Turbine for VAZ 2106: installation and testing of turbocharging, instructions with photos and videos

From the moment of purchasing the first car and subsequently, when replacing vehicles, Russian car enthusiasts are constantly trying to improve both the interior of their car and its power characteristics. Therefore, as a modernization option, installing a turbine on a VAZ 2106 is used, as one of the ways to increase the dynamics of the power plant.

Practice shows that work on boosting the engine in combination with tuning the timing of the “six” does not produce the effect of significantly increasing the power of the vehicle, while the turbine shows excellent results in increasing the dynamic characteristics of the engine.

What is the problem with installing a turbine on a “six”? Because This car is not equipped with a turbocharger when it comes off the assembly line, then all work on the installation of this element must be carried out with the invitation of professional mechanics, or independently. However, it must be remembered that installing a VAZ 2106 turbine is a rather complex technological process, and without knowledge and skills in the automotive industry, it is extremely risky to undertake this set of measures.

Visual installation

A sample with a low-pressure turbine and a VAZ 2107 engine with distributed injection involves the use of the following factory parts: cylinder block, crankshaft, connecting rods, camshaft and valves.
The difference in additional components is associated only with the pistons and cylinder head due to the need to reduce the compression ratio during installation. This functional feature is achieved by enlarging the combustion chamber or special pistons. However, there is a theory that the pistons can be factory pistons and you can limit yourself to replacing the head. The injector output also differs. The turbine fills the space between the exhaust pipe and the exhaust manifold. The factory model remains the resonator and muffler. If you need to obtain more power, still use the recommendations for installing a direct-flow exhaust. Injection requires an enlarged receiver and a non-standard control program. The lubrication system also undergoes minor changes. Summarizing the above, we can conclude that the turbine itself will be the most expensive and scarce part.

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.

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.

How to install an air blower yourself

How to set the ignition on a VAZ 2106 yourself

There are several approaches that allow you to install a mechanical air blower on VAZ family cars with your own hands. This means making a device yourself that provides turbo mode or boosting the engine, or using a ready-made KIT kit.

Homemade supercharger for VAZ

With this approach, the mechanical air blower will be decisive. The entire future design depends on it. The main thing is to find an air supercharger from an imported car that meets the requirements, or you will have to use a homemade one. This is also possible, and in this case suitable parts and components from completely unexpected devices, for example, a vacuum cleaner, are used.

When making such a homemade air supercharger, you need to take literally everything into account - dimensions, weight, placement in the engine compartment, how and where the drive pulley and belt will be located, the performance of this device, operating modes (short-term or long-term), the possibility of lubrication and much, much more. Once the compressor becomes clear, it is necessary to calculate the implementation of the turbo mode for the engine.

Even the far from complete list of questions shown shows that making a homemade air supercharger for a VAZ of any family, be it 2107, 2106, 2114, 2112, is quite difficult, but possible. An example would be a photo showing that such work has been successfully completed. True, this is not a VAZ, but the fact itself is important - it is possible to make a homemade air compressor in which its drive unit is connected to the engine crankshaft.

Do-it-yourself drive supercharger - from a KIT kit

Yes, there are such kits on sale that allow you to implement the turbo mode in VAZ 2107, 2106, 2114, 2112 cars with your own hands. As a rule, it includes everything needed to assemble and install such a device on a car - the compressor itself, belts, drive unit , brackets and air ducts. What such a kit is like can be seen in the photo below.

As an advantage of implementing the turbo mode in this way, it is worth noting that it is tailored specifically to VAZ cars of one model or another (2107, 2106, 2114, 2112). The advantages of this approach also include the fact that under some conditions, when the level of additional pressure created is not more than half a bar, no intervention is required in the vehicle’s fuel system.

It is inappropriate to describe the procedure for implementing the turbo mode from such a set; each of them has its own assembly instructions. The disadvantages include the country of origin, but it depends on your luck. The video will additionally help you understand what the car looks like after modification and how to carry it out » alt=»»> One of the ways available to car enthusiasts to boost the engine of an old car and give it a new life is to install an air supercharger. You can do this work yourself if you use commercially available KIT kits for VAZ cars.

Gas turbine

We independently change crankshaft oil seals on a VAZ 2106

Among the features of the turbine, one can highlight its rotation speed. It can reach 200 thousand rpm, and the pressure can reach up to 2 bar. This turbine can increase engine power by up to 50 percent. Turbine bearings rotate at enormous speeds and require lubrication. The system is connected to the lubrication system of the internal combustion engine. The turbine needs a certain time to gain the required speed. Therefore, it will start working only after three thousand revolutions. If you try to press the accelerator pedal sharply at low crankshaft speeds, the exhaust gas pressure will be too low for the unit to operate. You can feel the failures. This phenomenon is called nothing less than “turbo lag”.

Purpose of the turbine

The technical characteristics of the VAZ 2106 engine cannot be called outstanding. For this reason, many car enthusiasts are beginning to modify the engines of their “sixes” on their own. Installing a turbine on a VAZ 2106 engine is the most radical, but also the most effective way to increase engine performance.

By installing a turbine, the driver receives several advantages at once:

the acceleration time of the car from standstill to 100 km/h is almost halved;
engine power and efficiency increase;
Fuel consumption remains virtually unchanged.

How does a car turbine work?

In short, the point of operation of any turbocharging system is to increase the rate of supply of the fuel mixture to the combustion chambers of the engine. The turbine is connected to the exhaust system of the “six”. A powerful stream of exhaust gas hits the impeller in the turbine. The impeller blades rotate and create excess pressure, which is pumped into the fuel supply system.

As a result, the speed of movement of the fuel mixture increases, and this mixture begins to burn much more intensely. The standard six engine has a fuel combustion coefficient of 26–28%. After installing a turbocharging system, this coefficient can increase to 40%, which increases the initial engine efficiency by almost a third.

What does turbocharging do for a car?

Since the VAZ 2106 is not equipped with a turbo system at the factory, like many modern foreign cars, all work to increase the car’s power will have to be done independently in a garage or by hiring a specialist. But it should be borne in mind that installing a turbine is quite a difficult task, and if you have no experience, you should seek help from professionals.

The operating principle of turbocharging is to pump treated and compressed air into the combustion chamber, which leads to mixing gasoline with air and increasing the power of the power unit. The turbine is usually located between the exhaust pipe and the intake manifold. The processed and released gases leaving the combustion chambers rotate a special turbine connected to a compressor. The last unit forces air into the cylinders. The quality of turbine operation directly depends on the amount of used gasoline.

Turbo kit for the "six"

Installing a turbine on a VAZ 2106 has its advantages:

the turbocharger is fairly lightweight;
the turbine can be adjusted for any car engine, for any carburetor;
turbo can be installed on a motor that has undergone tuning;
installation of the unit does not interfere with further modernization of the car;
The turbine is suitable for an engine of any size.

There are 2 types of turbines. A low-pressure unit is a cheaper option, and its installation does not require major changes to the design of the car, which saves money. A high-pressure turbine involves tuning the main components of the machine and is expensive. To install this unit, you will have to redo the exhaust system, injection system and perform engine chip tuning. The car becomes sporty, sharp, agile and dynamic.

Which turbine to choose

The most common equipment for installation on the VAZ 2106 is a turbo kit. It is designed specifically for 16-valve engines of VAZ cars. Turbines are sold along with everything necessary. Installation of the kit does not require modifications to the engine. Power increases to 130-140 horsepower. Moreover, this complex can be subjected to tuning in the future.

Some car enthusiasts prefer turbines and Mitsubishi. Productive and reliable compressors GT25R, GT28R, GT28RS are chosen from the Garrett series. They allow you to develop power up to 250 horsepower.

The VAZ 2106 turbo is designed for high-speed driving on city roads and is not at all similar to the usual Soviet “six”. Do not forget that any car equipped with additional equipment requires attention and care, monitoring the operation of systems and periodic technical inspection.

The pleasure of installing a turbine on a VAZ 2106 will cost half the price of the car itself. It is worth thinking several times whether this device and all additional equipment are really necessary when operating the machine. Typically, the turbine is installed by avid fans of street racing in VAZs.

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:

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.
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%.

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.

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.

But all this costs a lot of money, and at the low price of traditional vases it can cost as much as 2 - 3 cars or a foreign car. Think about it, it’s worth the effort, but to get away from traffic lights, all you need is a compressor and a carburetor engine. I’m not saying that people don’t install a turbocharger on a VAZ 2106 with a carburetor - they still do, but it’s either poorly or incorrectly manufactured, or not cheap, or they are experienced car mechanics with the availability of suitable parts.

when this applies to you, install a turbine on a VAZ. When it makes you think, let’s move on.

How is oil supplied to the turbine?

A complete turbocharging system cannot function without oil. So the driver who decides to install a turbine will have to solve this problem. When the turbine is installed, a special adapter is screwed to it (such adapters usually come complete with turbines). A heat dissipation shield is then installed on the intake manifold. Oil is supplied to the turbine through an adapter onto which a silicone tube is first placed. In addition, the turbine must be equipped with a cooler and an air tube through which air will flow into the manifold. Only in this way can an acceptable temperature of the oil supplied to the turbine be achieved. It should also be said here that sets of pipes and clamps for supplying oil to turbocharging systems can be found in spare parts stores.

A set of turbine pipes will save the driver a lot of time

This set costs from 1200 rubles. Despite the clearly inflated price, such a purchase will save the car owner a lot of time, since he will not have to bother with cutting and adjusting silicone tubes.

About the pipes

Pipes are needed not only for supplying oil. Exhaust gases from the turbine also need to be removed. To remove excess gas not used by the turbine, a massive silicone pipe on steel clamps is used. In some cases, a whole system of silicone pipes is used to remove the exhaust (their number is determined by the design of the turbine). Usually there are two of them, in some cases - four. Before installation, the pipes are carefully inspected for internal contamination. Any, even the smallest, speck that gets into the turbine can cause a breakdown. It is for this reason that each pipe is thoroughly wiped from the inside with a cloth soaked in kerosene.

Exhaust pipes are usually made of silicone

When choosing clamps for pipes, you should remember: silicone is not a very durable material. And if, when installing the pipe, you tighten the steel clamp too much, it can simply cut the pipe. For this reason, experienced motorists recommend not using steel clamps at all, but instead using clamps made of special high-temperature plastic. It provides reliable fastening and does not cut the silicone.

How is the turbine connected to the carburetor?

If the driver decides to connect the turbocharging system directly through the carburetor, then he must be prepared for a number of problems that will have to be solved. Firstly, with this connection method, air consumption will increase significantly. Secondly, the turbine will have to be installed near the carburetor, and there is very little space there. That is why the driver should think twice before using such a technical solution. On the other hand, if the turbine can still be placed next to the carburetor, it will work very efficiently, since it will not have to waste energy supplying air flow through a long system of air ducts.

There are two ways to install a turbine next to the carburetor

Fuel consumption in old carburetors on “sixes” is regulated by three jets. In addition, there are several fuel channels. When the carburetor is operating normally, the pressure in these channels does not rise above 1.8 bar, so these channels perform their functions perfectly. But after installing the turbine, the situation changes. There are two ways to connect the turbocharging system.

Installation behind the carburetor. When the turbine is installed like this, the fuel mixture has to pass through the entire system.
Installation in front of the carburetor. In this case, the turbine will pump air in the opposite direction, and the fuel mixture will not flow through the turbine.

Each method has both advantages and disadvantages:

the first method is much simpler. Yes, the air pressure in the system will not be too high. But the carburetor will not have to be seriously upgraded, installing an additional valve for the compressor and additional coolers;
the second method is much more complicated. The overall pressure in the system will be much higher. At the same time, the CO content in the car exhaust will be lower, and in addition, it will be easier to start a cold engine. But it is more difficult to implement such a connection, since it will be necessary to upgrade the carburetor, as mentioned above.

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.

In what cases is turbocharging equipment necessary?

We install the thermostat from VAZ 2109 to 2110. location, replacement instructions

Many car owners want to equip their car with a turbocharger to increase power characteristics. Modern cars, equipped with engines with a large number of horsepower, do not require such modernization.

Owners of domestic cars that are not particularly powerful are taking this step. It makes sense to equip a small car with a turbocharger. Even a slight increase in horsepower in their engines will be noticeable and will give them better acceleration, improving the dynamics of their performance. This will give you more confidence when overtaking other vehicles on highways.

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.

The principle of operation of the VAZ 2106 with a turbine

The principle of operation of an engine enhanced by turbocharging is as follows: air, suitably processed and in a compressed state, is pumped into the combustion chamber, where it forms an air-fuel mixture, leading to an increase in the power characteristics of the engine. The turbine installed on the VAZ 2106 is usually placed between the air intake pipe and the intake manifold.

The freed gas flow from the combustion chambers of the cylinders gives the turbine connected to the compressor the necessary torque. The compressor directly supplies the air mixture under pressure to the engine cylinders. The efficiency of a VAZ 2106 with a turbine is directly proportional to the volume of burned fuel.

Correct installation of a turbine on a VAZ 2106 has the following advantages:

the turbo component is lightweight and relatively small in size;
the turbine can be adjusted to fit any brand of standard engine with an attached carburetor;
the turbo nozzle can be mounted on a power plant that has been subjected to tuning;
installing a turbine on a “six” is not an obstacle to subsequent modifications to the vehicle’s engine;
The turbo element must be suitable for the “engine” of different volumetric values.

In practice, 2 types of turbines are used: a low-pressure device and a high-pressure device. The low-pressure device is considered less expensive to install, and no special improvements are made to the vehicle design. The high-pressure device requires modification of some key components of the car and this will require a large amount of money to modernize the design.

In order to solve the issue of how to install a turbine on your VAZ 2106 car, you will need to transform a number of vehicle systems: gas exhaust and fuel injection systems, as well as chip tuning of the power plant. After this, the vehicle acquires such qualities as sharpness of movement, throttle response and dynamism.

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 to install a turbine on a Zhiguli

“Piping” is also a rather fascinating concept , especially when you consider that this component will also be useful to you. In fact, there is nothing complicated in the meaning of the designated concept. These are connecting elements that are located between the turbine and the intercooler, as well as between the intercooler and the intake receiver.

From the impeller in the exhaust manifold, the movement is transmitted to the compressor, the design of which allows it not to be afraid of high temperatures and to serve for quite a long time. As a result, air flows under enormous pressure are pumped into the power system, which increases the engine power.

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.

First, the additional intake duct is installed.
The exhaust manifold is removed. A small section of air pipe is installed in its place.
Now the air filter is removed along with the generator.
Antifreeze is drained from the main radiator (before draining, an empty container should be placed under the radiator).
The hose that connects the engine to the cooling system is disconnected.
The lubricant is drained into a previously prepared container.
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.
The oil sensor is unscrewed.
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.

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.
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.
The turbocharger itself is installed next to the distributor (there is enough space there, so a medium-sized compressor can be installed without problems).
Almost all modern compressors come complete with mounting brackets. These brackets are used to attach the compressor to the cylinder block.
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.
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.

Turbocharger

This supercharger is made as a separate unit, which is driven by a drive belt.

The latter will take torque from the crankshaft. The compressor is in no way connected to the lubrication or cooling system of the engine. To relieve excess pressure, which sometimes occurs in the intake tract in some operating modes, an additional valve is connected to the air valves. Often, two types of compressors are used for tuning cars - centrifugal and screw. The first is made in the shape of a snail, inside of which there is an impeller. In a screw compressor, pressure is obtained through the simultaneous rotation of two shafts equipped with blades.

Centrifugal compressors are used for self-tuning of cars. They are more affordable, have small overall dimensions, and are easy to install. Due to the fact that the performance characteristics are limited by the engine speed, it can produce no more than 0.7 Bar of pressure. The compressor can increase engine power from 15% to 30% at maximum speeds of up to 40 thousand per minute. This is a pretty serious indicator.

Among the advantages of compressors are high durability and reliability, low requirements for the condition of the motor, ease of installation, and accessibility. During operation of the turbocharger, pickup occurs at speeds of three or more. The engine immediately responds to pedal pressure - in this case there is no so-called “turbo lag”, which happens when installing other superchargers. However, at high engine speeds (more than five thousand), the increase in power is almost unnoticeable.

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:

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.
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.

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

About connecting turbines to the injector

It is much more expedient to install a turbocharging system on an injection engine than on a carburetor one. Fuel consumption becomes lower and engine performance improves. This primarily relates to environmental parameters. They improve because about a quarter of the exhaust is not released into the environment. In addition, motor vibration will be reduced. The sequence of connecting the turbine to injection engines has already been described in detail above, so there is no point in repeating it. But something still needs to be added. Some owners of injection cars try to further increase the turbo boost. To achieve this, they disassemble the turbine, find a so-called actuator in it and install a reinforced spring under it instead of the standard one. Several tubes are connected to the solenoids in the turbine. These tubes are silenced, but the solenoid remains connected to its connector. All these measures lead to an increase in the pressure created by the turbine by 15–20%.

Pros and cons of turbine, compressor and naturally aspirated engine

Let's consider all these methods of engine tuning separately.

Turbine

Under the hood of a turbocharged VAZ-2112

In recent years, the installation of turbines on cars of the VAZ family has become quite widespread. And there is nothing unexpected about this, since they are the most common, unlike mechanical inflation (compressor - approx.), because they have a number of advantages.

Firstly, the supercharger is located next to the turbine impeller and is built into the exhaust manifold, driving itself with exhaust gases. Secondly, such an arrangement of components can significantly increase the efficiency of the entire engine, because there is no direct connection between the turbine and the crankshaft, since it does not take power from the engine itself. Experienced auto mechanics call this the main advantage of a turbine over a compressor.

Turbine disadvantages

However, the turbine has its drawbacks, and these include “turbo lag”. This effect manifests itself in a slow response to pressing the gas pedal, and at low speeds the turbine operation will not be felt at all. The explanation for this is very simple: in order for the engine to begin to gain power and speed, it requires time for the exhaust gas pressure to increase, which would be able to properly spin the turbine. For exactly the same reason, a turbocharged engine is capable of producing maximum power only after 4000 rpm.

Compressor

The compressor engine starts air movement due to a special mechanical supercharger operating using a belt drive. That is, the operation and power of the engine directly depends on the number of revolutions gained and the higher they are, the higher the power. In the design of the compressor, the air mixture with fuel is not only supplied to the cylinders under pressure, but is also capable of blowing through the exhaust and intake valves when they are not completely closed, thereby cleaning them. Because of this design, the engine is always able to operate at full power.

Disadvantages of the compressor

A significant disadvantage of such a modification is the unreliability of the drive belts, which will one way or another break and become unusable, as well as increased fuel consumption, since the compressor is best installed on engines with a large volume, since the efficiency of interaction with them will be much higher.

Atmospheric engine

When talking about an atmospheric engine, many people think of anything but what actually exists.

The atmospheric engine is both simple and the most complex in its design. Since the ideal fuel-air mixture is supplied to the cylinders of this engine, without any obstacles or resistance in its path. The manifold works perfectly on this engine, the camshaft is adjusted as precisely as possible, the cylinder diameter, piston stroke, and so on are increased. And all this is done to increase the rated power of the engine.

Despite the fact that this is a seemingly ideally built engine, the advantages of which include the strictly accurate response of the gas pedal and a good reserve of power at any speed, it also has disadvantages in comparison with its turbocharged counterpart.

Cons of a naturally aspirated engine

The first disadvantage due to which you can give preference to the “turbo” is the very high fuel consumption and the high degree of wear of the internal parts of the engine. It is also impossible for a naturally aspirated engine to more than double the stock power, whereas a turbocharged engine can increase it several times.
Heavily promoted “aspirated” engines only drive at high speeds, which has a negative effect when driving in urban conditions. They also have a high idle threshold, which is also inconvenient for everyday use.

The simplest and homemade mechanisms

At the beginning of the decade, simple, low-cost mechanisms such as computer coolers, also called electric turbines, appeared on the market. They are located at the entrance and are battery operated. Such electric turbines can be used both on a carburetor and on an injector. According to manufacturers, they increase the air flow entering the engine, accelerating it, resulting in an increase in performance of up to 15%. Parameters (speed, flow, power) are usually not indicated. It is very easy to install such electric turbines on cars with your own hands.

However, in reality, their electric motors develop up to several hundred watts, which is not enough to increase the flow volume, since this requires about 4 kW. Therefore, such a device will become a serious obstacle to entry, as a result of which productivity, on the contrary, will decrease. At best, the losses from it will be small, which will not significantly affect the dynamics.

In addition, on the Internet you can find developments for creating electric turbines with your own hands. Unlike the cheap options mentioned above, they are built on the basis of a centrifugal compressor and a brushless motor with a power of up to 17 kW and a voltage of 50-70 V, since only such a motor can provide sufficient torque and speed to rotate the compressor. The engine must be equipped with a speed controller. This system does not require an intercooler - a cold reception is sufficient. Installation of this type of electric turbines may require replacement of the generator (90-100 A) and battery (with a larger capacity, high current output). The rotation speed of the compressor is determined by the position of the throttle valve. Moreover, the dependence is not linear, but exponential.

It is advisable to create such electric turbines for cars with low-power engines up to 1.5 liters in volume, due to high energy consumption. Moreover, the larger the engine displacement, the lower the boost pressure the supercharger can create. So, on a 0.7-liter engine it will be 0.4 - 0.5 bar, on a 1.5-liter engine - 0.2-0.3 bar. In addition, such a boost will not be able to function for a long time at maximum performance due to heating. However, the controller can be configured to force activation. Due to the high cost of components, it is very expensive to make such an electric turbine. Reviews indicate a noticeable increase in productivity. From a design point of view, these mechanisms, like the cheap options mentioned above, are called an electric fan. However, they are often mistakenly called electric turbines. Now on the market there are more serious branded mechanisms that are close to homemade ones.

Setting up the turbine operation

A simple electric turbine on a VAZ can increase power, but only slightly. The use of mechanical turbochargers will be much more effective. The turbo engine is tuned using a wastegate. The pressure in the fuel system will be greater, the less it is released into the atmosphere. It is advisable to use special designs of boost controllers to adjust the pressure level.

Using this simple device, you can set the required pressure directly from inside the car. With its help, the safety valve installed on the manifold does not relieve pressure. Therefore it is gradually growing.

It is imperative to “reflash” the electronic control unit, since the operating modes of the engine will change significantly. It is advisable to entrust this work to experienced specialists, otherwise improper operation of the engine will affect not only the power, but also the consumption of gasoline and oil. In addition, all engine components can wear out hundreds of times faster than with normal settings.

The price of a turbo kit and what is included in it

The kit includes the following elements:

Mitsubishi turbine compressor 16 g style;
turbine 16 valve manifold Subaru;
8 nuts m 10*1.25;
2 screws m 10*30*1.25;
3 studs;
vin banjo;
budget receiving tube;
oil supply tube 500 mm long;
bolt for removing the oil substance from the cylinder head and entering the turbine compressor;
2 copper washers 10 mm;
6 copper washers 14 mm;
2 antifreeze supply tubes;
kit for draining oil substance from the turbine;
piping with silicone;
two clamps 25*40;
receiver;
device for measuring and recording the temperature of air masses;
wire harness;
4 Bosch fuel injectors;
silver fuel pump 220 liters;
4 turbine pistons 82 mm;
4 piston rings 82 mm;
motor gaskets;
oil pan gasket;
nut 6 with skirt;
blue vacuum tube.

The installation price for a motor with the specified characteristics is 61,000 - 68,000 rubles. If you contact a hotel for installation, you will have to pay about 20,000 - 26,000 rubles for the work. Also, additional costs will be required for modifications to systems and components.

Difficulties may arise during the system installation process. Mechanics recommend moving the entire structure slightly to the right side. In this way, overheating of the turbine and collector can be avoided. If you notice that the installed receiver affects the radiator surround, you need to increase the length of the intake valves. This will move the receiver further away from the radiator.

When planning to tune the engine of a Lada Priora, analyze all the pros and cons. Choose the right kit carefully. Formulate the requirements for the characteristics you want to obtain after modernization. Select the necessary kit to install the turbine, taking into account the characteristics of the motor. If the car participates in long-distance racing or drifting, installing a turbo on the Lada Priora will significantly increase power and other characteristics. When driving a car only within the city, the engine will behave worse than before tuning.

Disadvantages of the electric option

Many of my readers think that making such a system is very simple, you need to take some kind of cooler and insert it into the air intake pipe and that’s happiness! Such “miracle coolers” are usually sold in Chinese online stores; we’ll talk about these types below.

However, guys, not everything is so simple here. In normal (idling) mode, a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter engine consumes approximately 300 - 400 liters of air per hour of operation. And at high speeds, say 4000 - 5000, we multiply this figure by 4 - 5, that is, 1200 - 1600 liters. Just imagine this volume! If you calculate the minute consumption 300/60 = 5 liters per minute, or 20 at high speeds.

So - the electric turbine should increase this figure, and not slow it down! If you install a weak engine, it will not pump up the required pressure, but will create an “air lock” effect, that is, with its blades it will slow down the flow of air into the engine and interfere with normal passage.

Now imagine what an electric version of the engine is needed to pump such a volume! I repeat, to increase performance you need at least 6 - 7 liters of air at idle, and 25 at high, and this is for the 1.6 liter version; for larger volumes you need more.

If we draw an analogy with German manufacturers, then they use at least a brushless 0.5 kW electric motor, which rotates at crazy speeds, can reach up to 20,000 and its pressure capacity ranges from 1 to 5 atmospheres.

For more powerful cars, more powerful engines up to 0.7 kW are used.

As it becomes clear, a standard generator may not be able to handle such electricity consumption, so it is replaced with a more powerful one, or an additional one is installed.

And as you know, high energy consumption simply slows down the generators, and therefore increases engine braking, which will affect its output and reduce efficiency.

However, the experiments carried out revealed an increase in productivity by approximately 20–30%, which is significant. But due to the complexity and high cost of the devices, application on cars is not yet in mass production.

For example, mechanical compressors are much cheaper and more efficient. Sometimes the difference in price can reach 5 – 7 times.

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.

How is a turbine checked?

Before installing the turbine, it is strongly recommended to change the oil. In addition, the oil and air filters must be replaced. The sequence for checking the turbocharging system is as follows:

the turbine should be inspected for oil leaks (this applies to both the part through which oil is supplied and the part through which it drains from the turbine);
All air ducts are also carefully inspected. None of them should contain dirt or foreign objects;
if the machine is equipped with a catalyst, then it should also be checked for wear (excessive exhaust from a worn-out catalyst can significantly worsen the operation of the turbine; it simply cannot cope with the large volume of incoming gas);

So, installing a turbine on a VAZ 2106 is a long and painstaking process. In some situations, instead of a full-fledged turbine, you can think about installing a turbocharger. This is the least expensive and simplest option. Well, if the car owner has firmly decided to install a turbine on his “six”, then he should prepare for a serious modernization of the engine and serious financial expenses.
