GAZ 24: tuning engine and interior

Today the GAZ 24 Volga car has a lot of advantages. Firstly, it is spacious and comfortable (at one time it was the best among the representative cars of the USSR). Secondly, it is very easy to maintain. Thirdly, in the "Volga" attracts the availability of spare parts and their low price. However, at the same time, the GAZ 24 has disadvantages. In general, they consist in a weak dynamics and not very attractive salon. And in order to make this car a real muscle-car, what was the legendary Ford Mustang in the 60's, car owners are improving the "Volga" by tuning. How to do it? You will find out in our article.

Engine tuning

GAZ 24 was equipped with an old and low-powered engine Ulyanovsk production. Its power is clearly not enough to provide the machine with a normal dynamics of acceleration and a quick move. Therefore, to make it more severe, motorists have to go to various tricks. Chip tuning is immediately deleted from the ways of completion, because in the 60s of the last century any electronics and ECU did not even dream of. There is a more real way, thanks to which it is possible to outfit the GAZ 24 engine, - tuning the carburetor.

So, first, we need to reduce the shoulder of the system. To do this, unfold the mechanism 180 degrees. In this case, the choke I of the chamber becomes the inlet valve. After this you can pay attention to jets. Regular machines are immediately changed to more productive ones. Also it is possible to make a number of locksmith work and to increase the working volume of the engine. For this purpose, the cylinder head is bored . Independently it is impossible to do this, if only because this work requires special equipment, skills and knowledge. Therefore, before you make tuning on GAZ, make sure in advance to choose a specialist who will produce a boring block. Also do not forget about the piston group. It is best to replace regular parts with forged ones. Such pistons are much lighter than standard ones, which contributes to a lower coefficient of resistance.

What do we get at the exit?

Thanks to these actions, it is possible to achieve that "Volga" in the 4th gear will develop a speed of 150 kilometers per hour. The dynamics will increase significantly, and fuel consumption - not (or only 5-10 percent).

GAZ 24: tuning the salon

And now we turn to the interior. First of all, pay attention to the finish. It should be replaced with a new one. Here before the car enthusiast there are two ways, or rather, two options for tuning. The first is the restoration of the former properties of the GAZ24 interior. Tuning will consist of the reconstruction of all the elements of the plating, seats and plastic. Thus, your salon will not be overloaded with unnecessary elements and modern "bells and whistles". The second way is to change the interior design to more sporty. Here you have to work on the elements of neon lights, over the replacement of seats, door cards and finishes. Many fans of sports tuning are advised to install parts made "under the carbon". You can also mount the on-board computer and change the steering wheel to a more sporty one.

Improve your GAZ 24! Tuning, made by own hands, is not only an exciting, but also very productive process.
