VAZ-2101: tuning with your own hands

By car VAZ-2101 tuning is, it turns out, very simple. Every car enthusiast wants to improve his car. And if we are talking about domestic, and especially the classic series, then they have where to clear up. First of all, of course, many prefer only the alteration of the body of the car and in no way change its technical characteristics. It's not right, tuning should be done in everything. You will find out how to achieve the best results.

Tuning on the "penny"

"Kopeika" entered the life of our people more than 40 years ago. During this time, she managed to fall in love with many motorists, and at the moment is gaining popularity among tuners. If we take as an example the "Volga", "Zaporozhets", "Moskvich", then they are not suitable for tuning. Of course, some manage to remake these cars, but this is ineffective. And as for the "penny", in her case, tuning is much easier, since the work is very cheap, the design is simple. In other words, it is much easier and cheaper to make car improvements than on the Volga. On the car VAZ-2101 tuning completely justifies the means.

Versatile modification

Of course, tuning should be carried out from all sides. In no case should we forget that all the power elements of the car should improve. In particular, after the improvement of the engine, it is absolutely necessary to take care of the transmission, because the load increases. Consequently, the maximum speed as well as the power increase. It is necessary to improve the suspension, wheel drive, body rigidity, improve the braking system. It is worth noting that the modernization of the engine "penny" is almost invisible to an outside observer. That's just this design improvement is the most effective. The engine, which was modernized, can develop a very large capacity, while its resource is often even higher than that of the serial one.

Intake manifold

To carry out tuning with the maximum effect, it is necessary to take certain measures. For example, if you grind the intake manifold, you can significantly improve the fuel injection system. And the use of a zero-resistance filter instead of the standard one will slightly improve the performance of the engine. It is worth noting: if you eliminate the irregularities inside the intake manifold, then do not do it too hard. If you achieve a mirror wall, they will be covered with condensate when the system is running. The only way out of this situation is to install special devices that will allow the collector to be forced to be heated. Unfortunately, it is very difficult and expensive, it is not always possible to perform at home.

Gas exhaust system

At the VAZ-2101 engine tuning can be performed with the help of small or large modifications. To achieve maximum power, it is necessary to reduce the resistance to which the exhaust gases in the exhaust system are exposed. To improve the ventilation in the cylinders, you must meet certain requirements. In particular, it is possible to increase the diameter of all pipes that go from the exhaust manifold to the silencer. In this case, the angles should be maximum so that the exhaust gases do not turn sharply. Do not install directly, it is better to use a muffler. Firstly, when driving, you will give less noise that your neighbors will like. Secondly, for a high level of noise, you can get fines.

Supply system

There are several options that will improve the dynamics and power of the engine "penny." In particular, you can put instead of one two carburettors. In other words, one carburetor will work on two cylinders. The work is complex, requires care and accuracy, because you can seriously damage the power system. In addition, it is necessary to synchronize them after mounting the two carburetors. Most likely, it will be easier to install an injection injection system. True, you will need at least a kit for installation on cars of the classic series. It is also necessary to almost completely change the power supply system. But subsequently without problems it is possible to establish the turbine. You can not put it on the carburetor. At the VAZ-2101 tuning with their own hands is usually carried out without installing a turbine. It is quite sufficient machine power, which develops the engine 2112.

Engine and brake tuning

But if you need to climb into the engine, you can significantly increase its performance if you mount a new light crankshaft. It is also best to install a lightweight camshaft. Similarly, such elements as flywheel and pistons are replaced. They are best facilitated by an experienced turner. He must scoop the piston skirt from the inside and the metal layer from the flywheel. Thus all pistons should be picked up on weight, it is desirable, that they had identical weight.

After all the work is done, it is necessary to improve the entire braking system. It is desirable to increase the contact area of the brake pads and disks. Also on the rear axle, you should install disc brakes, a hydraulic handbrake.
