Young people of today begin their automotive experience not with a "classic penny", because they want more modern and reliable cars. But, the financial capabilities of the majority of young people are not so great that they immediately get behind the wheel of a foreign car, and therefore most novice car enthusiasts buy themselves a "ninety-nine". And if it is injector, then we can assume that it is lucky.
Specifications
VAZ 21099 has a fairly high technical and design characteristics. At the same time, the engine is enough for 150+ thousand km of run. It all depends on the manner of driving and service.
Let's consider the main technical characteristics of the motor installed on Sputnik vehicles. The VAZ 21099 injector engine received a modification with the marking 2111/2114.
All injection-injection vehicles were equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Service
Maintenance of the engine, in this case, does not depend on its volume and power, since the design features of the carburetor and injector did not differ much, except for the injection system. So, consider the procedure for carrying out maintenance of the power unit 21099.
Since the engines ceased to be produced in 2011, the technical scheme will be given for the power unit, which has undergone a major overhaul.
TO - 1. It is carried out after 1000 km of run. According to the recommendation, in this service it is worth changing the oil filter and power unit oil.
TO - 2. Conducted at 10,000 km. Here, not only the lubricating elements, and the fuel filter are replaced.
TO - 3. After 20,000 km of run, it becomes necessary to adjust the valves, replace all the filters that are available, and also diagnose the engine for leaks. It is also recommended to measure the compression and adjust the valves. Do not forget to change the oil.
TO - 4. This maintenance checks the elements of the gas distribution mechanism, the water pump, the clutch. Also, in addition to the standard procedure for changing the oil and filter, the valve cover gasket is also changed. This MOT is done with a run of 30 thousand kilometers.
Subsequent maintenance is carried out according to the scheme 2-5 of the technical card described below. Do not forget that untimely maintenance of the power unit can increase the wear of the internal elements, as well as reduce the engine resource.
Repair
Do-it-yourself repair of the power unit. As practice shows, most motorists carry out this process in their garage. Items such as thermostat, water pump, spark plugs and high-voltage wires can be replaced without problems. As for the nozzles, you will need a special stand to clean them, which is available at car services.
To reduce the consumption of fuel consumed, the engine control unit can be flashed. This is what motorists do. This operation can be performed independently, but it is recommended to contact professionals who understand the process, and also carry out additional adjustments.
Carrying out a major overhaul will require some constructive knowledge and skills to repair the engine. So, for grinding the plane of the block and the head, a surface grinding machine is required. Also, a boring and honing stand is required for boring cylinders. All other operations are done by hand.
Output
The VAZ 21099 injector engine is a reliable power unit, which is loved by motorists for its constructive simplicity. Servicing the motor is not a problem. And the cost of consumables is so cheap that even students can afford such a luxury.
VAZ 21099 became the last model of the Samara family cars. Having received a sedan body, Lada 21099 no longer has any differences from its predecessor - "nine". For 15 years of production, the model has been modernized several times, but it has always been popular and in high demand among domestic motorists.
Cars of this brand still occupy one of the first places in sales in the secondary market. Despite the fact that the car was discontinued in 2004, its number on our roads is still large. In this regard, one should recall the technical characteristics inherent in the VAZ 21099 and consider in detail the features inherent in this vehicle. You should also consider the carburetor and injector, engine specifications.
Car body overview
The 99th was produced with a sedan body, which made it possible to eliminate one of the shortcomings characteristic of the VAZ 2109, throwing mud at the rear window. In general, he is very ascetic, which was typical for all domestic cars of that time. However, it was the sedan that allowed the designers to achieve the greatest possible load on the body as a whole. And the question arises, how much does the car weigh at the moment? However, the weight of the car has practically not changed compared to its predecessor - the weight is 950 kg.
The overall dimensions also remain the same. The exception is the length, which has increased by 200 mm due to the rear overhang. The body design remained practically unchanged for all 15 years of production, and the technical parameters of the VAZ 21099 injector also remained the same. This explains the great popularity among auto-tuning enthusiasts. Like all previous models of this family, the car's interior originally had a so-called low panel.
The instrument cluster in the early 99s had a more modest package. Subsequently, the car was equipped with a panel, the overall dimensions of which not only made it more capacious in appearance, but also made it possible to place the speakers of the speaker system in it. At the same time, the squeak in the car has become much more, this is noted by almost all motorists.
The vehicle's ground clearance is 15 cm. This is quite enough for a comfortable ride on domestic roads. Of course, this is less than that of crossovers and especially SUVs, but the weight of the 99th is much less. The ground clearance of the machine can be increased slightly by using larger diameter discs. However, this should not be abused - the car's handling deteriorates.
VAZ 21099 has a roomy trunk, and the dimensions of the body allow you to carry loads in it, which has an impressive weight. But in order to put everything in the luggage compartment, you first have to raise them to a decent height.
Engine types
The first VAZ 21099 was equipped with a 1.3 liter carburetor engine. However, a lot of shortcomings, the main one of which is the bending valves when the timing belt breaks, led to the replacement of this unit with a 1.5-liter one. With it, the technical parameters of the VAZ 21099 carburetor improved markedly, and malfunctions began to occur less frequently. The power unit allowed the car to accelerate to 100 km in 13.5 s with one passenger and in 15 s if its weight was close to maximum.
The power of the car is 70 liters. with. Fuel consumption is about 6 liters. The engine is single-row, the cylinders are combined into a common block, which increases rigidity and reduces dimensions and weight. If the belt breaks, the valves on it do not bend. In 1997, the first car was produced with a multi-point injection engine. This power unit turned out to be so successful that it still forms the basis of all the engines of the Volga plant.
How the technical parameters of the VAZ 21099 injector changed after the engine was modernized, we will consider below. The engine has a displacement of 1,500 cc and an 8-valve design. Of course, all over the world this was not something advanced for a long time, but one should not forget that in Russia it was the first experience with an injection engine. The designers of the plant managed to create a unit that could be put on the car without additional alteration of the VAZ body.
At the same time, the technical characteristics of the VAZ injector practically did not change, the weight of the car and the ground clearance remained the same. It is worth noting that on some models, the ground clearance still became slightly less due to the use of a neutralizer. In the car 21099 injector, the power specifications have increased. Now it is 81 liters. with. At the same time, it was possible to achieve fuel savings - about 10-15 percent.
According to the owners, injection greatly facilitates starting the engine in cold weather. At the same time, in their opinion, the car lost its maintainability. In injection engines, a mixture of gasoline vapors and air is forced into the cylinders. This process is controlled by a special device - an electronic control unit. The designers of the plant did not invent it, but took the finished one. Initially, a block from GM was used.
However, in 1999, preference was given to the Bosch ECU. In addition, the domestic device "January" was used on the car. All ECUs provide an injector on the VAZ 21099 with technical parameters of approximately the same level and they are used not only on cars of the Samara family. If an injector is installed, the technical characteristics of the car's engine are as close as possible to European environmental safety standards.
The VAZ-21099 Sputnik / Samara Forma model is a four-door sedan of the Volga Automobile Plant.
The VAZ 21099 model has been produced since 1990. "Ninety-ninth" is, in essence, "nine" with a four-door sedan body. The final model of the "Samar" family differed from its older sisters in overall length, which, due to the increase in the rear overhang, increased by 200 mm in relation to other cars of the family. In this model, the original radiator lining, hood and front fenders were made without a plastic "mask", and the interior was distinguished by a new panel (popularly called "high") with a tachometer in the instrument cluster. Subsequently, these decisions passed to the entire Samara family. Before the release of cars of the LADA 110 family, this model was the most prestigious and popular. Advantages and advantages of VAZ-21099 cars, as well as all models of the "Samara" family: high speed qualities, good handling and stability on various types of roads. Additional advantages are provided by the 3-volume body with a spacious trunk.
VAZ 21099 is a front-wheel drive sedan with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. Model VAZ-21099i with an economical 1.5-liter engine with distributed fuel injection (injector) that meets international standards for the toxicity of the exhaust system. The equipment of the panel includes the original instrument cluster, illuminated switches that provide electric control of the power windows and door locking. The on-board monitoring system notifies the driver about the operability of individual vehicle components. The new dashboard comes with a tilt steering column. More comfortable seating of the driver and passengers will be ensured by the use of new seat padding material and height adjustment of the seat belt anchorage points. The installation of fog lamps optimizes the lighting performance of the vehicle in inclement weather. VAZ-21099 retains its dignity regardless of external circumstances. Positively responding to the tightening of environmental requirements, and striving to increase comfort for its potential owners, the plant installs on the VAZ-21099 a more economical engine with distributed fuel injection that meets international standards for the toxicity of the exhaust system with a neutralizer.
Since the start of production in different years, modifications have been produced with carburetor and injection engines with a working volume of 1.3 liters (VAZ-210993) and 1.5 liters (VAZ-21099). The following versions are provided for cars with carburetor engines - "standard" (VAZ-21099-00), "norm" (VAZ-210992-01) and "luxury" (VAZ-21099-02), for cars with distributed fuel injection - "standard" (VAZ-21099-20), "norm" (VAZ-210992-21) and "luxury" (VAZ-21099-22).
Currently, the VAZ-21099 is still considered one of the most prestigious domestic models and is still highly regarded on the market as the most convenient and now familiar and practical car. Suffice it to say that on this, in principle, a city sedan, you can still regularly go to the country. The VAZ-21099 price, which is already initially high for a domestic subcompact car, hints that the car is not intended for transporting goods to the market. But for the representatives of the "middle class" (especially those affected by the crisis) "ninety-ninth" is just an excellent option. The car is quite representative, versatile (the back of the rear seat, albeit not in parts, leans back, allowing you to transport long loads). Moderately decent domestic upholstery materials available for the plant do not scare away "our" consumer with their imperfection.
However, given the model's rank, be prepared to overpay! If it is "Sputnik" VAZ-21099 - pay a little less, if it is a re-export Samara Forma - a little more. If the seller is young, and his car is covered with stickers and stuffed with toys, like a mini-market showcase, then it is better to evaluate not so much the age and wear and tear of the car as its possible criminal past (the model has long been the leader in the country in terms of hijacking). Re-export Samaras on the market must be equipped with an exhaust gas catalytic converter (beware of leaded gasoline!), Which has been installed since 1993. Among all the versions of the engines, the most preferable will be the standard 1.5-liter 70-horsepower carburetor, the repair of which, thank God, has been mastered by car services. However, due to the prevalence of the VAZ-2108 and VAZ-2109, the 1.3-liter 64-horsepower carburetor engine is still very popular (its only significant drawback is the danger of bending the valves when the camshaft drive belt breaks). As for the expediency of the newfangled fuel injection system and its repair, doubts still remain due to the high cost and unreliability of the electronic unit, which controls this injection. Although, it must be admitted, the prevalence of spare parts for the injection system (at least in the capital), as well as the possibilities for its repair, are steadily growing. The advantages of injection in comparison with a carburetor - stability of operation, efficiency and environmental friendliness - are obvious. Moreover, more and more cars with an "adapted" injection system without a neutralizer have been entering the domestic market recently, which makes it possible to operate it on leaded gasoline.
"Sharp" steering, so typical for all cars of the first front-wheel drive generation of VAZ (also called "chisel"), on "ninety-ninth" is somewhat blurred by the greater roll of the elongated sedan in turns. Rigid suspension is no worse and no better than that of many foreign cars. Therefore, ride comfort is not the best that this car has. However, the seats are soft, the ceiling is also, and everything else is made of rubber and polyurethane foam, so this sedan among all compatriots is also safe inside ...
As opposed to the VAZ-21099, for utilitarian purposes, one can consider the five-seater five-door VAZ-2109F "Shuttle", originally intended for the transportation of small consignments. However, due to the low carrying capacity (two people and 300 kg of load), the car is perfect as a family car to the country. The car is made on the basis of a hatchback, so the list of standard equipment is almost the same as the VAZ-2109 and VAZ-21093. The roof height of the plastic top is 1900 mm. Coupled with front-wheel drive, which allows good road holding, this car in terms of consumer qualities stands head and shoulders above the Izh-2715 vans.
Vaz 2109 with a maximum speed of 150 km / h will be the topic of this article. The fact is that on the VAZ 21093 the maximum speed is different and it all depends on the modification and engine size.
We will give a brief overview of the car, give its advantages and disadvantages.
Acquaintance
VAZ 2109 is a front-wheel drive car. Unlike its fellow tribesman, the "eight", the "nine" is seen as a more solid and stylish car.
The presence of five doors already speaks in favor of a car, an ideal option for a family man. Vaz 2108 is more in high esteem among singles (this explains the passion for tuning on the "eight" for the sports version).
Note. Despite the less expressive appearance, the Vaz 2109 did not escape the fate of being called a "chisel", in view of the characteristic wedge-shaped body contours.
Peculiarities
Important points regarding the "nine":
- Since 1987, the Vaz 2109 began to be produced, but there can be no talk of a successful exit yet;
- The so-called "successful" modification of the car was produced only in 1990. Naturally, the price for it is already different, higher;
- The uniqueness of the new modification of the VAZ 21093 is given by a separate segment of the front end;
- As for the interior of the cabin, in this regard, the car is made better than its predecessor: it is equipped with a more stylish one, endowed with a tachometer and even a trip computer.
Note. The on-board computer on the VAZ 2109 reminded of a key left, forgotten in the lock, unfastened seat belts, and so on.
- The most significant change between the modifications concerned the dynamic performance of the engine. Fuel efficiency improves, but this does not in any way affect the power and maximum speed, which increase several times (on the first modification of the VAZ 2109, the speed was 148 km / h, and now it is 156 km / h);
- The standard "nine" was equipped with a 1.3 liter 4-cylinder carburetor power unit. The engine power was 65 hp. Loaded at full "nine", it could accelerate to a hundred in 18 seconds, and the maximum speed was 156 km / h;
- A new restyling took place after the 97th year, when instead of a 1.3-liter engine, they began to install a 1.5-liter one. This unit was already producing 72 hp. and he had the best overclocking result.
Note. In the future, this version has already become standard. Unless a new version appears with an injection unit, but again a 1.5-liter one.
If the maximum speed of the "nine" does not suit
According to statistics, the majority of Russians today own domestic cars. It is easy to explain this alignment.
Our cars are practically unpretentious and practical. They do not require expensive spare parts, but can be produced by yourself, even in an open field, without helpers.
"Nine" is one of the most popular models of the domestic auto industry. Many of the drivers decide to carry out engine forcing, chip tuning, as they are unhappy with the maximum speed that the car opens.
How you can give drive and speed to the "nine", we learn from the instructions below:
- First of all, you need to investigate the car. Perform general cleaning by examining the body, trunk, interior. The fact is that extra rubbish can in no way help in building up a car's speed. This really interferes with movement and reduces dynamic performance.
Note. As for minor defects on the body, which do not directly affect the speed, over time they can develop into global corrosion, which negatively affects the supporting structure.
- Further it will be necessary to investigate the condition of the tires. The fact is that low speed is caused by insufficient tire pressure.
So, if they are lowered, the motor has to develop a completely different power, more. The power unit of the "nine" is no longer working as usual, but to overcome obstacles.
All this negatively affects not only the maximum speed, but also on.
Note. It is also recommended to upgrade the vehicle's suspension. In particular, if you install gas shock absorbers, then they will cope with their duties much better.
If the driver often drives in urban conditions, then it is reasonable for him to put shortened springs, which will certainly affect the decrease in ground clearance, and this, in turn, will increase the speed.
- You can make the best acceleration of the vehicle if you tackle the checkpoint. The box of the VAZ 2109 is far from ideal, that's for sure, and no one argues.
Large gaps between gears are observed, interfering with normal technical acceleration. In this case, a complete gearbox bulkhead can help, with the subsequent installation of a sports camshaft.
Note. As you know, the row in the sports camshaft is shorter and such an upgrade will significantly reduce the gap between high-speed gears (especially between 1st and 2nd). However, there are also disadvantages. In particular, it will become more difficult to drive uphill on a VAZ 2109 with an installed sports row than before.
- The engine must be given maximum attention. In this case, it will need to be finalized.
So, an increase in speed can be given, for example, by a properly tuned carburetor or a general modern firmware of the control unit of the power unit. In addition, it will significantly increase the speed and installation of the turbo kit.
Note. There will be no problems with the installation of the turbo kit, since today turbines are sold in every large car dealership and there are plenty of them. You should be aware that turbines differ in boosting power and it is not worth installing a turbine with increased power on the "nine", due to the weak body, which cannot cope with such a load.
Turbocharging the engine
Today this procedure is becoming more and more popular. In numerous magazines, on the forums, this issue is constantly discussed, many ways are proposed how to do this, including assembling a turbine with your own hands.
As a result, the overall capabilities of the motor increase, the speed increases.
In fact, turbo tuning is an increase in the power indicators of a standard power unit, which occurs due to the installation of a so-called turbo kit. Turbocharging is a special type of tuning aimed at enhancing the main driving force of a car.
This same turbo kit can be installed on any engine, including the VAZ 2109.
The process of installing a turbo kit is as follows:
- A set of specific and standardized components is mounted in the "interior" of the car: a turbocharger, an intrecooler, an exhaust manifold, and so on;
- After the engine is modernized, other parts of the car are also tuned, such as the chassis, gearbox and so on;
- It is imperative that changes are made to some of the suspension mechanisms, since no specialist will be able to predict the behavior of the car when cornering after the tuning has been carried out.
Compressor and its installation
To strengthen the engine, a compressor can also be installed on the VAZ 2109. This is also a popular way to increase power. A mechanical supercharger, as the compressor is called, is suitable specifically for VAZ models.
Note. As in the case of a turbine, tuning by installing a compressor is not carried out without a general process. In other words, it is imperative to approach the installation from an integrated point of view.
Compressor or turbo
Among the tuners of the power unit of VAZ models, the choice almost always falls on the compressor, since this method is much easier to implement.
Here are some of the features:
- In some cases, it will be possible to increase the engine power even with minimal engine modifications, which in the case of turbocharging is simply impossible;
- The compressor has a drive that will connect directly to the crankshaft. Thus, the compressor is able to pump air into the cylinders at the minimum speed of the power unit, without delay, and increase the pressure in strict proportion to the engine speed.
Note. Many compressors do not even require intervention in the standard lubrication and cooling system, as in the case of a turbine installation.
- The turbine increases the supply of BT mixture, and this, in turn, increases the efficiency of the engine. But such a revision is not cheap, it has many difficult moments. Just installing the exhaust manifold and tuning the turbine is worth it.
Note. In addition, the turbine itself will need a constant supply of oil under pressure, and this negatively affects the engine.
- The compressor is devoid of such disadvantages. It is for this reason that it is popular with tuners;
- Interestingly, both devices are similar in principle of operation, however, the turbine operates under the influence of exhaust gases, and the compressor is driven directly from the crankshaft (more on this in detail above). It turns out that the compressor is much more efficient than the turbine even at low speeds due to the dependence of pressure on the speed of the power unit.
Note. The compressor has its drawbacks as well. In particular, this is a slightly lower suspension power, compared to what the turbine gives, less efficiency at high speeds and higher fuel consumption.
Compressor installation by experimental method
The compressor can be installed in two ways: experimentally and by purchasing a Kit-kit.
The experimental method implies the following:
- We take some kind of compressor from a foreign car (it must be suitable in terms of indicators and technical characteristics);
- Takes into account everything: dimensions, weight, volume, and so on;
- We also take into account whether the compressor will require a coolant supply and whether it has its own independent lubrication system;
- Next, we determine the general concept of the future engine, depending on the calculated power: how the fasteners will be carried out, what modifications of the internal combustion engine will be required, etc .;
- Then we provide piping and select / carry out the necessary chip tuning.
As you can see below, this approach has much more disadvantages.
| Pros of this method | Minuses |
| "Nine" will acquire a new and exclusive look | Complexity and high cost of the project |
| Having carried out this method, the owner can always boast of successfully applied solutions | Experimental challenges |
| It is possible to implement individual solutions | Mandatory revision of individual elements of the system |
| Mandatory involvement of third-party specialists who are able to correctly select components for an individual project | |
| Any miscalculation in carrying out this method threatens with destructive breakdowns of the VAZ 2109 power unit |
Installing a ready-made kit
The second method looks much nicer. What is a Kit Kit?
This is a completely ready-made set that allows you to implement. It includes the compressor itself, which has already been designed for the VAZ 2109 and adapted for it.
In addition, the kit contains the accessories necessary for connection and adjustment. There are many advantages to this solution, but the main thing, perhaps, is that the owner himself can, with his own hands, carry out the installation.
In this case, the installation can be carried out, again, in two ways:
- The method of installing a kit kit with a compressor from a foreign car, fully adapted to the VAZ 2109;
- By installing a kit kit assembled in China together with components and sold officially.
Thus, increasing the maximum speed of the VAZ 2109 is a possible and popular business. In the process of carrying out the work, it will be useful to watch a thematic video review, study photo materials, diagrams. The instruction will also not be superfluous.
