The five-seater VAZ 2111 has become one of the most popular domestic cars produced as a station wagon. Initially planned as a “dacha”, the VAZ 2111 turned out to be suitable for traveling in a small group and for use on city routes.

Engine characteristics

For the VAZ 2111, an injection engine was chosen as the power unit. Depending on the modification, only the engine volume changed - from one and a half thousand cubic centimeters (VAZ 21110) to 1,596 cubic centimeters (VA 21112 and VAZ 21114). In the second case, we are talking about 16-valve engines, the power of which allows you to accelerate to 185 kilometers per hour.

Modifications	Engine capacity, cm3	Power, kW (hp)/rev	Cylinders	Fuel system type	Fuel type
2111 1.5 8v (79 hp)				Injector
21111 1.5 (72 hp)				Carburetor
21112 1.6 8v (80 hp)				Injector
21113 1.5 16v (89 hp)				Injector
21114 1.6 16v (90 hp)				Injector
2111-90 (Tarzan) 1.8 (85 hp)				Injector

Car transmission

Like other models of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant, the VAZ 2111 is equipped with a manual gearbox. However, most VAZ fans are convinced that this technological solution is the most convenient and practical.

Brake system and power steering

The brake system of the VAZ 2111 does not differ from its predecessors and classmates, but the power steering is already becoming a truly basic element for VAZ cars.

Dynamics

Thanks to an engine quite powerful for its class, the VAZ 2111 is capable of accelerating to 100 kilometers per hour even faster than its predecessors.

Fuel consumption

Fuel consumption for the VAZ 2111 under favorable operating conditions (at long non-urban distances) starts from seven liters per 100 kilometers. In the city, the engine consumes about 10 and a little more liters per 100 kilometers.

Small class cars VAZ-2110 (export name Lada 110) with a four-door five-seater sedan body (class C according to the international classification) are equipped with engines of 1.5 and 1.6 liters, with a power of 58–68 kW (79–92.5 hp). c.), located across the engine compartment.

Previously, cars at the factory were equipped with 1.5 liter engines: first with carburetor engines, and then with a distributed fuel injection system. Currently, cars are equipped only with engines with a displacement of 1.6 liters: eight-valve VAZ-21114 and sixteen-valve VAZ-21124 with distributed fuel injection systems and three-component exhaust gas catalysts with feedback. The engines meet Euro-2 and Euro-3 standards.

The body is load-bearing, all-metal, of welded construction with hinged doors, front fenders, hood and trunk lid. The VAZ-2110 car is the first sedan in Russia with a hatch that can be opened from the trunk leading into the cabin, which allows you to transport long items.

Part of the production modification 21103 with a 16-valve VAZ-2112 engine is equipped with air conditioning, and since the end of 2002, on request, power steering from ZF.

This modification differs from the basic one by a hood with an integrated radiator lining of a more modern shape and a front bumper, as well as original headlights. The rear lights, moldings and interior details have also been changed.

In 1998, production of the VAZ-2111 car (export name Lada 111) with a station wagon body began. According to the layout, engine, transmission, chassis, body equipment, this car is identical to the VAZ-2110 car. It features a redesigned rear end with a large tailgate. The trunk of this car is the most spacious in the family: 490 liters with the rear row of seats raised and 1420 liters with them folded.

Production of the VAZ-2112 car (export name Lada 112) with a hatchback body began in 2000. The layout of this car is the same as that of the VAZ-2111, but the body has a large rear angle. The engines are used only with a distributed injection system, both 8-valve and 16-valve. The rear seat folds in a 2:3 ratio, which increases trunk capacity from 415 to 1270 liters. The interior, like other models of the family, is equipped in “standard”, “norm” and “luxury” trim levels. The latest equipment includes fog lights, headlight cleaner and washer, 14-inch alloy wheels, three-way catalytic converter (Euro 2), internal bonnet lining, door security bars, immobilizer, on-board monitoring system, velvet seat upholstery and soft upholstery doors, central electric door locking, electric windows. By additional order, an on-board computer, electric front seat heaters, electric outside rear-view mirrors, anti-lock brakes, an airbag and a sunroof are installed.

The VAZ “ten” line dates back to the 2110 sedan (1995). Three years later, the assembly of the 2111 station wagon model was established, and a year later the production of hatchbacks began.

At first, the 2110 model was equipped with a sixteen-valve one and a half liter engine. These were the maximum capabilities of the famous automobile plant in those days.

But time passes and progress, including automotive progress, does not stand still - another car appears, VAZ-2112, 16 valve. The hitherto known eight-valve version had less dynamism and power. And the appearance of the car has become more sporty.

“Lux” and “Norma” configurations

The plant presented the car in two versions. Equipment:

1. "Lux". Trip computer, alloy wheels, fog lights, headlight cleaning system.
2. "Norm". Electric windows for all door windows, central locking, height-adjustable steering column, immobilizer, remote trunk release.

Neither trim included air conditioning, which is a significant drawback in terms of comfort by today's standards. It is because of this that many drivers preferred used foreign cars to VAZ.

Body Features

The appearance and body design have undergone some changes. VAZ-2112 (16 valve engine) became shorter by almost ten centimeters. The reason for this is the design of the rear overhang. The wheelbase remains the same. Changes:

• body length - 4,170 mm;
• height -1,420 mm;
• width - 1,680 mm.

The top of the body began to smoothly transition into a rather short overhang, which is crowned with a large wing.

This design made the car better to drive, as aerodynamics contribute to this - performance has improved compared to previous models. The appearance of the car has also changed for the better.

This model is in great demand among tuning fans. The galvanized body of the “ten” family is still susceptible to corrosion. Therefore, “anti-corrosion” should be performed immediately after purchasing the car, without counting on the reliability of the factory coating.

Interior of the car

The interior of the twelfth model collected all the best from its previous “brothers”. Changes:

1. The rear seatbacks are separated. Each of the backrests folds (moves forward as needed).
2. The trunk has become significantly larger. Due to these changes, it became possible to transport long items, which summer residents like so much.
3. Car owners complain that it is a bit dark in the cabin and the dashboard is not very visible.
4. The assembly seems to be of high quality, but there are still pure VAZ noises and panel squeaks when driving.
5. The power windows are controlled by buttons in close proximity to the handbrake, and this is not entirely convenient: it would be more appropriate to place them on the car door cards. In addition, such a drive is only on the front windows, and the rear windows are opened with “oars” - handles, and even then not in the basic configuration.
6. There is an almost complete lack of sound insulation. However, almost all VAZs suffer from this. Even with loud music, you can hear the engine, chassis and rustling wheels in the cabin.
7. As for the front seats, their performance is good, although the adjustments are very inconvenient. Large people feel comfortable in this car - both the driver and the passenger on the right.
8. The trunk is very convenient when loading - the shelf does not interfere.
9. The driver has an excellent view.
10. The rear seats are comfortable for passengers, although the gap between the roof and the passengers' heads is small.

The pedals are quite closely spaced. The driver experiences the greatest inconvenience from this in winter, when the shoes are wider.

From the edge of the brake pedal to the console there is just over 100 millimeters, and many drivers have to press the accelerator pedal while keeping their right foot in an unnatural position, otherwise it can get caught in the brake pedal. The most interesting thing is that there are no such shortcomings in the “ten”. It is very possible that the convex panel on the side of the tunnel is to blame.

The interior looks much more modest in comparison with foreign cars of the same class.

Many drivers believe that the suspension has become too soft, that is, there is no “feedback”. For decades, the car owner has become accustomed to feeling every bump on the road in a VAZ - this gives confidence in driving, since the driver “feels” the road and the car.

This effect appeared due to the modified suspension system

Nevertheless, the car handles perfectly, and this is felt even with a slight turn of the steering wheel. But at low speeds and during maneuvers at the very beginning of the movement, the steering wheel is a bit heavy. ABS is not provided.

The brake system is still the same:

• front disc brakes (with vacuum booster);
• drum brakes at the rear;
• Braking is confident and effective, and the system itself is simple and easy to maintain.

The car, with all its existing shortcomings, is still quite successful, especially if you take into account its reasonable price.

Car engine

The engine was not created from scratch, but on the basis of 21083, as a result, manufacturers received a 16-valve engine, and the VAZ-2112 feels more confident with it.

The geometric characteristics of the base engine are preserved, but there are differences in power, efficiency, and throttle response. Advantages:

1. Compensators are installed on the engine - now the driver is spared from adjusting the valves every 10 thousand km.
2. Environmental standards fit into the Euro-3 standard.
3. The injector makes it possible to forget about servicing the latter for a long time - there are far fewer worries than with a carburetor on a “classic”, for example. This ensures smooth running of the machine in all modes.
4. When the engine revs above 3 thousand, the engine has better throttle response and dynamics compared to its predecessor.
5. Due to the modified combustion chamber, the anti-knock qualities of this engine have been improved, and this is important considering that gasoline at gas stations is not of good quality. This measure of design changes extends the service life of the engine until the next major overhaul.
6. Stable operation of the cooling system in any weather allows you to maintain the desired temperature regime.

It is noteworthy that very famous automobile brands were involved in its creation. This, however, did not relieve the design from some shortcomings:

1. Low torque at low speeds.
2. The belt drive is not reliable and if it breaks on a 1.5-liter engine, it bends the valves, which cannot be said about a 1.6-liter engine. This drawback ends up costing the car owner a lot of money: the cylinder head has to be repaired.
3. The engine has two camshafts: intake and exhaust. They open and close the valves, intake and exhaust, respectively. There are not two such valves, as on the “ten”, but four for each cylinder. This, of course, significantly improves engine performance by supplying more combustible mixture to the cylinders, and there is also improved exhaust gas removal to the exhaust manifold. This is both an advantage of the engine and its disadvantage at the same time, since despite obvious advantages in operational characteristics, its repair is more expensive. If the 8-valve engine has always been famous for being unpretentious in maintenance, the same cannot be said about the 16-valve engine.

The timing belt (timing belt) is longer than on the base engine, therefore more expensive. If on the previous model one pressure roller and one timing gear were used, then on this one the number of mentioned parts has doubled.

Main characteristics

The displacement of the engine is of particular interest to the consumer, and the displacement of the VAZ-2112 engine (16 valves) can be different. There are three types in total:

1. Engine VAZ-21120. Engine capacity - 1.5 liters. Power is 93 horsepower. Motor resource - up to two hundred thousand km.
2. Engine VAZ-21124. Displacement - 1.6. Power - 90 horsepower. The resource is the same.
3. Engine 21128. Volume - 1.8. The power is slightly higher - 98 hp. With. Piston diameter 82.5 mm. The mileage before overhaul has been increased to 250 thousand km.
4. The cylinder block is cast, casting material is cast iron.
5. The connecting rods are forged, have an I-section and are fully interchangeable with similar parts of the 2110 model.

Average fuel consumption for all engines is 7.5 liters.

As you can see, the engines are not much different, judging by their main characteristics.

How to avoid common breakdowns?

Valve deformation due to a broken timing belt is the main “disease” of a one and a half liter engine, which requires considerable funds for its “treatment”. But, as they say, there is a cure for every disease.

It is enough to replace the “original” pistons with those used in model 21124 (selections for the valves are made there), and the car owner will avoid unwanted consequences associated with disassembling and repairing the engine.

This, however, is fraught with some complications, since it degrades the engine, which will lead to a drop in power.

If the owner of his car does not want to lose power, then he needs to do the following:

• buy timing belts only from proven and time-tested brands;
• carefully monitor the condition of the said belt and in case of the slightest defect, immediately replace it with a new one, without waiting for an unplanned rupture;
• It is also necessary to control the operation of the pressure rollers. The slightest squeak or rustling is a signal to replace the roller.

Another very common malfunction is “floating” engine speed. As a rule, it's all about the idle speed sensor, which also needs to be replaced periodically. Unfortunately, the quality of sensors has deteriorated sharply in recent years.

If the engine stalls when changing gears, you should wash the throttle valve with a special carburetor cleaner.

When the engine “troubles”, you need to check the high voltage wires (drivers call them armored wires) and the module. It would also be useful to check the compression in the engine cylinders.

Of course, you shouldn’t discount the fuel system either. You need to try to refuel with the “correct” gasoline, both in terms of octane number and in terms of its quality. As for fuel filters, you cannot install them if they are of dubious quality and from unknown brands. Filters should be replaced every 10 thousand km, although a lot depends on the quality of gasoline. One unsuccessful refueling can be disastrous, as a result of which the fuel filter will become unusable and the injector nozzles may become clogged, which also leads to unexpected costs.

The 2111 engine was designed for a front-wheel drive car based on the VAZ 2108, but a sedan, not a hatchback, so the engine became a hybrid of the 2108 and 2110 internal combustion engines and widely uses their parts in its design. It was with modification 2111 that the manufacturer AvtoVAZ began equipping cars with injection engines controlled by an on-board computer.

Characteristics of the motor 2111

Since 1993, the manufacturer AvtoVAZ opened the VAZ-2110 project. A front-wheel drive luxury sedan was being developed, so carburetor modifications of engines 2108, 2110 and their variants did not meet the conditions.

Already at the initial stage, the project was divided into two independent works. A simple conversion of the G8 hatchback into a sedan was called VAZ-21099. The name of the second project remained the same, but work on it was considerably delayed for a number of reasons:

• in 1985, a test sample appeared; the car with a new engine was planned to be launched into series in 1992;
• the crisis confused plans, the management of the manufacturer's plant put the VAZ-2110 on the assembly line only in 1996;
• The first cars had a carburetor internal combustion engine, then a modified 2111 injection type.

The designers managed to make maximum use of existing engine elements so that the user of previous generations of VAZ would not be confused about which oil and coolant to use. By default, the technical characteristics of the ICE 2111 are as follows:

The official manual contains information about what kind of oil to pour: 5W30/5W40 (winter), 20W30/20W40 (summer) and 10W30/15W40 (all-season). The manufacturer specifies engine lubricants from Rosneft, Mobil and Lukoil; a service station specialist usually recommends Mannol, Zic and Valvoline engine oils.

Design features

After many years of modifications, the 2111 engine has the following design nuances:

• engine diagram - electronic control of distributed injection;
• engine block – has holes for fixing brackets for attachments;
• cylinders – bored to size 82 mm;
• crankshaft - with a long 71 mm piston stroke, reminiscent of the 2108 model, but the counterweights are more powerful to reduce vibrations;
• piston - oval recess on the bottom so as not to bend the valves, floating pin fit;
• connecting rod – length 121 mm, lower head is heavier;
• camshaft - the cam profile has been changed, the landing dimensions are the same as option 2108;
• Timing belt – copied from 21083, belt transmission;
• flywheel – the teeth are wider, the profile has been changed, the clutch seat diameter is larger (208 mm), the crown is wider than that of 2110 (27.5 mm);
• starter – gear with 11 teeth;
• belt – 742 mm in the basic version, 1115 mm with power steering, 1125 mm when the car is equipped with air conditioning;
• ECU - GM, Bosch or January;
• injectors – Siemens VAZ 6393 (nozzle with 4 holes, yellow color) with controller January 7.2 or M 7.9.7 or Siemens 6238 (nozzle with 2 holes, color gray) with controllers January 5 or MP 7.0.

Thanks to these design solutions, engine performance is noticeably improved.

Engine modifications

Immediately after the creation of the 2111 engine, injection was modernized, and options appeared:

• 2111-75 – phased injection;
• 2111 -80 – injection in pairs and parallel.

In the first case, a pin at the end of the camshaft allows the DPRV sensor to track the position of the valves (closed/open). A mounting hole for the crankshaft position sensor has been added to the oil pump. For the second option, a camshaft 2110 is used.

Pros and cons

The above description of the parameters exceeds the characteristics of the entire line of internal combustion engines existing at that time, produced by AvtoVAZ. However, “inherited” from the 21083 and 2110 engines, the 2111 engine received disadvantages:

• breakage of studs in the muffler-exhaust manifold mounting;
• breakdown of the fuel submersible pump;
• leaking valve cover gasket;
• low resource of cooling system elements;
• periodic adjustment of valves.

The advantages are low oil and fuel consumption, possible boosting with your own hands, but only by modifying existing units.

What cars was it used in?

The 2111 engine was installed on the following models of front-wheel drive VAZ cars:

• 2108 – three-door hatchback;
• 21083 – three-door hatchback;
• 2109 – five-door hatchback;
• 21093 – five-door hatchback;
• 21099 – sedan;
• 2113 – three-door hatchback;
• 2114 – five-door hatchback;
• 2115 – sedan;
• 2110 – sedan;
• 2111 – five-door station wagon;
• 2112 – five-door hatchback.

The engine was installed on the “eights” and “nines” after 1987, respectively.

Maintenance Procedure

The modernized internal combustion engine device has changed the standard maintenance regulations developed for previously produced engines, so the 2111 engine is serviced as follows:

Maintenance object	Time, year / mileage, thousand km (whichever comes first)
Timing belt	replacement after 100,000 km
Battery	1 /20
Valve clearance	2 /20
Crankcase ventilation	2 /20
Belts that drive attachments	2 /20
Fuel line and tank cap	2 /40
Motor oil	1 /10
Oil filter	1 /10
Air filter	1 – 2 /40
Fuel filter	4 /40
Heating/Cooling Fittings and Hoses	2 /40
Coolant	2 /40
Oxygen sensor	100
Spark plug	1 – 2 /20
Exhaust manifold	1

If the owner tunes the internal combustion engine in order to increase power, the frequency of replacement and diagnostics indicated in the table should be reduced by 30 - 50%.

Typical faults

After many years of operating experience, it was noticed that the 2111 engine is susceptible to the following breakdowns:

The exhaust system of the engine is not fully developed, so the exhaust manifold cracks and its fasteners break. A special feature of the timing belt is the low life of the valve cover gasket.

Engine tuning

By default, the engine uses the maximum cylinder diameter, so boring them out even more will not be possible or will be too expensive. The following types of tuning are used:

• FNS filter – zero resistance can “revive” the motor;
• throttle 54 – a valve with a larger diameter must be mounted in conjunction with the Federal Tax Service;
• direct-flow exhaust system - spider circuit 4/2/1 and resonator with banks;
• sports camshaft – gas distribution modes change.

Thus, the ICE 2111 is an order of magnitude superior to carburetor modifications, does not bend valves, is economical in operation, so it was produced for a long time and in large quantities to complete the entire line of front-wheel drive cars produced at that time. Thanks to several repair sizes of the piston and cylinder, you can make major repairs on your own.

The VAZ 2110 (or Lada 110) is a four-door sedan with front-wheel drive and an original design. Serial production of the five-seater Lada 110 began in 1996 and continues to this day (the car is currently assembled under the Bogdan 2110 brand at the LuAZ plant in Ukraine). Since 1996, the production of several modifications of the VAZ 2110 has been launched, among which you can find models with both 8-valve and 16-valve engines (on later versions). Such technical characteristics of the VAZ 2110 as the type and displacement of the engine (four-cylinder petrol with a volume of up to 1596 cc), as well as the maximum speed of the Lada VAZ 2110 (170 km/h for an 8-valve engine and more than 180 km/h for a 16-valve engine) valve engine) make this front-wheel drive sedan ideal for use in urban environments to this day.

Among the distinctive features of the VAZ 2110, which is classified in the upper price segment of LADA cars, one can also note the presence of an immobilizer, a gasoline vapor recovery system and a special on-board control system (diagnostic unit). There was the possibility of installing electric windows (in fact, they were installed), as well as power steering.

Engine VAZ 2110

VAZ 2110 injector 8 valves came to replace the carburetor engine, which was originally installed on the first VAZ-2110. At the same time, an 8-valve injection engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters first appeared, but then the engine displacement was increased to 1.6 liters. An injector with 8 valves with a volume of 1.5 liters received the engine index VAZ-2111, a more powerful unit with a volume of 1.6 liters (8-liter) received the index VAZ-21114. Recently, modifications of the 21114 engine have been produced; they are installed on almost all today’s Lada models, albeit under a different index.

Today we will talk about the design of the 8-valve injector of the VAZ-2110 as well as the characteristics of this power unit. In our photo at the beginning of the article you can see how the injection engine of the “ten” looks under the hood of the car. So, how does the VAZ 2110 8-valve injector work? Firstly, the main difference between the carburetor version of the engine and the injector is the supply of fuel to the combustion chamber. If in a carburetor engine the combustible mixture is sucked into the cylinders under the influence of vacuum created by the pistons, then in an injection unit the fuel is injected under pressure. It is because of this that the entire design of the injector and carburetor “ten” fuel systems is different. It all starts in the gas tank, where an electric fuel pump is installed, whose task is to create the necessary pressure in the rail. From the ramp, fuel under pressure is injected into the combustion chamber through nozzles. The entire injection process is controlled electronically, which opens and closes (via a return spring) the injector solenoid valves, injecting fuel into the engine. But the electronics in the VAZ 2110 8-valve injector do not work on their own, but are guided by signals from pressure sensors in the fuel system, air sensors and throttle position. There is none of this in the carburetor “ten”. In this regard, let's talk about the pros and cons of the VAZ 2110 8-valve injector. On the positive side, it can be noted that the operation of the injector is more stable, the engine produces more power and torque, while fuel consumption is less than in the carburetor version. But if a carburetor VAZ 2110 can be repaired with almost bare hands, then the injection version requires diagnostic equipment, without which it can be extremely difficult to identify the problem. After all, if one of the sensors turns out to be faulty, then your injection engine may not start or work intermittently.

Basic faults

The main malfunction characteristic of the VAZ 2110 is the appearance of the engine tripping effect. Malfunctions can occur for various reasons. Let's consider the factors that cause unstable engine operation, as well as methods of elimination. If the stove doesn't heat up, look at replacing the valves.

Poor quality fuel

The first thing you need to check is how high-quality the fuel was poured into the vehicle. If the gasoline was of poor quality, then most likely one of the elements of the fuel system was forgotten. So, the motorist will have to find out what the fuel supply scheme is and find parts that could have failed. So, the first element that comes under scrutiny is the spray nozzles. Malfunctions of the injectors can cause unstable operation of the engine, which will lead to tripping. A special stand is used to diagnose and clean the unit, but many motorists carry out the process themselves, using carburetor cleaning fluid. Also, unstable engine operation may be caused by clogged fuel filters. One is located under the rear right wheel, and the second is in the fuel pump. There is a filter mesh on the fuel pump intake that needs to be replaced. The process is quite complicated, since you have to remove the rear seats and remove the fuel supply element. But the fuel filter under the wheel can be changed quickly and without any problems.

Ignition system

Damage to spark plugs or high-voltage wires can also cause tripping. So, it is necessary to check all the elements using a tester, as well as visually inspect them. If there is damage, it is recommended to replace the entire set.

Sensors and ECU

Another major reason for engine tripping is the failure of one of the engine sensors, as well as a malfunction in the electronic control unit. To carry out diagnostics you need to connect to the “brains”. Next, based on the errors shown, find the faulty meter and replace it. If this does not help, and the error in the ECU remains, then it is recommended to reset, and in some cases, flash the control element.

Maintenance

Engine maintenance is carried out every 10-12 thousand kilometers. The schematic map is available from official representatives of the manufacturer. But, as practice shows, it all comes down to changing the oil and oil filter.

Many car enthusiasts ask the question - what is the best engine oil to pour into the VAZ 2110 8-valve power unit? The best option remains semi-synthetic motor oil of domestic or foreign production labeled 10W-30 or 10W-40.

Not many car enthusiasts can boast of a powerful 2110 engine. Thus, to improve the power characteristics of the engine, it is necessary to carry out chip tuning of the VAZ 2110. To do this, they usually turn to specialists, but more and more vehicle owners are doing the process themselves.

The chip tuning scheme is quite simple. To perform the operation yourself, you will need an OBD II cable (USB-Auto), a laptop computer and software. It is worth remembering that there are three options for modifying the power unit: for power (but this will increase consumption), for reducing consumption (leading to a loss of power) and balanced (balance between the optimal indicators of consumption and power).

Typically, chip tuning of a VAZ 2110 is done with the aim of reducing fuel consumption, therefore, if the owner of the car decided to do it himself, then it is necessary to select the appropriate software. But, it is recommended not to take risks and turn to professionals for help.

Many people are concerned about the question of whether the valves on the VAZ 2110 injection engine bend. No it doesn't oppress. The 8-valve injector does not suffer from this defect. But this does not mean that you should not monitor the timing belt. Because loosening and subsequent jumping of the belt by a certain number of teeth will lead to inevitable problems. It is worth paying special attention if engine oil gets on the belt; an oiled belt will not last long. Below is a detailed image of the timing diagram of the 8-valve injection engine “tens”. See the photo below.

When replacing the timing belt on a VAZ-2110, it is necessary to clearly align the marks on the camshaft and crankshaft pulleys; without this, the engine will not operate normally. Another important point is that when the tension roller moves to its original state, the marks shift as the belt tension changes. Therefore, carefully check whether the timing marks are clearly aligned before putting on the cover covering the timing belt.

Transmission and suspension VAZ 2110 8 valves injector

Lada 21102 has a built-in five-speed manual transmission (MT). This box is used on all versions of the 2110 line. It has good noise insulation, the lever stroke is comfortable, and the smoothness of switching is much better than that of Zhiguli and Samara. The body (casing) of the box is made of aluminum alloy. Inside the casing there is a primary (drive) and secondary (driven) shaft. The shafts are combined with the differential and final drive. The five forward gears are equipped with synchronizers, which improve smooth shifting.

Gear ratios: 1st gear - 3.636, 2nd - 1.95, 3rd - 1.357, 4th - 0.941, 5th - 0.784. For reverse gear - 3.5. The final drive ratio is 3.7. The operating instructions state that you need to change the transmission oil every 75 thousand km.

Mitigating the impact of the chassis on the body, as well as ensuring stability and smoothness, is carried out by the front and rear suspension of the Lada 2110. An independent design is used on the front axle. Each wheel has an independent coil spring, inside of which a MacPherson strut is placed. Each strut has its own hydraulic shock absorber. The lower control arms are attached directly to the steering knuckles, and the anti-roll bar is attached to them. Levers help reduce wheel roll (rotate it around the longitudinal axis). When the car makes a turn, the wheel, which is turned “inside the body,” can move away from the axis of rotation. The stabilizer prevents this from happening by twisting. Thus, the front suspension of the Lada 2110 allows you to maintain the stability of the car when cornering. Rear suspension It is a rigid structure, the main element of which is a transverse beam. Since the rear wheels do not rotate, there is no need to provide maneuverability, but rear stability must be at a high level. Therefore, this design was used. The beam consists of trailing arms attached to each wheel and a connector that welds the arms together. The wheels on the rear axle are also equipped with hydraulic shock absorbers to soften impacts. The Lada 2110 is equipped with 175/70 radial tires. Ventilated disc brakes are used on the front wheels, and drum brakes on the rear wheels.

Increase engine power VAZ 2110. Let's consider the potential of the 2111 8V engine without replacing the cylinder head with a 16 valve one. The 103 16V engine and its modifications are mentioned in a separate article.

The easiest way to improve something is to replace the camshaft with an OKB Dinamika 108 or Nuzhdin 10.93, install a split gear, and adjust the phases. The output will be around 85 hp. at a minimum cost and a slightly more active motor. Let’s let the engine breathe freely, install a receiver, a 54 mm throttle body and a 4-2-1 spider exhaust, and we get 90-95 hp and dynamics at the Priora level. To this we add modifications to the cylinder head and intake manifold, lightweight valves, milling of the cylinder head, and the power will jump to 100 hp or more. To further increase power, it is recommended to increase the engine capacity of the 2111 to 1.6 liters by increasing the stroke to 74.8 mm. When using valves of increased diameter, lightweight valve plates, and program settings, the car will show 110 or more hp, but in this configuration it is necessary to select evil shafts with a wide phase and large lift. We will get an excellent sports engine for the VAZ 2110 with a power of 120-130 hp. and more.

Turbine for VAZ 2110

An alternative method for obtaining such power is to install a compressor with a pressure of 0.5 bar. With proper tuning and using a Nuzhdin 10.42 shaft or a wider Nuzhdin 10.63 (or other manufacturers with similar characteristics), the motor will produce about 120 hp +\-.
