Today, the GAZ 24 Volga car has a lot of advantages. Firstly, it is spacious and comfortable (at one time it was the best among the representative cars of the USSR). Secondly, it is very easy to maintain. Thirdly, the Volga is attracted by the availability of spare parts and their low price. However, at the same time, GAZ 24 also has disadvantages. Basically, they consist in weak dynamics and a not very attractive interior. And in order to make this car a real muscle car, which was the legendary Ford Mustang in the 60s, car owners improve the Volga by tuning. How to do it? Find out in our article.

Engine Tuning

GAZ 24 was equipped with an old and low-power engine manufactured in Ulyanovsk. Its power is clearly not enough to provide the car with normal acceleration dynamics and a frisky ride. Therefore, to make it more high-torque, motorists have to go to various tricks. Chip tuning immediately cross outof the refinement methods, since in the 60s of the last century they did not even dream of any electronics and ECUs. There is a more realistic way, thanks to which you can boost the GAZ 24 engine - carburetor tuning.

So, first we need to reduce the leverage of the system. To do this, turn this mechanism 180 degrees. In this case, the throttle I of the chamber will become an inlet valve. After that, you can pay attention to the jets. Regular mechanisms are immediately changed to more productive ones. You can also perform a number of locksmith work and increase the engine capacity. To do this, the cylinder head is bored. It is impossible to do this on your own, if only because this work requires special equipment, skills and knowledge. Therefore, before doing tuning on GAZ 24, take care in advance of choosing a specialist who will bore the block. Also, do not forget about the piston group. It is best to replace regular parts with forged ones. These pistons are much lighter than standard pistons, which contributes to a lower drag coefficient.

What will we get as a result?

Thanks to these actions, it is possible to ensure that the Volga in 4th gear will reach a speed of 150 kilometers per hour. The dynamics will increase significantly, but fuel consumption will not (or only by 5-10 percent).

GAZ 24: interior tuning

And now let's move on to the interior. First of all, we pay attention to the finish. It should be replaced with a new one. Here, two paths open before the motorist, or rather, twotuning option. The first is the restoration of the previous properties of the GAZ 24 cabin. Tuning will consist in the reconstruction of all elements of the skin, seats and plastic.

Thus, your salon will not be overloaded with unnecessary elements and modern "bells and whistles". The second way is to change the interior design to a more sporty one. Here you will have to work on elements of neon lighting, on the replacement of seats, door cards and trim. Many fans of sports tuning are advised to install carbon-look parts. You can also mount an on-board computer and change the steering wheel to a more sporty one.

Improve your GAS 24! Do-it-yourself tuning is not only an exciting, but also a very productive process.
