Do-it-yourself VAZ 2113 tuning: modernization of the interior and engine, modification options to improve the technical characteristics and appearance of the car zil-avto.ru

Many car enthusiasts prefer to upgrade their own car with their own hands. In principle, if you have the appropriate information, as well as the right tool, this is a completely feasible task for everyone. Let's look at a specific example - VAZ-2110. Improvements to various components and elements of the car will be discussed further. But first, a little about general concepts and definitions.

Tuning VAZ 2113 – with your own hands!

The fresh wind of tuning blows through not only caring car owners.
The design engineers of the popular G8 put a lot of effort into improving the car. Over the years since the release of the VAZ 2108, car manufacturers have found dozens of weak points in the suspension, steering and other critical components of the car. Having eliminated the shortcomings, the Togliatti residents made changes to the appearance of the car, which vaguely resembled a chisel. Does this mean that the restyled model of the G8, VAZ 2113

, does not need any modifications? Nothing happened! Moreover, today there are no problems with choosing and purchasing upgraded parts for a given car. There is no shortage of people who want to realize the full potential of the popular small car - and even beyond.

Where to begin?

From reading useful materials, realizing your own goals, understanding opportunities, evaluating means. We are ready to help with reading: on the page https://catalog.autodela.ru/article/view/2846 you will find a lot of interesting ideas for tuning a three-door hatchback. A lot of important information has been collected on the page https://www.autodela.ru/main/top/diy/tuning_vaz_2109. Current aspects of tuning Togliatti-made cars are disclosed in the article https://www.autodela.ru/main/top/diy/tuning-vaz-21099.

We are ready to provide you with every opportunity to realize your creative potential and acquire practical tuning skills! However, a lot depends on your personal determination. Are you afraid to take on large-scale renovations? Start small!

Technical tuning of VAZ 2113: useful little things

To improve the convenience of driving, install a short-throw rocker. It will reduce the amplitude of the gearshift lever travel by half and increase the clarity of gear shifting. After this modification, you will no longer have to “catch” the desired gear, losing precious seconds at the start from a traffic light.

VAZ 2113 suspension tuning

includes the installation of steel brace brackets, popularly called “crabs.”

They will adequately replace standard parts made of brittle aluminum alloy and unable to withstand even minimal collisions with obstacles. If, however, you plan to install a cross-shaped subframe on the car (see below), do not worry about replacing the brackets: with a rigid subframe, they are one piece.

This is what the “original” aluminum bracket looks like after hitting a curb

In addition to increasing suspension strength, installing new crabs increases caster ( angle

tilt of the steering wheel in the direction of rotation). This measure helps to reduce the turning radius, resulting in increased control efficiency and directional stability of the vehicle. The completed improvement will allow you to confidently move along deep ruts and easily overcome areas with a significant lateral slope of the roadway.

A rattling steering rack and a “walking” steering column housing are old sores of the G8, inherited by the thirteenth model. Technical tuning
of the VAZ 2113
will eliminate annoying rattling.

To correct the position, you need to install a power steering rack, which increases the rigidity of the front panel of the car. Measurements have shown that after the improvement, the amplitude of movement of the steering rack housing is reduced by half in the longitudinal direction and four times in the transverse direction.

Negative camber plates for the rear wheels are another useful option for improving the handling of the VAZ 2113 on sharp turns. An angle of one (maximum one and a half) degrees between the planes of the spacers is optimal. A larger angle results in hub misalignment.

Installing plates between the beam and the hub increases the rear wheel track by 14 mm, which has a positive effect on the vehicle’s stability during roll. The fears of some car owners that such an operation would lead to increased tire wear were irrevocably dispelled by full-scale tests.

The next stage of tuning the VAZ 2113 suspension

– Installation of front strut braces. Made from resilient, hardened steel, the new parts reduce the likelihood of front suspension strut mounting points moving under extreme loads. Tuning braces reduce dynamic deformations of the body during shock absorber breakdown and minimize contact stresses in the area where the strut is attached to the body. As a result of installing stretch marks, we get a noticeable improvement in handling.

Body strength is the concern of the car owner

The designers took a lot of care about the strength of the car, providing it with a fairly rigid three-door body. However, it is common for any metal to age, deform, and lose resistance to stress. Helping the body maintain its shape is within our power!

Tuning the body of the VAZ 2113

cannot be considered complete if a cross-shaped subframe is not installed on the car. Its installation is very simple, in a regular garage without the use of special tools.

Integrated into the load-bearing structure of the body, the subframe increases the spatial rigidity of the car body and increases the durability of the suspension components. At high speeds, during sharp or long turns, a car with a subframe responds better to steering wheel movements.

Taking a look at the engine cooling system pipes that are cracked and begging to be thrown out, a good owner will find an excellent replacement for them in the form of silicone pipes.

Reinforced with double-layer polyester fiber, the silicone tubes are impermeable to coolant and resistant to extreme heat. Easy do-it -yourself engine compartment tuning of VAZ 2113

– and you are forever freed from antifreeze leaks and emergency ruptures of the cooling line!

Let's leave alone those who are used to crawling under the car, regularly patching a burnt-out exhaust system. We will do things differently by purchasing and installing a stainless steel exhaust kit on our VAZ 2113.

As a result, we get an “eternal” muffler with a diameter of 125 mm, a resonator, pipes, a “spider” and polished exhaust tips. Three hundred dollars for a quietly purring engine is not too high a price to pay for comfort!

Body tuning ideas for VAZ 2113

Body tuning VAZ 2113

carried out in two ways: alteration or replacement of standard body parts; installation of aerodynamic body kits. How much can you achieve by realizing your own vision of beauty? Without a doubt, a lot!

Here is a car, the aesthetic expressiveness of which is densely mixed with a swift silhouette, speed-slicked contours, aggressive “squinting” of headlights, and windshield wipers positioned vertically, rally style, at the ready.

Another example. Bold engineering solutions are complemented by a contrasting combination of soft paint colors and eye-catching lighting design of the car.

The harmonious combination of voluminous body kits and the unusual color of the car’s coating creates respectful interest in the observer. Openwork rims also play a significant role in the positive perception of the model.

The color of the night tropical sea; a glow worthy of a government limousine; the appropriateness of laconic body kits; the deliberate volume of the aerodynamic elements of the body - all this together turned an ordinary small car into an unforgettable work of applied art.

Homemade body tuning VAZ 2113 –

a great way to improve the external characteristics of a car, a most exciting activity for a motorist, a role model for the official manufacturers of the brand.

Styling of the VAZ classic: external and internal modifications

Many owners of “classic” VAZ models want to make the car unique, and the interior more comfortable and bright, while some simply consider the appearance of their cars unfinished. Both of them resort to visual tuning, sometimes without affecting the technical part. Let's look at the most popular ways to improve the appearance and interior of a Zhiguli.

Tuning the front optics of the Zhiguli

The front lighting of a car is often associated with the eyes of the car. Headlights are often the defining element of design, so it is not surprising that most often car enthusiasts first of all take on tuning optics. Depending on the model, tuning tasks and the amount of money that the owner is willing to spend on modifying his car, we can roughly distinguish three types of headlight improvements. Let's consider them in order from the most budgetary to the most complex and costly.

Changing the shape of head lighting equipment by installing overlays

This method of tuning headlights is most often used by owners of VAZ-2104, 2105 and 2107 cars. Their rectangular lighting technology with a smooth surface of the lampshade allows you to easily install overlays of almost any shape. Front light tuning kits are sold at most domestic auto parts stores. Often, motorists make attachments themselves, because this requires only thick plastic, a sharp saw and sandpaper or a file.

The attachments are usually attached using glue directly to the headlight dome. When using screws, the attachment must be installed on the car body to prevent water from entering the headlight, so this method is used less frequently.

You should carefully consider the choice of glue. It must be heat-resistant, since the headlights can heat up to high temperatures when used for a long time.

Installing angel eyes on a Zhiguli

The so-called angel eyes are a more complex version of tuning the “classic” headlights. Most often, such modifications are made on VAZ-2106 and 2103 models, since on these cars the LED strip can also be attached to the outside of the headlights. However, this modification is found quite often on other products of the “classic” line. To install angel eyes on a “four”, “five” or “seven”, you need to drill a reflector inside the lampshade and install diodes in each hole. In addition, a box for a block of diodes and resistors is placed on the rear side.

Tuning VAZ 2113

In 2005, the Lada family of cars was replenished with the new VAZ-2113 model. Manufacturers gave the car a modest look and spartan equipment.

The car has its fans due to its affordable price. And the unpresentable appearance makes it possible to refine it - tuning. In this regard, the “thirteenth” model has perhaps the greatest potential.

VAZ gearbox tuning

VAZ 2109 gearbox bulkhead

For faster acceleration, Lada tuning involves a significant time-consuming alteration. The main work is the rearrangement of the main pairs: the third and fourth gears are installed instead of the first and second. Thus, the gearbox begins to work not for traction, but for acceleration. But to do this you need to remove and sort out the box. At the same time, some craftsmen created their own VAZ tuning studios. Some of these companies are specialized - on gearboxes or engines, and some are universal.

In the case of a gearbox, you can order this unit assembled, and after receiving it, simply install it in place of the standard gearbox.

Appearance tuning

Improvements in the form of a muffler attachment, new mudguards, and several body kit elements are a thing of the past. High-quality styling kits produced by many modern enterprises change the car beyond recognition.

Sets of two bumpers cost up to 4,500 rubles. But they do not freshen up the car as much as extended kits with a radiator grille and thresholds, the cost of which does not exceed 8 thousand rubles.

Chrome inserts for the bumper, eyelashes for the headlights, and rear spoiler increase the cost of styling kits. The price of some of them reaches 25 thousand rubles.

For a more impressive appearance, many car enthusiasts purchase a rear wing for 4,500 rubles. Additionally, they take a decorative hood made of plastic for 7,000 rubles. Air intakes are installed on the hood at a cost of approximately 1,500 rubles.

Body tuning

Most car owners begin to improve their car with the help of a body and make many mistakes. So, what is better not to do:

Take your time installing side sills, air intakes and spoilers. Such modernization is absolutely useless if any powerful components of the power unit were not installed before it.
Lowering the body is a fashionable trend that is often used when tuning cars. Cars with low ground clearance have good driving characteristics, but their speed characteristics are limited. In addition, the lower body is at risk, especially given the condition of our roads.

What can you do:

Install body parts. Bumpers and other platforms will change their shape.
Window tinting and body painting. Such events will give you the opportunity to significantly change the appearance of your car, and you can do them yourself.

Salon tuning

A pile of faceless plastic and meager basic equipment gave impetus to the imagination of garage craftsmen. Considerable experience has been accumulated over many years in updating the interior of the Lada thirteenth model:

The steering wheel is replaced with a new one in the “sport” style for 2000 rubles, or the braid is changed.

Standard seats without side and lumbar supports made of fragile material are replaced with anatomical “GT” class ones with heating. Such as in the photo cost about 15 thousand rubles.

Door panels are updated. New ones, covered with high-quality material with holes for an advanced audio system, will cost the car owner 3,600 rubles.
The standard instrument panel gives way to a digital multi-function device with bright displays. The driver can adjust the lights. The new dashboard, like an on-board computer, displays critical errors and diagnoses vehicle systems. The user can change the design themes. Price – 21 thousand rubles.
The interior is insulated. Insulation is placed along the bottom of the car, in the door surfaces, and on the inside of the hood. Purchased in specialized stores. The material also reduces noise levels.

Modernization of the engine and chassis

The tuning of the VAZ-2113 power unit is changed so that the engine becomes stronger and fuel consumption decreases. In this case, you should entrust the work only to professionals, since it requires certain skills and knowledge. The procedure is as follows:

Boring the block head.
Selecting the crankshaft.
Change the rings.
Connecting rods, bearings and fingers are adjusted.
The transmission is changed for the new unit.
If desired, change gears and adjust to your driving style.
Replace spark plugs.

The work is simplified when special tuning packages are purchased. They increase engine power by 30-35%. They are installed in car service centers. The cost of the tuning package starts from 40 thousand rubles. After modernization, the unit is configured.

Summarizing all of the above, it should be said that tuning is not a cheap pleasure. A thorough approach to rework requires certain investments. Comprehensive tuning will cost the car owner 160-300 thousand rubles. But the car will be visually transformed, become interesting and very noticeable on the roads.

Tuning for VAZ-2113: 3 ready-made styling kits, modifications to the interior, engine and transmission

VAZ 2113 is a car from the Samara-2 family. Produced throughout the first decade of the 21st century. Technically and ideologically it is the successor to the G8. In fact, this is its restyled version. Only the interior of the car and the front part underwent major modifications. Well, the injector replaced the outdated carburetor. At the time of its appearance, the “thirteenth” was one of the cheapest cars on the Russian market (in the early 2000s, a new “Lada” cost a little more than $4,000), which attracted the main audience of this car - young people. In terms of its running and dynamic parameters, the car was practically no different from the classic “chisel”, i.e. it was quite mediocre. It was then that such a phenomenon as tuning the VAZ-2113 arose: despite its budget and spartan equipment, the car had enormous potential for improving the appearance and main components.

The most interesting thing is that the experience of tuning the “trinashka” was of interest only to artisans and small studios with a few original projects. Automobile manufacturers did not realize the potential of the model and release “charged” versions, as was the case with the “ten”.

Refinement of appearance

VAZ-2113 is one of the cheapest cars on the secondary market. A vigorous specimen can easily be found for 100 - 120 thousand rubles; a car with decent speed - for 80 - 90 thousand. As before, the main audience for cars is young men aged 18-25 years without a family. Therefore, it is obvious why there are so many modified “Thirteen” cars on the roads. Moreover, the modifications are of rather low quality - the matter is limited to muffler tips, Sparko mud flaps and various body kit elements.

Nevertheless, there are several enterprises that produce and sell high-quality body kit components for this model. There are a lot of styling kits for sale, but most of them consist of only two bumpers and are priced around 4 - 4.5 thousand rubles.

Styling set “LEX”

As a positive example, we will describe a styling set. In addition to bumpers, it includes:

radiator screen;
thresholds;
eyelashes for headlights;
chrome inserts for bumpers (optional).

The cost of such an extended kit is about 8 thousand rubles.

Styling set “Robot”

If a balance between sporty style and restraint is important to you when customizing your appearance, pay attention to the styling kits of the “Robot” brand. They are characterized by a certain angularity, which gives the car rigor. The kit includes bumpers and side skirts. The average price in online stores is 10,000 rubles.

Styling set “APEX”

The most advanced in this segment is the fiberglass kit from. The set includes:

bumpers;
thresholds;
rear spoiler;
arch extensions.

The body kit looks very impressive, not at all like a collective farm.

But this is by no means a collective farm price - more than 25 thousand rubles.

For an additional fee, you can purchase such external tuning components as a rear wing (about 4,500 rubles), a plastic decorative hood (7,000 rubles), air intakes for the hood and roof (about 1,500 rubles each). In general, if you take a thorough approach to finalizing your appearance, then the “three-piece” can be visually refreshed very nicely.

Interior tuning

The interior of the Samara-2 family is not particularly hospitable: faceless explosive plastic, ergonomics at a primitive level, poor basic equipment. But all these problems can be solved, since this area of improvement has accumulated many interesting solutions over the past 10 years.

You can start with anything. For example, the steering wheel. The regular one is pathetic to the point of disgrace. The new version in the “sport” style will cost 2,000 rubles. One of the main ergonomic miscalculations is uncomfortable seats. The seats lack even a hint of lateral or lumbar support. In addition, the upholstery is made of easily soiled and fragile material.

The solution is to purchase and install anatomical chairs.

Their configuration is similar to those installed on GT class cars. They are trimmed with eco-leather, so they retain a presentable appearance for a long time. The driver will not get tired even after a long drive. True, anatomical seats are quite expensive for the average Lada owner - about 15,000 rubles apiece.

Advanced tuners may be interested in the option of a standard instrument panel to a digital one. In this case, we recommend paying attention to FLASH brand devices. These are fully digital multifunctional devices that are distinguished by their stylish design and bright visual display.

Also, an advanced device takes on some of the functions of the on-board computer: it can display messages about critical errors and carry out diagnostics of vehicle systems. The pleasure is not cheap: from 21,000 rubles.

Various small items are offered in abundance - armrests, seat vests, decorative overlays, steering wheel braids.

Styling VAZ

For many, upgrading and tuning a VAZ comes down to changing the appearance. It is correct to call such work “styling,” but the word “tuning” has taken root. The first steps along the path of such tuning are tinting. Moreover, it is better not to apply it to the glass of the front doors and the windshield - the rules prohibit it.

VAZ 2107 with “Angel Eyes”

At the same time, tuning VAZ cars involves experimenting with optics - almost any VAZ tuning site offers various options. With the help of such headlights you can give your car a BMW style, install “angel eyes”, “xenon” and so on. The only thing worth paying attention to is the availability of certificates and permission to use. Otherwise, there is a risk of receiving a fine and an order for elimination.

Installing new headlights does not take much time - all you need is a couple of screwdrivers and wrenches.

VAZ owners are also experimenting with various body kits. Standard measures include installation of door sill covers. The only thing is that they will have to be removed once a year and anti-corrosion treatment carried out under them. Otherwise, in a couple of years you can end up with rotten thresholds.

All kinds of body kits need to be treated very carefully - it is better to find a little more expensive, but with a guarantee of their aerodynamic properties. As a rule, such body kits are offered by VAZ tuning studios.

Tuning Lada cars is rarely found without such a detail as a spoiler. Moreover, on the tenth and fourteenth families, the spoiler is installed at the factory (and model). Some owners of such cars do not like the spoiler and remove it.

Tuning and fine-tuning of the internal combustion engine/transmission

The VAZ-2113 drives the way it looks, that is, rather mediocre, but the potential is enormous. Now the market offers many solutions for tuning the engine and gearbox. In the catalogs you can find the following advanced components to improve driving characteristics:

sports camshafts (from 6,000 rubles);
4-throttle intake systems (from 45,000 rubles);
components for preparing the installation of a turbine (from 5,000 rubles);
reinforced motor mounts (from 2,000 rubles);
lightweight valves (from 2,500 rubles).

Tuning VAZ 2113 – with your own hands!

The fresh wind of tuning blows through not only caring car owners. The design engineers of the popular G8 put a lot of effort into improving the car. Over the years since the release of the VAZ 2108, car manufacturers have found dozens of weak points in the suspension, steering and other critical components of the car.

Suspension tuning

There are a few things to consider here. Some drivers believe that retrofitting should begin with the choice of tires and wheels. This is irrational, because when adjusting the suspension, the brake discs are first replaced, since their new varieties can differ significantly from domestic ones in the location of the disc mount. In addition, it is advisable to install double anti-roll bars, which will make the ride smoother and the car more obedient. Replace the brackets at the same time as the stabilizer, as the original ones will quickly fall apart.

Pay special attention to the rear suspension of the “five”, as it is dependent. This option is now obsolete, to fix this you need to install an adjustable Panhard lift. The suspension tuning is completed by installing alloy wheels and tires.

Interior tuning is an opportunity to completely change the interior appearance of the car and add useful modifications. Many VAZ owners, judging by the passing cars, believe that tuning the interior should first of all distinguish the car owner. As a result, you can see “basins” hung with various elements both outside and inside. When planning interior modernization, it is worth remembering that tuning should be convenient and useful. Our article presents successful photos of VAZ 2113 tuning.

What is tuning

Tuning a car is the process of modifying it to improve performance or design. Conventionally, two areas of improvement can be distinguished:

Technical tuning is aimed at improving the driving characteristics of the car, such as power, aerodynamics, handling, dynamic performance, efficiency and safety. To improve these parameters, work is being done on the engine, suspension, gearbox, exhaust and brake systems and other components that affect the performance of the car.

Styling is carried out in order to change the appearance of the car and its interior, to make the car unique. Improvements in this area of tuning usually concern body panels, rims, lighting and interior parts.

Both of these approaches are used for VAZ models of the classic line, often combining them. Therefore, on the roads of our country you can find both fives, sevens and other models of the family modified beyond recognition, as well as super-powerful cars that are outwardly indistinguishable from their angular counterparts.

Features of tuning VAZ 2113

Tuning inside the 2113 should be aimed at increasing ergonomics and comfort. In VAZ cars these indicators have not been brought to perfection. You can start by installing a more comfortable driver's seat. Doing this with your own hands is problematic, but possible. Ergonomics can be significantly improved by removing the standard angular dashboard and installing a Europanel. Returning to comfort, it’s worth remembering those elements of the cabin with which you are constantly in contact - you need to deal with them first.

What immediately comes to mind is the steering wheel, which you almost never let go of. Tuning the interior of a VAZ 2113 in this case involves a simple replacement. You need to choose a new steering wheel that will be more convenient and enjoyable, and then install it yourself. This procedure can be done with your own hands, since every driver knows how to handle a wrench. Of course, the more expensive the steering wheel, the better it is. When buying a Chinese product, you need to understand that, most likely, in a couple of months the leather will completely leave the steering wheel - it will peel off and peel off. Therefore, it is better to spend money and buy a quality product, as an option - a sports steering wheel with original inserts.

Helpful advice: if you are completely satisfied with the standard steering wheel, then you can simply cover it with leather. This is an interesting and time-consuming process that requires basic sewing skills. With the help of strong nylon, high-quality leather and glue, you can make stylish upholstery. If desired, it can be painted.

Having arranged a comfortable place for yourself, you can start decorating the interior. There are a lot of options - this includes installing lighting on the dashboard, roof, windows, and covering the interior with leather (if it is not included in the package). Here you can turn on your imagination and make real art. If you often transport passengers, then you should think about installing heating for all seats in the car. In general, it all depends on your preferences.

Engine tuning

Going to any car forum, you can see many topics related to tuning. Today for the VAZ 2113 there are many options for increasing power and dynamics, but among them there are profitable and unprofitable ones. We want to talk about the most effective methods that have an adequate price-quality ratio.

When carrying out tuning, certain accessories will be required. Read about it here. How is chip tuning carried out? See this article.

It is worth understanding that all options have strengths and weaknesses:

Zero filter - the installation of this element is aimed at increasing the power of the power plant. The number of horses should increase by about 5%. But such tuning of the VAZ 2113 engine will be effective if the filter is installed in an area with the coldest air possible. If the zero filter is not cleaned, it can damage the power plant. If you want to buy this element and install it yourself, then you should understand that the price of the filter is decent - about $50-70.
Increased power due to modification of the cylinder head (cylinder head). Refinement involves aligning the holes in the cylinder head with the holes in the exhaust and intake manifolds, as well as polishing the channels in the cylinder head. Today this is the most affordable way, allowing you to get about 5-10% of power. But the work is long and labor-intensive. This can be explained by the fact that the cylinder head is made of metal. As a result, after factory casting, the surface of the cylinder head channels is far from smooth. It will take you about two days to get the cylinder head bores smooth. After this, the air passing through them will experience less resistance, which will ultimately affect the power characteristics of the power plant.
Turbine installation. One of the most popular methods of engine tuning. Some motorists prefer to assemble all the parts themselves, while others choose ready-made kits. You can find them both on the car market and in specialized online stores. Up to 140 horses can be removed from the injection VAZ 2113. The figure can be even higher, but then you need to install a turbine with a pressure exceeding 0.6 bar. The option is more expensive, since working with such pressure will require a reduction in the compression ratio.
Direct flow installation. If the engine is already equipped with turbocharging, then you can think about direct flow. A common mistake made by motorists is installing direct flow on a naturally aspirated car. Such an idea can easily be called a stupid waste of time and money. High-quality parts will cost about $1,000, and the power rating will increase by a maximum of 5%.

Helpful advice: you can increase the dynamics by increasing the volume. This is especially easy to do when a major engine overhaul is planned. For example, high-quality boring with connecting rods, crankshaft and pistons will increase the volume by several cubic meters.

The methods described above allow you to perform tuning of the VAZ 2113 yourself. But there are modern methods where you cannot cope on your own. We are talking about chip tuning - replacing the factory firmware of an electronic control unit (ECU or simply the brain) with converted or upgraded software (firmware). Specialized studios offer modifications to the ECU, since the factory firmware cannot be called ideal.

This applies to foreign cars and our VAZs. Sometimes chipping is a tuning, and sometimes it is a necessity. For example, you received a car with a defect: strange behavior at idle, dips, low speed. All these “diseases” can be corrected with chip tuning. Regardless of what you want to get after chipping, the result will depend on the competence of the craftsmen who will do the firmware.

After chip tuning, the firmware of the electronic control unit can change from 100 to 1000 settings that affect the operation of the VAZ 2113 power plant. Tuning has become widespread in Russia and the CIS countries, so today there are many firmware options on the market. In Russia, firmware from Paulus has gained great popularity. The team specializes in developing firmware for VAZ, although now there are options for foreign cars. There are representatives of Paulus in almost every city in Russia.

Having placed your VAZ 2113 in good hands, after chipping you may have the following results:

increasing the dynamics and acceleration of the VAZ 2113;
getting rid of all kinds of flaws and errors in the firmware installed at the factory;
increase in efficiency indicator;
increase in torque. For VAZ – from 7% to 15%.

After reading this section, you might think that chip tuning is ideal. Of course, there are also disadvantages. For example, if the firmware does not have any errors or bugs, then increasing one parameter will be done by decreasing another. The ratio depends on the quality of the software and the knowledge of the specialist. For example, if you want to reduce fuel consumption, then be prepared that the car may “sag” in dynamics.

Power unit

Refinement of the dozen would be meaningless without engine modernization. Professionals recommend starting with it. First you need to replace all worn parts and components.

You can also take care of increasing the engine displacement from 1500 to 1600 cubic centimeters.

Replacing the crankshaft

The main method of increasing engine power up to 1.6 liters is by optimizing the piston stroke from the factory 71 mm to 74.8 mm. This procedure is performed by replacing the crankshaft and the pistons themselves. There are different options for replacing pistons:

installation of forged pistons with dimensions of 82.0, 84.0, 82.5 or 82.4 mm - they can be T-shaped or regular;
installation of standard machined pistons;
installation of used pistons 21213 with mechanical modification, which involves replacing the connecting rods for a floating piston pin.

In addition to the popular 74.8mm stroke crankshaft, you can purchase the little-used 75.6mm stroke crankshaft, allowing displacement up to 1,862cc. All configurations fit into a standard block, but the torsional resistance of the motor may be reduced. For this reason, it is better to limit the engine volume to no more than 1.6 liters.

Camshaft replacement

Replacing this part allows you to increase engine power, increase overall technical characteristics and acceleration dynamics. In this case, one factor must be taken into account: replacing all camshaft elements with modernized or sports ones must be replaced as a set. That is, replacing one thing will not give any results.

To remove the camshaft, proceed as follows:

remove the plastic protection of the alternator belt;
open the cylinder head cover;
remove the timing belt, holding the camshaft with a mounting rod (to avoid damaging the cylinder head, you need to place a wooden plate under the mount);
unscrew the camshaft mounting bolt;
remove the key with the gear wheel.
