What is the power of the VAZ-2114 engine

One of the important factors when buying is engine power. Although the VAZ-2114 is not a sports car and cannot compete with various foreign cars in terms of horsepower, its power plant is enough to move comfortably. This car model is still attractive and in demand for many. It is suitable for business or family people. Excellent VAZ-2114 copes with the need to transport goods or pull trailers.

What engines were installed on the VAZ-2114

The very first engine used on the VAZ-2114 was an injector with 8 valves and a volume of 1.5 liters. It is one of the most common on this car model, as it has been installed on the VAZ-2114 for 6 years. Their series was designated: VAZ-2111, units with it had a rather modest power of 77 "horses".

In 2007, the production of the "fourteenth" models was modernized, which gave motorists an updated engine. It had 16 valves and a larger volume - 1.6 liters. The series of this motor is VAZ-11183-1000260. In addition to more modern characteristics, this power unit has received the Euro-3 environmental standard. At the same time, the power of the engines increased only in 2009. The first versions of this engine were with 77 hp. s., and then their strength increased to 89.

In 2010, the VAZ-2114 again received a new engine. It had 8 valves and a volume of 1.6 liters, exactly the same was installed on the Priora. A significant refinement of this motor helped him reach 98 horsepower. Many motorists were interested in why modifications with 16 valves stopped rolling off the assembly lines. The need to change the power plant was associated not only with an increase in power, but also with the fact that when the timing belt broke in the previous model, the valves were bent.

What all power plants have in common is that they use the same fuel injection system.

Before entering the cylinders, the fuel passes through the nozzles in all modifications, and the installation is cooled with a liquid. Well, the last similarity is that all units are four-stroke.

Major engine malfunctions

All modifications of the VAZ-2114 engines have a number of characteristic breakdowns. The most common are:

1. Floating engine speed at idle. Most often, this problem occurred on new cars and was corrected under warranty. The cause is most often malfunctions in the operation of the throttle position sensor, idle speed controller or vacuum unit.
2. The same reasons lead to the fact that the car stalls while driving. An additional problem in this case is the incorrect operation of the mass air flow sensor.
3. During operation, the power unit troil. First you need to measure the compression in the cylinders, if one of them is low, the cause is a burned-out valve or head. With the same difference in compression, problems are hidden in the pressure settings of the valves or their gasket. If there are no deviations, then it is necessary to check the ignition module.
4. The lack of heating to operating temperature (from 87 to 103 degrees) is due to a faulty thermostat.
5. Noise in the engine appears due to unadjusted valves. If it increases at the moment when you put pressure on the gas, then you need to check the bearings of the connecting rod mechanism or the pistons of the cylinders.

If it seems to you that the power plant has lost power, then you should look for other symptoms. It is they who will tell you why it does not develop speed and does not meet the declared characteristics.

The main mistakes that are made when tuning

Many people try to add power to the engine, but at the same time they make typical mistakes. Leading among them are:

• installation of cutters in garage conditions (this work requires high accuracy);
• use of unnecessary and expensive spare parts;
• lack of suitable firmware for a sports camshaft or other elements.

Before buying expensive spare parts, you should pay attention to the recommendations of the masters. They created a list of useless components:

1. A receiver with an increased volume is good only at medium and high speeds, but for operation in the range from 1000 to 2500 rpm, a standard spare part is more preferable.
2. The zero filter, called the "chandelier", is a rather useful addition, but you will have to constantly clean it with special chemical compounds. This will increase the cost of maintaining the car.
3. The oversized throttle body does not increase power too much, since there is always enough air for the motor.

There are ways to increase power that do not require large investments or technical precision. Here are examples of such tuning.

Tuning an injector with 8 valves

To increase the power from 77 to 96 horsepower of the very first engine of the VAZ-2111 model, you need to do:

• boring of valve seats along the inner diameter;
• boring of the necks of the channels for the installation of duralumin plates and the dissolution of the springs by 1.5 millimeters;
• replacement of regular valves with lightweight ones;
• groove of guide bushings made of special brass;
• installation of a split timing gear;
• use of imported valve crackers;
• narrow-phase shaft installation.

The tuning shaft has an inlet of 70 degrees, and an outlet of 66. Its opening angles are 250 and 246 degrees, respectively. After completing the work, it is necessary to install engineering firmware and carefully configure the motor parameters. Only in this case, after turning on all the sensors, the engine will start to work normally.

A split gear is best used on non-plugged motors. For installation, it is necessary to carry out the work in almost the same way as when replacing the timing belt, that is, make marks, disassemble the mechanism, and set the crankshaft. After installing the new gear, pay attention to the 4th cylinder. If the valves in it are not open to the maximum, in which case you will need to loosen the external screws and set the camshaft, after which you need to tighten the fasteners.

Increase in engine power VAZ-11183

The motor of this modification cannot be modified without changing the ECU. From the factory, it was equipped with the M74 block, which needs to be replaced with Yantar 7.2. It is also necessary to abandon the e-gas function, because of which the receiver and throttle assembly will have to be replaced. Borrow the intake tract from the modification of the 2111 motor, and replace the electronic pedal with a standard cable one.

The Yantar controller has already been tested by time and works fine, but only if you have not replaced the camshaft. You can put the part with the parameters:

• release phase - 104;
• intake - 109 degrees;
• for release, the opening angle is 272;
• inlet - 268;
• valve travel - 9.5 / 10.1 (inlet / outlet) mm.

After that, you can pass the limit of 90 "horses", but you have to sacrifice reliability. If you want to increase the power of the power plant, remember that this reduces its service life. With proper care on a stock engine, you can go over 250 thousand kilometers, and on a tuned one there is no guarantee that the mileage will exceed 120 thousand. You carry out all work at your own peril and risk. You should not start them without having the necessary knowledge, because in this case you will have to overhaul the power unit, which will require additional investments.
