Engine from a foreign car for VAZ 2107 without modifications

Hello, dear readers of the Kak-Kupit-Auto.ru . Today I propose to discuss a very important topic, namely the question of how to choose a car engine , which engine to choose , what types of engines are there , how do they differ and why are some of them better than others? I hope that after reading this article, most of you will be able to answer all these questions, even if you previously knew nothing about how to choose a car engine.

Choosing engine type: diesel or gasoline?

It just so happens that the best invention of mankind in the field of automobile engines is still the internal combustion engine (ICE) . Engineers are constantly making attempts to install an electric motor , but the problem with its power supply has not yet been solved, so an electric motor in cars cannot yet be taken seriously.

So, internal combustion engines are divided into diesel and gasoline , and they differ in this way:

A gasoline engine runs on gasoline (grades of gasoline: A-92, A-95, A-98, etc.) and an electric spark is used to ignite the fuel mixture in the engine.
A diesel engine runs on diesel fuel (aka diesel fuel, diesel fuel), no spark is used, and the fuel itself ignites at the right moment, due to the high pressure in the cylinder.

Diesel engines began to be installed in passenger cars relatively recently, after they had taken root on tractors and trucks, which is why diesel engines are still jokingly called “tractors . And gasoline engines use an electric ignition system to ignite fuel (which is simply absent on diesel engines), for which they are jokingly called “lighters .

Both diesel and gasoline engines are internal combustion engines (ICE) , that is, movement in them occurs as a result of the combustion of fuel inside the engine. The only difference is that gasoline is ignited by an electric spark from a spark plug, while diesel fuel ignites from pressure. When fuel burns, gases are released, their volume increases and pushes engine parts (pistons), so the energy of the burning fuel turns into motion energy.

In addition to diesel and gasoline, there are also electric engines (this is still quite exotic) and hybrid power plants (ICE + electric motor). However, both of them have significant drawbacks, therefore, dear readers, I strongly recommend that you opt for a diesel or gasoline engine . How to choose the right type of internal combustion engine, read the article which engine to choose: diesel or gasoline.

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.

Hello again everyone! I would like to congratulate all the ladies driving and without it on the magnificent holiday of March 8th! In this post I will talk about the mechanical part of the issue. First of all, you should first look at what we have, namely the Lada

and the so-desirable Toyota Ashnoy series engine with all its giblets.

and took all the dimensions from it (using a Toyota thrust washer is also possible, but it turns out less accurately). Next, you need to decide on the thickness of the washer: for a VAZ, the distance from the mating plane of the box to the mating plane of the flywheel is about 25 mm, for Toyota it is 15 mm, because I decided to use an adapter plate 10 mm thick, we get 25 + 10-15 = 20 mm, the actual thickness of ours washers. Now on one side a hole is made for the toe of the Toyota crankshaft, on the other for the KV VAZ bearing and six holes for the flywheel bolts. We get this:

Below, for clarity, the discrepancy between the holes of Toyota and VAZ:

I’ll make a reservation right away, despite the fact that I managed to insert two bolts, all six holes do not coincide, we simply do it - we break them in the right directions. The fastening bolts for all this stuff are a separate issue. You can use the bolts securing the camshaft sprockets of the VAZ 2112, but they need to be reworked (shortened and threaded). Because they have rolled threads, I didn’t like these actions, and it was decided to make my own bolts:

Now we take and put it all together, adjusting it with a file along the way. It should look like this:

Gasoline engine: injector or carburetor?

If you have decided on a gasoline engine , and in the question of new or used you definitely choose the second option (used car), then the most important thing you need to do when choosing a specific car is to make sure that the engine is equipped with an injector and not a carburetor. Now I will explain why this is so important.

So, gasoline engines in cars are injection and carburetor .

A carburetor is a mechanical fuel supply device, the stability of which depends on many factors, such as weather.
Injector - replaced the carburetor; it is its more advanced, electronic analogue. This is a system that itself determines how much fuel to supply to each cylinder at any given time and depending on the situation.

Previously, all gasoline engines were equipped with carburetors until electronics were invented. Now everything is the other way around: all cars are equipped with electronic injection ( injector ), and the antediluvian carburetors have become archaic, they are not even installed on domestic cars and it is unlikely that cars with carburetor engines are still produced anywhere in the world.

The carburetor requires constant monitoring, adjusting, cleaning, dancing around it on a frosty winter morning, etc. But the injector is an electronic mega-brain, which itself determines at what moment how much fuel to supply to the engine, depending on various factors. Naturally, the injector quickly replaced its outdated ancestor.

So, dear readers, if you want to buy a used car, but do not want to start understanding the structure of the carburetor, then it is better NOT to buy a car with a carburetor engine , take only an injection one and then you will always have a motor.

Which engine to choose: “aturbo”?

Now let's try to answer the question, do you need a car with a turbocharged engine? Classic engines that are not equipped with a turbine operate under normal atmospheric pressure, which is why they are called " atmospheric ". In engines equipped with a turbine, air enters the combustion chamber under pressure created by the turbine; such engines are called “ turbocharged ”.

Modern manufacturers are increasingly equipping their car engines with turbocharging . The turbine forces air under pressure into the engine, which increases the engine's power and torque . At the same time, fuel consumption remains unchanged, and high torque, unlike naturally-aspirated engines, is available in the widest speed range.

With naturally aspirated engines, high torque is available only in a narrow range of engine speeds (about 3000 rpm):

A significant disadvantage of a turbocharged engine is its higher price. A new car with a turbocharged engine will cost 5-10% more than the same one, but with a naturally aspirated engine. However, this disadvantage is compensated by low fuel consumption for such power. The power of a turbocharged engine will be the same as that of a larger-volume naturally aspirated engine , but consumption, on the contrary, will remain low . This is one of the main advantages of turbo engines: at low consumption they produce high power .

The second serious disadvantage of the turbine is its low reliability . If when buying a new car under warranty you can be almost sure that the turbine will last at least 100 thousand, then when buying a used car with a turbine, be prepared for its possible failure at any time. In the event of such a breakdown, the car will lose traction, but will still be able to drive, and replacing the turbine will cost somewhere between 1-2 thousand dollars, depending on the make and model of the car.

Old turbocharged engines had such a disadvantage that they could not be turned off suddenly after a trip . With such an engine, you will have to wait 2-3 minutes at idle until the turbine slows down its rotation and only then turn off the engine, otherwise you risk damaging the turbine. Modern turbo engines are equipped with a separate turbine lubrication system, which you to turn off the engine immediately after arriving at your destination, without waiting for the turbine to stop.

Let's summarize. Let's list the pros and cons of a turbocharged engine over a classic atmospheric engine of the same volume.

Pros of a turbocharged engine:

more power and speed
thrust is higher and available at all engine speeds
low fuel consumption for such power

Cons of a turbo engine:

expensive repairs in case of turbine failure
higher price when buying a new car

How to choose engine size?

Now, dear readers, the time has come for you and me to choose the engine size . power and torque are related to volume . The larger the engine displacement, the higher the maximum power, and therefore the maximum speed to which you can accelerate the car, and the higher the engine traction force (torque).

Large engines also have a significant drawback, which is that a large powerful engine is still expensive . High fuel consumption may not matter if you plan to drive less than 10 thousand km annually, but if your annual mileage exceeds 30 thousand km, then fuel costs, with a large engine volume, can become a serious item of your expenses.

In addition, powerful engines in many regions are subject to high taxes , and the cost of an MTPL policy reaches its maximum value for cars with engines with a power of 150 l/s or more. In general, dear readers, try to take all this into account and be careful when choosing a car that you can afford.

Engine size is indirectly related to its durability . If you choose the same car, but with engines of different sizes, then it is better to take a larger engine, because it will have higher power, which means it will work at half strength. It is known that German cars with engines with a capacity of over 5 liters, with timely oil changes, can easily travel more than a million kilometers without engine overhaul. Small-displacement engines, on the contrary, constantly operate under full load , so proper running-in in the first thousand kilometers is very important for them, but even with careful operation their service life is unlikely to exceed 300 thousand km

I do not advise you to choose a low-power engine if your car is equipped with an automatic transmission and air conditioning , because these systems “eat up” a decent part of the engine’s power. Be sure to take a test drive to feel if the selected engine has enough traction for you with this gearbox and with the air conditioning on. But a car with a manual transmission with the same engine power will be much faster, especially if you turn off the air conditioning.

Larger engines much faster , which is important in winter. This is especially noticeable on a frosty winter morning, when a two or three liter engine warms up to 60° in a couple of minutes, and a small car reaches this temperature after 10 minutes of operation under load. By the way, diesel engines take even longer to warm up - this is one of the disadvantages of a diesel engine.

As I mentioned above, all the disadvantages of large engines come down to high costs. In addition to high fuel costs, there are also high transport taxes and the high cost of compulsory motor insurance for powerful engines. Large displacement engines are more massive and have more mass. During maintenance, more oil is poured into them, and in general, the cost of servicing large-volume engines is higher, simply because not everyone can afford to maintain such an engine.

In a word, dear readers, a large engine is quite expensive .

What engine from a foreign car can be installed on a VAZ 2107? | Topic author: Dima

The time has come for a complete overhaul of the engine on the VAZ 2107; this repair will cost about 12 thousand. I decided to replace the engine, does anyone have experience tell me which engine is better to install without major alterations

Arthur The closest technical characteristics to the power unit of the “seven” are the products of such companies as Nissan and Fiat. Their motors can be used with minimal modifications.

Maxim Durak grows rich in thoughts

Yaroslav You can put anyone. Price, engine cost and labor cost. The cost of the engine is from 100,000, the price of work when installing a non-standard engine is from 100,000. Questions regarding the purchase of the engine and subsequent registration with the traffic police... are yours. On average it will cost 350,000 - 450,000 with registration. Ready to pay?

Ruslan, without major modifications, throw a 16 valve engine in there and have fun

Faith will not work without modifications. and so they put it - sr20det, 1jz, 3sgte, these are successful. they installed the 20xe as standard on the 2110, so in theory it’s possible in 2107, people used the 4age chisel. Any of these engines costs as much as a 7th can in good condition, if you add the cost of installing it, we get the amount for which you can buy a good 9-10 , this is provided that you do it yourself.

What sizes are car engines?

Cars with an engine capacity of 1 liter (1000 cm3) or less are called small cars. For example, Daewoo Matiz is equipped with gasoline engines with a volume of 800 and 1000 cm3 .

Such babies are not distinguished by great power or traction (50-60 l/s), but they also do not upset owners with high fuel consumption, usually falling within 4-5 liters per hundred. For driving alone in a small car, such an engine is quite enough, but the lack of power begins to manifest itself if the car is well loaded. Overtaking becomes quite dangerous, the car accelerates reluctantly, especially at high speed. Small-volume engines constantly operate under full load, so their service life, even with proper care, rarely exceeds 200-300 thousand km. The smallest cars belonging to the compact class A are equipped with such motors.

Engines with a volume of 1.2 - 1.6 liters are already more suitable for life. They are installed on small B-class (where they belong) and even on middle-class C cars (for which these motors are still rather weak).

Engines of this volume produce a maximum power of up to 100 l/s and even more , but at the same time maintain a very modest fuel consumption, in the range of 6-10 l. per hundred kilometers.

On engines with a volume of 1.8 - 2.5 liters. consumption will be higher: from 10 to 15 l/100 km, but you can always enjoy both acceleration from a traffic light in the city and safe overtaking on a country road. Class-D cars are equipped with such engines and they produce decent torque, and their power at maximum speed reaches about 120-220 l/s .

With an engine of this size, on long climbs, you won’t have to increase the gas or downshift; the engine won’t even notice the increase in load. Such engines are even installed on SUVs, but for heavy SUVs and crossovers such a motor is still not enough and it is better to choose an engine with a volume of 3 liters or more.

Volumes from 3 to 4.5 liters are capable of producing very impressive power and torque. business class E and executive F-class cars .

With such an atbun under the hood, you feel confident in an SUV, and passenger cars will have more than enough power in any situation. On these engines, the norm is a consumption in the range of 15-20 liters per 100 km .

Engines with a volume of over 5 liters are installed on the most expensive cars. Fuel consumption on such units is very, very high, and in general they are expensive for their owners, but they also produce the highest power.

An engine of this size gives its owner a huge advantage over other road users, so wealthy people will always choose such cars, despite the high costs.

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.

What engine size should I choose?

So, dear readers, let's summarize. It is clear that it is better to take a car with a large engine, but large engines also have their disadvantages. Let's list the advantages and disadvantages of large displacement engines.

Advantages of large displacement engines:

large torque, powerful acceleration when accelerating
greater power, and as a result greater maximum speed
durability as the engine is always underloaded
quick engine warm-up

Disadvantages of large engines:

high fuel consumption
high transport tax
high cost of MTPL

Typically, for each model you can choose an engine from several options:

Lowest power – most economical
Average in all respects
The most powerful and voracious

I recommend that you, dear readers, avoid the weakest engines and give preference to medium or more powerful engines from the offered range. When purchased, such a motor will cost more, but the additional horses will definitely come in handy, and you will be grateful for this advice.

I hope, dear readers, now you know how to choose engine size .

Selecting the engine configuration

Engine configuration parameters include the following characteristics:

Number of cylinders
Cylinder arrangement (in-line, V-shaped, opposed)
Motor location (longitudinal, transverse)

I’ll say right away that the number of cylinders can be any, it only affects the volume , and the options for the arrangement of the cylinders and the position of the engine under the hood are needed solely to fit the power plant inside the engine compartment of the car.

In the course of long experiments throughout the 20th century, automobile designers identified the most optimal configurations, and now in the production of engines, car manufacturers use only these - the most successful configurations. Each layout has its own minor pros and cons , which we will talk about now.

Number of cylinders

This indicator is directly related to engine power , because each cylinder is an additional volume . Modern “atmospheric” engines with a power of 100 hp. Usually they are 4-cylinder, 200 hp engines. - these are 4.5 or 6 cylinders, and engines with a power of 300 hp. – usually have 8 cylinders. Increasing the number of cylinders is a measure to increase engine volume in order to increase power. The more cylinders, the more powerful the engine .

Cylinder arrangement

There may be many options here, but in reality only the three most optimal schemes are used.

In-line - when the cylinders are arranged in one row one after another
V-shaped - when two rows of cylinders are located at an angle to each other. The cylinder camber angle is usually 45, 60 or 90°
Opposed - when two rows of cylinders are located opposite each other, that is, at an angle of 180°

The simplest cylinder arrangement is in-line , when all the cylinders are located in one row, directly above the crankshaft. Such engines are simple and cheap both to manufacture and to maintain, which is why the “in-line four” is the most common design.

However, when the number of cylinders is 6 or more, the in-line engine becomes too long and then it becomes difficult for designers to squeeze such an elongated engine under the hood of even a large car. To reduce the length of the engine, schemes are used when the cylinders are arranged in two rows , at an angle to each other.

V-shaped engines are more technologically advanced than in-line engines , they are more difficult to manufacture and maintain, and therefore more expensive , keep this in mind. But boxer cars are even more complex and expensive , which is why only two automakers use them in the world: the Japanese company Subaru and the German Porsche . Opposite engines can be called exotic; not every service center will undertake the repair of these engines, and some operations that are simple for an in-line engine are quite labor-intensive when working with a boxer engine.

V-shapes are simply ideal from a layout point of view: the width is only twice that of an in-line one, and the length is almost half that . That is why almost all automobile companies use this scheme to produce powerful engines. But V-shapes also have a drawback, which is unlikely to be completely overcome - increased vibrations .

Opposite engines have a very low overall height, which allows you to place the engine literally at the bottom of the engine compartment. This arrangement of masses lowers the vehicle's center of gravity , which has a positive effect on its handling. Also, boxer engines are very well balanced, which is reflected in reduced vibration levels .

How to change the stove on a VAZ 2114 without removing the panel video

If you drive a VAZ-2106, you know that this car's original engine has relatively little power. In addition, such engines are short-lived. Therefore, many owners of these cars at some point in time decide or are faced with the need to change the engine. What engine can be installed on the VAZ-2106? Theoretically, any engine that fits under the hood is suitable for such a car. Since there is quite a bit of space under the hood of this car model, the engine must be chosen from similar small cars.

When installing a new unit, you will not only have to redo the brackets and perform a number of other procedures, but also go through the car registration procedure again. When replacing engines, you will need to re-register the car with the traffic police. This need is due to the fact that there is a license plate on the engine block, which must be registered in the vehicle’s registration certificate.

Craftsmen often install engines from cars such as:

When choosing, it is worth considering the permissible power of the unit. It should not be too powerful, otherwise there is a risk of destroying the brake system and breaking the bridge. Also in this case, the car’s suspension may not be able to cope with the heavy load.

It is better to buy the engine straight from the gearbox. So all you have to do is adjust the cardan and connect the gearbox to the axle.

Motor location

There are only two options here: longitudinal and transverse engine arrangement, but this characteristic for you and me, dear readers, has no meaning at all. The only reason why designers change the position of the engine is to fit the engine under the hood.

The longitudinal arrangement of the engine is used on rear-wheel drive cars and cars with permanent all-wheel drive .
Transverse - usually used on front-wheel drive , as well as on cars with all-wheel drive , when the rear wheels are connected using a clutch.

There is an opinion that the longitudinal arrangement of the engine allows for a lower level of vibration, but on modern cars this difference is very insignificant.

Which engine configuration should you choose?

So, dear friends, let's summarize how to choose the number of cylinders and their location .

You don’t have to pay much attention to the number of cylinders based on power and volume , and the number of cylinders will correspond to them.
If you need an engine that is simple, reliable and cheap , both to purchase and to maintain, then try to buy a car with a conventional in-line engine . It can be either 2, 3 or 4 cylinder, but in-line engines with 5 or more cylinders are now installed only on expensive car models.
You'll have to choose a V-shape But keep in mind that a V-shaped engine will cost more than an in-line engine to purchase, and it will also be expensive to maintain.
Boxer engines are suitable if, first of all, a low center of gravity and controllability are important to you, and the high cost of maintenance does not bother you too much.

What engine can be installed on a VAZ-2106 car

Craftsmen often install engines from cars such as:

It is better to buy the engine straight from the gearbox. So all you have to do is adjust the cardan and connect the gearbox to the axle.

Number of valves per cylinder

Initially, all engines were equipped with two valves per cylinder: one intake and one exhaust. Such motors are simpler to design, but less efficient; one might say they are a thing of the past. Modern engines are usually equipped with four (and sometimes five) valves per cylinder, which makes it possible to fill the cylinder with the combustible mixture and remove combustion products much faster. As a result, power and torque increase , and fuel consumption decreases , so when choosing an engine, pay attention to how many valves it has per cylinder .

Chain or belt?

Here, dear readers, is another important feature that it is very advisable to take into account when choosing the engine of your future car. The fact is that each internal combustion engine includes a timing mechanism - a gas distribution mechanism, which must rotate strictly synchronously with the crankshaft. The transmission of rotation from the crankshaft to the camshafts can be done either by a belt or a chain , let's look at the pros and cons of each option.

Belt

The advantage of the belt is that replacing it is a routine operation and is inexpensive , but the main disadvantage of the belt drive is the fact that the belt is not made of iron and may well break . Most modern engines in the event of such a break suffer serious damage and the car owner ends up with very expensive repairs. Therefore, an engine with a timing belt drive must be monitored, periodically checking the belt tension, and maintenance simply must be carried out strictly according to schedule.

Chain

In contrast to the belt drive, the chain is a much more reliable element of the engine, which is understandable, because it is still made of steel. A chain, like a belt, needs to be replaced, but much less often than a belt, and before it breaks, it first makes noise for a long time, which is why its break is not sudden. On the other hand, replacing a chain costs the owner much more than replacing a belt, and it is quite difficult to do it yourself.

The longevity of a timing belt greatly depends on the quality of its installation. A heavily overtightened or undertightened belt will break very quickly, but the chain will first stretch and begin to rumble, hinting that it is time to replace it.

In general, the conclusions are:

If you know how to take care of the car yourself and plan to drive it for quite a long time (more than 150 thousand km), then timing belt will be more suitable for you
If you don’t want to check the belt tension or don’t intend to drive this car for more than 150 thousand km, then it’s better for you to choose a motor equipped with a timing chain. In this case, such an important maintenance item as replacing the timing drive will not exist for you at all.

When choosing a car model, studying its engines, pay attention to what timing drive they are equipped with.

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 several popular solutions that are most often found among those who decide to change the engine on their VAZ 2109.

Gas is a cheaper alternative to gasoline, which will allow you to save big in the future at gas stations. This replacement is called the easiest. 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 specialists with appropriate qualifications and permits.

A good alternative that will allow you to extract more power from your improved car. The injector is more powerful, it requires less fuel, and provides better dynamics. But in practice, changing engines from VAZ to VAZ is not the best solution, since there are many options among more reliable, powerful imported cars

Not bad domestic options that will easily fit into the space for the engine of your nine. Good output, excellent opportunity to transfer not only the engine, but also the gearbox itself

Here we are talking about 1.5-liter engines with a capacity of 92 horsepower of the 1991-1995 model. Injection engines of that generation perfectly fit the dimensions of the engine compartment of the VAZ 2109 and have good technical characteristics. A kind of improved variation of the previous version

Vectra engines of 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 liters have proven themselves well. The engines, although old, are playful, quite powerful, and relatively economical. Their main advantage is their affordable price with good build quality. If you find a decent German engine of any of the presented volumes, your VAZ 2109 will perform significantly better compared to the factory engine

1.5-liter injection engines with a power of up to 100 horsepower are to the taste of many. Good dynamics, good assembly, pleasant economy. Finding such a motor is not very easy, but there shouldn’t be any big problems either.

An attractive replacement option that allows you to get a high-spirited, interesting, reliable Korean engine. The only important nuance is that the box from the nine does not match the features of the engine from the Korean, so you will have to change everything together

Excellent reliability, amazing engine life, despite their age. You won’t be able to install engines from the latest versions of these German cars, because then you’ll have to redo literally everything. But engines from the 90s will take your VAZ 2109 on board very well

Another example of the excellent German quality of the engine that can be installed on the nine. In many ways it is similar to engines from Volkswagen and Opel in terms of characteristics, dynamics, and efficiency. It’s not difficult to find, but try to choose a motor with minimal mileage. This way you will ensure a long and carefree life for your car.

You should choose engines up to 2.0 liters. The best option is a 1.6-liter engine with 16 valves and a power of 90 horsepower. You will find such engines on the Doblo model. There are quite a lot of them at car wrecking yards, so there shouldn’t be any problems finding them.

Replacing a motor is a complex operation that requires the participation of an experienced specialist. It is strongly not recommended to change the engine yourself in a garage environment.

Underwater rocks

There are several important, interesting and simply useful factors that must be taken into account when making a decision regarding replacing the engine on a VAZ 2109.

If you approach the issue from a practical point of view and take into account the ideal compatibility of parts, then your best solution will be to install an alternative engine. But often replacement is carried out in order to increase productivity and increase engine power. In this case, you have to look for alternatives among the VAZ, Lada or imported cars.
When replacing an engine from a 9 with a newer engine from the same model, you will not be able to install
air conditioning. No, it is quite possible to carry out the installation, only then the power of the already not very playful standard engine will noticeably drop. In addition to the loss of power, you will have to change the generator to a more powerful one, since the factory generator will also not be able to handle the climate control equipment.
The VAZ 2112 engine is good because it fits perfectly with the standard gearbox from the VAZ 2109. The same can be said about the Priora.
When increasing engine power, you will need to modify the brake system. Otherwise, the braking distance will increase significantly, and you will not be able to stop the car in a timely manner. So a mandatory step is to replace standard discs and pads with more durable ones. If possible, replace the rear drum brakes with disc brakes.
You will have to make changes to the cooling system. The radiator must be changed to one that matches the characteristics of the new power unit. If its power is higher than that of a “nine” engine, the parameters of a standard radiator will probably not be enough.
Documentation. Not long ago, the country passed a law that abolished the need for an engine number during registration. That is, from now on, the engine is just a spare part, which is equated to the same generator, air filter or wheel, for example. Due to this, the demand for replacement engines has increased significantly. But you must have documents for the motor. When buying an engine secondhand, make sure that the owner has papers confirming ownership.
Origin. The lack of papers makes the motor quite potentially dangerous for you, since its origin is unknown. It is not uncommon to find engines that were removed from stolen cars.
Contract motors. The most optimal option from the point of view of your safety is purchasing a new engine. Contract engines are provided by specialized companies, where in addition to the unit itself, they provide you with a guarantee and all the necessary documents.
Re-registration. Decide for yourself whether you will register the converted car with the traffic police. Experts advise contacting the appropriate authority so that you can get a new motor. This way you can avoid many problems and misunderstandings on the roads when an inspector stops you.

Choosing a motor is a responsible procedure, so resolve the issue together with experienced specialists, check the condition of the proposed engine and be sure to study its origin.

The best options for installing an alternative engine from foreign cars

Now that the prelude is over, we can consider in more detail the question of which engines are suitable for the VAZ-2114. Of course, first of all, let's discard SUVs and sports cars. Secondly, when choosing the ideal alternative, it is necessary to understand the design features of the car, as well as the needs.

So, after doing some research, looking at photos on the Internet and talking with those who have already done modifications, we can come to the conclusion that it is best to tune the original power unit. This option is both cheaper and simpler than re-equipping the car.

But for those who still decided to install an alternative power unit, a selection of engines with the most ideal parameters was assembled:

AUDI-80.
Alfa Romeo
BYD F3.
Chery Amulet.
Chevrolet Aveo.
Daewoo Lanos.
Fiat Bravo.
Ford Focus.
Geely CK2, MK1.
Honda Civic.
Hyundai Accent.
Mazda 323, 626.
Opel Astra, Corsa, Kadett, Vectra B.
Peugeot 205, 405.
Renault Logan
Seat Ibiza.
Toyota Supra.
Volkswagen Golf, Jetta.

Perhaps this is the entire list, which will require a minimum number of design changes. All other options are considered on an individual basis.

Let's summarize: which engine to choose?

That's all, dear readers. Now you just have to decide for yourself which engine is best for you:

diesel or petrol?
“turbocharged” or “aspirated”?
what volume, how many cylinders and how are they located?
2 or 4 valves per cylinder?
Timing chain or belt?

These parameters are enough to select the optimal ratio of power, torque, fuel consumption and reliability , and also compare all this with your budget for purchasing a car. But the main thing you should rely on when choosing the engine of your future car is reviews about it from more experienced car enthusiasts. When choosing a make and model of a car, try to study as many reviews as possible about different engine options and remember: after all, the main characteristic of a motor is its reliability .

Dear readers! I wish you to choose the optimal combination of all parameters and may the heart of your car be true to you in any situation!
