned) firmware is selected. If you make a mistake with the selection and load the wrong firmware, the car will either not move at all, or problems will begin with some components. This is because there are a huge variety of configurations for the Lada Granta (with air conditioning without air conditioning, with automatic transmission, etc.).
Updating the factory firmware of the AMT Lada Granta robot box
Updating the factory firmware for the robot box or AMT (automated manual transmission) to the latest version UAA6CB060040. With the new software, shift times from 1st to 2nd gear and from 2nd to 3rd gear are reduced by 30%. Crawl mode activated. This feature allows the vehicle to start moving forward without pressing the gas pedal. This option is needed to increase the comfort of the robot when driving in a traffic jam. To support confident starting in slippery conditions, the “winter mode” function has been added, which allows you to start moving from 2nd gear. Reprogramming the AMT takes approximately 20 minutes.
Reviews
| № | Positive |
| 1. | Vladimir: I am satisfied with the build quality of the Lada Granta, there are no significant comments. I fix minor damage myself. This is a budget class car, so the shortcomings are quite obvious. |
| 2. | Kirill: I haven’t had any particular complaints about the car for a year and a half, I regularly visit service stations, carry out diagnostics and replacements. When purchasing consumables, I give preference to original ones and check the correspondence of the catalog items. |
| 3. | Vasily: I bought Granta with the new mechanics of version 2181, I am 100% satisfied with the quality of work. This is a breakthrough for domestic transport, well done. Minor breakdowns are present, but they are not so significant and can be easily repaired. |
| 4. | Dmitry: in two years of active use of the car, I changed the transmission oil and filter once. The unit is operating normally, there are no comments. |
| 5. | Alexander: during the year of active operation of the machine there were no problems, I did not contact the service unscheduled. I fixed minor breakdowns myself, without visiting a service station. |
| 6. | Alexander: I’m happy with the car, there have been no major breakdowns in a year and a half of use. I believe that systematic maintenance and careful handling of equipment are the main factors for trouble-free operation of the mechanism. |
| 7. | Ivan: I’ve heard a number of negative reviews about the Granta gearbox, but I can’t confirm it. There have been no major breakdowns in two years of use. |
| Negative | |
| 1. | Sergey: extremely dissatisfied with the quality of manufacturing and assembly of components for the Lada Granta. The first time the oil seal leaked on the machine was already at 55,000 km. After 10,000 km, I replaced one of the drive cables. |
| 2. | Vasily: despite the promised service life of the transmission of 180,000 km, mine lasted only 65,000 km, after which I carried out preventive maintenance at a service station. |
| 3. | Victor: I’m disappointed with the build quality of the car, there are a lot of flaws, it’s a little damp. Elimination requires time, effort, and resources. It’s better to buy a Renault Logan, where the quality is proven and the breakdowns are insignificant. |
Conclusion The serial installation of automatic transmissions on Lada Granta cars is a huge breakthrough for the domestic automobile industry. Japanese units have long been famous for their good quality, reliability, and unpretentiousness.
I believe that most breakdowns are caused by violation of the operating conditions of the technical equipment. Owners often save on timely maintenance and the purchase of original consumables. They pour cheap mineral-based oil into the system, which is strictly prohibited.

Characteristics of the new motor
The modified engine was created on the basis of the previous version - the 1.6-liter 21114 engine. The predecessor was installed on the Samara, Lada 110 and Lada Kalina lines. The new model motor is part of the set of Lada Priora, Kalina 2 Lada Granta cars.
What are the characteristics of 21116? Weight 112 kg. The material from which the cylinder block is made is cast iron. The fuel supply device is an injector. The engine arrangement is transverse, the cylinders are in-line. Let's consider the remaining indicators.
| Options | Numerical indicators |
| Cylinders | 4; |
| Valves per cylinder | 2 (1 inlet and 1 outlet); in total - 8; |
| Working volume | 1597 cm3; |
| Cylinder diameter | 82 mm; |
| Vertical amplitude of piston stroke | 75.6 mm; |
| Compression ratio | 10.6 (the ratio of the total volume of the cylinder to the volume during the compression stroke); |
| Power | 87 horsepower; |
| Maximum torque | 140 Nm; |
| Gasoline consumption per 100 km in mixed mode | 7.2 l; |
| Recommended fuel | A-95; |
| Environmental standard for exhaust gases. | Euro 4. |
The VAZ 21116 engine overcomes the barrier of 87 horsepower at a crankshaft speed of 5100 rpm. Peak torque is achieved already at 3800 rpm. In city mode, the engine consumes 8.5 liters of gasoline per 100 km. On the highway this parameter drops to 5.7 liters.
The maximum number on the speedometer of a Grant with such an engine is 167 km/h.
Positive effects of tuning
Firmware update for the Lada Granta engine, the price of which is one of the lowest in Moscow, leads to the following changes:
- increasing the maximum speed of the car;
- improvement of vehicle acceleration dynamics;
- elimination of power failures at certain speeds;
- reducing the response time of the gas pedal to pressing.
Do you want to quickly overtake other cars on the track, taking less risk during maneuvers? In this case, you should order professional chip tuning of the Lada Granta from the Chipmaster workshop at a low price!
Chip tuning Lada Granta Hatchback
Engine
Owners of Lada Granta Sport strive to increase the dynamics of the car. Indeed, the car accelerates too slowly, which is a big problem for driving around the city, where you often have to stop at traffic lights. To prevent the car from jerking jerkily and stalling after pressing the gas pedal, it is necessary to use a special program for tuning the engine. Such chip tuning will allow the car to move away much faster. In this case, acceleration will be more dynamic, and if necessary, you can “squeeze” maximum power without delay.
Before performing chip tuning, you should consider 2 factors:
- It is not recommended to change the settings of the on-board computer immediately after purchasing the Lada Granta Sport.
- It is better to start chip tuning by installing a zero-resistance air filter.
Before performing this tuning, it is necessary to break in the engine. To do this, it is enough to travel 20 thousand kilometers. This way you will exclude loss of warranty, which may come in handy after the first 10 thousand kilometers. The tuning program resets all factory settings, and interference with the ECU (electronic control unit) is a sufficient reason for the dealer to refuse free service for your Lada Granta Sport in the future.
You can install a zero-resistance air filter on the engine yourself, since the procedure is quite simple. The filter will give the car more power because air will be better absorbed.
It is important to remember that the air filter needs regular cleaning, which should be done after the first 2 thousand kilometers, and for subsequent procedures it is recommended to use the services of specialists. They will be able to carry out the software firmware of the electronic unit with the highest quality possible, and will also make all the necessary parameter settings on a special stand.
It is worth noting that the chip tuning program must be selected for a specific model. Today, such programs are also available for the Lada Granta Sport, including the model with an automatic transmission. Thus, you can increase the machine's engine performance by approximately 10-17% depending on the type of settings and configurations chosen.

The leader of the domestic automobile industry began production of the Lada Granta model in 2011, at the same time removing the “Seven” from the assembly line. The cars were of different classes, and the difference in price was minimal. Car enthusiasts who previously preferred classics began to switch en masse to the VAZ 2190, rightly believing that driving it would be more fun.
And here a surprise awaited them. With a modern design and a fundamentally new filling, in some characteristics it was inferior even to older models, in particular, in acceleration intensity and fuel consumption. But don't be so quick to be disappointed.
Tuning the multimedia system
In addition to the ESUP, you can also reflash the multimedia system. After the procedure, new functions will become available to the car enthusiast, and the system itself will be more modern. After the procedure, you can install rear view cameras, you will be able to access the Internet, and the player will read new file formats. You can install navigation.
So, you can look for problems in the mechanical part of the car for a long time and not find them. Or you can simply reflash the electronic system, and a lot will be resolved by itself.
Review and technical characteristics of manual transmission - automatic transmission of Lada Grants. Typical faults of the Lada Granta - an improved prototype of the Lada Kalina. The car is available to a wide range of people, spare parts and consumables are available. The cost of components is within the average price range.
The Lada Kalina received a frame, improved suspension, and a manual transmission. Despite the improvements, the problems at the checkpoint remain the same.
Characteristics of the Lada Granta car
Indeed, all of the above disadvantages occur in new cars. But find an opportunity to sit behind the wheel of a car that has been in use for several years. The difference is indescribable. There are no failures when overtaking, and gasoline consumption is within normal limits. The point here is not at all that some details have been worked in. The owner just did a chip tuning of the Lada Grant, and the car became much more agile. What it is and whether it is possible to do it yourself, we will consider below.
The reason for all the troubles is that the manufacturer, in order to save money, installs average firmware at the factory. It is suitable for all operating conditions. Let's try to figure it out. For example, on a highway with several lanes and a complete absence of traffic jams and traffic lights, you can move smoothly, and if you need to increase speed, you can do it smoothly. These are the average operating conditions.
In real life, you have to overtake in the oncoming lane, and for this the acceleration must be intense. In order to make the engine work under certain operating conditions, you need engine chip tuning. Of course, it’s no secret that in modern cars, when you press the gas pedal, fuel is not instantly injected into the cylinders. The ECU itself decides how best to do this in each situation. It does this under the control of a special program called firmware. This is the firmware that needs to be changed.
It should be noted that tuning the Lada Granta engine is a rather complex process; it requires not only skills in car repair, but also the ability to use a computer, as well as knowledge of at least the basics of radio engineering. You need to think about the warranty; it can be voided if the dealer becomes aware of a firmware change. In addition, many workshops will do this work professionally in 10 minutes, although they will charge accordingly. If you have weighed everything and decided that the advantages of tuning the Lada are greater than the disadvantages, then let’s get started.
Do-it-yourself equipment for flashing a VAZ ECU - what kind will you need?
As the sad experience of some car owners shows, not everything that comes off the assembly line is gold. In addition to the disappointing statistics of various parts with manufacturing defects, modern realities have added one more item - electronics. Electronic equipment often has imperfections that can make driving a vehicle very difficult. The main blow, as expected, is borne by the control unit. It is about the ECU and how its firmware and flashing is carried out that will be discussed.
Tuning door panels
Door panels are often subject to tuning, but there are different methods. The first and most common is covering the panels with leather or leatherette, but at the same time, the work is quite expensive in the form of flexible and curved shapes, on which it is problematic to install leather. In addition, such a finish on the skin will show its bad side after some time, or more precisely, the material will begin to lag behind the panels due to temperature changes, the same shape, moisture and constant contact with the panels. Problems can be solved by cutting out a podium from chipboard, on which the material will be installed in the future, but the blanks must be made with extreme precision, so that there are no incidents regarding the holes for the handles and window lift panels.
