Improved parameters and tuning of engine 21116

Togliatti-made cars continue to be popular among numerous car enthusiasts. First of all, because of the affordable cost. However, even the most ardent fans of AvtoVAZ admit: the Lada Granta has many shortcomings. So those who want to get a faster and more comfortable ride, an aesthetic appearance of their car, soon after purchasing it begin to improve their purchase. Fortunately, tuning the Lada Granta Sport is not too complicated, it has been worked out and can largely be done with your own hands. And everything necessary for modernization is sold in specialized stores.

And instead of a heart - a fiery engine

• Car owners have long figured out all the disadvantages of the engines that Ladas are equipped with. They are inherent in almost all copies of the line.
• The engine often stalls when starting. Alternatively, it gains momentum too slowly. In urban conditions, taking into account traffic jams and traffic lights, driving the Lada Granta becomes difficult.
• The Granta does not move very well on rough roads and unpaved roads at low speeds. The car handles wet country roads especially poorly.
• There are also problems with high revs: driving through mud in this mode is simply dangerous.
• High climbs are, to put it mildly, not ideally overcome. You have to slow down before the hill, switch to 4th, or even 3rd gear.

All these problems are solved by chip tuning Lada Grants Sport. Jerks, drops and jerks disappear, the engine stops stalling every now and then, and “pulls” perfectly both on a normal highway and on wet country roads. Chip tuning grants sport eliminates endless switching on hills: they can be easily overcome by the car in fifth gear. The engine does not stall and starts from the first revolution, the time interval between pressing the pedal and the reaction to it disappears. Many drivers note that after chip tuning the Lada Granta Sport, the engine begins to run quieter and smoother. Chip tuning itself comes down to uploading improved firmware to the control unit. The operation is available for independent execution. If you are not confident in your programming abilities, contact a specialist. There are plenty of chip tuning specialists, and they charge relatively inexpensive prices for their services.

Major engine malfunctions

The main negative feature of the modified engine: when the timing belt breaks, the car bends the valve. Let's figure out how and why this happens. The culprit for this phenomenon can be considered to be interruptions in the operation of the automatic tensioner, which causes the timing belt to break. If the pump, which is also engaged in the belt, fails, the computer may not tension the belt correctly, causing it to break.

If the belt breaks while the engine is running, the camshaft stops receiving rotational impulse from the crankshaft. The valves freeze in the open position, that is, in the combustion chamber. At the same time, the crankshaft continues to rotate, the piston rises to its top dead center. There is a valve in its way, and the piston has no choice but to bend the interfering part. After such a breakdown, an expensive overhaul of the engine is guaranteed. This is the main disadvantage of this engine.

The new VAZ engine is characterized by an increase in coolant temperature to above normal levels. In this case, it is necessary to check the condition of the thermostat and pump.

Power measurements after chipping

They can be made on special stands. We measure there without any problems, the only negative is that it’s a little expensive. Therefore, savvy car owners solved the problem within budgetary limits. It turns out that there is a special program for the phone that produces fairly accurate numbers. And if you do not strive for the filigree execution of a task, then it will certainly do. Similar programs for iPhones have already become famous. What should you do if you have an Android? And there are free options here. But, according to experts, their measurements are sometimes greatly distorted. There are paid ones, but they are inexpensive. It’s better to buy one of these, put it on your phone, enter the required data for your car and try to measure the changes in power after chipping the engine.

Engine tuning Lada Granta 8 valve

And so in the first part I told you what can be done with the motor of your 8-valve valve for 10-20 thousand rubles. In the second part I will tell you what can be done with an 8-valve valve so that owners of 16-hole valves start to get nervous. For more serious tuning of 8 holes, you already need a different budget, many know that the first horsepower is the cheapest, and to get the same amount you need to invest a lot of money. Many at this time are starting to collect 16 cl engines, but if you are a maniac and pointing at a photo of a charged 16-hole with a knife, hanging on the wall, because a guy beat you, and sometimes girls come across, with vegetables on the prior, then the situation is something like this... Again, we won’t bother too much with the 8-hole bottom, bottom from Granta is a completely worthy alternative to the heavy stock bottom end. 1. We put grantoniz, 7000 rubles 2. we choose a more serious camshaft, for example STI-4 (12.1 / 308-300), OKB engine 68.72, Stolnikov 11.8-322, Nuzhdin 12.1-292 is also an option, 4000-8000 rubles 3. You still have the receiver from the previous config, 4. The cylinder head must be modified, with a shaft whose phase is in the region of 300 and higher and the lift is over 11.5 mm, it is necessary to modify the cylinder head, 7000-8000 rubles 5. For the fuel system: injectors we change to more productive ones, 107 Volgov will do, 2500 rubles 6. In addition to everything, you need to tighten the degree with a cylinder head gasket from the grant, 7. Setting up the ECU - 4000-4500 rubles Total: + 25000-30000 rubles to what you already had installed, not cheap, but for this money you can simply turn your 8v into 16v, and then the output is already 130-135 forces and this motor spins at 8000

And here are the owners’ reviews about chip tuning

1. Of course, the factory firmware of the sports Grant has some bugs. If, for example, we drive in second, if we roll, we press on the gas, it does not gain momentum at all. Sometimes there are dips and jerks when switching. So I decided to get it chipped by a specialist. Immediately upon leaving the service station I noticed that it drove really well and came to life. The cutoff was set to 7200 - excellent sound. We added speed to the engine. In general, it was an interesting car. On some foreign cars, with additional chipping, you won’t even understand whether you did it or didn’t do it, there’s practically no difference. And here – everything is palpable, I’m happy! Now I’ll install the correct exhaust so it can breathe. Victor Levandovsky
2. The difference is immediately noticeable after replacing the factory engine software. If previously the speed switching occurred at 4500 rpm, then after adjustment the switching occurs already at around 5000-5500 rpm. The response to the gas pedal has become faster. The power has increased, which allowed the Lada Granta with automatic transmission to slip. I was pleased with the work done (from the site https://xn--80aal0a.xn--80asehdb/car-description/reviews-tests/lada-granta-reviews-tests/421-chip-tyuning-dvigatelya-lada-granta-otzyvy .html).
3. Video review:
   I talked to my friends. Found a man. I asked for it. ADACT firmware for Sports. The car has become more interesting. Acceleration is observed throughout the entire range of engine operation. The cutoff is moved far away. But there is no point in turning it further than 6500, since the intake-exhaust phases are peculiar. I went to Krasnodar the same day. I filled it with 98 Lukoil. Traction appeared throughout the entire range. The gap disappeared when you unscrew the first one, then switch to the second one, my car “shut up” and became stupid. And now the operation of the internal combustion engine has become more elastic, the torque is more stable (from the site https://adact2.ru/chip-tuning/otzyvy/lada/granta).
4. And now about what interests most readers of this article. What has changed after tuning with the chip? The dullness of the gas pedal has disappeared, pickup from 3000 has become much better (and switching to a lower gear generally gives the effect of going to boost :D), the cutoff has shifted to around 7000 rpm (good for the future shaft, but that’s next summer), the failure when switching from 1 has disappeared by 2. Unfortunately, I did not notice any changes in consumption. As it was 10, it remains so (from the site https://adact2.ru/chip-tuning/otzyvy/lada/granta).

But in general, reviews about chip tuning of the Lada Grant are different. Some users do not share the opinions of the authors of the above videos and texts at all, preferring not to change the factory firmware of the engine. But do not forget that there are many firmwares that allow you to approach chipping each car individually. And what the result of replacing the software will be will also directly depend on the technician.

Togliatti-made cars continue to be popular among numerous car enthusiasts. First of all, because of the affordable cost. However, even the most ardent fans of AvtoVAZ admit: the Lada Granta has many shortcomings. So those who want to get a faster and more comfortable ride, an aesthetic appearance of their car, soon after purchasing it begin to improve their purchase. Fortunately, tuning the Lada Granta Sport is not too complicated, it has been worked out and can largely be done with your own hands. And everything necessary for modernization is sold in specialized stores.

Important point: gas pedal

VAZ does not equip all models of its products with an electronic version of the gas pedal. If it is not on your Lada Grant Sport, tuning will include replacing the mechanics with electronics. This pedal provides the control unit with the ability to more accurately and quickly respond to the driver’s actions. The dosing of the force developed by the engine becomes jewelry-precise. An additional positive point is more economical fuel consumption.

If your Lada has an electronic pedal, you may encounter another problem: insufficient response to pressing the accelerator. It indicates that the throttle valve is operating with some delay. The owners of the Lada Granta Sport car figured out how to solve the problem long ago: tuning should be supplemented with a booster - a device that amplifies the signal. Its installation is elementary and does not require any special knowledge or specific tools. The booster is installed between the electronic control unit and the accelerator within half an hour. When changing gears, the acceleration gap disappears and the car accelerates in a shorter period of time.

An example of increasing the power of a VAZ-2114 engine

During the tuning, the 2111 (1.5 l) engine was modified.

Boring of seats along the internal diameter, which is equivalent to enlarging the valve;

Valve seats, VAZ 2111 engine

New cylinder head elements

Tuning timing gear

Our new engine remains “not plug-in” - the valves do not reach the pistons. When tested on a bench (the sensors were turned off), the result was not impressive.

Checking without adjusting the ECU

If you install the engineering firmware, you can select the parameters “from start to finish.” And then the picture looks better...

Torque graph after tuning is completed

All sensors, including the lambda probe, were connected in the latter case. We managed to get 96 “forces” at 5300 rpm!

How not to increase power!

Increasing sports power

If you take care of your Lada Granta Sport, engine tuning should affect the filters. Factory - it is recommended to replace it with a zero resistance filter. It comes complete with special impregnation. Dust particles settle on the lubricant, and purified air passes at higher speeds through many microscopic holes.

The zero resistance filter provides:

• 10% above the normal rate of passing oxygen;
• more complete fuel combustion;
• increase in engine power by 3-5%, depending on the initial engine size.

The disadvantages of a zero resistance filter include:

• the need for private service. The filter should be washed at least every 10 thousand kilometers. And if you drive on country roads, then twice as often;
• purchase of a special cleaning agent;
• more frequent filter replacement - “nulevik” can withstand no more than 20 cleanings and new impregnations.

If these nuances do not bother you, and you are interested in increasing the engine power, you can replace the filter yourself. The factory air filter is removed along with the housing, and a zero filter is installed in its place.

Lada Granta 21116 engine life, maintenance, pros and cons

The Lada Granta 21116 engine model under consideration differs from its predecessors in sufficient reliability and efficiency. If you take into account compliance with the operating and maintenance conditions (time frames for maintenance), you can significantly extend the service life of the unit.

Features of servicing the VAZ 21116 engine:

• The engine oil and oil filter are replaced every 15 thousand kilometers (recommended by the manufacturer);
• mandatory adjustment of valve clearances and replacement of the valve cover gasket;
• replacing spark plugs, air and fuel filters after 30 thousand kilometers;
• after a run of 90 thousand kilometers, they change the coolant, drive belts, high-voltage wires, etc.

Fuel consumption per 100 km, even when driving in city traffic (traffic jams, traffic lights), usually does not exceed 10 liters. By the way, the use of AI-95 fuel recommended by the manufacturer can reduce fuel consumption even further.

Upgrading the exhaust system

To further strengthen the engine of the sports car, it is recommended to supplement the tuning by making changes to the exhaust system. Namely, dismantle the existing exhaust manifold and install a “spider”. It will collect exhaust gases from several cylinders at once into one conducting pipe.

When purchasing such a collector, experts advise contacting manufacturers who have proven themselves well. Their products use high quality steel, which is treated to prevent rusting, and the wiring diagrams are calculated as successfully as possible.

THEME FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO MAKE KALINA MORE DYNAMIC AT A LOW COST.

1. I decided to make my KALINKA more powerful and dynamic. Chiptuning gives an improvement, but not enough to be satisfied. I decided to move on.

2. AND SO – WE REPLACE the engine camshaft (we are talking about a 1.6 liter 8 cl. engine). For replacement, I chose the camshaft OKB "DINAMIKA" 8-266-101, which gives a power increase of 15 hp. and torque increase 16 kg/m.

3. For a new camshaft, we change the firmware for it. (but to fine-tune the firmware you need a JANUARY 7.2 controller (but not 7.2+).

All the work was carried out at the DINAMIKA Design Bureau only because of the stitching for the 101 camshaft (although mechanically I can do everything myself).

4. And so I drove it - I feel that the torque on the shaft has noticeably increased at all speeds. BUT. IRON IS ONLY 50% OF SUCCESS.

JUST AS I myself have previously installed and adjusted similar camshafts on carburetor cars - and I know what they are capable of.

5. I went to PAULUS to finalize the firmware for the 101 camshaft!

GOOD FIRMWARE is the second 50% OF SUCCESS.

My KALINKA ran completely differently!!

The acceleration dynamics have become noticeably better, from the very bottom all the way up to 6000 rpm! On the road, many cars and foreign cars are also inferior to me in terms of acceleration dynamics! DRIVING BECAME MUCH MORE CONFIDENT AND CALM (psychologically I am confident in my car). )

I expected that with an increase in power fuel consumption would increase - IT DID NOT INCREASE. (let me remind you of the PAULUS firmware - 50% success). Just recently I made a trip along the GOLDEN RING (600 km) (Vladimir, Suzdal, Gul Khrustalny), the car load was 100% - 5 people in the car and luggage.

Now the average consumption (city-highway) is less than 7 liters.

YOUR CONSUMPTION WILL INCREASE BECAUSE THE CAR DRIVES BETTER AND YOU WANT TO PRESSURE ON THE GAS HARDER!

ALL COSTS for engine tuning are less than 15 thousand rubles (of which 4 thousand rubles are for the purchase of JANUARY, all BOSCH).

ANOTHER VERY SUBTLE QUESTION! WHY I CHOOSE 101 CAMSHAFT.

1. For some reason, everyone is trying to install semi-sport camshafts (106, 107, 108, 109) which give an increase in power and torque at high speeds of 5000-7000 rpm. BUT. Such shafts have a small increase in TORQUE (or no increase at all) at LOW and MEDIUM speeds, which sometimes results in a loss with conventional camshafts during normal driving.

To drive normally (dynamically) on such shafts, you must constantly spin the engine to high speeds of 5000-7000 rpm. - and often you drive in this style - only at races.

2. THEREFORE I chose camshaft 101 which gives a noticeable increase in TORQUE from idle speed up to 5000-6000 rpm. which, during normal driving, gives a huge gain in acceleration dynamics right from the start.

Although you can race with this camshaft, I can easily argue with foreign cars with engines up to 1.8-2 liters in volume!

HUGE THANKS TO VLADIMIR GOLUBEV AND THE WORKERS OF OKB “DYNAMICS”!

"Deep" tuning

True engine boost enthusiasts can go much further in their pursuits. Among the most popular measures:

• installation of forged pistons;
• cylinder boring;
• installation of a nitrogen accelerator;
• turbocharged engine.

If you intend to strengthen the engine of your Granta Sport in this way, it is better to carry out tuning in a comprehensive manner. Installing a forged group is pointless without intensifying the fuel supply, and turbocharging accelerates the wear of serial pistons. And do not forget that increased “sporty” engine power requires intervention in other car systems. It will be necessary to strengthen the brakes, modify the suspension, and make changes to the transmission. Without these procedures, you will not be able to enjoy the speed of your fret for long.

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.

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.

Attention to the salon

The design inside the Granta is not bad, the seats are quite comfortable - there is lateral support and heating. However, if you want to own a non-standard version of the Sport Grant, tuning the interior is still necessary. At least in minimal quantities.

• In the case of the Lada Granta Sport, interior tuning most often begins with the installation of alternative dashboard lighting. The algorithm of actions is simple: the devices are dismantled, and the LEDs on the board are soldered to a variant of a different color.
• Next, you can finish the handles and mirrors to match the body. The most commonly used is spray paint.
• A good idea for the Lada Granta Sport: tuning the interior - in terms of the “chrome” frame of the deflectors, as well as the console.
• You can cover the elements inside the cabin with vinyl.
• We supplement the heating of the mirrors by integrating an electric drive into them.

Try to implement these ideas for tuning sports grants 2021 - the only thing that can limit the flight of its owner’s imagination is a lack of money or lack of time.

Result

After chip tuning is carried out, you will notice the following improvements:

• the car will sharply pick up speed and stop stalling after pressing the gas pedal;
• acceleration will be smooth and without jerking;
• if you need to overtake, you can quickly accelerate to maximum speed;
• the car will consume less fuel;
• power will increase;
• traction and dynamics will improve.

The most important advantage of such an upgrade is that no mechanical changes occur in the engine. With the correct settings on the on-board computer, the effectiveness of the result is guaranteed.
