We increase the power of the Priora engine with our own hands

When purchasing a car, the buyer must pay attention to many points. So, for example, you need to choose a car in accordance with the tasks that you intend to set for it. If the purpose of your trips will not go beyond the city limits, then buy a small car, and if you need to cross off-road terrain, then pay attention to SUVs with displacement engines.

Or you can combine both by buying a small car and then making it suitable for crossing bad roads. You can create such a universal car by simply increasing the ground clearance of your existing car. In the conditions of Russian roads, such fraud will always be relevant. So, for example, by increasing the ground clearance on a car like a Priora, you will save a lot of money on its repairs. After all, you won’t have to repair the suspension in vain after encountering a couple of holes.

Factors affecting the service life of the VAZ 2170

According to the manufacturer, the ICE 21126 with sixteen valves has a stable operation duration of 200 thousand kilometers.
After a certain mileage it is necessary to carry out major repairs. Taking good care of the VAZ 2170, proper maintenance (MOT) and timely replacement of damaged components and parts will lead to a long service life of the vehicle. Reasons affecting the service life of the power unit:

The optimal operating engine temperature is 90 - 95 °C. The rules allow the power unit to operate at temperatures reaching up to one hundred degrees, provided that the radiator fan is running. The engine temperature is considered low if it is below +90°C. In cold weather, it takes more time to warm up the engine to the desired mark on the device.

When servicing your VAZ 2107 car, the car owner can change the oil with his own hands. To do this, you need to know how to drain used lubricating fluid, what kind of oil to pour into the Priora and how much engine oil to pour into the neck.

How to benefit from increased ground clearance?

Obviously, neither the double nor triple ground clearance of the Priora can be compared with the ground clearance of any jeep. But we should not forget that, in tandem with the improvement of certain other features of the car, the Priora’s ground clearance can give good results. Let's be clear for now.

The distance from the ground to the bottom is 165 mm. But knowing this fact alone is not enough to draw any conclusions. The motorist must certainly take into account the properties indicated below, such as:

1. Full length of the machine.
2. Distance from front overhang to rear.
3. Wheel base.
4. Vehicle track width.
5. The presence of some parts protruding from the bottom of the car.
6. The way the ground clearance when the car is 100% loaded.

Only working on the joint improvement of all these features can lead to benefit from the increase in ground clearance of the Priora.

Engine Features 126

The development of the 21126 internal combustion engine was carried out in parallel with the VAZ-21124 internal combustion engine. With different working volumes of the models, a large number of coincidences were noted for the incoming systems and nodes. The main task before the creators of the 21126 engine was to obtain the most durable mechanism, characterized by a long service life.

The elements of the connecting rod and piston group were developed by Federal Mogul. The company's engineering team created a design that compares favorably in weight (30% lighter) with a similar kit installed on the 2110 machine.

In terms of external parameters, the engines of variants 124 and 126 are very similar, but there are certain differences between them. What is the difference between a 124 engine and a 126:

What materials are used

Before purchasing spacers, you need to decide on the design (type) and material. The following varieties are distinguished:

1. Polyurethane. They have a high degree of compression, are very easily deformed, and therefore can lead to damage to the suspension. However, they are very cheap and easy to install.
2. Rubber. Very elastic, helping to achieve smooth suspension. Absorbs noise and vibrations. However, they have a limited internal resource and wear out quickly.
3. Plastic and composite. Adapts to the car as much as possible. Among the disadvantages is a short service life; the spacer will have to be changed every year.
4. Aluminum. Quite reliable and durable, they deform only in the presence of significant mechanical loads. However, they last less than iron.
5. Metal. Very durable, do not lose their performance properties over time. Among the disadvantages is the possibility of corrosion when the metal spacer and the body come into contact. They serve only to increase ground clearance.

Are the valves bending?

In Lada Priora cars, even in a 16-valve 126 power unit, valves can often bend. The reasons causing this defect lie in non-compliance with operating rules, in case of violation of the regulations for replacing the following components and parts:

If one of the listed components breaks down, the pistons, exerting mechanical stress on the valves, can bend them. The design features of the engine are the reasons why the engine can bend valves. Deformation of the valves necessitates a major overhaul of the Priora engine.

What shock absorbers are suitable for Priora

Replacing rear shock absorbers directly depends on the conditions in which the Lada Priora is used. When the device becomes unusable, both the driver and passengers feel it. Therefore, you will think about a possible malfunction of the racks even before you arrive at the service center and undergo special diagnostics. You can feel the deterioration of the shock absorbers on the road. Your Priora will become less stable when maneuvering while driving at high speed.

Here are the rear struts on the car

In each case, replacing shock absorbers is an individual process. Factory parts, also called oil parts, are more affordable than their gas brothers. But they have one feature associated with a small temperature range. In winter, oil-filled shock absorbers become stiff. Therefore, such parts are offered by specialists only for urban vehicles.

Gas-oil shock absorbers will cost much more, but this price will fully correspond to their manufacturability. You will feel their role in the cold. Simply put, you will not feel any changes when the car moves, but this will be a confirmation of the quality of the rack. It is generally accepted that imported spare parts are reliable and made of high-quality materials, which is why Priora is equipped with Kayaba and SS20 shock absorbers.

Replacing old struts with new ones of improved quality does not guarantee perfect suspension performance. After all, this unit consists of many elements, and only a general replacement of parts can restore comfort and convenience in the process of driving the Priora. In principle, there is nothing complicated about how to replace rear shock absorbers on a front-wheel drive car. Therefore, this information will be useful not only to Priora owners. Drivers of other VAZ models can also use the instructions below.

Why does the engine stall?

Frequently encountered breakdowns of this power unit include such defects as unstable operation and engine tripping. Such failures occur due to malfunctions in engine components and parts:

The power of the power unit is reduced for the following reasons:

Engine friction can be eliminated by flushing the injectors. The reasons for unstable operation of the power unit may lie in the malfunction of the following devices:

You can replace the spark plugs on Priora yourself. To do this, you need to familiarize yourself with the principles of correct selection and replacement of these nodes, described in special articles on the Internet.

Options and prices

The Lada Priora 2022 configurations in the new body are presented in five versions. The prices of the new Lada Priora 2022 are influenced by the characteristics of the technical properties and the saturation of options. For example, the Standard costs only 294,000 rubles, but, of course, there is no rich equipment here.

The Lada Priora Coupe is, in fact, an ordinary hatchback without rear doors. Lada Priora Hatchback - three-door, front-wheel drive, class C. Sold in two versions - Luxury and Normal, cost 443,000/540,100 rubles.

The price for the Lada Priora Station Wagon starts from 446,600 rubles, according to technical data, it has eight options.

The designation “x” Lada Priora 2022 in model descriptions means that all versions have an x-concept in external design.

The Priora 2022 is equipped with gasoline power units, according to which the price is usually set:

• 1.6 lit. 8 valves (87 hp), 5 MT / Standard – 414,900 rub.
• 1.6 lit. 16 valves (106 hp), 5 MT / Norm - 463,600 rub.
• 1.6 lit. 16 valves (106 hp), 5 MT / Normal / Climate - 503,900 rub.
• 1.6 lit. 16 valves (106 hp), 5 MT / Comfort - 512,400 rub.
• 1.6 lit. 16 valves (106 hp), 5 MT / Image – 523,400 rub.

Several color options for the Lada Priora are available, the price for them is negotiated additionally.

Differences between engines 126 and 127 models

AvtoVAZ Corporation periodically introduces innovations into the design of its vehicles. Some models began to be equipped with a modern VAZ 21127 engine. Its design is based on the previous version 21126.

The main differences of the new engine:

One of the main disadvantages of the 21127 engine is the high probability of valve deformation when the timing belt breaks. Another serious disadvantage of the new engine is expensive repairs, regardless of the location of the repair and restoration work. This is due to the high cost:

Important: The VAZ 21127 engine does not work well at low temperatures. Experienced drivers recommend protecting the radiator of the cooling system in cold weather using ordinary cardboard.

Replacing the rear springs of a VAZ 2107

Before starting work, you should decide on consumables and tools. Here's what we need:

• jack;
• a set of new springs;
• hammer;
• set of open-end wrenches;
• socket heads and wrenches.

Sequencing

The optimal conditions for replacing springs are a garage with a small lift, with which you can hang the required wheel without any problems. If there is no lift, you will have to make do with a regular jack, although this is less convenient.

Two more important points should be noted here. Springs are always replaced in pairs. Under no circumstances should you replace just one spring. This will completely disrupt the suspension adjustment, and therefore the car's handling will become completely unpredictable. In addition, the springs cannot be repaired. If the springs “shrink”, this means that the properties of the steel from which they are made have completely changed. Even if the driver decides to slightly stretch the springs and put them back, this will not have any effect: the springs will “sit down” again due to metal fatigue. Therefore, the only rational option is to replace “shrunken” springs.

1. The car's wheels are securely fixed using a hand brake and boots. Then one of the rear wheels is jacked up and removed.
2. After this, the jack is installed under the lower suspension arm. The lever is raised by a jack by about 10 cm. This must be done so that the spring is compressed.
3. There are nuts in the luggage compartment that hold the shock absorber in place. They are unscrewed with a 14-mm open-end wrench, the shock absorber is removed (in this case, it is worth carefully inspecting the shock absorber cups and silent blocks for wear and mechanical damage).
4. The next step is to disconnect the ball joint pin and suspension stabilizer. You can knock the finger out of the eye using a small hammer. If the finger is very rusty, you should generously lubricate it with WD40 and wait 20 minutes so that the composition has time to dissolve the rust.
5. The stabilizer is moved to the side along with the rod. Now the jack is lowered by 10 cm, as a result the support pin comes out of the eye, and the spring gradually unclenches. After this, the upper suspension arm should be secured in its highest position. You can simply tie it to the body with a rope.
6. The fully deflated spring is removed, replaced with a new one, after which the rear suspension of the VAZ 2107 is reassembled.

Video: removing rear springs from a VAZ 2107

So, it is quite possible to change the rear springs on the “seven” in a garage. No special skills are required to carry out such a replacement. You just need to follow the above recommendations and take your time.

Priora engine tuning

To improve the power performance of the Priora power unit, they resort to the following modifications:

In addition to the considered method of transforming the power unit to increase dynamic performance, there are several more ways to tune a car of this model.

Published on August 29, 2016

+ a pair of horses, i.e. correction of stock firmware jambs, if you don’t go into the head, then you can install the current force Ps I would rather get into the head because T-shapes + channels + exhaust = increase in torque in the entire range even without calibration, but with it it will be even better

Respect, have you tried sleeping?

There is an opportunity to make a video about how and what to use to squander channels. also install larger valves.

not worth it. How are you going to turn the engine? Where does the power come from?

Please tell us also what can be done with an 8kL engine 2111 or 11183, also in the region of 20-30 thousand

Vlas, in one of the old videos you said that standard springs in the cylinder head, in principle, maintain good high speeds (in a new state). I am building an 8-valve engine with throttles, phase 302, the question is, can I turn at least 7500 on standard springs without consequences?? drain valves, lightweight plates.

On his channel, look for a clear example (albeit roughly) “Simple and affordable tuning of the VAZ 8kl engine”, as well as “cylinder head boring cover version, a lot of swearing”, “Receiver (types and their correct installation) from 4 minutes boring of channels " And if it still doesn’t help, then Google or a locksmith.

What can be repaired with a VAZ 21115 (8 class) for 20-25 thousand. rubles Just not turbo.

now let's see about boring the 16 valve!

Now let's make a video about boring a 16 valve!

Now let's make a video about boring a 16 valve! Who's going to like it?

without a head will give you 10 strength

Beautiful! Continue to tell us about engine configurations, the amount of projects and “pitfalls”! PS And try to justify it

Vlas, tell us about the installation of “pipes”, their advantages and disadvantages, which is better! Thank you in advance

Lowering the car: why and how to do it

Lowering the suspension is usually done to style the car and give it a more daring look. Such tuning makes the car tougher, but nevertheless remains popular. You can lower the VAZ 2170 in the following ways:

1. Installing air suspension (the most expensive method). Complete reworking of the chassis. The result is a lowered car that can be raised if desired.
2. Chassis with adjustable clearance (also expensive). Here, the degree of compression of the springs is adjusted automatically.
3. Installation of low profile tires. Low-profile tires are definitely not suitable for bumps, but you won’t have to modify the chassis.
4. Shortening (sawing off) springs. This is a budget method - you only need to saw off 1.5 turns in the front, 2 turns in the back.

AvtoVAZ’s new 2022 Lada Priora model, like its predecessor, will be available in the following body styles: Hatchback (three- and five-door), Station Wagon and Sedan. The advantage of the new product is that the car body is now much lighter and this makes it possible to increase the aerodynamics of the car. The automaker, contrary to rumors about the end of production of the Priora model, decided to extend its production for another year.

A review of the Priora 2022 showed that the model has become much more technologically advanced - although this is not so obvious upon a quick inspection. The question of how much the 2022 Lada Priora costs cannot be answered unambiguously - it will depend on the modifications, body type and brand of the installed power unit. On average, the cost will vary from 424,000 to 533,400 rubles. Now let's tell you about everything in more detail.

Lada Priora 2022 in a new body is a fast car, suitable for any type of road. During the renovation process, the image of the Lada Priora remained the same: smooth body lines, bright optics, an extraordinary radiator grille, chrome trim, a full range of options, interior comfort, a powerful rear bumper.

The Lada Priora car is: dynamism, maneuverability, cross-country ability and budget cost.

Exterior

The appearance of the 2022 Lada Priora, of course, is not “ultra-modern”, but it has become much more attractive and aristocratic. This is noticeable even if you just look at the Lada Priora from the photo. Changes are noticeable in the design of the false radiator grille; new stampings have been added on the doors. “Ribs” began to be visible on the hood, and elegance was added to the front bumper. The shape of the foglights was changed, and LEDs were added to the rear lights.

In all models of the Lada Priora 2022 Sedan, the following updates can be noted:

• Running lights.
• Light tinting of windows.
• Exterior mirrors are electric and heated.
• External handles are painted to match the color of the body.
• Light alloy wheels, fifteen inches.
• Steel temporary fourteen-inch spare wheel.
• Decorative wheel caps.
• One-piece stamped mudguard for the engine.

Of course, similar innovations have been introduced into all modifications, as can be seen from the photo of the 2022 Lada Priora Hatchback or Station Wagon. In general, we can say that the restyled Lada Priora 2022 has been given a very presentable look.

Interior

The Lada Priora was also updated in its internal equipment, mainly affecting the dashboard - now it has become much more informative. The center console is generally completely new. Regarding the finishing of the VAZ 2170 Lada Priora, it is now made of higher quality materials. True, the plastic finish is still just as hard.

The front seats are comfortable, but the profile support is not sufficiently developed. The back row of the back row is located vertically - you can’t sit on such a sofa for a long time. In the photo of the interior of the new Lada Priora 2019, all the updates are clearly visible.

The following options have been added or changed in the Lada Priora Universal 2022 and in the Hatchback of the new Lada Priora:

• Frontal airbag.
• Auxiliary systems ABS, BAS, EBD.
• ISOFIX child seat attachment.
• Immobilizer, climate control, factory alarm, central locking with remote control.
• Navigator, multimedia with seven-inch monitor, 12 v socket, cabin filter.
• Armrests, headrests, folding backrest.
• The steering column is adjustable, with hydraulic booster, and electric windows.
• Front passenger sun visor, heated seats.

Possible consequences of chip tuning

Don't overdo it with the engine's characteristics. How can chipping affect the engine's service life? Chip tuners, naturally, will tell you that there is no way. However, it is worth noting that there is no reliable information from car manufacturing companies that chipping is safe for the car. After all, it is much easier to say that everything will be fine and that the procedure is absolutely safe for the car. In reality, the motor will wear out much faster, which is not surprising, because you cannot get something without giving something in return. Don’t forget about high-quality equipment for car tuning.

The question here is, how critical are these changes? After all, car owners are not interested in the nominal mode, and the engine life spans hundreds of thousands of kilometers. The main disadvantage is probably the lack of any guarantees from the company. Professional services that chip engines change machine settings within acceptable levels. You shouldn't expect a 10% increase in power and the car will feel good. Thus, you should decide what is more important to you - a small increase in speed or engine life.

If you are planning to upgrade your car by chipping the engine, you need to take into account that when developing the car, engineers created the car software taking into account its dimensions, intake and exhaust systems, weight and gearbox subnumbers. Therefore, if you decide to tune your car, remember the possible consequences of this operation for your car.

Stories from our readers

“Fucking basin. "

Hi all! My name is Mikhail, now I’ll tell you a story about how I managed to exchange my two-wheeler for a 2010 Camry. It all started with the fact that I began to be wildly irritated by the breakdowns of the two-wheeler, it seemed like nothing serious was broken, but damn it, there were so many little things that really started to irritate me. This is where the idea arose that it was time to change the car to a foreign car. The choice fell on the melting Camry of the tenth years.

Yes, I had matured morally, but financially I just couldn’t handle it. I’ll say right away that I am against loans and taking a car, especially not a new one, on credit is unreasonable. My salary is 24k a month, so collecting 600-700 thousand is almost impossible for me. I started looking for different ways to make money on the Internet. You can’t imagine how many scams there are, what I haven’t tried: sports betting, network marketing, and even the volcano casino, where I successfully lost about 10 thousand ((The only direction in which it seemed to me that I could make money was currency trading on the stock exchange, they call it Forex. But when I started delving into it, I realized that it was very difficult for me. I continued to dig further and came across binary options. The essence is the same as in Forex, but it’s much easier to understand. I started reading forums, studying trading strategies. I tried it on a demo account, then opened a real account. To be honest, I didn’t manage to start earning money right away, until I understood all the mechanics of options, I lost about 3,000 rubles, but as it turned out, it was a precious experience. Now I earn 5-7 thousand rubles a day. I managed to get the car buy after half a year, but in my opinion this is a good result, and it’s not about the car, my life has changed, I naturally quit my job, I have more free time for myself and my family. You’ll laugh, but I work directly on the phone)) If If you want to change your life like me, then here’s what I advise you to do right now: 1. Register on the site 2. Practice on a Demo account (it’s free). 3. As soon as you get something on the Demo account, top up your REAL ACCOUNT and go to REAL MONEY! I also advise you to download the application to your phone, it’s much more convenient to work from your phone. Download here.

If you think about what affects the ground clearance of a car, it becomes clear that it is a number of ways:

1. screw suspension.
2. install spacers between the body and the strut support.
3. install non-standard strut supports, springs (longer) or shock absorbers.
4. install interturn spacers in the springs
5. install higher rubber bands under the springs
6. replace tires and wheels

If you install “house” spacers under the pillars, you will be able to raise the rear of the car.

As you might have noticed, there are many ways to make a car taller, but how is increasing ground clearance and car performance related?

Shock absorbers and ground clearance, where is the truth?

When the car is standing still, the shock absorbers will not lift the body - after all, it hangs on springs. The role of the struts can be understood in motion, when the car sways and “pecks” on soft or dead shock absorbers. You drive off the curb and your car’s nose hits the asphalt! If the shock absorbers are in good condition, they will “catch” the car halfway. Thus, shock absorbers do not affect ground clearance, but have the same effect as increased ground clearance.

Alternative shock absorbers may have a longer rod, which will provide more suspension travel. We discuss these subtleties in the topic “which shock absorbers are better to choose.”

Replacing springs to increase ground clearance

The car body hangs on springs, so they have a direct impact on ground clearance.

Springs 2108 are installed on the front suspension of the VAZ 2110 car as standard. “Tens” with 16kW internal combustion engines are equipped with reinforced springs 2112. In addition, suspension springs are divided into two classes “A” and “B”. If you prefer to load your car to capacity, then perhaps you should choose class A springs (yellow), because... They hold a little more load.

Tuning the Priora 126 engine for 20-30 thousand rubles

In the comments they asked a question about Priora. What can be done for 20-30 thousand rubles. with a motor to make it go better.

Let's first consider the situation for 30,000, and then the minimum for 20,000.

For 30,000 you can bore the channels, throw in the shafts , change the throttle valve, injectors and calibrate the engine.
Now let’s look at how much each position costs. First, let's go over the material. 16-valve shafts cost from 6500 and above. I would eventually install some turbo shafts. Because the engine will spin no more than 7000, the engine is quite low and in the future it will seem to you that the increase is not enough, you will get tuning disease and will continue to charge the engine. In order to have the most important foundation for development, you buy turbo shafts, say 9.6, and 10.1 for the intake and exhaust. In principle, a small overlap is very good for a low-end motor. They cost approximately 6800 from the manufacturer. By the exhaust. Install a spider that simply replaces the catalyst. It costs around 1500 rubles. Source

Replacing rear springs and shock absorbers — Lada Priora Sedan, 1.6 liter, 2008 on DRIVE2

I changed the shock absorbers at 60 thousand, so they were in good condition, and the springs have been working for the 7th year and have sagged quite a bit. It was decided to change everything together. I changed it myself.

I bought everything stock + shock absorber mounting bolts, spring gaskets, bump stops and cushions, and also new corrugations.

spring gaskets, corrugations, cushions and Z-shaped key 17*19

shocks, springs and bolts

The tool you need is a 17mm Z-shaped wrench to unscrew the nut on the shock absorber rod, or a puller. The rod was held with a small adjustable wrench. The lower fasteners unscrewed normally - they were spilled with VD, the threads were lubricated 3 years ago.

springs covered 125 thousand km, shock absorbers 60 thousand km

To put everything in place I used spring ties and 2 jacks. It’s possible without zip ties, but you’ll have to tinker a little longer.

assembled

The rear of the car has become 1-2 cm higher, the rear suspension has become pleasantly rigid and the rear is more confident in corners. Now 100 thousand km. You don’t have to look there (if the car will last that long) =))

Types of Lada series cars

A common type of car in the Russian Federation is Lada Priora. The series is represented by 4 types:

Standard equipment may include: power steering (power steering or electric power steering), one of two types of engine (16- or 8-valve engine), reinforced body (to increase the level of strength), airbags, fog lights, parking radar, electric windows (for doors), rain and light sensor, multimedia system, etc.

This type of car has excellent adaptability to bad roads and unfavorable climatic conditions. It is safe, economical, easy to maintain and uses standard fuel. Thanks to all this, it has become so widespread, since the relatively low price is well combined with the appropriate quality.

What is the standard ground clearance of the Priora - is it enough?

The ground clearance of a Priora car does not differ for different body types. The ground clearance of the car in the sedan and hatchback body is 165 mm. The same applies to the station wagon - but this number is only valid for pre-restyling Lada Priora cars. After restyling, the ground clearance (clearance) under the engine was 170 mm, under the exhaust system - 135 mm.

It was found that in a relaxed state (without loading or with the permissible weight of the driver), the distance to the ground near the front wheel is 18 cm, near the rear - 19.5 cm. There is one feature that concerns the ground clearance of the Lada Priora station wagon.

It is understood that the loading of its trunk will be serious, so the rear suspension is strengthened - when the weight reaches the maximum permissible, the clearance will not fall below 17 cm.

VAZ 2172

Lada hatchback. History and tuning of LADA Priora 2172

Story

The product of the Russian AvtoVAZ, LADA Priora 2172, was released in February 2008 and became the second car in the line after the sedan. The basis of the 5-door front-wheel drive hatchback, like other representatives of this family, was the VAZ “ten” - this time the VAZ 2112.

As in the cases of the sedan and station wagon, there is no need to talk about the Priora 2172 only as a restyling of the VAZ - the new model has been almost completely redesigned both technically and externally. The exterior, unusually attractive for our cars, was obviously created with an eye on fashion trends among the same “foreign cars”.

As for the technical qualities, they are the same in all models of the series, only the configuration variations differ. The Priora 2171 is considered the most equipped, created in more advanced “normal” and “luxury” variations. The 2172 hatchback, as well as the sedan, is also represented by a more budget-friendly “standard” modification. It is distinguished by the absence of such pleasant and necessary additions as, for example, an indication that the driver’s seat belt is not fastened, an anti-lock wheel system, etc.

The LADA Priora 2172 engine has a 16-valve mechanism, 4 cylinders, a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 98 hp. The maximum speed is 183 km/h with acceleration to 100 km/h in 11.5 seconds. The lowest fuel consumption of 5.6 l/100 km occurs in the extra-urban cycle, in mixed mode the figure is 7.2 l/100 km, and in urban mode – 9.8 l/100 km.

At one time, a test drive of Priora 2172 took place in the hot Crimea, so one of the central points to which special attention was paid was the air conditioning and ventilation systems. Moreover, the first is represented by components from two manufacturers - Panasonic (Japan-Taiwan) and Halla (Russia-Korea). The results of the operation of these systems showed good results and received high marks - the car was able to survive the hot southern climate with dignity. A unique breakthrough is the air recirculation function, which is simply irreplaceable in conditions of long-hour city traffic jams.

The suspension of the LADA Priora 2172 also demonstrated excellent qualities on the Crimean winding roads - the car ran smoothly, with virtually no roll when cornering. Various “roughnesses” in the form of small and large gravel, holes and hummocks were also easily overcome. Considering that the current state of the road surface in many regions of Russia leaves much to be desired, this characteristic is extremely valuable.

Finally, the car's passive protection measures have been improved - the luxury package has not only a driver's airbag, a particularly durable double floor, a roof reinforcement, door safety bars, but also front seat belt pretensioners, as well as an airbag for the passenger sitting next to it. with a driver. In addition, the Priora 2172 has an excellent ABS system from Bosch, which allows us to talk about a fairly serious level of protection for the car from unforeseen situations.

Interesting Facts

Initially, Lada Priora was created in accordance with fundamental environmental standards - Euro-3 according to Russian standards and Euro-4 for models exported to EU countries. In 2011, the countries of the European Union moved to new, higher standards for assessing the environmental friendliness of vehicles, therefore, from July 1 last year, LADA Priora 2172 began to be produced in accordance with Euro-5 standards. Since stricter control of this parameter is planned in the Russian Federation, the release of a Priora that meets the Euro-4 level is soon planned for the domestic market.

Choosing racks for Priora: the main differences between modern products

Domestic and foreign manufacturers offer high-quality parts. Standardly installed on the SAAZ oil type product model. Their approximate price is 1800-2000 rubles. They are optimal for driving in urban areas and on minor off-road conditions, and cope well with long journeys along the highway. Travel on uneven surfaces is well tolerated for the first 30-40 thousand km, and then they may require replacement.

The Japanese Kayaba racks have also proven themselves positively. The company has recently appeared on the domestic market, but has pleased customers with both a reasonable price and good quality: the elements cope with both off-road driving and highway racing. They have good stability and are able to absorb strong shocks.

When purchasing products, it is important to study the certificate, since there are also low-quality fakes on the market. A novice motorist who is determining which struts are best for a Priora will definitely like the Japanese elements: they are easy to use and install. Domestic Demfi racks are highly durable and reliable

The service life with careful and careful driving can be more than 70 thousand km. The cost of the products is low and every Priora owner can afford to purchase the parts.

Domestic Demfi racks are highly durable and reliable. The service life with careful and careful driving can be more than 70 thousand km. The cost of the products is low and every Priora owner can afford to purchase the parts.

It is important to focus on modern motorists who are accustomed to using personal transport for both work and leisure.

Therefore, when choosing which racks to install on a Priora for long-term use, you should pay attention to Demfi products

You can roughly determine which racks on the Priora are better, and which of them will last longer, based on the degree of rigidity of the products.

For example, SS 20 products differ in the degree of shock and vibration absorption. But the buyer needs to remember that rigid elements, completely eliminating roll in corners, will not provide sufficient comfort when driving on uneven road surfaces. Soft types, while guaranteeing ease of control, will not hold the road so well when passing sharp turns and spiral roads.

When studying suitable racks, you should not be guided by price. Cost will not indicate high or low quality. It is set according to the market segment, company rating, and delivery price. Therefore, custom-made products are usually more expensive than domestic analogues.

How to properly tune a car?

After purchasing a car, the thought always arises that it can be improved. For example, from such an inconspicuous car of the Priora series, tuning will make a very noticeable and pleasing to the eye model, which will be even more comfortable to use.

If you get down to business, you should start from the inside. Tuning the Priora engine can increase power (replacing the engine with a more powerful one), reduce overall fuel consumption, increase efficiency, eliminate driving discomfort (over time, extraneous sounds begin to appear under the hood) and much more.

Tuning the trunk is also not difficult. To update the appearance of the car, you can install a new rear bumper, change the rear brake lights, install external suspension, fender liners, etc. As for the front bumper, if the Priora hatchback car is white, the best option would be to install a white Tokyo bumper " It will look great, giving the appearance of the car some aggressiveness, which will attract attention.

When tuning the Lada Priora, you should focus on the lighting. This simple and inexpensive upgrade will make night driving an unforgettable experience. Depending on the color of the body, it is worth selecting suitable lighting, which is recommended to be installed under the external suspension of the car. Details such as an air intake and various types of stickers will also emphasize the excellent taste of the car owner.

Tuning the Lada Priora will become much more noticeable if you change the factory wheels, since simple wheels will not fit into the updated version of the car. In this case, in order to do everything to the highest standard and with the appropriate quality, you will have to fork out money. Tuning a Priora with your own hands would be inappropriate, since good wheels are one of the keys to safety on the road.

Despite the fact that the factory quality of the body is very good, tuning the Priora hatchback will still add additional strength. When making a large-scale update, you should not take strengthening lightly. There will be a choice here: let the craftsmen do everything (this is much faster, but it will hit your pocket hard), or you can strengthen it yourself (this is cheaper, but will take much longer).

Chassis SS20

These spare parts for domestic and foreign cars are produced under the “System Technologies” brand. These racks have become so popular due to their high quality. For Priora, the manufacturer offers 4 product options that differ in hardness. Which stands are better? They need to be selected according to your driving style. The softest ones are the “Standard” series racks. Rear shock absorbers from the same series are also offered.

A reinforced version is offered to increase the load capacity. Next are the “Comfort” racks. According to reviews from many car owners, this is the best option. They are stiffer than the Standard, but the suspension works equally well on bad and good roads.

The “Highway” kit is suitable for those who like stiff suspension and high speed. With these racks you can drive on bad roads, but it will be uncomfortable. “Sport” is the toughest option from this manufacturer for Priora cars. A front suspension of this type is not very suitable for the city, but for sports competitions it is just right.

Tuning Lada Priora hatchback

Stylish tuning of the Lada Priora hatchback will change all your ideas about your usual image. The bright LEX tuning kit will significantly transform your car, adding dynamics and aggression. If you like to be the center of attention, then this body kit will be a great option. In addition, it has good aerodynamics and a well-thought-out blowing system. Another Ring tuning kit creates a more elegant look. The front and rear bumpers, sills, small spoiler, arch trims and mirrors express the special character of the Lada Priora - stylish and unique. In this set, every detail is important, every highlight, thanks to which an elegant appearance is recreated. You can find more kits and individual tuning elements in our catalog. You can also evaluate the tuning of the Lada Priora hatchback from the photo.

But if the Priora hatchback can, with a stretch, be called the conqueror of forest roads and mountain peaks, then the coupe body cannot receive such a title. This type of car has a very long distance between the front and rear wheels and a very large front overhang. Whatever one may say, it will be difficult to drive along rural country roads. A similar car design is only good for asphalt surfaces.

Interior improvements

After changing the surface appearance of the car, you should also tackle its interior design. Tuning the interior of a Lada, like all cars, can take a lot of time, but the result is worth it.

Inside, you can choose the color scheme to suit your taste. It is advisable to do the tinting in the same color as the interior. Standard seats can be replaced with sports ones. They will give the car the atmosphere of a sports car. But you can do it cheaper without wasting too much money. To change the internal atmosphere in the car, the best option would be to do the interior trim of the Priora yourself. This approach will save money, but this work will be very painstaking.

It is worth paying attention to the multimedia system, since the standard one does not always satisfy the owner’s requirements.

Having selected and installed the appropriate option, you should pay attention to the fact that updating the security system will be very useful (complex anti-hacking mechanisms).

By leaving your “iron horse” unattended on the street for some time, having previously installed a loud alarm, you don’t have to worry about theft, since this precaution works flawlessly in 90% of cases.

Simple details will very clearly highlight the interior design of the Lada. For example, a simple braid for the steering wheel will not only be an excellent accessory, but will also save the car owner from such a disadvantage as a slippery steering wheel. The ribbed surface of the braid will allow you to feel the “steering wheel” much better, and the corresponding color scheme will be in perfect harmony with the internal design.

What is it about

Before you figure out what spacers are to increase ground clearance, you need to figure out what ground clearance is. Ground clearance, in other words ground clearance, is the distance between the lowest point of the car body and the road.

Actually, why does a motorist need to increase the ground clearance? As already mentioned, various situations can lead to the fact that the ground clearance is reduced (damage to springs and fasteners, for example), or the factory one was not high enough. A car is, first and foremost, a means of transportation. A vehicle that sits tightly to the ground will not be able to drive without damaging the underbody. This can have a serious impact and make the car unsuitable for driving, which is why the question arises of increasing the distance to the road. Also, increasing the ground clearance is of interest to people who like to drive off-road.

So, increasing ground clearance is often done using special spacers. This is especially common in the case of subsidence of “native” springs. These spacers are spring mechanisms or additional fasteners. They cope with the task of increasing the clearance very well. Moreover, the procedure for attaching such magnifiers is the most accessible, since they themselves are not expensive - one spacer can be purchased for a price of 1000 rubles.

Air cylinders do just as well as spacers. It turns out even cheaper, and a “healthy” car with working springs does not suffer.

However, to decide whether such a modification is necessary, risk factors must also be taken into account. Of course, this idea has plenty of advantages, but it is not without its disadvantages - one way or another, any change in the “native” design always lies on the conscience of the motorist, and no one gives guarantees for its effectiveness. Before deciding to modify to increase ground clearance, weigh the pros and cons.

Priora chip tuning instructions

If you don't know where the electronic control unit is located, find it behind the instrument panel. Remove it - it shouldn't be too difficult. After the ECU has been dismantled, connect it using the prepared wires to the PC. Run the program and wait for the table with the download data. Then select the firmware you purchased earlier there. They come in different car models and the functions you need. Thus, you can even connect yourself to E-gas (electronic gas pedal).

In addition to the firmware itself, you will need to select new engine operating parameters, depending on your needs: increase torque, reduce fuel consumption, etc.

If you are not confident in your knowledge and skills regarding this procedure, it is better to slightly increase all indicators and correct them after a test drive. Even minor changes in the table make the heart of your machine work differently.

There are also firmware editors. This utility is designed to notify the owner of problems in the engine program settings. Thanks to such an editor, you will make amendments to the program without harm to the ECU and will not do anything stupid that ultimately provokes a major overhaul of the engine.

After completing the flashing operation, close the program, disconnect the cables from the ECU and PC. Reinstall the electronic control unit in its rightful place and return the control panel.

With the help of chip tuning, you can make a lot of additional settings, in addition to the above, but they are more complex and require deep knowledge of the program, so it is better to contact competent specialists.

Tuning VAZ 2170 (Priora): features of manual evolution

Any production passenger car is the inevitable product of many compromises. Designers have to solve mutually exclusive problems: to make a car durable, reliable, beautiful, economical and at the same time inexpensive, easy to assemble, and maximally adapted to the existing set of components and assemblies.

If in the West these problems are solved efficiently, quickly and in different ways, then in Russian realities the release of a new engine or an upgraded suspension becomes an event comparable in resonance to a human flight to Mars.

Even if we imagine the fantastic situation of creating a domestic VAZ that is ideal in all operational and consumer parameters, then there will still be no decrease in those who want to “tune” this perfection.

Faceless seriality is not capable of filling the souls of Leftsha’s heirs, adherents of manual auto-creativity. This is probably why the word “car enthusiast” has existed in our native language for half a century, and this word cannot be translated identically into any language in the world.

Body kit for Lada Priora by weight

For many car enthusiasts, a car is something that is visible to the surrounding population with the naked eye and without lifting the hood. Therefore, tuning VAZ 2170 (Priora)

Most often it is aimed at giving the body an extraordinary look, to the best of the imagination and aesthetic perception of the owner.

The first part of the battle for the freshness and beauty of the car is the front bumper, lovingly called the “face” by tuning enthusiasts. Having gone through a dozen or two options, you can find a unique form that will turn a boring serial “car friend” into a beautiful stranger that you want to enjoy every day.

If your soul is sad about the beautiful life, Monte Carlo and unattainably expensive concept cars, then it can be calmed by the talent of the tuning studio masters, who can not only cover cars with vinyl, but also introduce serious body innovations into their designs. For example, such as sliding doors.

Blockbusters about Batman and all-powerful special agents also do not pass by the attention of inquisitive “tuners”. Film fantasies give life to real masterpieces! Take a look at the photo: everything is designed in the same style, looks harmonious and balanced. The only thing that reminds us that this is a Priora is the doors. The deeply redesigned front end and fashionable wheels echo the elegant chic of the top models of European and American car dealerships.

There are also more radical concepts of body auto tuning, thanks to which the Lada Priora is transformed beyond recognition. The viewer who sees such a car for the first time is left with doubts: does this car exist in nature, or is it the result of the author spending a long time in the Photoshop graphics editor.

Having “licked”, weighed and blown out everything that is in front and on the sides, it’s time to pay attention to the rear part of the body, which for every car enthusiast is as attractive as the back-facade areas of beautiful women.

It’s not true that the car was born for traveling on this sinful earth! A small touch in the form of an innovative spoiler can give the Priora airplane-like swiftness and sculptural expressiveness.

Installation of springs of different lengths and stiffness

The amount of ground clearance of a car directly depends on the installed spring. The body rests on it, and not only how much the car will rise above the road, but also the operation of the entire suspension depends on its rigidity and length. There are several options for springs on the Lada Priora. These are classes “A” and “B”, the first one is considered the more severe. In addition, there are several types of springs that were installed directly at the factory at different times.

When choosing springs, you should always look for a reasonable compromise, since installing an overly stiff part and using it on an unloaded car will not allow the suspension to work smoothly, and the car will bounce on every bump.

One of the options for increasing ground clearance is to install intercoil spacers on the spring. These elements do not allow the spring to compress completely, and the stiffness of the suspension increases. However, at the same time, the compression of the shock absorber is limited, which reduces the smoothness and comfort of the vehicle's suspension. This method is justified when using the car on bad roads, since it additionally helps prevent breakdown of the suspension and protect the shock absorber and spring from destruction.

Another simple way to increase ground clearance is to install a spacer under the spring between the body and the spring. This part, made of high-strength rubber, easily copes with the pressure of the vehicle's weight on it, while the suspension settings practically do not change. You need to understand that if the spring sag, installing such a spacer will not be able to increase the rigidity of the part. Therefore, the spring must be changed.

Another way to increase the ground clearance of the Priora is to install larger tires. Of course, you cannot simply change the wheel size from R 13 (14) to R 15, but installing a tire with a higher profile is quite acceptable. Instead of 175/55 R 14, you can use 175/70 R 14. But the driver should not forget that a higher wheel profile behaves slightly worse when cornering, and take this fact into account when choosing a speed.

Smart electronics

When tuning a Priora sedan or hatchback, a very useful addition will be the installation of an on-board computer that displays data from the engine. It will allow you to control the behavior of the car and, in case of problems, will signal the owner of the car about problems that have arisen. This is done by installing special small sensors throughout the machine.

A GPS navigator will be very useful. With its help, you can easily create a more convenient route.

At the same time, the chances of getting lost in an unfamiliar area are significantly reduced, since the maps loaded into the device are constantly updated.

The DVR will help you avoid unpleasant incidents. By recording all events on camera, the driver additionally provides himself with protection (if he does not violate traffic rules). In the event of incidents (accidents) where the car owner is not at fault, the registrar will become a witness confirming the innocence of the car owner.

Installing spacers on a car

Spacers are parts installed between the car body and its racks. They are attached directly to the support. Since so many motorists resort to increasing ground clearance, some manufacturers include spacers directly in the kit with the struts for the car.

But if you did not find them during your inspection of existing industrial parts, then do not despair. Spacers can be found in any auto market. Just don’t expect any indescribable miracles from them. The clearance will increase by only 12-15 mm. Although this is not enough when crossing the deepest holes and potholes, it can completely help out during a meeting with a speed bump.

Moreover, interfering with the car's structure using spacers is considered completely harmless, and therefore you will not be afraid that it will have a bad effect on the car's behavior. Developing the topic of safety, we should remember the need to purchase plastic spacers as they are more reliable.

We tune the Priora to quickly accelerate to 100!

Acceleration to 100 can be reduced in time terms if, to reduce the moment of inertia of the wheels, the Priora is equipped with lightweight wheels that comply with the manufacturer’s recommendations (reduce the overall weight) and that do not have too large cutouts (aerodynamics).

You can also install the widest possible tires, but at the same time the lightest possible specifications 175/65 r 14, 185/60 r 14 or 185/65 r 14 (increase the contact patch with the road), and try to set records on heated tires. To do this, you need to drive for about 10 minutes before the control run, as is done in Formula I races, or perform wheel slip.

Acceleration to 100 km/h in less time is possible for the Lada Priora model if the number of gearbox stages is increased from the standard five to six. In this case, you can buy a ready-made assembly of a number of gears with the following parameters: for the first gear 3.17 (38/12), for the second - 2.11 (40/19), third - 1.48 (40/27), fourth - 1 .13 (35/31), fifth - 0.89, sixth - 0.78 with row 18. This configuration provides trouble-free dynamics during acceleration, but will cost the owner of the Priora 13-14 thousand rubles. for parts and about 6-7 thousand rubles. for work in the workshop.

Pros and cons of houses

The houses have several advantages that will entice every Priora owner to install them.

Pros:

• Increased ground clearance allows you to overcome previously inaccessible obstacles;
• Ability to load heavier cargo into the trunk;
• After installing the houses, the car becomes more versatile;

Minuses:

• The car’s center of gravity shifts slightly and when the trunk is empty, the car’s controllability is lost;
• After installation, headlight adjustment is necessary;

What to choose?

The Seven lends itself very well to tuning; it is relatively cheap, simple and interesting. Even the most minimal modifications can make the car much better and more attractive than the cars produced by the plant. One type of such modifications is replacing parts in the rear suspension. Many owners try to install stiffer parts in the suspension. Let's try to figure out what this gives to the car and the owner. This modification dramatically increases the sensitivity of the steering wheel to movements from the driver. Aerodynamics become such that during a sharp turn, the wheels on the opposite side of the roll may even come off the road, which greatly impairs their grip on the road surface. Most often, springs from the VAZ 2104 are installed in the rear suspension. Such a replacement may not be advisable in all cases. Experts recommend such a replacement with machines that switch to using gas fuel, especially methane. Cylinders for this fuel have a significant weight, so installing such parts will be very useful. For such products, it is recommended to install shock absorbers from Niva, the stroke of which is greater than standard ones.

Fans of sporty travel styles install products with reduced rigidity. They have green markings. I would like to warn you that driving a car with such parts on country roads will add problems to the owners. Many drivers deal with them in a completely radical way. On reinforced products they cut off exactly one turn. You need to approach this very carefully, since if you cut off a little more, the parts may simply fall out of their seats. I would like to warn you that the products should be changed in pairs, that is, both parts are changed on the same axis. It’s up to you to decide which springs to put on the VAZ 2107 to replace the “sagging” ones, but approach this issue in a balanced manner to avoid unnecessary problems.
