The car is installed with a volume of 1600 cubic meters. See, in its design, it is the further development of the VAZ 2111 motor volume of 1,500 cubic meters. See on the basis of this power aggregate In 2004, new, with indices 11186 and 21116, having the maximum power of 87 liters, were created. from. Lada engine 11183 became the basic for the car Lada Grant. Completed with an engine with a capacity of 90 liters. from. The increased working volume of cylinders was achieved by increasing the stroke of the pistons in the cylinders.

Basic engine

During the entire period of production, the engines are improved by adding in power. The introduction of the 11186 piston group lightened to 39% made it possible not only to achieve an increase in power in 7 liters. p., But also improve the elasticity and torque of 20 nm in the entire range of revolutions. A higher traction allows you to slowly switch the transmissions and overtakely accelerate when the crankshaft is over 1500.

Motor modification VAZ 11183 is currently installed under the hood of the car Lada Grant in basic configuration And in Lada Kalina. Engine specifications:

• working volume - 1596 cubic meters. cm;
• power - 80.9 liters. from. at 5,200 rpm;
• torque - 125 nm at 3000 rpm;
• compression ratio - 9.6.

Both - 11186 and 21116 - have a good economy: 7-7.5 liters per 100 km. Applied fuel - AI95, although many owners successfully exploit the car on the 92nd gasoline. The valve mechanism of both models has 2 valves per cylinder, and in the XXI century such a design has long been considered outdated. Therefore, the manufacturer makes a bet on high constructive reliability and a long-term resource of motors. Officially declared by the manufacturer mileage until the first overhaul It is 150 thousand km, although in practice the motors go 250 - 300 thousand.

As a rule, the power units of the Lada grants are not subject to extreme overloads and are considered relatively reliable engines. Engine has good potential For tuning: up to 120 liters. from. without loss of resource and up to 180 liters. from. With some reduction in durability. Among the disadvantages of the motor, elevated demands of valve adjustment, noise resembling diesel. Also, the engine can trit, knock, overheat, etc.

When the timing belt breaks, the valves are rarely damaged if the engine has not been setting the sports camshaft.

Engine high power

Motors Lada 11186 and Lada 21116 - four-stroke, topless. Specifications:

• engine volume - 1593 cubic meters. cm;
• power - 87 and 90 liters. from. respectively at 5100 rpm;
• torque - 140 nm at 3800 rpm;
• the degree of compression is 10.5.

Recommended Fuel AI95. Passport resource - 200 thousand km. As well as the basic, has potential for forcing up to 180 liters. p., and without loss of resource - up to 120 liters. from. Power system - with distributed fuel injection and electric drive throttle valve. Metal cylinder head gasket has a new design. The head of the cylinder block passes the factory heat treatment, which increases its resource. The drive of the gas distribution mechanism is carried out by a gear strap with automatic tension and remote beds crankshaft. Pistons are cooled with special oil nozzles, improving the efficiency of the standard cooling system. The ignition system does not have coils and is similar to the ignition system of Modification 21114. Environmental Standard Euro-4. Resource to overhaul - 200 thousand kilometers.

Mounted on the Lada Grant in the configuration of the norm and suite. Provide excellent for domestic cars Dynamics and efficiency, but in comparison with foreign analogues - mediocre. Although on the other hand, the motors are easily minted, including independent.

If we compare with the basic, the engines have the same design disadvantages, but now when the timing belt breaks, the valves are damaged almost guaranteed.

16-valve engines

Immediately after the development of the modification of Lada Grant Liftbek, the manufacturer began to install motors with 4 valves on this car with the Lada index 21126 and 21127.

Engine 21126 has the following specifications:

• power - 98 liters. from. at 5600 rpm;
• torque - 145 nm at 4000 rpm.

The mechanism is aggregated by S. automatic box Transmissions.

Engine VAZ 21127 reaches:

• power 106 liters. from. at 5800 rpm;
• traction 148 nm at 4000 rpm.

It works in a pair only with a manual box.

Such a choice is associated primarily with constructive features Different transmissions. The compression ratio of both models is 11. Fuel - gasoline AI95. Resource on the recommendations of the manufacturer - 200 thousand km. The potential for tuning is up to 400 liters. p., without loss of resource - up to 120 liters. from. It is installed on the car Lada Grant in luxury equipment and luxury plus, as well as in Lada Priora.

The disadvantages of these engines installed on Lada: unstable work that arise power loss, problems in the operation of the fuel pump, the incorrect operation of the gas distribution mechanism, the failure of the sensors, leakage of air hoses, throttle faults. The most significant disadvantage is the high probability of damage to the valves when the timing belt break. However, with all its disadvantages, these motors are considered specialists the most advanced engines of Russian production.

The grant top engine is a forced version of the 16-valve engine. Specifications:

• power in 118 liters. from. at 5900 rpm;
• torque - 154 nm at 4750 rpm.

The motor is installed on the model of Lada Grant Sport. The degree of compression is 11. Fuel - AI95. Resource - 200 thousand km. Potential to increase power - up to 400 liters. from. and higher. Increased power is achieved by applying lightweight details of the cylinder-piston group, installation distributional shafts TMS with the changed inlet and release characteristics, the use of "spider" in the release system. The engine control unit is reprogrammed. Curve power and torque in the range of up to 3000 rpm. Performance corresponds to the motor 21126. After 3 thousand revolutions, the character becomes more sporty. Fuel consumption of Lada Grant Sports in comparison with modification 21126 has not changed.

For many, this parameter will be important when choosing which engine is preferred.

Motor malfunction and repair grants 21116/11186

We are in front of us the engine 21116, which is a modified motor 21114 1.6 liters. which in turn is based on the all-famous 21083 motor. Differences of the engine 21116 from the VAZ 21114 to use Priorovsky lightweight (by 39%) Pederal Mogul manufacturing, a block of cylinders, too, from the priori engine VAZ 21126.Differences of the engine 21116 from 11186 in the manufacturer of piston, for 11186 it makes it manufactures AvtoVAZ for 21116 - Federal Mogul, that's all))
What is good: the noise and consumption of gasoline decreased, the environment and power increased markedly (almost at the level of 124th 16V), at the same time a serious disadvantage appeared, when the timing belt is cut, the VAZ engine 21116 is the rotor of the valve. The lower resource is also noted compared to the old 11183 engine, despite the fact that the plant is stating the resource of the VAZ 21116 - 200 thousand. km.
Engine VAZ 21116 1.6 liters. Injector inline 4-cylinder with the upper arrangement of the camshaft, the gas distribution mechanism has a belt drive. Working temperature Engine grant 11186 - 95 degrees.
According to problems, you have noise and knock on the engine in the engine of Lada Grant or he troit, cares ... The article in the previous versions of this motor (2111) describes the reasons for these faults, read.

Tuning Engine Lada Grant, VAZ 21116, VAZ 11186

Atmospheric grant engine tuning

Consider the potential of the motor 21116 8V without replacing the GBC on the 16 valve (engine 126 16V and its refinement are mentioned in a separate article)
The first and already familiar to us on tuning of the engine 21114 is the replacement of the camshaft for need of 10.93, set the split gear, adjust the phases. We hang on top of the receiver, 54 mm flap and spider exhaust 4-2-1 with this set of engine power will be about 100 hp. For additional refinement and milling of the GBC, as well as the intake manifold, we get about 120 hp

Compressor on Lada Grant

Another method of obtaining such a return from 116 motor is the installation of a PC-23-1 compressor with a pressure of 0.5 bar for drain piston. With the shaft of needed 10.63 or 10.42 will result will be better. In a widely known video, everything is available for the successful implementation of the project on the basis of 2113, all this is easily reconstructed on a grant, Kalina, Prior and other cars.

Attention Mate (18+)

8 The valve head allows you to raise the power above 120 hp, but at the same time we will rise and the cost of repairing the engine VAZ 21116.It is noticeable to increase the potential possible by installing 16 valve cylinder heads, with the receiver, damper and exhaust the same 120 hp We get easily and without loss of resource.

Engine Grant Turbo.

The best option, when installing a turbine, there will be a transition to 16 valves (this is done in order to increase the efficiency of the motor) and tuning further on the principle of turbining priors. If desired, to build a rare instance - turbo 8 valves, it is necessary to consider that 8V is extremely unstable when prested. So, for the construction you will need a Niva pistons on a 121 rod from 2110, prior gasket, trees for turbo (STI-2.1 phase 280 lift 11.4, STI-3 11.7 Phase 288 or need 11.8 phase 286), Bosch 360CC nozzles, Bloous Off, damper 54mm, DDA + DTV, Turbine from Folzwagen 1.8T under the lower location. All this is configured online, blows 1 bar and gives about 170-180 hp.
There are ready-made solutions, whales based on Garette 17, they easily influence you 0.5 bar and power jums up to + \\ - 130 hp
All this is done with any 8 valve motor, for front-wheelwater vases.

01.06.2017

The redundant version of Lada Kalina called Granta appeared on the market in 2011. From its predecessor, the grant is distinguished by a different exterior and simpler filling. Under the hood, Lada Granta is located budget motors on 8 valves and on more expensive versions of grants 16-valve engines.

Engine VAZ 21114/11183 1.6 l

AvtoVazovsky engine 21114/11183 by 1.6 liters became the evolution of 0.83th and 2111 engines with a higher BC and an increased piston running.

As positive moments, the tractionality, reliability and elasticity of the motor, along with the enhancing environmental indicators, are noted, along with the enhancing environmental performance.

The "Kalina" motor has an injection system, four cylinders, the upper arrangement of the camshaft. The timing belt drive is not oppressed by the timing of the valve.

The disadvantages of the VAZ 21114/11183 motor range are related to the need to regulate valve gaps, diesel location, noises and knocks, troops and violation of the temperature regime due to the resulting thermostat. 3.

Engine VAZ 21116/11186 1.6 l

The power unit 21116/11186 became an improved version of 21114 and differs from the precursor to the use of Federal Mogul brand easier than 39%. At the same time, the cylinder block was obtained from the VAZ 21126.

The undoubted advantages of the new engine should include noise reduction, gasoline consumption, improved eco-norms and increased power. At the same time, the timing belt drive when cutting the valves.

Unlike the predecessor, the engine 21116/11186 received a smaller resource from the manufacturer - 200 thousand kilometers.

The main problems should be attributed to the knocks due to non-regulated valves, strokes, floating momentum. With a faulty thermostat, the engine does not heat. The deaf stuffs of Tala indicate problems with root bearings of crankshaft or connecting rod bearings. 2+.

Priora engine 21126 1.6 16 valves

The power unit 21126 became the successor of the motor 21124 but with a lightweight 39% SPG. The grooves under the valves decreased, and the timing belt received an automatic tensioner. A better processing of the surfaces of the BC forces the honing of cylinders in accordance with the high demands of the company Federal Mogul.

Motor 21126 received an injection system of nutrition, four cylinders, the upper arrangement of the camshafts.

In general, the engine is positioned as modern, reliable and comfortable for urban trips.

The disadvantages include loss of performance due to low compression in the cylinders. Timing belt when cutting the valves. Unstable work is due to the problems of the fuel pressure, throttle fault or sensors. 3+.

Engine 21127 priors

The new engine from AvtoVAZ 21127 prior became the continuation of the 21126th and is based on a modified engine 21083.

The engine has received an injection system, 4 cylinders, the upper arrangement of the camshafts and the timing belt drive.

The peculiarities of 21127 prior refers to the presence of an inlet system with a resonant chamber that adjusts the volume. Along with this, DAD + DTV is applied instead of DMRV, which made it possible to get rid of floating revolutions.

The engine malfunction is repeated by the minuses of their predecessors: the bending valves when the timing belt is cut, noise, trim, knocks. 3+.

At the present time, the mechanical transmission, and the classic machine is inferior to a preselective robot with two couplings in the switching speed.

But is there any more rapid gearbox? The answer to this question knows in the company Koenigsegg.

The new Hypercar Koenigsegg Jesko is a car with an eight-cylinder V-shaped engine that consumes biofuels E85 and develops 1600 hp. But the maximum car speed of 480 km / h is achieved not only at the expense of the engine, but also due to the transmission of Light Speed \u200b\u200bTransmisson (LST).

This gearbox works literally at sound speed. This installation has eight clutches, six of which are calculated for the 9-speed transmission.

The company's engineers were able to create a hypercar, the gearbox of which represents two three-stage transmissions. Action LST is similar to switching speeds by bike, which has several stars of different sizes.

This gearbox can decline the steps even without intermediate inclusions. Also may surprise the total weight of this transmission. It is about 90 kilograms.

Renault. conducted a presentation of the updated version of the crossover Renault Koleos.. A new version Car received improved appearance, complete processing of the interior and software, as well as a pair of engines.

Two versions of the car will be available to the buyer: standard and improved. The first includes: 18-inch drives, LED headlights, multifunctional touch screen, parking assistant, rear view cameras, climate control, etc.

The improved version of the crossover will be equipped with alloy discs in 19-inches, a large touch screen, leather outcome of the cabin, heated seats and electric trunk drive.

Despite the fact that Lada Grant is a budget car, the manufacturer offers a large assortment of engines for it:

• VAZ 21126-77.

Of course, the volume of the above-listed motors is approximately similar and is 1.6 liters, but each of the listed power plants is characterized by its own advantages and disadvantages. For this reason, many car enthusiasts wishing to buy Lada Grand often cannot decide on the type of engine they need, and therefore we will try to consider each of them.

Main engines

AvtoVAZ offers customers to buyers from the already mentioned slightly above power units. Let's talk about each of them separately.

The eight-smelted VAZ-11183-50 engine is an advanced VAZ-2111, with a capacity of 82 hp, which is installed on sedans and grant hatchbacks. The work on improving the aggregate increased its environmental friendliness and reliability, significantly increased the level of the engine of the engine and its elasticity.

The minuses of VAZ-11183-50 include increased noise and the need to adjust valves from time to time. In addition, this motor may not warm up to the desired temperature due to the thermostat fault (thermostat in such a situation should be replaced).

In addition, it is often noted and instability in the operation of the motor, the reasons for which there can be several. For example, such instability is often associated with carrying one of the valves, with a violation of the integrity of the gasket or with a malfunction of the ignition module. However, the bending of the valves due to the vehicle cliff does not happen.

VAZ 21116 is another representative of eight-flaped engines with 87 hp under the hood. It is a modified and improved engineered engine VAZ-21114, which is distinguished by a lower level of noise and tangible fuel economy. They are equipped with the cars of the grant "norm".

If we compare the VAZ 21116 with the VAZ-21114, it should be noted a noticeably improved level of ecology, also tangible and power and power. The disadvantages of the motor are more modest than, for example, VAZ-11183, a resource. His pistons are much easier than the predecessor, but the specified circumstance led to the appearance of two more flaws.

So, in more lightweight pistons, it is simply no place to be left for recesses, therefore, when the belt is broken, the valves will definitely bend. Another disadvantage of such pistons is associated with their fragility. For this reason, the pistons can be broken down when colliding with valves, and in four cases of five such contacts will require their replacement.

Naturally, potential buyers will be interested in the dynamic data of this engine. The presence of lighter pistons, which have already been mentioned earlier, allowed the motor to add not only in terms of power, but also in additional economy. Cars with such a motor develop speed up to 167 km / h, and overclocking from 0 to 100 meters will take 12.4 seconds.

VAZ-21126 engines are equipped with "Lux" grants. These motors are direct heirs of VAZ-21124, representing a rather serious sixteenthly smelted power unit with a capacity of 98 hp.

Cars from this power installation They differ very impressive dynamic characteristics: acceleration up to one hundred meters - for 11.4 seconds, maximum speed - 172 km / h. Stand tests showed not only the complete consistency of the stated indicators, but also the presence of reserves for their exceeding. The explicit lack of VAZ-2126 inherited from the predecessor - the collision of the valves with the pistons due to the belt break will lead to the one hundred percent bending of the first.

VAZ-21127 is an improved VAZ-21126 engine. It also has 16 valves with a power indicator in 106 hp. These power units are equipped with a luxury grant car machine.

VAZ-21127 is distinguished by enviable treagorship, especially the lower, changes that occurred in the process of improvement are not too significant, but are felt almost immediately. Another of his sign difference was the absence of DMRV, instead of which the designers proposed to install absolute pressure sensors. Owners of machines equipped with the described engine marked the increased, in comparison with its predecessor, power. But the VAZ-21127 does not boast of adding in elasticity, and therefore it is not able to quickly gain momentum on increased transmissions.

His minuses include the already familiar bending of the valves due to the belt cliff, noise when working, most often caused by violations in the operation of the gas distribution system and the possible loss by the motor of its power characteristics when erasing piston ringsDue to the deformation of the pistons or due to the wear of the cylinders.

You should also mention another engine that has a direct relation to the grant - VAZ-21126-77. This motor is installed on the Lada Grant Sport car, the specified unit has become the result of the upgrade of the VAZ-21126 engine.

One of its most important features was the addition of power during the transition through a mark of 3000 rpm., For the rest of its characteristics, it is practically not distinguisord by the strengths described above. The four-cylinder engine, at a volume of 1.6 liters, its power is 120 hp.

According to many data, it is completely similar to the VAZ-21126 motor. Its minus - already the usual bending of the valves, the cause of which the timing belt becomes.

Old engines

VAZ 11183 (VAZ 21114)

Power units of VAZ 11183 (or VAZ 21114) Lada Kalina cars began to equip in 2004, and then by inheritance, he moved to the "Standard" grant. This is a rather simple and primitive four-cylinder engine with 8 valves, with a capacity of 82 hp. and 1.6 liters.

It does not boast of solid power characteristics, but does not cause special problems when driving, besides, very easy to maintain. It features environmental friendliness and reliability, while it has both good characteristics of elasticity. In addition, this motor is known as one of the most tracked, especially on the nizakh.

An important additional plus is a reliable timing system that does not allow the collision of pistons and valves when the timing belt breaks.

But during the operation of the motor can also be celebrated and some minuses, in particular:

• Possible not a crankshaft starter;
• Strong noise when working starter;
• Even after turning the crankshaft, the engine may not be launched;
• There is an instability when it is idling;
• The engine does not function in full force, which causes a disruption of continuity. As a result, jerk are noted when moving the car;
• The appearance of shots and cotton;
• Increasing fuel and oil consumption standards, insufficient oil pressure;
• The emergence of specific highly removal chains when improving the load on the engine;
• Overheating of the engine or, on the contrary, the inability for a long time to heat it to the desired temperature;
• The constant operation of the electric fan, including on a cold engine;
• Reducing the coolant level;
• Appearance of extraneous noise or strong motor vibration;
• During the engine operation, the signal control system for the power unit is lit.

Alternative engines

VAZ-21904.

VAZ-21904 is a sixteenthly populated turbo engine with a volume of 1.4 and a capacity of 163 hp. In addition, it is equipped with a lithium-ion battery and an electric motor. The basis for him was the VAZ-11194 engine, it was installed on the car brand of Lada Kalina in the first generation. As for the VAZ-21904 itself, it is installed on hybrid grants - VAZ-21904 sedans. Volzhsky Automobile Plant conducted a test of four such cars equipped with three various options hybrid engines.

The fifth transmission was replaced by the shaft robotic box Gear, it rotates due to a small electric motor, the power of which is 11 kW. This option was simpler and cheap than the use of the standard circuit with the location of the electric motor between the gearbox and the engine. Thus, the gear remains four, but there will be no problems to the owner of the car this aspect - the maximum speed (160 km / h) is achieved by the machine and the fourth transmission.

Also, the technical task required from the developers of the fulfillment of two mandatory conditions - charging the hybrid car from the electrical networks exploited into everyday life and the possibility of its movement immediately in two modes - combined and electrical. AvtoVAZ partners in the development of electronics were the Russian Research Institute us and Ricardo from Great Britain. It was in us we developed a battery and an electric motor for a hybrid vehicle.

The car is capable of starting the movement of purely on electric traction, with muffled internal combustion engine. In the process of a set of speed, the transmission will carry out a "robot", and the accurate return of the electric motor corresponds to the synchronization of rotation of rotation of the gear at this moment. When the gasoline engine starts, the machine will start working in a hybrid mode - with the same transmission switching, at which the electric motor will or help rotate the primary shaft of the box, or go into the generator mode, ensuring the battery charging.

According to tests, a hybrid car will spend less than 21% of fuel than a grant with an ordinary engine 1.6. (Measures, naturally, were carried out in a gentle mode, but the result was very good).

Of course, only a few hope that Hybrid Lada Grant will be enjoyed in great demand and will be able to cause any significant interest in the car market in the near future. Currently, such cars are no more than peculiar aggregatons designed to test separately different nodes. If we speak specifically about the transmission of a hybrid type, then its serial release will start at least two or three years, and it will be installed on quite expensive Lada cars, most likely - C-class. Thus, it is quite possible with time and should expect an increase in demand for hybrid cars, however, the main condition for this is cardinal change Relationships to "environmental" transport not only motorists, but also of the state, as well as the manufacturers themselves.

conclusions

Thus, we found out what kind of motors the grants are equipped with today the most affordable cars from the entire line of cars produced by the Volga Automobile Plant. Running (including price) between different grades is quite large, which causes significant discontent in the environment of motorists. However, despite this, grant, including with 8-clock engines, is very actively implemented in various regions of the country.

Engine Lada Kalina 1.6 8 valve Good sign by our drivers. After all, his story goes to advanced (for his time) Motor VAZ 2108. Since then, the power unit survived a huge amount of modernization. But the main parameters of the design remained unchanged. Today we will talk more about this force unit.

Gasoline power unit LADA KALINA VAZ-11186 with a capacity of 87 hp 1.6 liter working volume came to replace the injector engine VAZ-11183 developing 82 horsepower. Increase the power and efficacy of the power unit managed to be a new lightweight piston group from Federal Mogul. Of course, the motor does not differ in enchanting dynamics and low fuel consumption, but its relatively simple design and maintainability allows us to talk about a good embodiment for our harsh operating conditions.

As for the device of the technical part, the basis of the cast iron block of cylinders, aluminum head, aluminum cylinder cylinder cover, steel crankcase steel pallet. In the drive of GRM Lada Kalina 8-CL. Standing belt. The eight-flaped GHM mechanism does not have hydrocomathers, the adjustment of the valves is rare, but the process is quite painstaking. It is necessary to select "Pyataki" of different thickness and lay them between camshaft cams and bottoms of the pushers. The first time this procedure is carried out on the so-called "0" zero, after 3000 km of mileage.

The eternal question does the valve bend on the engine Kalina VAZ-11186 when cutting a timing belt? The answer is unequivocal, when the belt break valve Gnet! As a pair of motor attached 5-speed mechanical box Transmissions, other options are not provided.

Another feature of the motor can be called the location of the water pump (pump), which rotates all the same timing belt. That is, in the case of leakage of coolant or characteristic noise / whistle / groul in the GDM drive area, the belt check is required. If the pump bearing rates and the belt flies, then besides replacing the body of the water pump and the belt, it will also have to go through the head of the cylinder block, removing the bent valves from there.

As an original belt on AvtoVAZ, a very reliable belt of the Gates company is put. Often the gates belt resource is much higher than the pump resource and the engine of Lada Kalina 8 valves.
