Engine oil for VAZ 2105. What kind of oil to pour into the engine, gearbox and axles for the winter in a VAZ

Since the procedure for changing the oil on all classic cars is practically no different, this procedure will be described using the example of the VAZ 2107-2105, but know that there is no difference. It is worth noting that the manufacturer strongly recommends doing this procedure at least once every 15,000 km. Although in fact, it is better to change the engine oil more often, at least once every 10 or even 7 thousand kilometers.

So, to perform this maintenance item, we will need:

• Canister of fresh motor oil, at least 4 liters in volume
• Hexagon 12
• Watering can or neck from a 1.5 liter bottle (optional)
• As well as a container for draining waste

When to change and how much oil to pour into the engine

The oil change on the injection VAZ 2107 is carried out in the same way as on the carburetor, i.e. every 10,000 km.

At the same time as changing the oil, the oil filter is also changed.

According to the instructions, you need to fill the car with 3.75 liters

oils But as practice shows, 4.0 liters will need to be poured into the oil filler neck, and the initial oil level will be close to the “MAX” value on the dipstick.

If the oil is changed in the cold season, then its level should be only slightly higher than o. This will allow the engine to warm up faster. In hot weather, on the contrary, the oil level should be at about. Since the volume of pumped oil in the system will increase, this will have a beneficial effect on the temperature in the engine as a whole.

What kind of oil to use for VAZ 2107

To determine the choice of oil for your engine, you need to consider several factors. For example, a lubricant with a viscosity index of 10W30 is suitable for a new or not yet run-in engine.

.
An engine with a mileage of over 40 thousand km
requires 10W40 or 15W40.
Depending on the ambient temperature
, if your car spends the night outside at temperatures below -20°C, then you will need SG-class semi-synthetic oil with a viscosity index of 5W30 or 5W40. Of course, such oils are not cheap, like for Zhiguli. But by and large, unscheduled engine repairs or replacing a battery that has not survived the “violence” will turn out to be much more expensive, not to mention the fact that the trip may be disrupted.

The use of synthetic lubricant on VAZ 2107 engines is not allowed, since its consistency has a destructive effect on the rubber parts in the engine.

Necessary tools and materials for oil change

To quickly and safely change the oil, use an inspection pit or overpass. In their absence, you can jack up the front of the car.

To change the oil you will need the following tools:

• hexagon to “12”;
• oil filter puller;
• containers for used oil with a volume of more than 4 liters;
• gloves;
• watering can;
• rags;
• canister with fresh oil – 4 l;
• new oil filter.

Suitable accessories:

semi-synthetic oil Esso Ultra 10W-40 (5 l) article number - 141896. Price about 850 rubles. Original Lada oil filter 21050101200500, its price will be 180 rubles. As an analogue, you can screw in: Bosch 0451103336 – 150 rubles or JS Asakashi C0065 – 150 rubles.

Prices are current for the summer of 2017 for Moscow and the region.

We drive the car into the inspection hole, find the oil filter, you need to remove it.

First, we grab it with a special device and tear it out of place, then it can be easily unscrewed by hand.

Keep in mind that oil will pour out of there, it is better to put something under it and do it all with gloves.

We take a 12 mm hexagon, find the required hole in the engine protection, insert the key and start turning it a little. Don't forget to place a container to drain the oil.

The oil has gone, let's let it drain.

Open the filler cap so the oil drains out faster.

Wipe the oil filter seat well and remove the old oil.

Fill the new filter with oil and lubricate the rubber.

VAZ 2107 began to be produced about thirty years ago. Initially, it was defined as a luxury version of the VAZ 2105, but was equipped with a more reliable and powerful engine. Until 2000, the car was produced from the assembly line with a carburetor engine, and after that it was equipped with such a mechanism as an injector. Many people think about the question of what oil should be used for the VAZ 2107 engine so that its production life is extended as much as possible. The answer is clear - you should use only oil that has been approved or recommended by the manufacturer. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the manufacturer’s recommendations will relate exclusively to quality standards.

Many canisters are marked as API SJ/CF or API SH. This is worth paying close attention to as it informs the potential buyer about the quality of the product being offered.

Indicators of the quality of a substance, which is determined in accordance with the abbreviations “API” is considered an abbreviation invented by the American Petroleum Institute. It determines whether the motor oil is made according to established quality standards. This compliance is determined by the following indicators:

• the number of possible deposits remaining on the surface of engine parts after the expiration of the intended period of possible operation;
• its washing ability;
• operating temperature levels;
• toxicity of the substance that must be poured into the engine;
• activity in the fight against adverse consequences in the form of corrosion;
• level of protection of internal parts in the engine from friction.

The abbreviations “SJ” or “CF” are deciphered as follows:

• “S” and “C” determine the category of engines installed in cars. Lubricants intended for pouring into gasoline units should be designated “S”, and substances for diesel engines “C”.
• "J" and "F" indicate the quality level of the oil's performance characteristics. The farther the next letter in the alphabet from the letter “A” is located, the higher the characteristic level indicator will be.

Tool

What you need to change the oil. Here's what:

• 12mm hex or 17mm wrench
• Watering can for convenient oil filling

• The container for draining the oil is an unnecessary old bucket, but intact.
• Oil filter puller

• Knife
• Screwdriver
• Rag

That's all the accessories. Let's start replacing!

Engine oil and its types

The operating instructions contain information regarding a possible list of recommended oils, which are intended for injection and carburetor engines. To understand, you should distinguish between two types of oil: mineral and synthetic.

Mineral oil, as a rule, can leave negative memories for the owner regarding its use in the winter. The VAZ 2107 is very difficult to start at temperatures above twenty degrees below zero. In such a situation, you need to heat the substance in a special way so that it becomes less thick. In other weather conditions, no disadvantages are felt. Therefore, you can use mineral oils, but you need to know their characteristics. If the car owner operates the car most of the time in difficult weather conditions, or in winter the temperature regularly drops below twenty degrees, it is better to abandon this type of oil.

Synthetic oil. This type can safely include both semi-synthetic substances and full synthetics. As reviews from car enthusiasts show, these types of oil have better parameters compared to mineral substances. Thanks to their properties, they lubricate parts better. This mainly occurs due to the addition of additives. With regular use, there is less engine wear. The temperature for using oil is quite high in winter. This makes it possible to operate the VAZ 2107 car in difficult weather conditions, at high sub-zero temperatures.

Domestic car maintenance: replacing lubricant

What kind of oil should be poured into the VAZ 2107

It is definitely impossible to create a whole possible and exhaustive list of lubricants that would be recommended to motorists. This is due to the huge number of existing manufacturers and the large number of varieties of oils. You should purchase goods exclusively in specialized stores that have extensive experience. This is due to the fact that large retail suppliers care about their reputation and will be able to provide a potential buyer not only with a quality product, but also with comprehensive information on how to make the right choice in favor of one or another type of oil. The most important thing is that it is necessary to fill in accordance with the required level of the temperature range and degree of viscosity.

Based on the experience of experienced car enthusiasts, as well as service station employees who have been servicing VAZ 2107 cars for a long time, we can give some advice to car owners:

• If there is a need to change the oil, you should pour into the engine crankcase the same brand of substance that was previously filled. A car of brand 2107 gets used, during normal operation of all components and assemblies, to functioning with a certain type of lubricant;
• If the main units in the car have not been replaced for a long period of time, you should not pour synthetic oil. This is due to the fact that it will actively promote the washing out of deposits that cover (in the form of a protective film) microcracks on the oil crankcase;
• If a new engine is installed in a VAZ 2107, it is recommended to use exclusively synthetic oils. It is this type of lubricant that can extend the life of the engine and will not lead to overheating.

How to quickly and correctly change the lubricant in a vehicle?

Synthetics are always better for your vehicle. But, most importantly, buy them in specialized stores. Regular use of synthetic substances will make it possible for the entire unit to work longer.

Motor oils for VAZ (Lada) 2101/2103/2106

for repair of VAZ (Lada) 2101/2103/2106

I recommend this oil because it is of high quality and the price is reasonable. After several years of use, there are no complaints; the engine runs quietly on this oil and starts perfectly. The quality of this company is consistently high!

Previously, they did a thorough overhaul of the engine, poured Lukoil Lux oil, changed 9-10 t/km, after a while they did a thorough overhaul again and everything was covered in resin. I agree to use our oils, etc., if they are made properly, they can do it well here, but alas, with us price comes first, and quality is far from good.

I have been using this oil for 6 years in a row and can confidently recommend it for use. The quality is top notch, there have never been any problems, it will definitely not let you down. I have only positive emotions, pour them in!

Last time I filled it with NGN PROFI 5w-30. Traveled 7200 km. During this time, a total of 2.2 liters of oil were eaten (holy shit).

It's time to change the oil. Based on the advice, I decided to try using Japanese oil - Eneos. Filled with 10W40. I drove out and heard a strange ringing sound from the engine, as if my fingers were ringing or I don’t know what. Mostly at idle.

I AM A SELLER OF SPARE PARTS FOR FOREIGN CARS - I DO NOT RECOMMEND FILLING THIS OIL. REVIEWS ABOUT HIM ARE MORE OFTEN BAD THAN GOOD SEVEN TIMES.

I change Xenum every 15,000 and everything is great.

The oil is just super, I change it every 17,000 km. Over the entire period of operation, all engine parts are clean, there is no carbon deposits and there is no need to top up. As for the winter period, there are no problems here either; the car starts in the most severe frosts. Overall a very good and high quality oil!

Oil change 02/18/17 Shell helix hx7 10w40. The flight is normal.

Xenum WRX 5W30 is the coolest oil, it does not burn and contains a very cool mechanical friction modifier. With it, oil consumption has decreased from a liter per 800 km to a liter per 4000 km, which completely suits me. I've already driven it for 22,000 km. The engine is quieter and turns easier.

And a little about the author’s secrets

My life is not only connected with cars, but with repairs and maintenance. But I also have hobbies like all men. My hobby is fishing.

I started a personal blog in which I share my experience. I try a lot of things, different methods and methods to increase my catch. If interested, you can read it. Nothing extra, just my personal experience.

Attention, TODAY only!

“Seven” from VAZ is one of the longest-living record holders in our automobile industry. Since the release of the first copy in 1982, it has not left the assembly line for 30 years. The model was positioned as a luxury version of the VAZ 2105 with a more powerful engine. Otherwise, the “seven” was distinguished by comfortable seats, a redesigned dashboard and a lot of chrome in the trim. Until 2000, the VAZ 2107 was equipped with a 1.5-liter carburetor engine, after which it was equipped with injection units of the same volume.

Engine life depends greatly on the quality and type of oil used. What kind of oil to fill in VAZ 2107

? The simple answer to this question is simple: “You must use the oil recommended by the manufacturer.” But this issue deserves more detailed consideration.

Mitsubishi cars

Next, let's look at what to pour into some cars of the Japanese company Mitsubishi.

Lancer 9th and 10th generations

The first among those considered will be the 9th and 10th generation Lancer models.

Let us immediately note that the Japanese, as always, recommend using only their own oils for their cars in their repertoire.

But in general, the conditions for selecting oil for such cars do not differ from the same VAZ, that is, you should select the oil according to viscosity and performance characteristics.

For Lancer of these generations, oils with viscosity according to SAE classification 0W-20, 5W-(20, 30), 10W-30 are suitable.

As for performance properties, you need a lubricant of classes SJ, SL (according to API).

In addition, the Japanese put forward one more requirement for oils poured into their cars - certification according to the ILSAC standard.

So, for Lancer you need oil with class GF-4 according to the specified classification.

If you choose from original oils, then Mitsubishi oils are suitable for these cars: DiaQueen, Lubrolene, Motors Genuine OIL, Diamont.

But it is quite possible to choose among analogues (Mobil, Castrol, Eneos), the main thing is that the classifications coincide.

For example, Eneos Super Gasoline SM 5W30:

The frequency of lubricant replacement is standard (15 thousand or once a year). As for the quantity, it all depends on the installed power plant.

On the 9th Lancer with engines up to 2.0 liters in volume, 3.3 liters are needed, and for a 2-liter unit – 4.3 liters.

For the 10th generation car, the situation is somewhat different: for installation on 1.5 liters, 4.2 liters are required, and on 2.0 liters – 4.3 liters.

Pajero Sport

Let's look at another model, namely Pajero Sport, but for variety we'll take a diesel version, for example, 2.5 liters.

For this car, you should select oils according to the SAE classification the same as for Lancer. But according to other standards it should be like this: API - not lower than CF, ACEA - not lower than B4, ILSAC - GF-4.

If we consider original lubricants, then the universal Mitsubishi Genuine OIL oil is suitable for Pagero Sport. But you can also fill in analogues - Mobil, Motul, Eneos, Ravenol.

The rated oil volume for this version of the SUV is 6.4 liters. Read here what kind of oil should be poured into the Mitsubishi Pajero automatic transmission.

Outlander XL

The latest from the Mitsubishi line is the Outlander XL crossover. The viscosity of the oil for this car should be the same as for the Lancer.

You can fill it with original Mitsubishi oil, as well as analogues. But other classifications must also be taken into account.

A crossover requires lubricants with an API class of at least SG, an ACEA class of A3 or A5, and it must also be certified by ILSAC, and its class must be GF-5.

As for the amount of lubricant to be poured, it all depends on the installed power unit.

For engines with working volumes of 2.0 and 3.0 liters, 4.3 liters of lubricant are needed, and for a 2.4-liter engine - 4.6 liters.

Classification of motor oils

The manufacturer's recommendations do not regulate the type of oil applicable to the "Seven" engine. Mineral, synthetic and semi-synthetic oil can be poured into the engine if it meets the quality requirements.

Motor oil canisters are marked (for example, “API SJ” or “API SG/CD”), which informs about the quality of the product. When choosing oil, this is what you should pay attention to.

The abbreviation API ( American
Petroleum Institute )
means “American Petroleum Institute.” This is an American non-governmental organization that provides regulation of issues related to the gas and oil industries. One of the areas of API's work is the development of standards and recommended practices for the oil and gas industry.

Motor oil is standardized according to the following indicators:

• toxicity;
• washing ability;
• corrosive activity;
• effectiveness of protecting parts from friction;
• the amount of deposits remaining on parts over the period of operation;
• temperature characteristics.

The letters “S” and “C” mean that the oil is intended for gasoline or diesel engines.

The letter after "S" or "C" indicates the quality of the engine oil's performance characteristics. The markings are in alphabetical order. The further the letter is from “A”, the better the characteristics of the oil.

Oil suitable for VAZ 2107 is minimum “API SG/CD”.

Note: the SAE methodology (type “5W40” qualifies oil only by viscosity indicators. This classification does not take into account performance characteristics and quality.

What type of oil to pour into the VAZ 2107

If we talk about what kind of oil to pour into the VAZ 2107

, “synthetic”, “mineral” or “semi-synthetic”, then the “seven” is most suitable for synthetic oil. As a compromise - semi-synthetic.

Synthetic oils are synthesized from different chemicals and have greater fluidity at low temperatures. This type of oil is insensitive to overheating and is more stable from a chemical point of view. Accordingly, the service life of “synthetics” is much longer than that of “mineral water”.

Semi-synthetic oil is a compromise between the quality of synthetic oil and the price of mineral oil. It is suitable for use in summer or in warm winter conditions. In severe frosts, it is better to use synthetic oil.

Thanks to additives, semi-synthetic and synthetic oils have advanced lubricating properties and significantly slow down engine wear.

How much oil is needed for a VAZ 2107 engine

According to the manufacturer, the amount of oil in the system, including the filter, is 3.75 liters. Taking into account waste compensation, a 4-liter canister of oil is enough to fill the system and top up during operation.

• When changing oil, it is better to fill in the brand that was used before. If the type of old and new oil does not match (for example, “synthetic” after “mineral oil”), it is better to flush the system after draining the old oil.
• Synthetic oil should not be used in older engines. Due to the increased cleaning properties of “synthetics”, it can wash away deposits that cover microcracks in the crankcase.
• It is better to fill a new engine exclusively with synthetic oil. This will prevent it from overheating and significantly increase its resource. Therefore, immediately after break-in, it is necessary to drain the oil filled at the factory and fill the system with “synthetics”.
• Regardless of the engine mileage, timely replacement of lubricants will increase its service life and increase reliability.

The far-fetched problem of choosing oil for the VAZ 2107 is not so difficult. It is enough to follow the manufacturer's quality recommendations and purchase the desired type of oil, based on operating conditions (cold or warm climate), engine condition and financial capabilities.

Many owners of VAZ cars perform service work themselves, which allows them to significantly save on vehicle maintenance. In this article we will tell you how to change the oil in a VAZ 2107 engine. It should be said that such work is not difficult, so every car owner can do it.

Methods for determining the need for replacement, filling volumes and expert advice

If an oil pressure sensor is installed on the engine of your car, this makes it much easier to determine the moment after which a scheduled lubricant change is required in the VAZ 2107 engine. To determine the exact moment, you need to pay attention to the lubricant pressure in different operating ranges of the power unit. Usually, when the lubricant decomposes, the VAZ 2107 oil pressure indicator (installed on all cars produced before 1988) shows an increase in pressure in the system during startup and long-term operation of the power unit.

This happens due to liquefaction and boiling of the lubricant in the crankcase of the power unit. If there is no oil pressure sensor on your car, then you will have to rely on the recommendations of the car manufacturer. AvtoVAZ engineers advise changing the lubricant in the engine every 6,000 km when driving short distances and every 10,000 km when driving constantly over long distances.

Many owners of classic cars are interested in the question of how much oil should be poured into the lubrication system of the power unit of their favorite car. According to the manufacturer, the volume of engine oil in the engine lubrication system is about 4 liters, or more precisely, 3750 milliliters, including lubricant in the filter. Expert advice.

1. When changing oil, it is better to fill in the brand that was poured into the engine crankcase before.
2. It is not recommended to fill old power units with synthetics, since it washes out deposits covering microcracks in the oil sump.
3. It is better to immediately fill a new factory engine that has been run-in with synthetics. In a good engine, synthetics are welcome; they will prevent it from overheating and extend its service life.

Regardless of how much your car has driven, if you change consumables and operating fluids on time, your car will delight you with its reliability for many years.

Why do you need to change the oil?

As you know, the engine is the heart of any car. And the heart cannot function without blood. In this case, the blood is motor oil, which lubricates moving parts and also cools various components in the engine.

Over time, such a lubricant loses its characteristics, becomes dirty and cannot effectively cool the engine, which leads to various serious breakdowns. To prevent such problems with the engine, the VAZ 2107 oil change should be carried out every 15 thousand kilometers. Moreover, if the car is used in the city, it is best to reduce the service interval to 10,000 miles.

What kind of oil should I use?

It should be said that most power units from the Volzhsky Automobile Plant are easy to maintain. Therefore, in this case, there is no need to use expensive synthetic oil. And at the same time, you should not skimp on the quality of lubricant.

It is recommended to use all-season semi-synthetic oil with viscosity parameters 10w-40. To perform this work, you will also need to purchase the appropriate filter element, which must be suitable for your car. The cost of such consumables is usually about 2000 rubles.

The 1.5-liter gasoline engine injector, which is installed on the VAZ 2107, contains about 3.5 liters of lubricant. You will need to purchase about 4 liters of oil, which can later be refilled when the car is used when it is burned out.

You can often read on the Internet or hear recommendations from VAZ 2107 owners to carry out the appropriate flushing of the engine with the injector when changing the technical fluid. We can say that such flushing is necessary only if the machine is operated in difficult conditions and the quality of the oil leaves much to be desired.

If such washing is carried out on a regular basis, the lubricant is washed out from hard-to-reach places, which invariably worsens the subsequent operating conditions of the engine. That is why we do not recommend that you flush the engine when replacing the lubricant in it.

Specifications

The power unit was installed on VAZ cars: 21023, 2103, 21043, 21053, 21061, 2121.

Step-by-step instructions for changing the oil

1. Before you begin directly replacing the technical fluid, you should warm up the car engine to operating temperature. After this, we drive the car onto an overpass or lift, turn off the engine and place a container with a volume of about 4 liters under the oil pan.
2. Open the hood and unscrew the filler cap, which is located on the valve cover, by hand.
3. Next, use a 12mm wrench to unscrew the drain plug, which is located on the engine sump. Proceed with extreme caution, as you can burn yourself on the hot lubricant.
4. We wait until the technical fluid has completely drained from the engine, after which we can begin further work. As a rule, this takes about half an hour. Remember that if you do not unscrew the filler cap, this will create increased pressure in the system, which prevents oil from flowing out of the drain hole.
5. The oil filter can be unscrewed either using a special wrench or a screwdriver, which pierces its body and acts as a lever, which allows you to unscrew the filter from the thread. Be careful as there may be a small amount of grease in the filter element. If you do not have a puller, you can try to unscrew the filter by hand. Just be careful, as you can get burned on a hot engine.
6. We screw back the drain plug in the oil pan and install a new filter element. It is necessary to pour a small amount of oil into the filter, and also lubricate the existing rubber O-ring. The oil filter must only be tightened by hand.
7. After tightening the drain plug and filter, you can begin to pour oil into the engine. This is done through the filler plug on the valve cover. Fill in about 3 liters and wait 5-10 minutes, which is necessary for the oil to settle and check its level with a dipstick. The oil level should be between the corresponding marks on the dipstick.
8. We start the engine, at this time the oil pressure light should light up, then go out after 5-10 seconds. The engine should run for several minutes, then turn it off and wait about 20 minutes.
9. We check the oil level with a dipstick, as well as the oil filter and plug for leaks. If necessary, add oil to the average level on the dipstick.

This completes all service work. Every car owner can perform such engine maintenance. At the same time, he will save several thousand rubles that he would have paid at a service station for such an oil change.

VAZ 2107 became the last rear-wheel drive car in the AvtoVAZ model range and was produced from 1982 to 2012. The sedan is a slightly modernized version of the five, but with improved engines and a modified interior. In addition to changes in the appearance and interior, one of the main differences from its predecessor at the beginning of production was the addition of a 1.5-liter engine with 77 hp. in the asset. Also under the hood are injection and carburetor units with an increased volume of up to 1.6 and 1.7 liters. The following is information about servicing power plants (what oil to fill and how much to fill).

At first, units with volumes of 1.3 and 1.5 liters were installed on the model, and since 2008, a 1.6-liter modification producing 73 hp was also available for customers to choose from. In 2001, the manufacturer introduced two versions of the seven at once: 21070 and 21074. The difference between them was only in the engine: the first ran on a 1.5-liter engine, and the second on a 1.6-liter engine. The modification of the VAZ 2107 with a 1.7-liter unit was quite exotic and was mainly intended for export. The transmission everywhere is only manual with 4 or 5 steps depending on the year of manufacture.

At different times, the seven were assembled at different factories: Russia, Ukraine, Egypt, Argun and the Chechen Republic. In just 30 years, more than 3 million cars rolled off the assembly line. Compared to the Five, this model was favorably distinguished by modern and rich equipment, a modernized instrument panel and increased comfort for the driver and passengers due to the installation of ergonomic chairs and seats that take into account the characteristics of the human body. It is noteworthy that the offspring of the legendary “penny”, developed using the technologies of the distant 60s, is still quite in demand on the used car market for tuning or simply as a budget vehicle.

Tuning a penny engine, or as they also say, boosting the engine of a VAZ 2101, is a risky business, taking into account what is written above and taking into account the general wear and tear of the engine, if this does not stop, then let's go... first, let's look at it from the point of view of increasing the engine displacement. This is the most affordable method to improve your engine, increasing power and torque throughout the entire range. We will also describe the option of installing sports camshafts, boring cylinder head channels, compressors, etc. in detail below. But given the fact that your engine is a used 2101, hanging too much on it is fraught with consequences. To increase the power of the VAZ 2101 engine, let's start with cars produced in 1970-1974; they are distinguished by the ability to install Niva pistons with a diameter of 82 mm from the VAZ 21213 Niva, thanks to the thick-walled cylinder block. To prevent the compression ratio 2101 from sagging (a puddle in the pistons 21213), you need to take Niva pistons with a flat bottom or lighter pistons 2112 and cut off the displacer from the pistons. With a standard stroke of 66 mm, the engine volume will be 1.4 liters. We will get an increase in power, but the engine itself will be very high-speed. The increase in engine volume of the VAZ 2101 produced after 1974 is somewhat different; in order to save metal, the cylinder block became thin-walled, the maximum possible piston diameter is 79 mm from the VAZ 21011 or 2105. The piston stroke is increased to 80 mm. implemented by installing a crankshaft from a VAZ 2103 and connecting rods with a reduced center-to-center distance (129 instead of 136) or installing pistons with a reduced compression height, produced by TRT. Disadvantages of short connecting rods - the angle of inclination of the connecting rod, the greater the angle of inclination, the greater the force it presses the piston against the cylinder wall, the resistance to movement increases, lubrication conditions worsen, the cylinder walls wear out, the connecting rod works under greater load (especially in the center of the connecting rod), engine reliability 2101 is decreasing. Among the advantages, we note a good cylinder filling rate at medium and low speeds, a more homogeneous mixture, and improved combustion. The disadvantages of TRT pistons are their lower strength compared to standard VAZ 2101, thermal load on the ring and the likelihood of piston burnout. Increased piston stroke to 84 mm. VAZ 2130 crankshaft, as well as use TRT pistons, connecting rods shrink to 134 mm.

Boring of VAZ 2101 engine

The crankshaft and boring of the VAZ 2101 engine will give you the following volumes: - larger diameter piston, standard stroke 1.3 liters. 79x66 (cylinder diameter X piston stroke)

64 hp Maximum torque is about 95 Nm at 3400 rpm We get an analogue of the 21011 engine - a larger diameter piston, a standard stroke of 1.4 liters. 82x66 (until 1974) Such VAZ engines were not produced in series; there is little information about the construction of such engines. This is explained by the fact that in order to adequately use such a motor, you need a reinforced bottom, forged pistons, selecting the desired top shaft, etc., plus everything needs to be properly configured. The maximum speed of the correct configuration is more than 9000 rpm. The resource of such an engine is about 20 thousand, depending on operation. — standard piston, increased stroke 1.5 liters. 76x80

70 hp Maximum torque is approximately 105 Nm at 3000 rpm Analogue of the VAZ 2103 engine on a low block. This option is the answer to all questions about how to improve the VAZ 2101 engine. - larger diameter piston, increased stroke 1.6 liters. 79x80

75 hp Maximum torque approximately 115 Nm at 3000 rpm Analogue of the VAZ 2106 engine on a low block. - larger diameter piston, increased stroke 1.7 liters. 82x80 (until 1974)

80 hp Maximum torque

125 Nm at 3200 rpm The configuration repeats the engine from the Niva 2101 on a low block - a larger diameter piston, an increased stroke of 1.8 liters. 82x84

80 hp (before 1974 onwards) Maximum torque

135 Nm at 3000 rpm The 2103 engine is more suitable for this volume
