The car engine is the main power unit, on the characteristics of which much depends. Every year, the design of internal combustion engines becomes more complex and more efficient. However, this point does not apply to domestically produced cars - the installed engines are improved only in appearance, in general the design remains unchanged for many years. In order to significantly improve the driving performance of the car, the power unit should be modernized.
Sidebar: Important: With the right approach, you can significantly increase power or reduce fuel consumption, make engine operation more reliable, and make the sound more attractive.
Let's look at all the features of how to tune a VAZ 2114 engine: methods, possible improvements, problems with modernization and much more.
Technical improvements
Tuning the technical part is more expensive, but also more serious. With such modifications, the technical component of the car is improved.
Firmware or chip tuning
Firmware consists of the wizard connecting a special computer to the electronic control unit and changing the ECU software. This procedure adjusts the fuel supply system, which has a positive effect on the dynamics and power of the car, but negatively on fuel consumption.
Exhaust installation
The exhaust on the VAZ 2114 can be installed from a well-known one. This company has been on the market for a long time and has proven itself well. There is a huge selection in their products and it is even possible to install an exhaust system that will accurately copy the sound of a Subarov boxer engine.
Replacing camshafts
The camshaft has the important role of supplying fuel to the combustion chamber. It is he who opens the valves, which open the path of fuel into the cylinder. The sports camshaft has a modified cam design and valve timing.
Lightweight flywheel
The lightweight flywheel allows the engine to rotate with lighter torque. This allows the engine to rev faster.
Perforated brake discs
Brake discs with additional perforations cool much better and move chips away from the brake pads, allowing the disc and pads to last longer. Also, brakes with such discs are most effective in hot weather with better cooling.
VAZ engine chip tuning
A change in the design of an internal combustion engine can be called a significant modernization, which will lead to a change in its basic characteristics. However, this tuning method is quite expensive; it can only be done independently if you have certain skills and experience, and the end result is impossible to predict. Some VAZ vehicles are equipped with on-board computers that regulate the operation of the internal combustion engine. The installed program determines the main characteristics of the engine: it affects power, speed limit, fuel consumption, idling and other features of engine operation.
When considering chip tuning, we note the following possible results:
- Increase power by 5-10%. At the same time, the possibility of increasing power depends on what settings were set at the factory, that is, whether a power reserve was left, as well as on the condition of the engine. There are cases when engine power was increased by 20%, which can significantly reduce the service life of the unit.
- Fuel consumption can be reduced by approximately 5%. Reducing fuel consumption will lead to a smooth increase in speed, that is, a quick start from a traffic light will no longer be possible. Therefore, this modification is suitable for the driver who is more concerned about savings than the driving sensations.
- Make idle smoother and more stable.
Tuning the VAZ 2114 engine by installing new firmware should be carried out exclusively by professionals, since mistakes made can lead to significant engine failures. Recently, there is no need to remove the on-board computer to read information from it and rewrite the program - the connection is made through a connector, for this a computer and a special adapter are used. During operation, only partial disassembly of the panel in which the connection connector was hidden is performed.
The work on flashing the chip looks like this:
1. Engine diagnostics are carried out to identify faults. 2. After determining the state of the internal combustion engine, a computer is connected to the chip. 3. When you connect a computer, tables with the configured settings are loaded. 4. The programmer loads preset settings, for example, to increase power by 10%. 5. After making the settings, the engine is tested and adjustments are made.
It should be understood that unique settings are selected for each engine, which depend on the state of the internal combustion engine and other factors. It is possible to carry out the work in question independently, but only if you have certain knowledge and experience. Mistakes made can lead to settings being reset and invalid parameters being set. It should also be taken into account that after chip tuning, it is necessary to perform engine diagnostics, since otherwise there is a possibility of severe wear due to the introduction of incorrect parameters.
Many owners of domestic VAZs of the fourteenth model make certain improvements in the design and appearance of their “horses”. For example, modifications to the steering rack, tail lights, heater, locks, cylinder head, throttle body, engine, trunk, cooling system, doors, brakes. Modifying a VAZ-2114 at home is a fun and rewarding process. Useful because the result always pleases the owner. This article will look at a few of these options.
Appearance
Appearance is the main component of tuning; it is the stylish appearance of the car that attracts a huge number of glances from onlookers.
Below is a list of all the improvements that should definitely be made in every fourteenth.
Tinted glass
Window tinting is a charming attribute of any car. It not only hides what is in the cabin, but also gives the car a stylish look and saves you from bright sun rays in the sultry heat.
Lip installation
Many automakers install a bumper cover on their cars, which not only gives a stylish look, but also protects against splashes that fall on the car’s windshield when driving in the rain. The lip on the VAZ 2114 is installed from this lip, which is made of rubber, which has a rather positive effect on its service life.
Lipspoiler
Some VAZ 2114 models already have a spoiler installed on the 5th door from the factory, but not many people want to see such a huge spoiler on their car. To replace the standard spoiler, you can install a lip spoiler, which has a small and neat size. By the way, to install it you do not need to drill holes in the trunk lid; this spoiler is easily attached with double-sided tape.
Alloy wheels
Wheels are 50% of the appearance of a car. A VAZ 2114 on beautiful large-radius alloy wheels will look simply wonderful and definitely attract a lot of attention on the roads.
On 2114 you can install wheels with a radius from R13 to R17 without any major modifications.
SE caps and mirror repeaters
Many owners of the fourteenth install mirrors from Priora with turn signals in them on their car, and instead of standard repeaters they put on the “SE” badge from the same Priora. This modification will add advantages to the appearance of the car.
Antishildik
As you can see on the roads, you can increasingly see VAZ cars, and not only others, without identification plates of the make and model of the car. No matter how strange it may seem, this modification takes place. After all, without the boring AvtoVAZ nameplates, the car actually looks more interesting and mysterious.
Modification of the rear lights of the VAZ-2114
There are many options for modifying taillights. Here are a few of the most popular:
- individual LED elements;
- LED rings;
- LED inserts and overlays.
For individual elements of LEDs, LED strips or rings are used; for the body, reflectors of different sizes and corresponding colors are excellent, which can be purchased without much difficulty in automobile stores.
The paint is also selected according to your taste and desire. In order to place the rings in separate cylinders, you can use tin cans, after carefully cutting out the desired size. If you decide to mount LED trims inside the headlights, then do not forget that they are mounted on top of the rear optics. In any of the listed options, you cannot do without soldering iron skills.
If you don’t have the skills, but want to modify the taillights, then it’s better to contact a tuning studio, where professionals will do all the work for you.
External changes
To make the car more improved and attractive, many people begin tuning the VAZ 2114 with the external design.
There are several points that need to be redone first. The price for tuning a VAZ 2114 may vary depending on the number and nature of the changes.
If you decide to start tuning, here's where to start:
Wheels. When tuning, most people start with the wheels. A person for whom comfort is more important replaces them with more comfortable and smooth ones.
But in most cases, beautiful wheels are chosen. To do this, purchase large wheels and low-profile tires. As for driving on such wheels, it does not provide comfort.
Lighting. Further changes concern the headlights. They are replaced with LED ones and the inside of the optics is painted with black toner. You can purchase any other optics. For example, a good option would be headlights from Audi, but this will cost some money.
Body kits. The third parameter for improving the car. Here, not only good appearance is taken into account, but also an increase in aerodynamics. This will increase the overall speed of the machine.
A cheaper option would be to simply add trim pieces. Speed also increases, but not as effectively as with body kits.
Other body changes. There is a lot going on here. You can even make the doors roll up and open the roof of a convertible. It all depends on the amount of money you want to invest in the car.

A relay is an electrical device that is designed to close and open various sections of electrical circuits with given changes in electrical or non-electrical input quantities. Show in full…
Relay types are distinguished by control signal and design. The most common are electrical or electromagnetic relays. The relay provides DC switching for a high load level, or in other words, it is a switch. Most often, the relay has five contacts, and 4-pin and 7-pin relays are no exception. All contacts in the relay are labeled, each of them has its own designation. These include a common contact, a closing contact, and a breaking contact. The relay is in a quiet state when there is no power to the coil. The coil is triggered when power is simultaneously supplied to the plus and minus contacts. A relay is an excellent “lifesaver” when installing additional equipment. An automotive relay is a special type of remote control of a switch. Using a magnetic drive, it controls electrical circuits from a distant point.
It controls electrical components such as fuel pumps, air conditioning motors and radiator fans. Relays use flexible mechanical contacts that effectively block current in the circuit they serve. Fortunately, it is easy to test a car relay and troubleshoot any problem.
Using a Relay: A relay allows you to use a small current to control a large current. Typically, the relay coil has a relatively high resistance and only requires a small electrical current to turn on the contacts. The contacts are designed to carry much more current than necessary. This means that you can use a relay if you need to make/open a path where there is relatively high current and only a small current can be supplied to the control circuit. In a car, the ignition key cannot pass a significant amount of current without being damaged. If the starter is engaged while the ignition is on, it can be instantly destroyed, so this is where a relay (also known as a solenoid) comes to the rescue. It acts as a buffer between the ignition switch and the starter. In older Ford cars, for example, the solenoid was mounted on the fender. On other vehicles the solenoid was mounted on the starter. A relay is also used to isolate two circuits. If you need to control a very high voltage circuit with a 12 volt controller, you can use a relay. Since the relay coil is generally isolated from the contacts, there is complete isolation between the "input" and "output" portions of the relay.
If the engine operates at low shaft speeds, then the voltage at the generator terminals is significantly less compared to the battery. In this case, the current that enters the parallel winding creates a very weak magnetic field, which is not enough to overcome the tension of the spring and attract the armature to the core. In this case, the contacts remain open. An increase in engine shaft speed increases the voltage at the generator terminals. If the excess voltage at the generator terminals exceeds the battery voltage, the magnetic field increases, which causes spring resistance, as a result of which the contacts can close. The entire generator load current passes through the winding, which is connected in series. When the network is powered by a generator, current flows through two windings in the direction of coincidence of the magnetic fields, which increases the force of attraction of the armature by the core. Relays are located everywhere: under the hood of the car, behind the seats, on the steering wheel, around the engine compartment and distribution block, and even in trunk. Relays act as switches that allow interruption of current to the fuel pump, radiator fan, intake throttle, air conditioning and many other circuits. They are very reliable, but continuous operation can cause their coils to break or burn out their contacts. The relay performs a common and important function during vehicle operation. The serviceability of the car relay can be checked at special terminals in a car service center.

How to start a cold engine: useful tips
Video instructions with tips for car drivers in cold weather can be found in this article
Winter brings additional problems for motorists. And they are connected not only with the need to replace tires and other things, but also with the fact that at low temperatures it becomes difficult to start your car. Show in full... The cold weather is beginning to set in and gain strength, and at the same time the number of motorists in yards and garages who are trying to revive their iron friend is increasing.
In such a situation, you need to know how to start a cold engine. At the very least, such knowledge will help save a lot of time and also save your nerves. And in the morning before the start of the working day, this is never superfluous.
Technical features
If you leave the car outside and the cold promises to be severe, then it is better to remove the battery and take it with you. You can name what you need to pay attention to first:
Technical tuning
Technical tuning involves changing engine components to improve its performance and increase dynamic performance. Despite the fact that the 8-valve engine on the VAZ-2115 is already considered quite successful, owners regularly ask specialists to make a number of changes to speed up its operation or extend its service life.
Engine chipping
Many car enthusiasts are interested in this type of technical tuning. This option allows you to programmatically change the “brains”. Basically, it is designed to;
In some cases, sports options for inserting chips are possible, which increase the engine power to a maximum of 5% of the existing one.
Change of cylinder and piston
Another option for improving engine performance is tuning the piston and cylinder groups. In this case, we are talking about increasing the volume of elements, as well as the possible replacement of the crankshaft or the use of oil of a different viscosity. Thus, the operating speed of the engine increases, which affects its power.
Transmission tuning
If you try to increase the power of the engine, this will lead to an increase in the load on its other components. The transmission can especially suffer, and therefore it also requires some changes, or rather, a complete rework.
Upgrading the transmission helps improve driving performance. In case of tuning, the VAZ-2115 will take turns with a large radius, and maximum concentration will be required from the driver.
Additionally, during transmission tuning, specialists change brake pads, linings and brake boosters themselves, because a car with high power will need to be stopped somehow efficiently. Install the boosters by doubling the brake pedal pressure.
