Installing a V8 engine on a UAZ is the best option for a domestic SUV. It is worth noting that with the reduced motor, the car becomes passable and stable. Later in the article we will talk about exactly how the engine change occurs.

How to install on UAZ V8 (engine)

UAZ "Patriot", like other UAZs, requires additional "file processing" immediately after purchase. True, a large number of new car owners of a post-Soviet car are limited to a simple broach of all elements and the elimination of multiple "jambs" that are available in the factory assembly. But the most important problem of this car is the lack of a powerful diesel engine in the engine lineup. And what to change it to? A turbocharged Cummins diesel in this case is considered an excellent option.

As soon as the iron curtain collapsed, and second-hand foreign cars began to arrive in our country, self-taught people appeared in the Russian Federation who wanted to install an imported engine on, in general, SUVs, or rather, on the UAZ V8. "Patriotism" at that time did not even smell, since the victims of many, sometimes stupid, attempts were variousOises.

Their engine compartments were occupied by various engines, not only foreign ones, but also from Soviet trucks and, of course, buses - UAZ with a PAZ engine or an engine from GAZ 66th model - it was natural.

Popular engines for UAZ

The most popular were (and are considered to this day) diesel engines from the Japanese manufacturer - "Nissan", "Isuzu", "Toyota". And at the first Moscow car showrooms, various private manufacturers showed samples with these engines.

After some time, the number of experiments turned into quality, they created accurate, well-established copies of the V8 engines "dump" on the UAZ-469, and the company created an updated SUV brand. The comfortable and roomy "Patriot" was equipped (except for the domestic "gasoline") with an Italian turbocharged Iveco diesel engine. But this did not last long - the Italian engine was removed, equipping the car with the Russian diesel unit ZMZ-51432.

In our country, the UAZ "Hunter" is equipped with a V8 engine

The well-known domestic automotive blogger aGademeG showed in his video a special version of the UAZ "Hunter" SUV with a V8 engine. It was prepared by order of familiar automotive mechanics. An 8-cylinder engine from a Japanese manufacturer was installed in this car, which has a power of more than 300 hp. s.

Thanks to this engine, a Russian SUV can accelerate to 100 km/h in 7 seconds. These indicators gave him the opportunity to compete evenwith sports cars. During the creation of the sports version of the UAZ "Hunter", they took an old SUV, and the engine space was occupied by an 8-cylinder engine from the Toyota concern.

In the course of the improvement, car mechanics installed the maximum revving engine in the UAZ, thereby solving problems with the clutch, gearbox and shock absorbers (as they could break at high engine speeds). And yet, all obstacles have been resolved, and this car with a V8 engine went for testing near St. Petersburg. It is worth noting that along with the engine from Toyota in the improved Hunter, an automatic transmission was combined, and the car itself became rear-wheel drive.

ZMZ V8 Installation Instructions

There are known attempts to install V8 on UAZ. This seems to be quite acceptable to car owners. Since motors from gas engines of the 53rd or 66th or PAZ ZMZ 511/513 can be installed on a UAZ. Such engines are found in conservation and simply repaired. But there are also some incomprehensible situations:

1. One of the main ones is fuel consumption. There are many records that he is 10-12 liters on the road.
2. The next incomprehensible situation is heating. How to cool this car, at the moment there are few answers. Many motorists talk about the use of conventional copper cooling in UAZ.

What needs to be done to install a V8 engine on a UAZ 469?

• Drill holes in clutch cover.
• Remove the bells and drill holes in them for the UAZ V8.
• Nextcut threads for studs.
• It is advisable to cut down the front motor mounts and dock the motor with the gearbox.
• Before installing a new engine, remove the radiator and dismantle the old engine.

All motorists point out that after installing the ZMZ V8 on a UAZ, the engine works several times better than the standard one - it is more powerful, more practical and several times more resourceful.

What does the installation of a V8 engine on the UAZ "Patriot" entail

The well-known 53rd GAZ truck with a V8 engine (the latter has 8 cylinders) is still used today. This is a car with an excellent engine, which is also installed on the UAZ "Patriot". V8 engine from the 53rd GAZ, whose power is 115 horsepower, with good Hm. And, on top of that, it fits perfectly in place of the usual SUV unit.

To install a V8 on the UAZ "Patriot", you need to replace the exhaust system, "razdatka" and gearbox. After the V8 engine appears, the power of the car is felt, which is able to overcome not only off-road and various obstacles, but also snow cover. With the V8 unit from the 53rd GAZ, the car is also capable of high-speed progress along the road. The reviews available about the installation on the UAZ V8 indicate that the car is able to move on almost any terrain.

True, with this engine (V8) UAZ "Patriot" works a little louder, but, in principle, it should be so. In general, Russian-made engines are known for their practicality andefficiency, and therefore, having installed the described V8 unit, you can generally forget about the standard UAZ engine, since there is no need to return the standard installation.

Advantages and disadvantages of the car after installing the V8 on UAZ

Installation of the engine has both positive and negative sides. We will list them. Features available:

• Power along with snow revs give the car a much better ride.
• Operates a hundred times nicer than standard, with no vibration.
• On asph alt, the machine shows great power.

There are also some cons:

• Resonators from the 52nd GAZ are not suitable, so silencers should be installed.
• Loud sound at high speeds.
• The bridge may hit the pallet. But this, of course, is not fatal, and after installing shock absorbers, it ceases to be a problem at all.

In general, the reviews of car owners who have changed the engine advocate installation on the UAZ V8.

Tuning options for this car

UAZ tuning should be started with the technical component - the car's cross-country ability will depend on this. You can buy a three-liter engine. This unit perfectly copes with all duties, it does not need forcing. It is also advisable to equip the motor with iridium candles - they improve its performance. And for greater effect, you can bore the cylinders. Be sure to pay attention to how the unit is powered, and to the ventilation of the cylinders.

The point isthat ventilation has a significant effect on the performance of the motor. To fix it, you should put a snokel, which is displayed on the roof of the car, in case of overcoming a ford. In frequent cases, a standard motor is injected, after which the power reaches 130 hp. s.

You also need to redo the transmission - install a low main pair. This moment will increase its capabilities somewhat. In addition, it is worth doing a body lift by putting large wheels. As a result, after tuning the UAZ with a V8 engine will look amazing.

Once again about UAZ "Patriot"

It is worth noting that at the moment in the range of engines "Patriot" there is a gasoline naturally aspirated engine ZMZ 409.10, the volume of which is 2.7 liters, and the power reaches 135 horsepower. This is at 4,600 rpm. At the same time, peak torque is estimated at 217 Newtons per meter at 3,900 rpm. The same engine is installed on the UAZ "Hunter". On it, it is not bad at all, but for a heavy Patriot, traction at low speeds is definitely not enough.

The next option is diesel ZMZ 51432, the smallest thrust here is somewhat better. On bad roads and snow cover, the Patriot with this diesel engine somehow advances at the 1st reduced speed, and if you put large wheels and a bunch of other elements, it practically loses the ability to move off-road normally.

What needs to be done and where to stop

There is no comprehensive answer to this question. But it should be noted that inThe Moscow region nevertheless found an answer - they put a Chinese Cummins ISF 2.8 liter engine in the engine compartment of the Patriot. This is a turbocharged diesel engine with a good volume of 2.8 liters (though not very powerful - only 120.6 hp at 3,200 rpm), but it has an excellent torque peak of 295 Nm, which is available compared to the ZMZ diesel from 1 600-2,700 rpm.

An engine that copes well with the heavy Sobol, in which all-wheel drive was begging to be installed on UAZ.

Good value Cummins ISF 2.8L. It is also believed that it is quite common. In addition to the Sables, it is installed on gaziki and gazelles, and moreover, it can be without all-wheel drive. The low cost of a new engine, the availability of spare parts from domestic dealers and, of course, the ability to make repairs are also considered an advantage.

Following: diesel units from Japan, which are common for dumping UAZs, are aging, motorists have already finished off a large number of the simplest and most indestructible engines from Japan, and customs control does not allow the import of cars and engines.

Current installation problems and solutions

The biggest problem with mounting the Cummins ISF 2.8L. on the UAZ "Patriot" - a very deep, compared with standard engines, oil pan of this engine. During large suspension travels, the Cummins sump hits the front axle beam. In order to avoid this, the engine was placed on high pillows. In general, the developers managed to install this motor almost without muchlabor.

Well, a few words in conclusion

Assembling the "correct" diesel unit is only part of this project. UAZ Patriot, as the developers conceived, was supposed to be a versatile off-road vehicle that is perfectly adapted to various operating conditions - from the highway to the snow cover, as well as swampy terrain. Without a good increase in the size of the wheels, this cannot be coped with, and therefore the suspension was modified to be able to fit tires in thirty-five inches.

To do this, to the “lift” of the body, the suspension was also “lifted”, putting the Patriot rear axle from springs to shock absorbers, and also changing the rear drum brakes to disc brakes.

Well, in the process it turned out to be a very good all-terrain vehicle-SUV. As for the improvements, here the craftsmen did their best, and as a result, we see the UAZ Patriot, which is quite comfortable in many respects, which was finalized just fine.

What happened in the end, you can learn from this article and see the photos.

Some motorists install a Nissan engine. If, of course, finances allow, you can put a more powerful engine on the UAZ Patriot. The power of this installation is about 150 horsepower - this fact is considered quite acceptable. This is a diesel engine, it is also installed for an electronically controlled installation. But with manual control, the power becomes less - only 135 hp. s.

After changing the standard engine from Nissan, the domestic"Patriot" gets the following features:

1. The power is slightly increased. Now the Russian car is able to get out of any accident on its own, and pull out the same one.
2. Fuel consumption increases due to the increase in unit power.
