How and why a turbine is installed on a VAZ 2106 car

Improved "six"

Almost every car enthusiast of our time is trying to somehow modernize his car. People strive to improve the driving performance of a car almost immediately after purchasing it. For the same purpose, a turbine is installed on the VAZ 2106.

Increasing engine power is the main process of modifying a car. You can endlessly install pumped parts into the engine, but without installing a turbocharging system, the car will not become as powerful as we would like.

Review of the compressor for the carburetor "seven"

Below we will review the compressor for the VAZ 2107 with a carburetor. Let’s take the PK-05d compressor as an example, since this device is the most popular among owners of “Sevens”. The excess air pressure indicator is 0.5 bar at an engine speed of 6,200. It is immediately worth noting that the installation of this device does not imply serious intervention in the engine structure. Namely, the owner of a VAZ 2107 with a carburetor will not need to redo the piston group.

VAZ 2107 car

You can install a compressor for a VAZ 2107 carburetor on your own, without the help of specialists. Of course, if you have an idea of ​​how it should be done. As for the advantages, recently many improvements have been made to the operation of these devices, which allows them to operate almost silently. If we talk about sizes, the “pk-05d” model is relatively small in size, but there are also more bulky designs on the automotive market.

By design, the compressor consists of two parts: the centrifugal device itself, as well as a high-speed multiplier. During operation, this device is not serviced, and the drive itself is carried out by a poly-V-belt from the engine crankshaft. As for the appearance, we will not consider it, since it, like the dimensions of the compressor, depends solely on the manufacturer.

In such mechanisms, the high-speed multiplier is assembled on special bearings. They should be replaced at least every 50 thousand kilometers. The torque itself is transmitted using special belts, which need to be changed at the same intervals as the bearings.

Compressor for VAZ 2107 carburetor

For the compressor to function, it does not need to be supplied with antifreeze or engine oil. For installation, you should not change the design of the motor either. The only thing that needs to be done is to replace the shafts of the generator, crank pulley, and also the water pump for installing the serpentine belt. As a rule, for the VAZ 2107 in such cases, craftsmen use a belt from a Chevrolet Niva. After installing a standard compressor, the vehicle's power rating will increase by 50%.

Suitable engines

The easiest way is to make a VAZ turbo based on a 16-valve unit. It has a fairly simple design and is therefore also easy to tune and maintain.

And most importantly, it is ideal for motorsports, as it can produce sufficient power at minimal cost.

Old engines equipped with a carburetor power system are practically not amenable to such tuning. But some craftsmen still build a turbo VAZ-2106. 8-valve injection engines would be suitable for civilian use, but in motorsport every horsepower is needed and important. Auto tuning experts recommend using 16-valve VAZ engines.

Installation of a turbocharging system

There are two methods for installing turbines on the “six”:

• connection to the collector;
• connection to the carburetor;

The vast majority of drivers are inclined towards the second option, since there is less hassle with it. In addition, in the case of a carburetor connection, the fuel mixture is formed directly, bypassing the manifold. To establish this connection, you will need the following things:

• spanners included;
• flat screwdriver;
• two empty containers for draining antifreeze and lubricant.

Sequence of connecting a full-fledged turbine

First of all, it should be said that a turbine is a rather large device. Therefore, it will require space in the engine compartment. Since space is limited, many 6 owners install turbines where the battery is installed. The battery itself is removed from under the hood and installed in the trunk. It should be noted here that the sequence of connecting the turbocharging system depends on what type of engine is installed on the “six”. If the car owner has the earliest version of the “six”, then a new intake manifold will have to be installed on it, since the standard one will not be able to work with the turbine. Only after these preparatory operations can you proceed directly to installing the turbocharging system.

1. First, the additional intake duct is installed.
2. The exhaust manifold is removed. A small section of air pipe is installed in its place.
3. Now the air filter is removed along with the generator.
4. Antifreeze is drained from the main radiator (before draining, an empty container should be placed under the radiator).
5. The hose that connects the engine to the cooling system is disconnected.
6. The lubricant is drained into a previously prepared container.
7. A hole is drilled on the engine cover using an electric drill. A thread is cut into it using a tap, after which a cross-shaped adapter is installed in this hole.
8. The oil sensor is unscrewed.
9. The turbine is connected to a previously installed air pipe.

Compressor connection sequence

It was mentioned above that connecting a full-fledged turbocharging system to an old “six” may not always be justified, and that installing a conventional compressor may be a more acceptable option for many drivers. So it makes sense to analyze the installation sequence of this device.

1. The old air filter is removed from the inlet air pipe. A new one is installed in its place; the resistance of this filter should be zero.
2. Now take a piece of special wire (it usually comes with the compressor). One end of this wire is screwed to the fitting on the carburetor, the other end is attached to the air outlet pipe on the compressor. Steel clamps from the kit are usually used as fasteners.
3. The turbocharger itself is installed next to the distributor (there is enough space there, so a medium-sized compressor can be installed without problems).
4. Almost all modern compressors come complete with mounting brackets. These brackets are used to attach the compressor to the cylinder block.
5. After installing the compressor, it is not possible to install a standard air filter. Therefore, instead of filters in standard housings, drivers install special boxes made of plastic. Such a box serves as a kind of adapter when pumping air. Moreover, the tighter the box, the more efficient the compressor will work.
6. Now a new filter is installed on the suction tube, the resistance of which tends to zero.

This sequence is the simplest and at the same time the most effective when installing a turbocharger on all VAZ “classics”. While installing this system, the driver himself can look for new ways to improve the tightness of the box and pipe connections. Many people use regular high-temperature sealant for this, which can be found at any auto parts store.

What you need to know about supercharging

Turbocharging is the forced injection of air into the combustion chambers by creating a high-pressure zone at the inlet of the intake tract. When the driver of the car presses the pedal and the throttle valve opens, significantly more air will enter the intake manifold than if it were supplied at atmospheric pressure. As the amount of oxygen increases, the carburetor or injector also increases the amount of fuel. Due to this, the engine power increases.

The combustion chamber has a fixed size, and its volume is a constant value. On a standard engine, only a limited amount of the fuel mixture fits into it. To increase power, it is necessary to place a larger volume of fuel in the cylinder. This is achieved by creating high pressure, which will compress the mixture. Then it will take up less space. This is why turbocharging is needed.

Advantages and disadvantages

Turbocharged engines have their strengths and weaknesses, so you shouldn’t believe automakers’ statements about their clear advantage. Before deciding to choose a car equipped with a turbocharged gasoline engine, you should weigh the pros and cons.

Advantages

The main advantage of a turbocharged engine is its increased power, and one cannot but agree with the manufacturers on this. In terms of power, with a similar cylinder volume, the unit exceeds atmospheric engines by 20–30%. Additional advantages of installing a turbocharger on a motor are as follows:

1. Increasing operating efficiency by optimizing the combustion process of the airless mixture in the cylinders. Thanks to this, fuel consumption to ensure the operation of a similar amount of naturally aspirated engine horsepower is significantly reduced.
2. Reduced noise and vibration levels while driving.
3. Environmentally friendly. Efficient combustion of fuel inside the cylinders significantly reduces the amount of emissions into the atmosphere through the exhaust pipe. Experts say that the introduction of new emission standards in Europe and the United States has increased the production of cars with turbocharged gasoline engines by 25%.
4. Compact sizes. An engine with three or even two cylinders is comparable in power to a four-cylinder naturally aspirated one. Thanks to its optimal dimensions, such an engine has a greater number of placement options in the car.

Flaws

For all its advantages, turbocharging also has some negative sides:

1. Increased sensitivity to fuel quality. This implies the need to use higher grade gasoline. A turbocharged engine will quickly fail if forced to run on 92 gasoline.
2. With active use of the turbine, fuel consumption increases by 1.5 times. Fans of driving in the "gas to the floor" style will fill the tank of their car twice as often.
3. The need for frequent oil changes. Lubricant is added to the engine and directly to the turbocharger unit, so its consumption increases. The requirements for the brand of oil are also quite stringent: you can only use high-quality synthetic brands, the cost of which is an order of magnitude higher than mineral or semi-synthetic lubricants. To this should be added the need for frequent oil changes: every 8,000 kilometers. While in atmospheric engines the procedure can be carried out after 12 and even 15 thousand kilometers. Untimely replacement of oil and filters will lead to changes in turbine parameters and its rapid failure.
4. Expensive repairs. Components for turbocharged engines are quite expensive, so their repair requires a significant investment. The cost of repairs increases further due to the lack of qualified service station workers. Not every car service center will repair a turbocharged engine, and you will have to pay 40–50% more for the qualifications of the technicians. A major overhaul of a turbocharged engine is required every 150–200 thousand kilometers.
5. Features of operation. A car with a turbo engine must be started and stopped correctly. After starting, the engine must idle, and the older the car, the longer the “run” is needed. After stopping the car, you should also not immediately turn off the engine.
6. Manifestation of the “turbo lag” effect. This is the name given to a characteristic failure when the car reacts sluggishly to pressing the gas pedal. The engine “does not pull” at low speeds, as a result the car cannot move sharply. With heavy traffic and difficult road conditions in megacities, this is a rather dangerous phenomenon. To solve the problem, the designers propose installing two turbines on the engine, one of which will operate at low speeds due to being equipped with an electric drive. This will reduce the risk of turbo jams, but will additionally increase the cost of the engine and at the same time reduce its reliability.

A turbocharged engine is more likely to undergo expensive repairs and require high-quality fuel

Turbine for carburetor VAZ 2107

Many car enthusiasts interested in car modernization set out to install a turbocharger on their VAZ 2107. However, upon studying the topic in more detail, most VAZ 2107 owners come to the conclusion that installing a turbine on a carburetor is unsafe and too expensive.

That is why VAZ 2107 owners are faced with a choice - to refuse to install a turbine in favor of a compressor or to replace the carburetor with an injector. Let's look at the reasons why it is not recommended to install a turbocharger on a carburetor. The main reason is the danger of an explosion from the exhaust manifold caused by too high pressure generated by the turbine. The second important factor is the complexity of the installation, and therefore it is recommended to entrust this matter to professionals.

Having added up all the pros and cons, we will consider the option of installing a compressor on a VAZ 2107 carburetor as the most optimal. First of all, you need to purchase the compressor itself with a set of accessories for connecting to the engine. It looks something like the following photo.

The compressor is installed next to the distributor, in free space. The standard kit includes a special bracket for mounting the compressor on the front of the cylinder block. On the same bracket you can install additional tension rollers for the drive belt.

Once installed it will look like this:

Another significant modification is the installation of a special box on the carburetor instead of an air filter, which acts as an adapter for air injection.

This is one of the adapter options, the simplest and has a number of disadvantages. In particular, the efficiency of the pressurization system is reduced due to leaks in the carburetor itself. To eliminate these shortcomings, instead of the specified adapter, the carburetor can be placed in a completely sealed housing and air can be forced into it. There is already room here for the car owner’s flight of fancy.

All that remains is to connect the outlet nozzle of the compressor to the inlet of the carburetor with special pipelines, tighten the joints of the individual parts with special clamps to ensure tightness, and hermetically close the lid of the adapter box.

Since we had to remove the standard air filter during the modernization process, we should consider cleaning the air in another way. The simplest option is to install a special air filter on the suction pipe.

This element is characterized by increased quality and durability, so its use is preferable. After installing it, the engine with the compressor installed will look like this.

All that remains is to put on the drive belt and the engine is ready to start. This is the simplest, budget option for improving the engine. If you have the funds and desire, you can apply some modifications to the carburetor and work on sealing all connections. There are no restrictions for those who want to achieve more. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X_4mBJQ_QA

Installation of a turbine on a VAZ 2107

Installing a turbine allows you to double the power of the VAZ 2107 engine without increasing fuel consumption.

Reasons for installing a turbine on a VAZ 2107

Installing a turbine on a VAZ 2107 will allow:

• reduce vehicle acceleration time;
• reduce fuel consumption of injection engines;
• increase engine power.

Turbine operating principle

To increase engine power, you need to make the supply of the fuel-air mixture to the combustion chambers more intense. The turbine crashes into the exhaust system, is driven by a stream of exhaust gases and, using the energy of these gases, increases the pressure in the power unit. As a result, the rate of mixture entering the cylinders increases.

Under normal conditions, the VAZ 2107 engine has a gasoline combustion rate of about 25%. After installing a turbocharger, this figure increases noticeably and the engine efficiency increases.

Installing a turbine allows you to make the engine more powerful without increasing fuel consumption

Choosing a turbine for VAZ 2107

There are two types of turbines:

• low-performance (boost pressure 0.2–0.4 bar);
• high-performance (boost pressure 1 bar and above).

Installing a second type turbine will require a major engine upgrade. Installation of a low-performance device will ensure compliance with all parameters regulated by the automaker.

Before turbocharging the VAZ 2107 engine you will need:

1. Intercooler installation. When using a turbine, the air heats up to 700°C. Without additional cooling, not only can the compressor burn out, but the engine itself can be damaged.
2. Conversion of a carburetor fuel supply system to an injection system. A weak intake manifold on carburetor engines will not withstand the pressure of the turbine and may rupture. On units with a carburetor, you can install a compressor instead of full turbocharging.

In general, the advantages of the VAZ 2107 turbocharged engine are very doubtful. Therefore, before installing a turbine on a discontinued car with modest technical characteristics, you should carefully evaluate the feasibility of the decision being made. It is much easier to install a compressor on a VAZ 2107. In this case:

• there will be no excess pressure in the system that could destroy the manifold, car suspension, etc.;
• no need to install an intercooler;
• no need to convert the carburetor system to an injection system;
• the cost of re-equipment will be reduced - the complete compressor costs about 35 thousand rubles, which is much lower than the cost of the turbine;
• Engine power will increase by 50%.
  Installing a compressor on a VAZ 2107 is much simpler, safer and more profitable than installing a full-fledged turbine

I had to watch with my own eyes how a VAZ 2107 with a turbocharged engine rushes. It is difficult to overtake it on the highway, but the car cannot maintain speed for a long time, in my opinion, although I have not driven it myself.

Final result

How to set the ignition on a VAZ 2106 yourself

During the research, the turbine installed on the VAZ 2107 engine injector showed the following results: provided that the clutch and tires are of high quality, the acceleration time to 100 km/h is reduced by 5 seconds (compared to the base engine). The same principle applies to elasticity: acceleration time in 4th gear from 60 to 100 km/h is also reduced by 5 seconds.

Practical implementation

The idea itself is simple. However, it is difficult to implement it on the VAZ 2107. Representatives of companies that will undertake the production of turbochargers are counted on the fingers of one hand. But turbine kits for installation on a conventional injector began to appear on the market. The kit includes all the pipes, a new block cover, the turbine itself and the intercooler.

The difficulties of installation and further adaptation to the injector are as follows:

• The exhaust gas temperature level that the turbine must withstand is theoretically between 900˚C and 950˚C.
• The working speed of the rotor injector with the impeller is numerically represented not only in tens, but in hundreds of thousands of revolutions per minute.
• The functional resources of the volume of engine compartments of passenger cars are limited, and therefore require the manufacturer to place the unit within a specific framework.

Based on the above, a turbocharger must have high heat resistance, be compact, well-balanced, and at the same time inexpensive.

About installing a compressor on a VAZ 2107 injector car

Installing a compressor on an injection VAZ 2107
It should be noted that currently there are only 2 options for installing this part on a car:

• experimental setup;
• installation using ready-made kits.

Each of these methods has both advantages and disadvantages.

Experimental compressor setup

If the choice fell on this method, then you will need to use foreign-made parts. Simply put, you will need a compressor from a foreign car. In order to install it, you will need to perform the following steps sequentially:

1. Determine what the compressor will be supported on.
2. Decide which drive will be used for it.
3. Calculate the required fuel system performance.
4. Determine how much work needs to be done on the internal combustion engine so that it can function normally with the installed compressor.
5. Provide piping, as well as a bypass valve or similar valve (depending on the type of pressure control system).
6. Choose the appropriate one, and then carry out chip tuning in order to properly configure the internal combustion engine to function in new conditions.

Disadvantages and advantages of experimental compressor installation

This option of increasing engine power has a number of serious disadvantages. The main one among them all is the need to carry out quite painstaking work to create an individual project. In the future, specific parts will have to be selected to suit its parameters, which are not always easy to obtain. In addition, any miscalculation, even a small one, can lead to serious consequences for the performance of the entire car. At the same time, for the experimental installation of a compressor for a VAZ 2107 car, the help of specialists may be needed. Ultimately, it is far from certain that the system created using the experimental method will work correctly and all the money and effort spent will not be in vain.

Unfortunately, this installation option does not boast many advantages. Almost the only one among them is the exclusivity of the resulting VAZ 2107 car. The fact is that such a technique was created at a time when there were no professional factory kits yet. With their appearance, the experimental installation became a subject of boasting about the uniqueness of the machine and nothing more. However, most often the reliability of a self-installed compressor leaves much to be desired. Naturally, the owner of the car will not receive any help or compensation for losses if it breaks down.

Compressor VAZ 2107

These systems are complete sets that include a compressor, as well as everything necessary to ensure its joint operation with the VAZ injector engine. KIT kits come in two types.

The first of them is a homemade system, which is manufactured using a homemade method using used compressors removed from foreign-made cars and adapted for installation on VAZ 2107 engines.

The second option involves the use of Chinese factory-assembled kits. Their advantages over hand-made systems are greater reliability and an attractive price. In addition, it is worth noting that adapting such a compressor and everything that comes with it to VAZ cars is much simpler, because it is manufactured specifically for 2107 engines. In addition, KIT kits are distinguished by their simplicity. As a result, almost every car owner with at least basic knowledge of its structure is able to install a compressor without outside help.

It is worth noting that on the market you can purchase both a truly factory kit, which is covered by a warranty, and a cheaper sample. No one can guarantee the stability of such a system.

Where to begin?

Not every car is suitable for tuning

It is important to pay attention to the condition of the car. It is better to disassemble the car to the ground. The main problem is corrosion

You need to understand that the metal on AvtoVAZ cars is quite thin, and high loads are contraindicated for it. If you apply a serious load, the rusty metal will literally tear

The main problem is corrosion. You need to understand that the metal on AvtoVAZ cars is quite thin, and high loads are contraindicated for it. If you apply a serious load, the rusty metal will literally tear.

You should start by replacing the metal in the engine compartment with a more powerful one. When all body faults have been repaired, you can continue tuning further. If the car was purchased specifically for tuning, then the first thing you need to do is get it moving in stock condition. Next, they change the electrical wiring, bring the engine into good condition, or change it to a sixteen-valve one. The brake system and transmission are also inspected.

This is the first point from which the instructions for turbocharging begin. When the iron has returned to an ideal, close to factory condition, you can continue further. Moreover, we already know enough about turbocharging equipment.

8-valve engine kit

The turbo kit for the 8-valve engine has the following characteristics. It is capable of generating pressure up to 0.5 Bar. With this kit you can increase power to 120 horsepower and torque to 190 Nm. Installing this kit does not affect the life of the power unit in any way. Installation is quite simple, and all parts from the kit are hinged. There is no need to modify the engine in any way for installation.

The turbo kit includes:

• Steel manifold.
• Turbocharger.
• Gaskets.
• Oil supply hose.
• Coolant supply system.
• Valve for releasing excess pressure.
• Connecting elements.
• Fasteners and other parts.

The set for 16-valve units is completely similar. Its technical characteristics are also similar. On sale you can find a turbo kit for an 8-valve engine with a power of up to 250 horsepower. A turbocharger with a pressure of 1 bar is used here.

How expensive is it

The cost of modifying a car entirely depends on what exactly needs to be improved, what spare parts you will have to buy for this, whether you buy the service at the appropriate car service center or do the tuning yourself. The price of the same change may vary several times depending on your requests. For example, a simple installation of fog lights can cost no more than a thousand rubles if you take inexpensive lamps and do everything yourself. If you want to install it yourself, and even entrust this task to specialists, then be prepared to spend several thousand on it. On the other hand, tuning is not repair. The car can easily survive without these optional modifications. Therefore, you need to take a simpler approach to cost: if you have a desire to improve something and have enough money for it, that’s great; there is no desire or money - well, let it remain as it is.

Installation

It must be remembered that equipping an engine with a turbocharging system is a rather lengthy process. Although kit manufacturers say that you can do without upgrading the engine, this is not entirely true. Where to begin? Of course, with the purchase of the necessary spare parts and preparation of the engine. It is necessary to replace the pistons, rings, cylinder head gasket, fuel regulator, throttle, as well as pipes and other parts. All these mechanisms must be as reliable as possible.

You also need to remember that building a powerful car can vary significantly depending on the turbine model. The instructions will be quite average. For example, in order to build a turbo VAZ-2106, you first need to replace the engine.

It is necessary to install a 16-valve injection unit. The first step is to prepare the engine. The engine is disassembled, the cylinders, crankshaft, connecting rods, and oil pump are checked. If necessary, grind the block. Pistons should be purchased after the cylinders have been prepared.

Next, the attachments are assembled. At this stage, the injectors are installed and the fuel pump is changed. Then a receiver and exhaust manifold are installed and a turbine is used. All steel elements are also installed. And finally, the last stage is setup. The maximum power, torque and other characteristics of the motor will depend on how professionally and correctly the adjustment is performed. If all the operations for preparing and assembling the system can be done with your own hands, then for setup it is better to turn to professionals (especially if the VAZ is a turbo on gas). By the way, there is now a lot of controversy about whether it is possible to install an LPG on a “turbo”. Experts say that the octane number of such a mixture is more than 102. Therefore, gas will not harm the operation of such a power unit.

What to watch out for

After looking at photos of cool tuned sevens, some car enthusiasts begin to look at their “horse” differently. If just yesterday he seemed like a magnificent handsome man, then today I already want to do a little auto tuning on him. Price often doesn't matter. Some “hot guys” install a transparent glass sunroof on their classics, doors that open like a Lamborghini, install a heavy non-original engine, which has an expensive price... How reasonable is all this? In fact, the price of extensive body and engine modifications is extremely inflated. If you have a lot of money and want a cool car, isn’t it better to buy another solution? Fortunately, today there are many good options on the car market for every taste and color. But you should think about your own safety. Proper tuning for the VAZ 2107 is a good thing and often even very useful. It’s not bad when your cabin is warm, there is no unnecessary noise and beautiful music is playing. But many tuned sevens are good only at first glance. Incorrectly set adjustments, unsuitable spare parts, too heavy doors and other “foreign” objects can turn your car not into a means of transportation, but into a real death machine. And what difference will it make to you how your car accelerates if this car gets into a terrible accident? Therefore, before tuning your car, you need to think carefully several times about what exactly should be done and what should be avoided. Don't trust everything they write on the Internet. Consult with experts who really understand these issues. And make only those changes that are truly safe for you and your passengers.
