Installing a turbine on a VAZ will increase engine power, its presence is an indispensable condition for high-quality tuning. But there are many factors to consider when installing this device. You will have to improve several components of the car at once. In particular, it is necessary to strengthen the body, install new brake mechanisms, and install elements to ensure the vehicle's lateral stability.
Where tuning starts
If you have purchased a car, especially a used one, the first thing to pay attention to is the condition it is in. In the event that you are well versed in its device, you can completely disassemble it into small screws. Only in this case it is possible to fully consider all the elements of the body and assess their condition. The main problem that most motorists face is the presence of rust. Everyone is subject to itbody parts, but especially fenders, underbody, sills.
Body problems
On cars of the 8th and 9th VAZ families, the TV is also a problem. On domestic cars, especially on Zhiguli, rather thin metal is used. Unless, of course, this is not the first six releases. Therefore, if you increase the engine power, high loads will act on the body and the metal will begin to break.
And it doesn't matter if the body is in good or bad condition. Therefore, before tuning, it is necessary to install a new body iron. And all the metal that is in the engine compartment should be replaced with a more durable one. Only after all the work to improve the body can proceed to further improvements.
Which engines are easier to turbo
Even if you plan to improve the car of the "classic" series, it is better not to be lazy and buy a 16-valve prior engine. Fortunately, now there is no need to arrange the installation of a new engine through the traffic police, since this element is a spare part. The advantage of installing a 16-valve engine is that it is much easier to repair, tuning is also carried out without difficulty. But the most important thing is that it initially has very high power, much higher than on any other Lada car.
Yes, and climb into the design of the engine, adjust the clearances in the valve mechanism, adjust the UOZyou don't need anymore. Please note that carbureted engines cannot be turbocharged, no matter what anyone says. The essence of the operation of the turbine is that it pressurizes the intake manifold and creates a pressure of air that enters the combustion chambers with fuel.
If you put a turbine on a carbureted engine, it will simply stop working. Eight-valve fuel-injected engines can work, but they have a lot less power, and if you value every horsepower, then this is a significant minus.
What else is required for tuning
Before installing the turbine on the VAZ, you need to decide what total power you want to squeeze out of the engine. If you want to get more than 200 horses, then you need to find a block from Kalina. It is 2.3 mm higher than the standard one. You can use an engine block from a 10 family car, but this will significantly reduce power.
It is imperative to install the crankshaft from the car Lada Kalina. The diameter of the crank mechanism is 75.6 mm. Be sure to use forged pistons, and carve a recess in them that will allow you to achieve the required degree of compression. It is recommended to contact a competent specialist to make these notches, or purchase ready-made products in tuning stores.
Turbocharger selection
You can make a turbine at the VAZ with your own hands, but this is a very difficult task, so it’s better to overpay a little and buy a finished unit at least in the secondary market. It should be noted that the small turbocharger only worksat low and medium speeds.
As soon as the crankshaft speed increases, the turbine turns off. Large turbochargers, on the contrary, work only at high and medium speeds, while at low they turn off. There are several popular models:
- TD05 made by Mitsubishi. The boost is set to 3 thousand revolutions, it allows you to squeeze out 250-300 liters. s.
- TD04L manufactured by Subaru, boost set at 3 thousand rpm, power 200-250 hp. s.
- IHI VF10 this turbocharger is significantly larger than the Subarovsk one, it allows you to squeeze out 250 horses and more.
There are many Chinese turbochargers, they are of very poor quality, but the price is acceptable. The price of a turbine for a VAZ in the secondary market varies widely - from 5,000 rubles to several tens of thousands.
How to cool down
When upgrading a car, it is necessary to install new elements in the cooling system. You will need a two-row type copper radiator. It is used on VAZ-2110 cars. It performs much better than other radiators.
Try to use a normal sized intercooler. If it is very large, then there will be a turbo lag problem. This is the case when a long time elapses between opening the throttle and building up boost pressure. But a very small intercooler will not be able to cool the air properly.
Features of the fuel system when working with a turbine
Even if you install a homemade turbine on a VAZ, you need to completely revise the entire fuel system. A return line and a fuel mixture pressure regulator are required. You can use an external regulator, but it must be connected with a vacuum hose to the receiver installed behind the throttle.
Standard fuel pump is clearly not suitable, as it has a very low performance. It is advisable to use a gasoline pump from Volga, Gazelle or Walbro production - it has a capacity of over 255 l / h.
The nozzles that are installed on the engines also need to be removed. Try to use only instances that are designed to work in engines with more than 200 horsepower. A great option is electromagnetic nozzles manufactured by DEKA-630CC. All work can be done independently, but if there is no desire to do this, then any service will provide you with all possible assistance.
Setting the turbine operation
A simple electric turbine at the VAZ will be able to increase power, but only slightly. The use of mechanical turbochargers will be much more efficient. The turbo engine is tuned using a wastegate. The pressure in the fuel system will be the greater, the less it is vented into the atmosphere. It is advisable to use special designs of boost controllers to adjust the pressure level.
With the help of this simple device, you can set the necessarypressure. With it, the safety valve installed on the manifold does not release pressure. Therefore, it is gradually increasing.
It is imperative to "reflash" the electronic control unit, as the engine operating modes will change significantly. It is advisable to entrust this work to experienced specialists, otherwise the incorrect operation of the engine will affect not only power, but also the consumption of gasoline and oil. In addition, all engine components can wear out hundreds of times faster than with normal settings.

Which of the car owners did not dream of increasing the power of their car? Everyone thought about it. Some would like to add 10 horsepower, others - 20. But there are those motorists who want to increase the capabilities of the car as much as possible. Their goal is the maximum increase in torque with a minimum budget, which means that a powerful engine from another car can no longer be installed. This means that there are only two options left to increase the technical characteristics - a compressor or turbine installation
