According to representatives of AvtoVAZ, this car will become the object of increased attention of the plant's designers. Efforts will be made to give motorists room to carry out technical tuning and tuning salon Lada Grants. Interesting fact: even before the appearance of the first production model Grants, the TMS-Sport company subjected it to significant tuning. Then the tuning of the engine consisted in installing a turbine that increases up to 210 […]

Domestic manufacturers have never taken into account the wishes of motorists when designing and manufacturing cars, guided only by instructions from the country's leadership and the relevant ministry. But the market economy has made its own adjustments and now the company's management is actively using the experience of VAZ car owners in their work and is trying to introduce constructive proposals coming from them into production. For example, the management of the company promised to take into account the huge number of wishes expressed for improving the design of models and the Grant expressed by the owners of these cars in the near future. And what about those who have already purchased a car and face its shortcomings every day? Eliminate them yourself. Moreover, many of them will not be difficult to fix with your own hands. So, how can you improve your imperfect car?
The main problem that VAZ car owners face is the lack of money for high-quality “pumping” of their car. Most car owners prefer to put up with them, but there are restless mechanics who make the necessary changes to their iron horse with their own hands, saving money and gaining invaluable experience in repairing their own car. We present to your attention an approximate work plan for self-tuning car Lada Granta.
Tips on how to start tuning Lada Granta with your own hands and where to start finalizing a car.
1. Carefully inspect the pipes of the fuel supply system and the clutch cable. If there is direct contact between them, they must be isolated from each other. After that, pay attention to the steam outlet and corrugated fuel pipes.
Interesting do-it-yourself tuning work is given in the article step-by-step instruction!
2. At the location of the washer reservoir windshield a piece of protective tape must be glued to the body, which will protect the tank body from wiping during operation.
3. Check the position of the harness located next to the level sensor brake fluid. This can be done by slightly turning the tank cap so that the battery does not touch the motor shield. If it becomes necessary to replace the harness, then after that you need to check the brake fluid level.
4. Inspect the wires of the ignition system, which are marked 2190-3724026. In case of damage to the insulation, insulate the damaged areas with 15-20 layers of electrical tape.
5. Check diagnostic harness oxygen sensor. The manufacturer tries to minimize the sagging of the wires, as a result of which their mechanical damage may occur. To prevent damage in the future, it is necessary to reduce the tension of the wires by pulling them out of the passenger compartment a little.
6. In conclusion, you need to check everything brake pipes vehicle, as they may be damaged due to being too close to each other. To breed them a little to the sides, you can use a regular screwdriver.
All these simple "improvements" will eliminate some of the factory defects of the car and prevent the occurrence of serious malfunctions, the causes of which they can become.
Came to the car market recently. This is not to say that this is a perfect car model. allows you to minimize its minor flaws and adjust the parameters of the car to the needs of a particular motorist. Great option appearance improvements can be seen in the video.
Work on improving the engine and accelerator
The first thing you need to pay attention to is the chip tuning of the engine. Chip standard setting electronic block designed for optimal parameters for engine break-in. Subsequently, the microcircuit is removed from the block and reconfigured. You can do this yourself only if you have some experience and knowledge of the basics of electronics. The average driver cannot cope with this work, so engine chip tuning is done in specialized auto repair shops. A simple "rewriting" of the microcircuit allows you to increase engine power by a quarter. At the same time and internal wear details will be almost halved.
The second point that drivers will not disregard concerns the accelerator pedal. Initially, the car does not respond well to pressing the pedal: in order to achieve high speed, the pedal must simply be pressed into the shelves. You can avoid this if you make certain changes to the intake system, tighten the cable throttle valve and adjust the camshaft.
Chassis tuning
Constantly undergoes tuning. The fact is that the Grants suspension turned out to be soft, designed, rather, for a comfortable ride on flat roads. Alas, there are no such roads in reality, so for rear suspension Do-it-yourself grants needed improvements.
You can do it simply: cut off one coil of the spring. The car will lose comfort, but additional rigidity will give stability on the road. The front suspension can be seen on the shock absorbers from Lada Kalina. They are slightly lower, so the car will get a lower landing.
car exterior tuning
External tuning of Lada Grant is not necessary, as the car looks decent. But it is in this direction that car owners are working especially diligently. Do-it-yourself Lada Granta is remade beyond recognition. Car owners are especially biased towards the bumper. It is believed that he looks old and non-aggressive. used more often than others.
It fits perfectly on fasteners, and looks modern. But the use of the STM bumper seems more promising. In comfort, you will benefit greatly. The shape of the air intake is such that it creates additional cooling both engine and brake system. Connectors for headlights and fog lights also look good.
The rear bumper is rarely replaced.
More often in the rear of the car, tuning is limited to installing a spoiler. For many car enthusiasts, this is a simple decoration. In reality, the spoiler is of great importance when driving at high speeds. It “works” like an airplane wing, with the only difference being that here the air flow presses down on the spoiler, pressing the car against the roadway. Only the correct calculation of the aerodynamics of the spoiler will give stability to the car, so it is not recommended to make it yourself. Watch a video demonstrating the action of a spoiler on the road, and you yourself will give up the idea of \u200b\u200bmaking one at home. Usually such parts are made in workshops on an individual order. This is where the finished product is painted. The owner only needs to install with his own hands.
Sometimes the radiator mesh and the front panel change.
The radiator mesh also does not protect the engine very well. In the summer, this is fraught with clogging of the engine (and the interior too) with plant fluff and insects. Eliminating this drawback on your own is as easy as shelling pears: an aluminum mesh is installed between the ribs of the radiator grille (see video). You can fix it with high-quality glue, but it is better to do this with clamps. Protection from dirt and insects will be provided.
Changing the appearance of the cabin depends only on the imagination and ingenuity of the designer
Tuning the front panel of the car and the interior as a whole can be classified as a design research for car owners. Granta is available in various interior and front panel design options, so it’s better to buy the car that best suits your needs. As photos of the interior trim show, car owners are not always satisfied with the interior design. It makes no sense to describe design options, as they may not appeal to the owner of the car. Unexpected solutions are used, ranging from the replacement of the factory upholstery to the complete replacement of the seats.
For Grant, do-it-yourself tuning, the photo of which you see, is not very expensive and does not take much time.
The basic equipment of the car is such that many parts from other cars are suitable for it, giving stylish external changes. The same Lada Kalina, which was noted earlier, is an almost ideal "donor" of parts for the Lada Grant. The component market is saturated to the limit, so tuning Lada Grants should not create problems for car owners. Go ahead, perhaps your car tuning option will become the prototype of the new Lada.
Despite the fact that Lada Granta is technically well-made and comes in a large number of trim levels, fans of car tuning will definitely have something to work on. In addition, fret liftback tuning allows you to create a car that meets your personal individual needs, adjusting the parameters for your driving style and other aspects of using a car.
Especially often, Lada Grant Liftback tuning shops carry out the design of the outer shell of the car, which seems boring to many users and is nothing special.
First level tuning
Before you start tuning the liftback grants, you should not immediately start shredding the hood stuffing. The first step is to give the car a month, run it in properly and find out for yourself its behavior, driving dynamics, and, possibly, identify structural factory flaws that tuning will fix.
In any case, here are some innovations that can be added to the car at first:
- Installing a new air filter. By setting air filter, possessing zero resistance, you can add the amount of oxygen that enters the chambers internal combustion. Increasing the amount of oxygen, in turn, will lead to an increase in engine power.
- The increase in engine power will also be affected by the replacement of the exhaust manifold. The factory manifold is efficient, but installing a more balanced counterpart will improve results.
- If during the break-in it was decided to carry out a complete upgrade of the engine, then it is better that it be carried out in a complex. The installation of the forgings and the addition of the turbine must be done at the same time in order for the engine to really start running better.
We modernize the appearance of the car
Often for users, the first item in arranging a car is tuning the Grants interior. But when it comes to the appearance of the car, then users begin to carry out external tuning of the liftback by installing a body kit on the body.
Thanks to the massive body part, there are a large number of opportunities for modernization. Bumper tuning will also revive appearance auto, giving it a specific emotional component.
If you install updated polymer fenders instead of factory fenders, this will not only improve the aesthetic component of the car, but also protect the elements that most often suffer from corrosion from corrosion. Tuning Grants Liftback with body kits will make the front end more pronounced and defined.
When tuning Grants headlights, most often users make a choice in favor of installing narrow headlights instead of wide factory ones. This adds a special aesthetic to the taillights, which have a streamlined shape.
Why replace the gas pedal
The gas pedal is an element that determines the efficiency of movement and driving comfort.
By installing an electronically driven pedal as part of the tuning of the Lada Granta Liftback interior, the driver will receive smoother pedal movements and high sensitivity to engine speed. This component will greatly simplify the movement due to the expansion of control capabilities.
Features of chip tuning
Chip tuning is more a matter of taste than a complete necessity. The original factory firmware of the electronic elements of the car is at a fairly average level, which does not allow revealing the full potential of the Lada Grant. The electronic control unit is sharpened for specific operating conditions, which are rather average and standard.
Preparation for changing the firmware should begin with the search for an adapter. It must match the connector that will allow it to become intermediate between the computer and the electronic control unit. In order to hold quality tuning, you will also need high-quality software.
Fortunately, you can find it on the Internet enough, but Combi Loader is best suited due to its compatibility with the type of electronic unit used in Lada Granta. For everything to go well, it is better to invest in the official version of the software.
Carrying out work on flashing. Effects
The Combi Loader also comes with an add-on module. In order to start the reprogramming process, you will need to remove the electronic module. After that, the wires are disconnected.
For correct flashing, you will also need a battery or power supply.
Each of the connectors of the electronic unit has a letter and a number that will be needed during reconnection. After the flashing occurs, if all the conditions have been met correctly, the motor will become many times more active. It is better to entrust such delicate work, without proper experience, to professionals.
Radiator Grille Replacement
The radiator grill is one of the external elements that are most often tuned. Before starting the modification process, it must be removed from the vehicle. This can be done with two different ways. The first requires additional removal of the front bumper, followed by unscrewing the nine nuts holding the grille in place and finding and snapping off the latches under the headlights.
The second method allows you not to remove the bumper, since it takes more time to dismantle it than to detach the grille itself.
The algorithm of actions in this case is as follows:
- in the upper part of the grille, with a 10 wrench, six bolts are unscrewed;
- the grate is bent at the place of twisting, a gap is formed there;
- in the resulting space, you need to feel for the remaining four bolts in the upper part and the nuts in the lower part, then unscrew them with an 8 key;
- using a screwdriver, the clips under the headlights are snapped off.
How arch extensions are installed
Wheel arch covers designed to visually expand the dimensions of the car and protect the body from polluting substances that fly from under rear wheels are fairly easy to install. Removal of lining for external tuning Grants Liftback is 90 millimeters.
The extensions have a universal size, and a building hair dryer is used to mount these elements in the wheel arches.
Improving the sound insulation of the cabin or the final stage of tuning
Some Lada Grant users complain about the low level of sound insulation in the cabin from outside sounds. In addition, a really strong sound will distract the driver's attention, which should be concentrated on the road, which is completely undesirable.
Conventionally, the materials most often used for soundproofing car interiors can be divided into three groups:
- Vibration-absorbing
- sound-absorbing
- Soundproof
Materials based on mastic or bitumen, such as Bomb or BiMast Accent - a material made of polyethylene in the state of Vibroton foam. Made of polyethylene, coated with bitumen
Standard - fabric coating Isoton - material based on polyurethane and plastic Barrier. The basis of the material is polyethylene in the state of foam
Vibroplast is a self-adhesive polymer material Bitoplast. Water resistant and long service life
Visomat - a material with a coating made of foil Splen - a material based on polyethylene, has an adhesive layer, which simplifies installation
Madeleine - sealing fabric material
Vibration dampening materials should be used for the metal sheathing of individual vehicle components.
The engine, transmission or suspension, with intensive use, after a while begin to creak and make noise due to the vibration generated during driving.
Vibration-absorbing materials often provide a reliable level of sealing, due to which the elements for which the material is used are not in danger.
Sound-absorbing materials have a porous structure, as well as low thermal conductivity, which should be taken into account when pasting interior elements.
Soundproofing materials are often used as an additional layer glued on the material that dampens the vibration.
Wheel tuning for Lada Granta
When choosing tires and rims for Lada Granta, it should be borne in mind that low-profile rubber has improved driving qualities compared to high profile. However, this rule only works in conditions of high-quality road surface.
For Lada Grants, wheels with a radial of 15, 16 or even 17 inches are best suited. You should choose based on compatibility conditions.
Conclusion
Despite the improvement in the external and functional characteristics of the car, tuning is still a matter of taste. Often drivers prefer to just not bother and drive on factory equipment.
There are also risk factors in the form of unscrupulous tuning companies, so that people who decide to diversify the functionality of their vehicle, this should be kept in mind.

Video - CHIP Tuning-LADA grant
No one dares to argue that the practical model Lada Granta sedan in the short period of its existence has acquired enviable popularity among the large army of domestic motorists. It cannot be argued that the car has reached the peak of perfection, although it is quite possible to eliminate the insignificant shortcomings present in it with your own hands. To do this, you will need to perform do-it-yourself tuning, which is popular today, which allows you not only to give Grant an individual charm, but also to adapt it to the needs of a particular owner.
How to improve the motor and accelerator assembly?
This is where chip tuning comes into play. The basic setting involves the implementation by the electronic control module of the average and optimal parameters of the engine functioning, which are loyal to the process of running the car. The modernization procedure involves the removal of the microcircuit from the computer and its reconfiguration. This event should be performed independently only if you have certain knowledge and experience in the field of programming. For the average owner of a Lada Grant sedan, such a specific procedure as chip tuning is not available, so its implementation should be entrusted to experienced programmers from specialized studios. If you correctly perform the firmware, then it is quite realistic to achieve a power increase in the range of 15-20%. There can also be an adjustment of the level of fuel consumption. This parameter depends on the software version.
Another significant point that can provoke increased attention from the owner is the accelerator pedal. The nominal setting of the unit is characterized by a “sluggish” response of the Lada Granta sedan engine to pressing the corresponding pedal. To achieve a sharp increase in speed, a deeper pedal sinking is required, but here again there will be a delay. This annoying feature can be minimized by tightening cable drive damper and adjustment actions with camshaft.
Suspension tuning secrets
Chassis Lada Granta sedan without much difficulty can be subjected to such things as do-it-yourself tuning. Initially, the design of the suspension assumes ride quality, aimed at achieving softness and comfort. This aspect will show its best side on the roadway. good quality. But in reality, the situation is different, and therefore the suspension of the Lada Granta sedan needs to be transformed.
The actions are not intricate, but consist in cutting one turn on each of the springs. The resulting rigidity is able to provide the car with previously missing stability. You can also replace the front suspension struts with those elements from Kalina. Due to the shorter length of the borrowed struts, they will provide a low fit for the improved LADA Granta sedan.
Tuning of exterior elements
It is possible to carry out the modernization of the appearance of the LADA Granta sedan at will, since the manufacturer endowed his offspring with a rather spectacular exterior, as evidenced by the photo. The paradox is that do-it-yourself body tuning is the most popular trend among owners predisposed to such art. Some hobbyists achieve complete unrecognizability of the appearance of their car by performing transformation operations. Bumpers are especially prejudiced, because the owners consider its exterior outdated. The design "Robot" is used more often than analogues due to the ease of fastening and modern appearance. The most progressive option can be considered a variation of the STM bumper. Comfort is guaranteed here. The design of the air intake involves the generation of an additional flow, which contributes to more efficient cooling of the motor and brake units, and it looks good in the photo. Landing sockets for head optics are equipped with an original design.
The rear bumper is less often subjected to such a thing as tuning compared to its front "colleague". Most owners are limited only to installing a spoiler. Some amateurs do not find use in this "accessory", but this is not true. spoiler endowed important function, as soon as the speed of the car approaches the maximum value. It allows you to concentrate and direct the oncoming air flow in the direction of the roadway, creating the downforce known to everyone. The production of the component is carried out by specialized studios. By purchasing a product, the owner is left only with the “obligation” to install it.
The standard grille in front of the radiator is not capable of boasting an effective protective ability. The situation is especially aggravated in the summer, when frantic flocks of insects torpedo defenseless radiator cells with furious fury. Avoiding this sad fate is very simple. It is enough to mount the grid between the ribs of the lattice. You can fix it with glue or clamps, which is more effective.
If we touch on interior tuning, then only the most demanding owners who want to stand out from total mass Grant holders. Initially, the manufacturer provided for his offspring a variety of trim levels, which implies the possibility of choosing a front panel, equipment options and upholstery. salon elements. But some subjects still rage over the regular interior and tend not only to replace the "native" upholstery, but also to install new seats.
Thanks to the impressive experience in the field of such a thing as tuning, which successful owners kindly share on the Internet (photos and videos), it is possible to identify transformation options that allow you to achieve spectacularity in the appearance of the interior and exterior with a fairly “sane” budget.
As an alternative measure, tuning can be used to upgrade LADA Granta sedan parts from other cars. The installation of such products has enough opportunities to transform your “swallow”, endowing it with originality. Fortunately, there are a lot of offers of analogue products on the market, which allows creative owners to do their own tuning Grants with incredible agility, achieving enviable results.
