What kind of engine can be installed for a Priora from a foreign car?

Engine

Lada Priora has undergone changes several times, both externally and technically. The appearance, power plant and transmission changed.

Below is an example of engines that were installed on the VAZ 2170-72.

Engine 21116 (8 valves)

This engine was installed on the VAZ 2114 and Lada Kalina, and was later inherited by the Priora. The power of this internal combustion engine is 80 hp. with a volume of 1.6 liters, which is very small. Such an engine does not have good dynamics, and it is difficult for it to “drag” the body of the Priora.

Pros:

• Does not bend valves;
• Easy to maintain;
• Cheaper spare parts;

Minuses:

• Low power;
• Noisiness;

The installation of such an engine continued until 2021.

Engine 21126 (16 valves)

16 valve engine with more power and torque compared to 116. It is a modified model of the 124 engine. Its power is 98 hp. with a volume of 1.6 liters.

Pros:

• Great power;
• No noisy operation;

Minuses:

• Bend valves when the belt breaks;
• Expensive spare parts;

Engine 21127 (16 valves)

The modified 126 engine received the index 21127; the intake in this engine was changed, thereby increasing the power to 106 hp. with the same volume of 1.6 liters. They began to install a new cable gearbox for this engine.

Pros:

• High power;
• No noisy operation;

Minuses:

• Bend valves;
• Expensive spare parts;

Engine 21128 (16 valves)

This engine was specially designed for more powerful Lada cars with the “Super Auto” nameplate. The power of this engine has increased, as has its volume. The number of horsepower in the super car engine increased to 123, and the volume to 1.8 liters, which radically affected the dynamics of the car.

Pros:

• Good dynamics and high power;

Minuses:

• Bend valves;
• More expensive spare parts;

Reworking the 2114 engine - reasons and difficulties

Generally speaking, replacing the motor is an undesirable procedure. The reason lies in the fact that the engine installed at the factory is the most optimal for this particular car - everything has already been thought out by the designers and engineers. True, the results obtained do not always satisfy motorists.

So, it’s worth comparing at least the total resource of domestic and foreign engines. For the first (specifically for the VAZ 2114) it is 250,000 kilometers, and for the second (similar in all other parameters) - 500,000 kilometers. Even this fact alone makes drivers think about installing an engine from a foreign car in a VAZ 2114.

It should be remembered that the problem of installing and altering the engine is not the only one that will have to be faced. Most drivers are not stopped by it, but by the enormous difficulties of further registering such a modified car with the traffic police.

Speaking about the choice of engine, we can answer very briefly - you can install absolutely any engine that fits in the engine compartment. True, in most cases, a bunch of other mechanisms will have to be replaced, as a result of which little will remain of the original car (except for the body and interior).

That is why you should give preference to the most compatible engines. Another, no less optimal option is to upgrade the original engine. It will be much cheaper and will not cause any problems with the police.

Engine test tables and graphs

Comparison of Priora engines 1.8 and 1.6 liters
As you can see from the table, the power of the 1.8 liter engine has a positive effect on its dynamics and even consumption. It would seem that it is fuel consumption that should increase, but test results prove the opposite.

Engine power

In this graph, the favorite is immediately visible; there are practically no equal to the 1.8-liter engine.

Engine dismantling process

Of course, the best option would be to replace the engine in a fully equipped workshop, but if this is not possible (and you really want to do tuning), then you should have the following minimum set of equipment:

Dismantling is carried out in the following order:

Installation of the new motor is carried out in exactly the same order, but in reverse order. Also, it is important not to forget to connect the wires of all sensors to the correct connectors and refill all technical fluids that were drained during dismantling (coolant and oil).

Despite the fact that some car enthusiasts advise first removing the gearbox and then removing the engine, it is strongly recommended to remove the engine together with the gearbox.

Is it possible to install another engine on the VAZ 2107?

Throughout its history, the VAZ 2107 has been equipped with 14 different versions of engine units - both carburetor and injection (new type). The engine displacement varied from 1.3 liters to 1.7 liters, while power characteristics varied from 66 to 140 horsepower.

That is, on any VAZ 2107 today you can install one of 14 standard engines - each of them has its own specific properties. Therefore, the car owner can install a new engine to suit his personal needs - a sportier one, a small car, a draft engine, etc.

Technical characteristics of the standard “seven” engine

However, the main engine for the VAZ 2107 is considered to be a 1.5-liter engine with a capacity of 71 horsepower - it was this power unit that was installed on the vast majority of “sevens”.

Which imported engine should you prefer?

Now let's move on to the main question - what engine can be installed on the VAZ 2114? Answering this question, I would like to remind you once again - you should choose only the one that can be installed without modifications or with a minimum number of them.

These imported engines include engines from:

All of the listed engines can be installed on the 14th VAZ with a minimum of alterations to other mechanisms, in most cases - without any alterations at all. This will help save not only effort and money for additional work on replacing units, but can also save a lot of nerves when registering a car with the road inspection (although registering such a tuned car will still be a very big problem).

That is why, before deciding which engine is suitable for a VAZ 2114 from a foreign car, it is better to think again about tuning an existing, original engine. There are quite a few ways to increase its power and service life without replacing it with another, and all of them are completely legal from the point of view of the law.

Connoisseurs of the history of the domestic automotive industry know that the VAZ 2107 is a “luxury” version of the old VAZ 2105 model. A significant difference between the “Seven” and the prototype is its engine, which is more powerful and reliable. The engine was repeatedly modified and adjusted, and the model of different generations was equipped with different types of motors.

Engines from other VAZ models

Motors from other models can also be installed on the “seven” without any major modifications to the fasteners. So, the easiest way to get into operation are engines from the VAZ 14 series. The only caveat is that it is not easy to find a unit of acceptable quality from the VAZ 2114; in car shops it will also be difficult to find components for repair and maintenance.

However, before replacing your standard engine with a motor from another model, you should think about the feasibility of such a replacement. First of all, you need to take into account at least three factors:

Only if these three factors are observed, replacing the engine on a VAZ 2107 can be considered expedient and problem-free: in all other cases, a lot of work will be required, which, by the way, will not guarantee the proper functioning of the new power unit.

Motor from Lada Niva

The power unit from the Niva fits into the engine seat of the VAZ 2107 practically without modifications - it has the same dimensions and shape. The volume of a typical Niva engine varies from 1.6 to 1.7 liters, which allows it to develop power from 73 to 83 horsepower.

It makes sense to install a more powerful engine so that the “seven” feels the traction and strength that all “Lada 4x4” possess. In this case, you can choose the most convenient type of motor design:

In addition, the power unit from Niva is more modern - for example, it contains such advanced mechanisms as hydraulic valve compensators and a hydraulic chain tensioner. In this regard, the “seven” becomes not only “faster”, but also much quieter during operation. It is important that the Niva engine is also less demanding on adjustments and maintenance.

Motor from Lada Priora

The VAZ 2107 is often equipped with engines from Lada Priora. It should be noted that the new engines significantly optimize the performance of the “seven” due to the fact that they have a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 80 to 106 horsepower.

However, it should be taken into account that the engines from the Priora are only injection, and therefore cannot be installed on every model of the Seven (or the entire engine compartment will require significant modification).

The only disadvantage of using a modernized engine is that installing the unit will take time: it will be necessary to adjust the mounts to the size of the motor, as well as make changes to the fuel supply, cooling and exhaust systems. The “Prior” engine has slightly different shapes than the engine from the “Seven”, but easily fits into the seat under the hood. However, you will have to configure all other installation and connection details yourself.

16-valve engine: is it worth it?

The VAZ 2107 was initially equipped with only 8-valve engines. Of course, the idea of ​​installing a more productive engine with 16 valves does not leave the minds of some “seven-drivers”. However, does it make sense to change the power unit, and at the same time significantly modify the entire engine operating system?

Therefore, if the driver is not ready for additional expenses and constant maintenance of a 16-valve engine in service centers, it is better to do without installing such a unit.

Rotary engine

Rotary engines for domestically produced cars can be considered the most suitable option. Any rotary engine has three important advantages for driving:
