Engine 11183 is the engine installed on the cheapest versions of budget VAZ cars: the Lada Kalina sedan (2001 - 2011) and the Lada Granta model that replaced it (2011). They replaced the Samara family of cars that had been produced for a long time.
The VAZ 11183 engine is a product of modernization of the well-known 2111 engine, which in turn replaced the outdated (carburetor) 21083.
Engine 11183 (another name for VAZ 21114 engine) differs from 2111 (cylinder capacity 1.5 liters):
- height of the cylinder block;
- increased piston stroke.
Due to this, the designers managed to increase the volume of the cylinders and increase the engine power. As a result of the work carried out, engine 11183 significantly improved its performance characteristics (reliability, environmental friendliness, etc.). Due to the fact that its assembly is carried out at various production sites of AvtoVAZ OJSC, the engine is known to car enthusiasts under the names:
- 11183;
- engine 21114;
- 2114;
- Kalina motor;
- motor Kalina, etc.

Comparison of configurations
Lada Kalina 2 has the following configurations:
- Standard;
- Classic;
- Comfort;
- Luxe.
In the Cross modification, Classic is considered the base option. In “Sport” there are only two equipment options:
- Drive Active;
- Sport.
As an example, here is the minimum equipment of the Kalina station wagon:
- roof rails;
- electric power steering;
- central locking;
- front power windows;
- driver airbag;
- ISOFIX fastenings;
- safety systems: anti-lock braking system ABS, brake force distribution EBD, auxiliary braking BAS;
- immobilizer
We will also tell you about the equipment of the Kalina Sport in the top configuration. In addition to the options listed above, it includes:
- front passenger airbag;
- "foglights";
- disc brakes on both axles, with the front ones being larger in size;
- leather-wrapped steering wheel with eye-catching red trim;
- steering column height adjustment;
- heated windshield;
- rain and light sensors;
- rear parking sensors;
- heated and electric side mirrors;
- electric power windows for all doors;
- heated front seats;
- Hands Free/Bluetooth system.
For domestic cars, such a functional set is a serious achievement.
Description
Like all previous models, the VAZ 11183 engine is a classic four-stroke, in-line, 4-cylinder power unit with an overhead camshaft.
The increase in cylinder volume was achieved through the use of a higher cylinder block than that of the prototype. Its height is 2.3 mm higher than the height of the 2111 engine block and is 197.1 mm (from the crankshaft axis to the top surface). The diameter of the cylinders did not change, but the dimensions and shape of the combustion chamber had to be changed.
The cylinder head is made of aluminum alloy. A camshaft is installed in its upper part, and special ducts are cast in the lower part, designed to supply coolant to the combustion chambers. The same channels are also available in the cylinder block housing.
The crankshaft and camshaft of the engine are cast from cast iron, the pistons are made from aluminum alloy. Forged connecting rods (steel).
Appearance
The smile of the “laughing dolphin” became more open. The embossed hood, combined with a large air intake and a slanted “foglight” cut, makes the car’s exterior modern. The headlights seem to be connected by a chrome trim placed on the radiator grille. Large glass areas enable the driver and passengers to correctly assess the traffic situation and enjoy the surrounding landscape.
Second generation cars were produced in hatchback and station wagon body styles. The sedan ceased to exist, giving way to the Lada Grante.
The Kalina Cross received the greatest changes compared to previous modifications. This is an improved version of the model, with more outstanding technical characteristics, reinforced suspension, and increased ground clearance (182 mm).
The plant also produced the Sport modification. It features a lower ground clearance of 145 mm, which improves dynamic performance. A spoiler on the rear door and larger radius wheels (195/50 R16 and 185/50 R15) emphasize its sporty style.
Roof rails make the Kalina not only taller, but also more solid. This is also facilitated by the appearance of decorative plastic linings placed on the body.
Buyers are offered a choice of seven body color options:
- "White cloud";
- "Panther", black;
- "orange";
- Riesling, silver;
- "blue planet", blue;
- “coriander”, golden brown;
- "Borneo", dark gray, silver.
The last five can be made for an additional cost in metallic paint.
Dimensions
Here are the details of the updated car:
- dimensions of the Kalina hatchback: 3,893 x 1,700 x 1,500 mm;
- wheelbase – 2,476 mm;
- The ground clearance of this modification remained unchanged - 160 mm;
- vehicle weight in running order – 1,160 kg;
- total weight – 1,560 kg.
Tire size Kalina 2: 175/65 R14. Fuel tank volume – 50 l. Note that the length of the car in the station wagon body is 4,084 mm.
Interior
There have been minor changes inside the car. The furnishings correspond to the budget class of the car, but nevertheless it looks quite decent. The appearance of round-shaped ventilation grilles, borrowed from VAZ’s partner Renault, is noticeable. The laconic interior is enlivened by silver-look inserts in various places in the cabin.
In the middle of the dashboard is the multimedia system display. It does not have any special technical sophistication, but is quite informative. In addition, various modifications have their own interior design. The “Cross” version can be trimmed with orange material inserts.
Despite the small dimensions of the Kalina 2 hatchback, its interior has good spatial volume. The luggage compartment cannot boast of a large size: 240 liters in the standard position, 550 liters when transforming the second row of seats.
Maintenance
The gas distribution mechanism is driven by a belt, which requires replacement every 45 thousand km. mileage In addition, valve clearances also require periodic adjustment.
A significant advantage of the VAZ 11183 engine is that if the drive belt breaks, hard contact of the valve with the piston surface is eliminated (the valves do not bend).
Maintenance that ensures long-term operation of the power unit comes down to:
- regularly inspect the engine to detect oil and coolant leaks. If any defects are identified, they must be eliminated;
- timely replacement of engine oil - every 15,000 km.
Dimensions value
The Kalina family is small but friendly. Some are a little bigger, some are a little smaller, but together they can make it to the parade. The body of the Lada Kalina is made in several modern modifications: sedan, hatchback, station wagon, cross and sport. Their overall dimensions do not vary much.
| Sedan | Hatchback | Station wagon | Cross | Sport | |
| Length, mm | 4040 | 3850 | 4040 | 4104 | 3943 |
| Width, mm | 1700 | 1700 | 1700 | 1700 | 1700 |
| Height | 1500 | 1500 | 1500 | 1560 | 1450 |
| Weight | 1098 | 1098 | 1128 | 1125 | 1150 |
| Base | 2476 | 2476 | 2476 | 2476 | 2476 |
| Clearance | 160 | 160 | 145-160 | 183 | 150 |
The width and wheelbase are the same for all, as it should be for related models. But the length, height and ground clearance are different. Accordingly, the volumes and masses are different. The history of Lada models has seen long stagnation and a period of failure. In 2004, the release of the first Kalina from the assembly line ushered in a new era. Since then, new items appear almost every season, and the ranks of owners of the most popular car in Russia are growing from year to year.
The geometric dimensions of the body are important, but no less interesting is the volume of the trunk. All Kalina models are designed to allow the rear seats to be folded forward and increase luggage compartment space. The most voluminous trunks are for the sedan, station wagon and cross: 355/670 liters. “Hatchback” and “sport” are more modest - 240/550 hp. It’s also not bad, as many city car owners will agree with.
In the ranks of Kalina there is another model - Lada Kalina City (Oka-3), made on the VAZ-1117 platform. It appeared in 2005 and for some time was considered a replacement for the Oka small car, but this assumption is incorrect. It has almost the same dimensions, height and width as other Kalinas, only the length is 3650 mm.
There is another dimensional indicator that is rarely interested in until they get stuck in a rut. At this point, some people discover the fact that the distance between the front wheels is different from the distance between the rear. This parameter is called: front and rear wheel track. For the “sedan” and “hatchback” with “station wagon” - 1430/1414 mm, for the “sport” - 1431/1432 mm and for the “cross” - 1430/1418 mm.

The difference in millimeters may not be noticeable to the eye, but it is easy to feel when a few millimeters are not enough to get out of an icy rut on a winter road. The track size turned out to be wrong.
Malfunctions
Motor 11183 is characterized by malfunctions that are typical for all power units produced by AvtoVAZ OJSC.
| FAULTS | CAUSES | REMEDY METHODS |
| The engine does not warm up to the required temperature. | Thermostat is faulty. | Replace thermostat. |
| Knocking and noise in the engine. | 1. Valve clearances are not adjusted. 2. Wear of the crankshaft main bearings. 3. Wear of connecting rod bearings. 4. Pistons knock | Adjust valve clearances. Malfunctions associated with wear of bearings and the need to replace pistons are recommended to be repaired in a specialized car service center. |
| The engine operates unstably (“speeds float”, “troits”, etc.) | 1. The throttle position sensor is faulty. 2. The valve has burned out. 3. The gasket is broken. 4. The ignition module is faulty. | ŸReplace the faulty sensor. Measure compression in cylinders. If it is below normal, then the malfunction is hidden in the gas distribution mechanism. If compression is normal, the fault must be looked for in the ignition module. |
Lada Kalina car engine parameters
Lada Kalina is a budget Russian car. The main element of a car is the engine. The Lada Kalina engine is a completely domestic development. This is an improved power unit from the eighth model of the Lada. He passed the main test of time. The first engine was released back in 1984. True, they were smaller in volume than now.
Tuning
Engine tuning is most often carried out in order to increase the power above that indicated in the passport. On a VAZ 11183 engine, it can be increased without special costs through a number of sequential operations:
- Increase engine power to 90 hp. With. It is possible if you replace the existing camshaft with “OKB Dinamika 108” or “Nuzhdin 10.93” and install a split gear. With the correct phase settings, the power unit can develop power up to 90 hp. With.
- By installing a receiver, an enlarged 54 mm throttle body and a Spider 4-2-1 exhaust, you can increase the engine power to 100 hp. With.
- After modification of the cylinder head and intake manifold, the engine power will increase to 115 hp. With. True, for this it is necessary to replace the standard valves with lighter ones (T-shaped).
- By replacing the piston group with a lighter one (for example, from a LADA Priora car), we get a power of more than 120 hp. With.
The same result can be obtained if you install on the engine:
- compressor PK-23-1;
- camshaft “Nuzhdin 10.42” or “Nuzhdin 10.63”.
The power of the 8-valve power unit can be further increased, but this will lead to a significant reduction in its service life.
Safety
If we compare it with the previous generation of the model, work has been done to improve the safety of people inside the car.
Let us list the elements of the system:
- Airbag for driver and passenger safety (in luxury version).
- Head restraints for the rear row of seats.
- Emergency assistance system ERA-Glonass.
- ABS, EBD devices.
- Immobilizer.
- System (ESC) of exchange rate stability.
In the luxury configuration, it is possible to install an ISOFIX child seat restraint system.
Car engine modernization
Tuning the Lada Kalina engine is carried out mainly by professional racers.
And the Lada Kalina Sport model is more suitable for this. Although for the common man there is something to work on here. The term “modernization” would be more appropriate here. This refers to the installation of crankcase protection on the Lada Kalina. Not all trim levels will have such an option, and its importance is difficult to overestimate. In addition, according to motorists, the factory engine protection is only decorative and can only protect against dust deposits. Therefore, all owners of Lada Kalina cars, regardless of the configuration, should install this element. You can buy engine protection for a price starting from 550 rubles, and you can install it yourself, in 15 minutes. It is worth noting that the sheet must be selected from 2 mm or thicker.
To install engine protection yourself, you will need: 8 and 10 sockets, a ratchet or wrench, and an extension cord. For ease of installation, it is better to drive the car into a pit or, in extreme cases, lift it from the front on two jacks. Holding the sheet with one hand, we begin to attach the bolts; we don’t need to screw them in all the way yet.
