VAZ 2114 tuning - engine, interior, body kit

Ideas for tuning VAZ 2114

To create a powerful, lifted SUV capable of overcoming any obstacles, it was necessary to assemble different parts from different cars. They took the body from the “fourteenth”, the gearbox from UAZ, the engine and axles from GAZ, and the super-large wheels from KRAZ. The SUV was given a modern style with the help of wings, a guardrail and other bells and whistles. The result was an extraordinary model, indispensable in places with large snow drifts and bad roads.

Tuning a VAZ 2114 with your own hands allows you to bring the domestic model to the level of a real foreign car. This topic will be especially relevant for those who, due to life circumstances, were forced to switch from a Mercedes or Audi to a mechanized Lada. The master did chip tuning of the engine, installed a new exhaust system, a subwoofer and an amplifier for four channels, provided sufficient sound insulation, transformed the standard interior into leather, and darkened the windows. The result is a good “foreign car” that can satisfy the needs of every car enthusiast.

Tuning VAZ interior

The interior of the VAZ-2114 can also be improved. As a rule, it is dealt with last, which does not mean that the work is of little importance. First of all, you should take care of installing a high-quality speaker system. You can purchase any equipment that suits your financial capabilities.

When tuning the interior of a VAZ-2114 with your own hands, this means, of course, altering the seats.

Some people install sports seats instead of standard ones, which make it easier to hold on when cornering. Please note that this is a very expensive pleasure. When tuning the interior of a VAZ-2114 is carried out, the trim also changes (tightens). A more affordable scheme is based on fabric and leatherette. If funds are available, you can also order genuine leather.

Tuning the 2114 interior can, however, be relatively inexpensive if you use vinyl leather. If necessary, this procedure can even be done independently and without unnecessary problems.

When tuning a 2114 with your own hands, the process, of course, also affects the doors. You can make them more decent and perfect if you use the same vinyl artificial leather. Try to choose a material that matches the color of the visors. Remember that the door trim is supported on a thin base and it will not be possible to secure the material with furniture staples.

Tuning the 2114 interior may include some other types of work. For example, not everyone is satisfied with the power of standard light sources inside the car. It is best to replace them with lampshades produced by AvtoVAZ - this, judging by the reviews of motorists, is a very solid and convenient solution to the problem. With enough diligence, achieving an excellent interior is quite possible. Even very small things, such as floor mats, regulators, lighting of individual elements, can make your car much more elegant and presentable.

Tuning the interior of the 2114 opens up broad prospects for car owners and, with minimal aesthetic taste, is done easily and naturally.

Tuning the body of the VAZ 2114

It is quite possible to turn the “fourteenth” into a “hatchback”, however, in this case, a complete modernization of the engine, as well as the brakes and suspension, will be required. To transform the VAZ into a powerful hatchback, the block was bored with grinding of the bottom plate, pistons, connecting rods, and rings were replaced. The pan was reinforced, a cermet clutch and new injectors were installed. External tuning of the car consisted of installing powerful wheels and tires, changing suspensions - mirror elements for racing cars and optical components for headlights. The hood mount was also replaced. A lot of work was spent - but it's worth it.

Chassis tuning

Let's look under the car. The first thing you should pay special attention to is the racks. A set of DEMFI hydraulic gas-filled struts assembled for a VAZ 2108-14 with lowering is ideal. What's really special here? Shock absorbers of the DEMFI series are designed to lower the car by 30 mm or 50 mm, depending on your desire. This lowering ensures the best handling of the car, excellent quality will allow the chassis to last for many years, and the level of rigidity, which is higher than that of factory analogues, will ensure reliable grip of the wheels on the road. Let's move on. Instead of standard levers, you can install high-strength lightweight triangular levers with increased strength with polyurethane bushings for VAZ 2108-2170. Such levers greatly improve the handling of the car and, during operation, reduce the drift of suspension angles, and also help to increase the size of the front part of the body. Moving deeper into the chassis, you can install a subframe with protection and levers VAZ 2108 AUTOPRODUCT, which provides greater protection. Power steering will help increase vehicle safety and improve its handling. Noticeable efficiency of the car's braking system when driving will be provided by Luсas R13 rear disc brakes with ABS and Alnas Sport front brake discs. They especially help out during sudden extreme braking.

Deep tuning of the “fourteenth”

Deep tuning of the “fourteenth” model allows you to create a spectacular racing, almost rally car that easily leaves behind a BMW. Large wheels on new alloy wheels, for which the ground clearance was increased, a powerful front bumper with innovative air intakes, and an engine from Opel made it possible to increase the dynamic characteristics of the domestic car many times and present an excellent example for fans of fast driving.

An incredibly luxurious car was made from a VAZ 2114, where the interior was tuned and some main devices were replaced. The engine was equipped with a turbocharger, forged pistons, camshafts and a lightweight version of imported valves. The trunk is occupied by a huge subwoofer, the interior is lined with leather material. The wheels were replaced with alloy wheels from a German manufacturer, and the bumper and moldings were changed. Such harmonious tuning as a whole made it possible to create a completely new car model, which, although it retained its original appearance, at the same time acquired improved characteristics and a modern design style.

Top 10 interesting facts about VAZ 2114

The Fourteenth became a landmark model for AvtoVAZ. Despite the obviously outdated design, the car had many positive aspects. It still attracts the attention of domestic motorists today. Therefore, it’s a good idea to remember not only in what year production of the VAZ 2114 ceased, but also what interesting features it had. Here are the top 10 facts about this car.

1. This car is a restyled version of the VAZ 2109. During the transformation, it received a more modern design and some technical innovations. Also, over time, the car began to be equipped with relatively powerful engines. There were other improvements as well. But at the same time, the VAZ 2114 remained a modified Soviet “nine”.
2. The “Four” was equipped with three types of engines of different power. The first engine had a volume of 1.5 liters and a power of only 77 horsepower. The second is 1.6 l and 82 hp. 16-valve 1.6-liter engines can produce 89 or 98 horsepower.
3. Throughout its history, the car was equipped only with a manual transmission with five gears. It was never equipped with an automatic, robot or CVT, despite the fact that there were Kalinas with automatic transmission.
4. The car did not have power steering in any modification. The Lada Kalina, which appeared in 2007, acquired this option. But the “fourteenth” never received it.
5. The car has never been equipped with air conditioning. Despite the fact that for some time it was produced in parallel with Kalina, which had an air conditioning system, the VAZ2114 never acquired it.
6. The car has a very weak body. The metal is thin, bends a lot and breaks in an accident, and is subject to active corrosion.
7. Acceleration to 100 km/h averages 13 seconds, with some nuances depending on the configuration.
8. The car was produced in three main versions: Standard, Lux and Super Auto.
9. The VAZ 2114 was not equipped with airbags, ABS and other similar systems, unlike, for example, Lada Kalina or Priora.

“Fourteenth” is still a favorite car among many Russians. It is often bought on the secondary market by both young people and mature car enthusiasts. The machine is incredibly simple, cheap to maintain, unpretentious, fast, maneuverable and relatively reliable.

Tuning VAZ 2114 for drifter

Another outstanding option for fans of drifting, capable of turning a front-wheel drive Lada into a rear-wheel drive car that can easily fit into any turn at maximum speed. Such a car is not suitable for ordinary civilian driving, but will be appreciated by fans of high-speed drifting. For tuning, the engine and rear-wheel drive from a BMW were taken, and the engine was turbocharged. Thanks to such transformations, the power of the weak engine was increased to two hundred and fifty liters, which is quite enough to be able to drive sideways.

Designer tuning VAZ 2114

Designer tuning also allows you to completely change the appearance of an ordinary Lada. Thanks to skill and hard work, she acquired a perfect appearance, as if she had just stepped off the cover of a car magazine. Here, front springs from Niva were installed, new wheels and tires were installed, the exhaust system was modified and the engine lift was lowered with the arched edges being rolled out. Designer body kits, tuning of VAZ 2114 headlights with orange lighting, license plate illumination and metallic car painting completed the image of a clean luxury car.

On the basis of the domestic fourteenth Lada, full-fledged cars are created that are capable of participating in the most fierce drag racing competitions. The absence of headlights, an open radiator, and an unusual hood clearly indicate the sporty style of the car. In order for the front-wheel drive car to corner steadily, wide wheels with arch flares were installed in front. There are no unnecessary bells and whistles on the body, which ensures the aerodynamics of the car. The glass on the sides is not equipped with windows; it is made of plexiglass. So that the dragster can stop in time, a brake parachute is installed. The car is completely different from the original, which makes it individual and original in its own way.

Dashboard of VAZ 2114 Lux

There is an immobilizer and electric door locking. Also, the VAZ 2114 Lux has rear head restraints, which the standard version does not have.

The design of the dashboard was developed specifically for the VAZ-2114. Despite the fact that the instrument cluster was borrowed from the fifteenth model, the characteristic appearance of the panel is a distinctive feature of the “fourteenth”, and was included in the VAZ-2115 package later.

From the point of view of design and comfort, the 2114 Lux modification also differs for the better from the basic one. The interior is upholstered in faux leather with velor inserts (artificial velvet), and is illuminated by a lampshade with adjustable brightness. The brightness of the instrument lighting can also be adjusted.

Ashtrays have been added for rear seat passengers (standard for front seats only).

Tuning VAZ 2114 for the holiday

And for Victory Day, craftsmen made a fake tank from an ordinary Lada “14th model”. Of course, such a car evokes a storm of positive emotions and a sea of ​​delight from passers-by! The vehicle is painted dark green, has a dummy gun installed on the front windshield, and tracks characteristic of the tank are painted on the sides. An invariable attribute of Victory - the St. George ribbon is laid along the hood. All that remains is to attach the Russian and Victory flags to the side windows so that the fake tank can please the public on this great holiday. To make it even more convincing, the car owners wore tank helmets. Here, the transformation did not even require expensive tuning of the VAZ 2114 interior or replacement of the main parts of the car. Simple and tasteful!

Tuning the hood of VAZ 2111—2114 cars

As an improvement in this group of cars, we can recommend the same “Bad Boy” that was described in the previous section.

It is also very popular to install a decorative air intake grille, which gives the car a stylish and modern appearance.

The car looks modern

Some owners make the hood matte. To do this, it can be covered with vinyl film. The process is quite simple:

• wash and dry the hood;
• We try on the film without removing the backing. We make markings on the machine and cut the film;
• spray it with a soapy water solution from a spray bottle;
• remove the backing from the matte vinyl film and apply it to the surface;
• Using a spatula, we expel air and moisture from under the film, drying it with a hair dryer. In places of bends, we heat the film more strongly, making sure that it completely follows the geometry of the surface;
• We cut off the excess with a knife, treat the bends and edges with sealant.
