What can be improved in the process of tuning the VAZ 21099

Engine

If you modernize the power unit, it becomes more powerful and more demanding in terms of material investments. In fact, these production engines, especially if they have a direct injection system, are considered very good, they are distinguished by endurance and good traction characteristics. It will be useful to carry out chip tuning 21099 to quickly change the standard calibrations of the engine control system. This will allow you to adapt to your driving style, which will be as comfortable as possible.

There are many firmwares for the “ninety-nine”, but it is better to opt for the “Sport” or “Economy” mode, which are considered the most effective. The first is suitable for people with an aggressive driving style and those who do not need to save on fuel, while the second saves from 5 to 8 percent on gasoline. The reprogramming itself lasts no more than a few minutes, but the point is to contact a qualified car service center.

The difficulties of the native automotive industry lie in the large weight, reciprocating and rotating parts. Due to their large mass, other parts and mechanical elements wear out faster. Their weight needs to be lightened. We are talking here not only about replacing valves, connecting rods, and replacing pistons. You can replace the flywheel and thereby reduce the weight of the crankshaft. This stroke allows the engine to become more dynamic, dips disappear with increased power and speed, and the engine responds more quickly to closing and opening the throttle. The wear resistance of other parts increases.

A car is, first of all, an engine, and secondly, a chassis. In Soviet cars, the chassis was reliable and unpretentious. But imperfection was also presented in her, well, as they say, flaws are the key to future merits. But all these “jambs” are quite insignificant and can be easily corrected on your own. For example, a common problem is often the breakage of the corkscrew ring. It needs to be changed periodically and this can be done independently without the help of specialists. Some car enthusiasts turn to technicians at service stations because they have no idea how to remove a grenade in order to get a deformed corkscrew ring and replace it. The task is not easy, and if you don’t know how to get it, the part can be completely broken and cannot be repaired. But the easiest way is to divide it into components and extract it in parts. After the grenade is back inside the groove, you need to be careful that with minimal touch the part may fall out. The reason is that they did not install a new corkscrew ring to secure it.

The chassis can also be improved by replacing the clutch; such work can also be done independently. First, the clutch itself and the gearbox are removed. The clutch includes four parts: the driven and pressure plate, the spring diaphragm and the clutch flywheel. During such an upgrade, difficulties may arise: the driven disk may jump out of the flywheel and thus the part can be damaged; you need to monitor this. You need to use a screwdriver especially when removing the housing fastening and unscrewing the bolts to block the flywheel. After dismantling, you must carefully inspect the disc and flywheel for chips, deep scratches or wear. Naturally, this needs to be done if only part of the clutch is being replaced, and not installing the entire system.

Headlights VAZ 21099

Tuning Moskvich 412 will make the old car cool

Tuning VAZ headlights is a great way to give your car a new and aesthetically beautiful appearance, and at the same time improve the quality of driving at night. Standard headlights use conventional parts with filaments, which is why drivers have to look for and replace light sources with halogen or xenon lamps. Xenon, as a rule, is an excellent option, but it has not been used for a long time due to the ban according to GOST, and simply because they blind the cars in front. It is best to use GT series lamps, which are installed on racing cars. This light source has a luminescence of 4000–5000K, while it is focused on the section of the road that the driver should see, and does not spread over the entire area. Cars coming towards you do not experience any discomfort from such a glow. Xenon lovers don’t have to worry, but rebuild the headlight box for a new glow. We are talking about making angel eyes, or rather, installing 5 sockets in a circle, and using xenon lamps of lower power. This creates a favorable and even glow on the road, and the car itself takes on a very attractive appearance.

Another improvement to the headlights is the installation of anti-fog components on the rear of the car. There may often be a lot lying around in the garage and perhaps a shortage, but one fog light is for sure, and it can just be used to solve the problem. To install additional lighting, you only need a short length of wire and a relay with a chip. It is better to take the installation location on the left, since it is on this side that the driver is located and this way he will have a better view of the illuminated parking area.

Tuning the interior of the VAZ 21099

ECU VAZ 21099 injector

You can make the VAZ 21099 the fastest and most powerful by changing all the parts in the engine and installing new equipment on top, but people always look at the appearance of the car and the condition of the interior. I would like to note that tuning the interior is quite expensive, but after finishing the tuning, drivers often do not have any regrets about the work done. There are a whole lot of ways you can update your car from the inside. Perhaps you need to start with the plastic basics, and this applies not only to the front instrument panel and glove compartment, but also to the plastic panels installed on the doors. You can buy new panels from the manufacturer specifically for this car model, but it is best to simply cover the plastic panels with chrome or vinyl film. The panels will need to be dismantled first, which is quite difficult. If you cover plastic with leather material, then first you will need to cut out a pattern, but this is quite difficult to do so that the material lies evenly and does not bunch up in waves. Therefore, it is better to use chrome film, which is easy to apply. The front plastic is very difficult to dismantle, so it is better to paint it. You can paint the panels completely, or you can create contrast. To do this, you need to cover areas that are not recommended to be painted with newspaper or, better yet, film. It goes without saying that the work is not for beginners, but it can still transform the car.

The interior of the car is being updated gradually and we cannot forget about small details, for example, the steering wheel trim. The steering wheel, very quickly due to constant friction with your hands, wears out and loses its beautiful former appearance. There may be three methods to fix a problem like this. First of all, you can simply remove the old trim and cover the steering wheel with new material. It is advisable to choose leather that can withstand not only constant contact with your hands and high temperatures, especially in summer, when the sun's rays break through the windshield. You can simply buy ready-made covers for the steering wheel, which are tightened with laces and practically nothing of the old material is visible, but the central part remains uncovered and can create an unpleasant contrast for the eye. There is a third method and the most expensive one, namely, completely replacing the old steering wheel with a new one. The problem is that new steering wheels are cheap, but they are installed only in services, which means you have to fork out more.

It goes without saying that there is also an internal covering, such as the floor, ceiling, and armrests. Working with these parts must be done in the same style as with the panels. That is, you can dismantle all the parts and repaint them or cover them with fabric, and you can choose the most ordinary fabric, because the roof of the car is not subject to much mechanical stress. During roof repairs, you can install a heating system. This is useful to do if children often ride in the car, and in winter it is no secret that it is quite cold in the car.

For those who don’t really want to spend money on tuning the interior of a VAZ 21099, but still the old and worn design is already starting to hurt the eyes, buying universal covers for the car is suitable. Universal covers have few advantages, since they are made of ordinary and low-quality fabric, but due to the low price, people can afford to replace the material every year.

Suspension tuning

External attributes, which include voluminous body kits, spoilers, and various types of lighting, do not have any effect on speed. The condition of the suspension is directly related to the driving performance of the car. Based on this, suspension tuning is simply necessary. This is especially important for Russian roads. It is necessary to install single- or double-pipe gas-oil shock absorbers shown in the photo. They are able to enhance the car's stability and controllability.

When purchasing gas-oil shock absorbers, you need to carefully compare the dimensions and technical characteristics of new and old ones. You should also replace the springs in the suspension with springs with a progressive characteristic. They differ in that they have coils of varying degrees of hardness. Due to this, the spring works differently at certain degrees of compression.

After replacing the suspension, the next step is to replace the factory-installed stamped steel wheels with alloy wheels. Such elements will not only improve the appearance of the car, but also perform several important functions:

• They will reduce the pressure on the suspension units and thereby increase their service life.
• Will increase service life;
• Increase the degree of controllability of the machine;
• Extend the life of rubber.

To truly realize these features, you need to choose alloy wheels from time-tested manufacturers.

You can also replace any elements in the car interior. There are no special requirements for change. Often such tuning emphasizes the individual requirements of the car owner. You can replace the steering wheel, dashboard, install more modern speakers, change seats and upholstery.

Front panel and instrument panel

When you start to get tired of the classic style of the car interior, and at the same time it has long been faded and outdated, it needs to be updated or replaced

The first thing you need to pay attention to is the dashboard of the car, which most often falls into the driver’s field of vision. There is, of course, the easiest option in terms of time, namely buying a new instrument panel and its subsequent installation, but as practice says, this is a costly matter

You can update an old instrument system with your own hands, and this will not require large investments. Nowadays there are a lot of stickers, equipment for creating a new tint, and just the work is easy to do. The first step is to dismantle all the devices on the panel. The work will be carried out using the example of a tachometer.

First, remove the flaring of the tachometer rim, followed by removing the glass. Next, you need to remove the arrow, and here difficulties may arise with standard equipment, where the arrow often sits quite tightly. If after two minutes you cannot remove the arrow with your hands, then you do not need to make any effort to avoid bending or breaking it, but it is better to spray a small amount of WD-40. After this, the arrow will become pliable. After the work has been done, all instrument panels need to be left alone and start looking for stickers. Naturally, you can buy them at the market, but you can also make them yourself. All you need is a good printer for printing.

Those skilled in working with image editing programs can improve a pre-downloaded photo. The printed sticker is installed using glue, but it is better to use a waterproof adhesive due to the frequent penetration of moisture under the instrument panel glass. After the entire procedure, you can finish the work or continue and install a new backlight, replacing the standard lamps with LEDs. There is one secret that allows you to make the LED light non-directional and diffuse, which makes it look much better on the instrument panel, and at the same time does not distract the driver while driving. To do this, the heads of the LED lamps are cut off, and transparent glue is applied in their place. After checking all the equipment, the instrument panel is installed back in place.

We tune the carburetor

The work to modify the carburetor is as follows:

• To begin with, it is worth removing it from the car, since only after dismantling it will be possible to carry out a complete disassembly and make changes.
• The next step is to divide the structure into upper and lower parts. To do this, unscrew the clamps. After disassembly, it is recommended to wash the structure and blow it with compressed air. Contaminants that may have accumulated inside will significantly complicate the work.
• The first element that requires improvement is the axles, which protrude greatly. There is no point in such a large overhang; at the same time, they create additional resistance. The problem can be solved by grinding the surface. For this you can use small files and sandpapers.
• Next, we dismantle the axle and air damper. It would be useful to mention grinding down the damper, which will also significantly reduce the resistance in the system. Grinding is carried out in a similar way: we use needle files and fine-grained abrasive.
• The above work was related to the top part. Next we move on to finalizing the bottom. To do this, we analyze all the elements, take out the throttle valves and axles.
• When considering the lower part, we pay special attention to the throttle valve axes. As in the upper part, in the lower part they protrude strongly outward. Using a file, we make them round; it is advisable to hide the screw heads, as they create additional resistance. To do this, you can use screws that have cone-shaped caps. The drowning of the cap is carried out by using a drill and a drill bit, with which you can drown the structure.
• Next, we reassemble the dampers.
• Casting errors are often encountered in the area of ​​small diffusers of the carburetor body. Defects are represented by sharp corners and sagging. It is recommended to achieve a "wing" shape as it has better aerodynamic capabilities.
• Almost all modifications include the installation of a pump drive cam No. 4. You cannot change an installed cam yourself, and the cost of a new one is low.

Such modifications can significantly improve the performance of the carburetor.

Tuning the interior of a VAZ 21099 with your own hands, step-by-step video instructions

Today, car tuning has become quite popular. Domestic cars, which are commonly called classics, are most often subject to modernization. A car like the VAZ-21099, which is popularly nicknamed the “ninety-ninth,” is no exception.

We cannot ignore the fact that the cost of tuning a car of this brand will not be very high. This is because most improvements can be made using available tools and creativity. But even if the necessary parts have to be purchased in specialized stores, the unusual interior design, as well as the updated characteristics of the VAZ car, can well recoup the investment.

How to tune the interior of a VAZ-21099

Externally, upgrading the car will not be too difficult and the manipulations performed in this direction will not hit the wallet too much. So, the appearance of the car can be significantly changed by modifying the following elements:

• doors;
• optics;
• radiator grille;
• hood;
• wings.

As for the interior, tuning here can also be done quite quickly and simply due to the simplified structure and, of course, the interior layout.

How to do engine tuning

There are two ways to modernize this part of the car:

• carburetor update;
• re-flashing the injector.

The first option requires improving the fuel supply system through a mechanical unit, namely a carburetor:

1. It is necessary to install a throttle body or diffuser of more updated models.
2. Carefully remove the springs located in the primary chamber on the throttle valve actuator.

This kind of carburetor tuning significantly increases air flow, allows the engine to “breathe,” and significantly improves its dynamics and power characteristics.

The second option involves the purchase and installation of a special unit - a controller. This device is a software carrier. Thanks to this, it is possible to increase power, torque and, of course, dynamics.

Carrying out tuning of the VAZ-21099 suspension

It is necessary to update the VAZ suspension according to the scheme known to many car enthusiasts:

• high-quality installation of two-section shock absorbers;
• replacement of transverse stabilizers;
• installation of updated brake discs;
• installation of an updated hub;
• the product of replacing the hinges with spherical ones;
• carrying out the suspension lifting procedure by installing advanced versions of springs.

In addition to the above actions, it is also recommended to lift the rear of the car using shims provided for standard springs.

Salon tuning for VAZ-21099

This procedure conventionally consists of two stages:

1. Replacing the seats with new ones/upgrading the standard front ones. For example, installing a heating system, covering it with high-quality modern fabric.
2. Updating the interior trim. Such innovations are easy to make on your own or by purchasing a new set in ready-made form.
3. Installation of shaped carbon inserts (you can choose wooden, plastic, chrome, etc.) on the side panels of car doors. Thanks to this, the inside of the car will look more representative and luxurious.

Finally, it is worth drawing the attention of readers to the fact that tuning the interior of a VAZ-21099 on its own is more of a creative process than a technical one. Here you will need to show a lot of patience, accuracy and precision in decisions in order to end up with high-quality tuning that can make a proper impression both on the car owner and on strangers

Modification of an installed carburetor

Despite the fact that more advanced designs have been made since the appearance of the first carburetors, they still require significant modifications. Typically, modification to an installed carburetor involves smoothing the surface. This is due to the fact that various irregularities cause an increase in resistance. As resistance increases, the efficiency indicator decreases significantly. Also, irregularities cause air turbulence, and for this reason the degree of enrichment of the mixture decreases.

If desired, you can change the carburetor yourself, since the design is collapsible. In addition, you can install another carburetor.

External and internal tuning of VAZ 21099

VAZ passenger cars, modification 21099, are very popular and in demand in Russia, despite the design being almost 20 years old. Since the 90s, these models have been subject to tuning. But, unfortunately, at that time the range of styling products was very small, so out of everything possible, only new long fenders and a hood cover were installed. Such configurations sometimes looked ridiculous, they were also called “collective farm” tuning, but today the situation has changed dramatically. The range of such products has increased tenfold, and now motorists can professionally change the appearance of their car without the help of specialists. In today's article we will look at how styling and tuning the interior of a VAZ 21099 is done.

Refinement of appearance

Since Soviet times, motorists have called all cars of the “ninth” family (and even eight) “chisels” because of their characteristic appearance. But, despite all the exterior features, it is quite possible to bring the “ninety-nine” a little closer to the “Ferrari”. To do this, you will need to purchase a lot of plastic body kits and new illumination. And now - in more detail about all this.

Initially, you should take care of installing the bumpers. It is advisable that they have a large air intake - this way the car will not overheat in the summer.

Inserts for LED strips and space for towing hooks are welcome. An aluminum mesh can be placed on the radiator grille (or instead of it). In order for it to be successfully combined with the air intake, it is best to buy both parts as a set. By the way, it is not only beautiful, but also cheap. It is advisable to change the optics to an alternative one. There are plenty of such parts in our markets and stores. Ventilation openings can be made in the hood. This also has a positive effect on engine cooling during hot weather. Thresholds can be replaced with wider ones. But the tint should be selected carefully: install films with a light transmittance of no more than 40 percent, otherwise you may be stopped by a traffic police officer.

Tuning a VAZ 21099 is not complete without painting the body. It is best to do this after purchasing and installing all the trims and bumpers. This process is quite complex, so it is best to entrust the work to professionals. By the way, if you find rust on the body, do not rush to paint - first remove traces of corrosion. Metallic color is by far the most popular among tuning enthusiasts. Additionally, you can order airbrushing on the hood. This will also make your car unique.

VAZ 21099 — interior tuning

Refinishing the interior is no less difficult a process than painting or installing body kits. First of all, you should take care of additional sound insulation. When performing salon tuning of the VAZ 21099, do not forget about other things. A new steering wheel and a modern Europanel will add elegance to the car. Installing a subwoofer and replacing seats is also an integral part of such a process as tuning a VAZ 21099. And all the work can be completed by installing a different door panel trim.

As you can see, tuning a VAZ 21099 is not only beautiful, but also exciting. Thanks to the improvements described above, you can transform your car as much as possible!

Cost of tuning equipment

Depending on what exactly the owner of the VAZ-21099 decided to change in his car, the final price of tuning will be determined. The main replacement elements are presented in the table with approximate costs.

Thus, you can independently replace the equipment in the car, which will improve not only the appearance, but also significantly increase the technical characteristics of the car. The appearance directly depends on the desires and financial capabilities of the car owner.

External tuning ninety-nine

The VAZ 21099 has been out of production for a long time, so there is no need to talk about tuning a new car today. This car is available only on the secondary market and almost always, one way or another, it turns out to be subject to tuning. How successful this tuning was, the ninety-ninth model is selling so quickly and profitably.

The new owner of the 99th model is often faced with the need to “tweak” everything that the previous owner has done. I must say that there are not so many successful examples of tuning this car. The bulk of the alterations are in bad taste and handicraft. However, you should not judge harshly the owners who are trying to improve the car with their own hands.

So that your “ninety-nine” does not look like thousands of poorly tuned sisters, you need to think carefully about the future design and the means of its implementation. It is most likely not advisable to give a far from new domestic car to professional tuners. It will cost much more than the car itself.

First of all, you should review (fortunately, there is such an opportunity) all tuning options for the VAZ 21099, and select several dozen of the most successful ones from them. Next, you need to highlight the five most impressive options and think about whether you could improve any of them. But it’s best to come up with your own design, keeping in mind the most successfully implemented projects.

Let's be realistic! Of course, no one is going to invest several thousand dollars in the “ninety-nine” just for fun. Tuning this car is all about making it a little nicer than it actually is. The maximum that is worth going to is widening the arches, which will then allow the installation of wider wheels.

The wheels alone can give the 99 a modern and attractive look. To support them, you can choose an interesting body kit from those available in the range. Next, it is recommended to choose a striking paint and find a unique shade.

The most spectacular paints are metallic, pearl and xeral.

When tuning the 99, you should pay attention to the painting. At this stage, the body is perfectly aligned, rust is removed, and excessively large gaps are eliminated

Ninety-nine body parts are inexpensive, so they are sometimes easier to replace than to repair.

If you have to deeply tune the VAZ 21099, then it is better to paint the car after complete disassembly. If you paint it in a spray booth, the quality promises to be better than the factory one. Complex paints are coated with several layers of varnish, which maximizes the potential of particles of metal powder or xerallic.

Before assembling the car after painting, you should soundproof the interior. Using high-quality materials, you can make the 99 very quiet inside, when neither oncoming traffic, nor engine noise or the rustling of your own tires will force you to raise your voice when communicating with passengers.

Engine tuning

Most domestic cars have many flaws that reduce the power of the engine and chassis. So, for example, the thermostat can work great while driving to cool the engine, but as soon as the heating system turns on, the operation of this device immediately goes out of control. In this case, problems arise with engine overheating, complete failure of the vehicle, or wear of parts. The thermostat can be adjusted a little after first understanding the cause of the problem. When the heating system is turned on, the heating fluid and coolant are mixed, causing the cooling level in the thermostat to drop. This has a particularly strong effect with the onset of frost when the coolant already sinks to the bottom of the container. The best option would be to install a pipe where the thermal element is located in the thermostat. In addition, you will need to close the hole in the water pump. This will allow you to control the incoming liquid when the heating system is turned on. After these changes, you can notice that even at elevated interior temperatures, the temperature in the engine will not exceed 78C, and this is optimal for its operation.

In production, it is often possible to replace, as defects are allowed when installing, the alternator belt, or, more simply, the timing belt. This makes the engine less powerful and also significantly reduces driving safety. In order to fix this problem, you need to replace the belt with a new one, and you can do the work yourself. The main thing is to avoid the common mistake of bending or twisting the belt, which significantly reduces its service life. At the beginning of work, before removing the generator belt, you need to remove all parts that prevent its dismantling. These are the steering pump, belt pulleys and air filter. After this procedure, the generator belt is removed, having previously unscrewed the two bolts that hold it, and the work is carried out in the reverse order when installing a new part. It is recommended to carry out the work only with knowledge of the matter, so as not to damage the crankshaft mechanism when removing the timing belt.

We resort to serious processing - boring the cylinder block

You can also increase the engine power by boring the cylinder block. Due to this, the volume of the combustion chamber increases, which means that a larger amount of the fuel mixture is placed in it. When choosing this method of modifying an installed motor, the following points should be taken into account:

• Increasing the volume of cylinder blocks does not lead to a significant increase in fuel consumption.
• This work can only be carried out if you have certain experience and equipment.
• When changing the design, one should take into account the fact that the walls of the cylinder block become thinner. At the same time, the design has channels for the cooling system. Therefore, attention should be paid to the calculations performed.

Boring a cylinder block yourself is possible only if you have the required equipment and certain skills. The surface must be strictly cylindrical and free from significant defects. Otherwise, the engine will begin to wear out quickly.
