I must say that the Lada Kalina engine is the fruit of engineering research of the Russian “spill”. That is, it is completely our, domestic development. Here it is immediately worth emphasizing that in this case “Russian” does not mean “bad” or “poor quality”. It is important. Since many skeptics are accustomed to claiming that the domestic auto industry is cars made “on the knee”.
Of course, with regard to a number of specific issues, these judgments have the right to exist. But not in the case of the viburnum engine. Don't believe? We'll try to convince you. But not just to convince, but with concrete reliable facts.
The history of the creation of the "heart of Kalinka"
So, as already mentioned, the Lada Kalina engine is the result of the work of domestic engineers in the automotive sector. But the motor of this fret model at the same time is not an absolute innovation. He had his prototype. This is the power unit of the eighth model of the notorious Zhiguli. Yes Yes exactly.
Of course, the "viburnum" motor was not borrowed from the "Zhigulenka" in its pure form, but improved and properly modernized. But the fact remains: the Lada Kalina engine is the second attempt for the “heart” of the eighth Zhiguli model to go, as they say, into people.
So it is a priori wrong to blame the Kalinka engine for failure. Because he passed the most difficult exam - the test of time.
And what can a “viburnum” engine do?
Quite a bit of. Let's talk about each option in the line of viburnum engines. Initially, "Kalinka" was equipped with 8-valve units, engine capacity - 1.6 liters. This unit had enough strength - 82 “horses”. It only takes 13.5 seconds to get the car up to 100. The engine pulls great, even at low revs. And the resource of the engine was about 230 thousand km.
There was one more serial engine in the "viburnum history". Its working volume is 1.4 liters, the number of valves is 16 units. And the engine power has grown and reached the level of 90 “horses”. Acceleration dynamics has become much better. It took 12.5 seconds to accelerate. If we talk about the resource of the power unit, then it amounted to approximately 200 thousand km.
The third generation of “siloviki” also has very good characteristics. In this case, the working volume reached 1.6 liters. The number of valves is at the level of 16 units.
The engine power showed itself well, which reached the bar of 98 horsepower. Moreover, some car owners independently arranged an exam for the car, the results of such tests showed that the Kalinka, equipped with a third-generation engine, has a capacity of 107 horsepower.
What can surprise "dvushechka"
And what engines are put on fret viburnum 2? Also with very, very good performance.
The standard package includes a 1.6-liter engine with a capacity of 87 hp. With. In this basic configuration, the car is offered with both automatic and manual transmission. Among other things, the manufacturer offers two sixteen-valve engines that produce 98 and 106 "horses", respectively.
A 98-horsepower engine is equipped with a Lada Kalina 2 with an automatic transmission.
The last of the presented engines of the AvtoVAZ "kopeck piece" is made on the basis of the Priorov motor with modernized electronics and an updated cooling system.
The transmission of Lada Kalina 2 can be called an innovation. The expected front-wheel drive is complemented by a specially designed cable-driven gearbox. Moreover, the drive is the work of Japanese specialists, and the switching mechanism is craftsmen from a well-known German company.
Other Important Details
Experienced car owners are well aware that worn engine mounts are the cause of many inconveniences that can occur along the way. In the event that the engine mounts have hardened due to various operating conditions, the vibration is transmitted to the car body, and this is already clearly felt when starting or when cornering.
Due to the engine mounts that have come into an unsatisfactory state, uncomfortable jerks may occur when braking the engine, and extraneous sounds may also occur that lead the car owner to upset feelings (for example, clicks, bumps, etc.).
And that's what is important in this matter regarding the Lada Kalina.
It is not difficult to replace the engine mount on this AvtoVAZ brainchild on your own.
The main thing in this case is to know some details. But in general, this process will not cause much trouble to the car owner.
Tuning "Kalinka"
Is it possible to easily tune the power unit of this AvtoVAZ model? Yes, it is quite. And that's why. By itself, the device of the "viburnum" engine is simple and understandable, without any, as they say, chips and bells and whistles. That is why you can tune the engine without any problems, including the car owner himself (unless, of course, he is not “you” with the technique).
Although about this side of the issue - to carry out the modernization yourself or entrust this process to professionals - experienced motorists say the following. Even if you are pretty well versed in cars, it’s still better to spare no money and go to the service station for engine improvements. Service specialists, whatever one may say, will better turn this case. And by the way, this is a serious matter. There is, for example, the risk that the electronics in the car can be damaged. Do you need it?
So, we have decided on this moment. What will tuning give? First of all, it will increase the agility of the machine and, of course, its power.
Protecting the tender "Kalinka"
How will the motor of the “viburnum” AvtoVAZ truck react if an engine heater is used? Not bad at all.
If someone does not quite understand what is at stake, let us explain: the engine heater is installed for autonomous pre-start heating of this very engine. For what? To simplify the procedure for starting the engine in the cold season (this is especially true for our, Russian, weather conditions, when winter can “suddenly” come and last for quite a long time).
The heater gives the car owner the opportunity to increase the engine life, ensure its full warm-up, guarantee a reliable and safe start even in the coldest winter, save fuel and time spent preparing for the trip. When the heater is used, the power unit itself is in the off state (this is a serious advantage in relation to, for example, auto-start equipment).
It is only necessary to use heaters from well-known manufacturers that have proven themselves in specialized markets. This, by the way, applies to any equipment and devices installed on Kalina independently or in a service station.
At the moment, AtoVAZ is installing 2 engines on Kalina: VAZ-11186, VAZ-21126 and VAZ-21127. The first two motors are already familiar to us from past models of domestic cars, and the last one is a novelty, but first things first ..

About the VAZ-21126 engine (98 hp)
Engine with hydraulic valve lifters, 4 valves per cylinder, as well as an optimized crankshaft in terms of weight, mechanical losses and durability. The engine resource has been increased to 200,000 km. run. To ensure the resource, the following were introduced: an automatic timing belt tensioner, metal gas pipeline and cylinder head gaskets, original crankshaft oil seals, and a modernized water pump. Silencer intake pipe with neutralizer assembly of original design with reduced hydraulic resistance. The "weak point" of the engine are: the support and tension rollers and the pump. (in the event of their destruction / jamming, the belt breaks). According to motorists, the VAZ-21126 engine is significantly better than the VAZ-21124, and its only drawback is that in the event of a broken timing belt, the valve bends.New engine Lada Kalina 2 VAZ-21127 (106 hp)
The new Kalina 2 engine is marked VAZ-21127, it has more than 20 new parts, and an absolute pressure sensor instead of a mass air flow sensor. In addition, the motor has a variable intake manifold length: the receiver is divided by a damper into two chambers of different volumes, and at high speeds the air goes to the cylinders along a longer path, and at low speeds along a short one, through the resonant chamber. At the same time, the air movement resembles sea waves - part of the air is ejected from the cylinder on the compression stroke, and then returns, increasing the pressure in front of the intake valve.What are the reviews about the new Kalina 2 engine? When testing it, it was noted that it works most efficiently at speeds of 1000-3500 rpm. In this range, the engine has elastic bottoms, which allow you to stay in fifth gear even at a speed of 40 km / h. The engine is ready to accelerate the car at least from 1000 rpm. Compared to the VAZ-21126 engine, traction from the bottom is better, there is no difference at medium speeds.
By the way, do you know what the fuel consumption of the new Kalina is?

What engines are installed on Kalina 2?
At the moment, for the new car Lada Kalina 2, there are two types of engines in production.
Engine 2116 - for versions of the configuration "norm", as well as "standard"
The motor marked 2116 is installed on two types of equipment for the Lada Kalina 2 model car. This is the “norm” and “standard” of the equipment. The engine is an improved version of the 11183 engine, it significantly reduces the weight of the connecting rod and piston group. Thirty-nine percent - the engineers from Togliatti did their best. The new version of this type of engine is better, for example, with the latest camshaft drive, as well as a metal cylinder head gasket, and finally, an improved block conditioning system. The main advantage of the latest engine model is also the mandatory heat treatment for the cylinder head. So the parts become stronger and more enduring.
All front-wheel drive models of Lada cars have an electric throttle actuator in the engine. This engineering upgrade added another ten to the amount of horsepower of the motor. And now the motor has become ninety-horsepower. And due to the fact that the number of mechanical losses was reduced, the engine torque also increased by 20 units. But it will be possible to achieve it already at 3800 rpm. Fuel consumption has also been greatly reduced - which has affected the increased environmental friendliness of the car. Less carbon dioxide emissions into the air.
Manufacturers assure buyers that before the first overhaul, the car will travel at least 200 thousand kilometers. Also, the belt should serve the same amount paired with a new engine model.
For the configuration "Lux" there is a motor 21126
1.6 liters and almost a hundred horsepower - these are the characteristics of this engine. This was the second engine for Lada Kalina 2. It is available only for the "richest" versions of the car's configuration. Here, too, the connecting rod and piston group, as well as valve hydraulic pushers, were lightened. And there will be neither few nor many of them - four pieces for each cylinder. In the new engine model, as in the previous one, there is a so-called "gates" belt. The guarantee for such a belt is 120 thousand kilometers of the roadway. Basically, all 200 thousand are subject to his resource. Such a belt was tested with great success on the Lada Priora model.
Updated prioromotor with index 21127
Togliatti decided to update the existing 21126 engine and add a little fire to it - now Kalina 2 with such a “heart” will have a power of 106 horsepower, with a maximum torque of 150 N * m. This was achieved by adding a different intake mode - at low speeds, air passes through a long channel, at high speeds - through a short one. Also, the engine has a new absolute pressure sensor and updated software.
True, as elsewhere, there are drawbacks - during the breaks of the timing belt, the valves are crumpled and the connecting rod-piston group of parts suffers.

The engine of the new Lada viburnum 2
The new Lada Kalina is equipped with three engine versions: 87, 98 and 106 horsepower. All of them have 4 cylinders and a volume of 1.6 liters.
The first engine is the VAZ 21116, which is an improved version of the classic eight-valve engine.
More recently, he has acquired a new connecting rod and piston group, as well as several other improvements, which allowed him to increase power and torque.
This engine is significantly superior to its predecessor 11183-50 and even more so the G8 engine (21114).
The unfortunate fact is that the belt weight has remained a welcome option. It was not returned to this engine due to economic considerations - the Indian Bosch generator is cheaper than the domestic one.
The 21116 engine is installed on the basic versions of Kalina together with the 2181 manual gearbox. The box is essentially a new mechanism that has retained only a set of gears from its predecessors, and everything else is new or updated. It is important to note that the drive from the lever to the gear selector has become cable (made in Japan). This allows you to increase the clarity of switching. Equally important was the fact that the reverse gear is again engaged by moving to the right and back.
The second engine is a 16-valve VAZ 21126. It is known from Priora and Grant with automatic transmission.
The machine was inherited and to Kalina 2. Despite its archaic nature, this gearbox was to the taste of many motorists in view of reliability. It is worth noting that the box from Jatco works well in China on a Nissan Micra.
Over time, the Jatco automatic transmission will be calibrated for the latest version of the engine. The new powerful engine 21127 was presented to the public for the first time precisely on Kalina 2. But so far, Kalinas are equipped with 106 horsepower engines only with a manual transmission.
The 27th has one feature - the length of the intake manifold can vary. At low speeds, air moves to the cylinders along a long path, and as the speed increases, due to the operation of the damper, air enters from a small part of the receiver.
Due to the fact that the air resistance in this case is reduced, a greater responsiveness of the engine is achieved. For domestic car builders, the use of such a “resonant boost” is a serious step forward. Although it is worth saying that three intake chambers have long been used in the world.
For the first time in the history of the domestic automobile industry, really high-quality and modern mechanisms are installed on board the cars, thanks to which the ride quality reaches a whole new level.

Installed engines on the 2nd generation
With the advent of the 2nd generation Lada Kalina, new engines also began to be installed on this model. But this technical progress of AvtoVAZ has not only pluses, but also minuses. Consider some of the advantages and disadvantages of the new power units:
- The advantage of new engines is increased power and lower fuel consumption.
- The disadvantage of all these motors can be considered the fact that in the event of a broken timing belt, the valves meet the pistons and you end up with an expensive repair.
In more detail below, I would like to consider each new power unit separately and compare them.
VAZ 21116
This design is probably known to everyone from the Lada Grant model. This is a follower of the previous engine model from Kalina with an index of 21114. But only in the new engine a number of changes were made, the main bias of which was to lighten the connecting rod and piston group. Due to this, the power increased slightly from 81 to 87 horsepower.
You can also note a positive point - it has become much quieter and there is no more diesel and gurgling, as on the same 114th. According to personal feelings, the dynamics of the car with the new engine is a little better, it works softer and more pleasant to the ear.
But the main disadvantage of lightening the piston group, I think, is already known to everyone. This is the danger of pistons colliding with valves during a broken timing belt. In this case, not only the valves suffer, but in most cases it is necessary to change the pistons (a bunch of examples).
VAZ 21126
This engine is familiar to us from the Priora model, but it has been installed on the Lada Kalina for a long time, and now on the 2nd generation too. Excellent dynamics and low fuel consumption - all this is now in the past! And why? Yes, because in tandem with this engine, only an automatic transmission will now be installed.
In this regard, the average fuel consumption will increase significantly. For example, if on mechanics it is equal to 7 liters, then on automatic transmission this figure is at least 8 l / 100 km. The dynamics will also suffer, it's an automatic machine! Acceleration to 100 km / h is achieved in as much as 14 seconds, while at the manual transmission it could be done 2 seconds faster.
As a result, we get such an advantage as an automatic transmission, but on the other hand, comfort has a negative effect on the driving and dynamic characteristics of this unit.
VAZ 21127
This is a completely new engine, according to AvtoVAZ. Due to some improvements, the torque at the bottom has increased, and the operation of Kalina-2 with such a unit should be more interesting, especially in urban areas. Power has increased from the previous 98 to 106 hp.
But not only advantages, but also disadvantages are immediately visible. Firstly, the threshold of 100 forces has been overcome, which means that now the owners of such cars will pay an increased transport tax, which will negatively affect the wallet of the owner of such a car. Secondly, the problem with valve bending and damage to the ShPG also has nowhere to go. Perhaps this should no longer be so categorically treated, because most foreign cars have such an engine design. But knowing the quality of spare parts and components in the domestic market, it is impossible to be sure of the same timing belt or rollers.

Types and characteristics of viburnum engines, their pros and cons
Various types of engines are installed on viburnums, the very first was the usual 8-valve engine with a working volume of 1.6 liters under the number 11183, after it they began to install engines 11194 with a smaller volume of 1.4 but with 16 valves, on more expensive cars such as Kalina Sport they also install a prior engine under number 21126 which has a volume of 1.6 and 16 valves.
In 2012, AvtoVAZ launched a new engine numbered 21116 with 8 valves and a volume of 1.6, the main difference from 11183 is a lightweight piston (due to it, the power increased, but the engine became plug-in). So far, this engine is installed only on a grant, which came to replace the viburnum sedan, but I think in the future it will be installed on viburnum.
The main pros and cons of engines
VAZ 11183 (1.6-8kl):
- Well-known and proven engine (repaired in many services, availability of spare parts).
- Not plug-in, if the timing belt breaks, there is little chance of the valves meeting the pistons.
- Good traction on the bottom.
- Increased engine noise and vibration (often sounds like a diesel engine).
- Requires periodic valve adjustment.
- Air conditioners are almost not installed on this engine by the factory.
VAZ 11194 (1.4-16kl):
- The lowest fuel consumption compared to other engines.
- Good acceleration dynamics up to 6,000 rpm on the highway.
- In the event of a timing belt break, the valve bends, you have to change both the valve and the piston (the German piston is not very accessible).
- Increased oil consumption is often observed, especially after 40,000 - 60,000 km of run.
VAZ 21126 (1.6-16kl):
- Quiet operation and no vibration.
- The best acceleration dynamics of all the presented engines, the most powerful engine in the lad.
- It does not require valve adjustment, without possible repairs, it only requires an oil and filter change.
- In the event of a broken timing belt, the valve bends.
VAZ 21126 (1.6-16kl):
This engine is completely new and there is very little information on it, as it turned out the very first drawback in it: like a 16-valve engine, in the event of a timing belt break, the valves bend, it may take over some of the sores from the 1.4 16kl engine.

Which engine is better to choose 8 or 16 valve for VAZ, Renault, Kalina and why
What is better 8 or 16 valve powertrains? With which engine is it worth buying VAZ, Kalina or Renault cars. Why modern modifications of a 16-valve engine are safer and more economical than 8-valve counterparts. After reviewing the characteristics and advantages of engines, you can answer the question: which one is worth buying?
Many motorists when buying a car have certain difficulties with the choice of power unit. And there are long hours of thinking about which engine to give preference to the 8 or 16 valve version. This problem is felt especially acutely if the car is taken in the secondary market. After all, we immediately think about which motor is more economical, has more power and torque after several years of its operation.
Engine design
To get an answer to the question which engine is better for VAZ, Renault, Kalina or another brand of car and why you need to study their design and know the principle of operation. Based on the results obtained, it is possible to identify all the advantages and disadvantages of each model and conduct their comparative analysis.
8 valve engine
The design of the 8-valve engine is considered traditional. It consists of the following main nodes:
The principle of operation is to inject the fuel mixture through the inlet channel and at the moment of the maximum degree of compression of the fuel by the piston, it ignites due to the formation of a spark. The released energy is transferred to the wheel group through a system of mechanisms.
16 valve engine
The basic layout of this type of engine is somewhat different from the traditional scheme. These differences are in the following main components of the motor:
- Cylinder block. The location of the cylinders and their number remained the same as in the standard version. That is, four pistons arranged in one row.
- Valves. This node is one of the main differences. In this type of internal combustion engine (internal combustion engine), the valves are made in pairs. Each cylinder has two inlet and two exhaust valves, a total of 4 for one "boiler" and 16 for the entire engine.
- Camshaft. In this power unit, to adjust the valves, i.e. for their timely opening and closing, two camshafts are used. Structurally, they are made similar to the one that is installed in the 8-valve unit.
The principle of operation of a 16-valve internal combustion engine is similar to the previous type. The exception is that the fuel mixture is supplied through two intake valves, and the exhaust gases are removed through two exhaust valves.
Having studied the main components of the two types of engines, you can conduct a comparative analysis of these two mechanisms.
Comparison of two types of engines
To compare and determine the best layout, we will choose engines of the same volume. As a subject of analysis, we will choose, for example, a power unit with a volume of 1.6 liters, installed on a VAZ. For a better understanding, the results of the comparison of technical characteristics are presented in the form of a table below:
As can be seen from a comparative analysis of two engines of the same size, but different layouts, the V16 variant is faster and has more power.
Attention! The increase in tractive force entailed the installation of larger brake discs with a modified design (the presence of ventilation for cooling).
Benefits of an 8 valve engine
By comparing these two types of power units, and having studied the design, you can determine their advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of an 8-valve engine include:
- Broken timing belt (timing). In cases where the belt breaks, the valves do not bend.
- Oil. During operation, there are no strict restrictions on the quality of engine oil.
- Availability during renovation. The small dimensions of the power plant provide free access to different places and to any mechanisms of the car and engine.
- Torque. The 8-valve type of motor is capable of delivering a sufficiently high torque at low engine speeds.
Flaws
The traditional scheme has a small number of disadvantages of its layout. Main cons:
- Noise and vibration. The obsolete engine model has high noise and vibration during its operation.
- Thermal gaps. After a specified period of operation by the manufacturer, the power unit requires adjustment of thermal gaps.
- Timing belt. The motor needs periodic adjustment of the timing belt.
Attention! The adjustment of thermal gaps requires high precision. It is easy to make a mistake during manual operation.
Benefits of a 16 valve engine
Like all units, this type of engine has its advantages and disadvantages. Benefits include:
Flaws
Among the minuses are the following:
- Timing belt break. In cases of a broken timing belt, the valves are bent, which is associated with large investments in repairs.
- Bulky. The impressive dimensions of the units limit access to the repaired unit.
- Engine oil. The presence of hydraulic compensators places high demands on the quality of engine oil. The use of poor quality lubricant leads to coking of hydraulic lifters and their premature replacement.
- Torque. At low speeds, the engine has insufficient torque.
A look at engines from the point of view of safety and efficiency
Many car owners claim that 8-valve engines are safer than 16-valve counterparts. This is due to the consequences of a broken timing belt. The improved design of the piston group of the 16-valve 1.8-liter engine, which is installed on modern models of VAZ, Kalina, Renault and other brands, eliminates this drawback.
Due to the injection of fuel and the removal of combustion waste through two valves, it ensures uniform distribution and combustion of the mixture. Because of this, the operation of the 16-valve engine is smooth and economical. At the same time, the technological design of the unit requires expensive professional maintenance.
Advice. It is better for residents of remote areas to purchase 8-valve engines due to their unpretentiousness in maintenance and repair.
Each motorist must choose for himself which engine is right for him. In this matter, you need to rely on your driving style, financial condition, maintainability of the installation. Also an important aspect are the reviews of consumers and professionals.

8 valve engine Lada Kalina characteristics, dynamics, fuel consumption
The Lada Kalina 1.6 8 valve engine is well known to our drivers. After all, its history goes back to the advanced (for its time) VAZ 2108 engine. Since then, the power unit has experienced a huge amount of modernization. But the basic design parameters remained unchanged. Today we will talk in more detail about this power unit. 
Gasoline power unit Lada Kalina VAZ-11186 with a capacity of 87 hp with a working volume of 1.6 liters, it replaced the VAZ-11183 injection engine developing 82 horsepower. The new lightweight piston group from Federal Mogul managed to increase the power and efficiency of the power unit. Of course, the motor does not differ in enchanting dynamics and low fuel consumption, but its relatively simple design and maintainability make it possible to speak of a good option for our harsh operating conditions.
As for the device of the technical part, it is based on a cast-iron cylinder block, an aluminum head, an aluminum cylinder head cover, and a steel engine oil pan. In the timing drive Lada Kalina 8-cl. worth the belt. The eight-valve timing mechanism does not have hydraulic lifters, valve adjustment is rare, but the process is rather painstaking. It is necessary to select “pyataki” of different thicknesses and lay them between the camshaft cams and the bottoms of the pusher cups. The first time such a procedure is carried out at the so-called “0” zero maintenance, after 3000 km of run.
The age-old question is whether the valves on the Kalina VAZ-11186 engine bend when the timing belt breaks? The answer is unequivocal, when the valve belt breaks, it bends! As a pair, a 5-speed manual gearbox is attached to the motor, no other options are provided.
Engine Lada Kalina 1.6 (87 hp), fuel consumption, dynamics
- Working volume - 1597 cm3
- Number of cylinders / valves - 4/8
- Timing drive - belt
- Cylinder diameter - 82 mm
- Stroke - 75.6 mm
- Power hp / kW - 87/64 at 5100 rpm
- Torque - 140 Nm at 3800 rpm
- Maximum speed - 168 kilometers per hour
- Acceleration to the first hundred - 12.2 seconds
- Fuel consumption in the city - 9.0 liters
- Combined fuel consumption - 6.6 liters
- Fuel consumption on the highway - 5.8 liters
Timing diagram Lada Kalina 8 valves
- 1 - a gear pulley of a cranked shaft
- 2 - toothed pulley of the coolant pump
- 3 - tension roller
- 4 - rear protective cover
- 5 - camshaft pulley
- 6 - timing belt
- A - tide on the rear protective cover
- B - mark on the camshaft pulley
- C - mark on the oil pump cover
- D - mark on the crankshaft pulley.
Another feature of the motor is the location of the water pump (pump), which is rotated by the same timing belt. That is, in case of coolant leaks or a characteristic noise / whistle / hum in the timing drive area, checking the belt is mandatory. If the pump bearing crumbles and the belt flies off, then in addition to replacing the water pump housing and the belt, you will also have to sort out the cylinder head, removing the bent valves from there.
Avtovaz uses a very reliable Gates belt as the original belt. Often, the resource of the Gates belt is much higher than the resource of the pump and tension roller of the Lada Kalina 8-valve engine.
Lada Kalina 2
Description of Lada Kalina 2
Lada Kalina 2 is a continuation of the first model, released in 2013. Lada Kalina 2 is made on the basis of the first generation Lada Kalina and is its restyled version. The car differs both externally and internally, but there are not so many technical differences. In the range of the manufacturer from Tolyatti, Kalina 2 takes place under Priora and Vesta.
Among the competitors of Kalina, one can single out such cars as Renault Logan, Hyundai Solaris, KIA Rio, Skoda Fabia and other most inexpensive class B cars.
Engines Lada Kalina 2 1.6 l. 8 valve, called 11186. More expensive models are equipped with 127 and 126 motors of 16 valves from Priora. Since 2014, following the trends of the times, Kalina Cross has been released, with increased ground clearance and unpainted plastic lining. The engines on the Cross are the same.
Kalina 2 Sport is also produced, with a 1.6 liter 120 horsepower engine, the same as found on Grant Sport.
Which Kalina 2 engine to choose? The car uses engines that have already been run in the Priors, 8 and 16 valve engines, a lot of interesting and necessary information has been prepared for them. You will find out why the Lada Kalina 2 engine is heating up and troiting, tuning and repairing it. And also the 127 new engine Lada Kalina 2 is not deprived of attention. You will learn everything: oil in the engine, how much to pour, how often to change, engine temperature, resource, characteristics, and so on.
Model Lada Kalina 2:
1st generation (2013 - present):
At the moment, for the new car Lada Kalina 2, there are two types of engines in production.
Engine 2116 - for versions of the configuration "norm", as well as "standard"
The motor marked 2116 is installed on two types of equipment for the Lada Kalina 2 model car. This is the “norm” and “standard” of the equipment. The engine is an improved version of the 11183 engine, it significantly reduces the weight of the connecting rod and piston group. Thirty-nine percent - the engineers from Togliatti did their best. The new version of this type of engine is better, for example, with the latest camshaft drive, as well as a metal cylinder head gasket, and finally, an improved block conditioning system. The main advantage of the latest engine model is also the mandatory heat treatment for the cylinder head. So the parts become stronger and more enduring.
All front-wheel drive models of Lada cars have an electric throttle actuator in the engine. This engineering upgrade added another ten to the amount of horsepower of the motor. And now the motor has become ninety-horsepower. And due to the fact that the number of mechanical losses was reduced, the engine torque also increased by 20 units. But it will be possible to achieve it already at 3800 rpm. Fuel consumption has also been greatly reduced - which has affected the increased environmental friendliness of the car. Less carbon dioxide emissions into the air.
Manufacturers assure buyers that before the first overhaul, the car will travel at least 200 thousand kilometers. It should also serve the same amount paired with a new engine model.
For the configuration "Lux" there is a motor 21126
1.6 liters and almost a hundred horsepower - these are the characteristics of this engine. This was the second engine for Lada Kalina 2. It is available only for the "richest" versions of the car's configuration. Here, too, the connecting rod and piston group, as well as valve hydraulic pushers, were lightened. And there will be neither few nor many of them - four pieces for each cylinder. In the new engine model, as in the previous one, there is a so-called "gates" belt. The guarantee for such a belt is 120 thousand kilometers of the roadway. Basically, all 200 thousand are subject to his resource. Such a belt was tested with great success on the Lada Priora model.
Updated prioromotor with index 21127
Togliatti decided to update the existing 21126 engine and add a little fire to it - now Kalina 2 with such a “heart” will have a power of 106 horsepower, with a maximum torque of 150 N * m. This was achieved by adding a different intake mode - at low speeds, air passes through a long channel, at high speeds - through a short one. Also, the engine has a new absolute pressure sensor and updated software.
True, as elsewhere, there are some drawbacks - during the timing belt breaks, the valves are crumpled and the connecting rod-piston group of parts suffers.
A new car - a new power unit. It is quite logical that with the release of the new Kalina, AVTOVAZ decided to introduce a new engine. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, but let's talk about all the engines that will equip the new station wagons and hatchbacks of the second generation. The section will add instructions for the repair and replacement of components and elements of engines Lada Kalina 2.
Engine 21126.
This is the only engine that will be installed on Lada Kalina 2 without modifications. The Priorovsky motor, as before, will produce 98 hp. and 145Nm of torque. Detailed technical characteristics of this engine have already been repeatedly described on the Internet, and therefore we will not repeat ourselves. Let's note only one thing - AVTOVAZ plans to install automatic transmission on Kalina only in tandem with this engine. Recall that the same is true for Lada Grant cars.As you know, because of the other ShPG, the engine became "plug-in", i.e. when the timing belt breaks, the pistons meet the valves and the latter bend, which subsequently requires expensive repairs. In order to somehow reduce this drawback, the manufacturer changed the timing drive system. Now it has an automatic tensioner and a belt with a resource increased to 120 thousand km.
Engine 21116.
This power unit is the result of a deep modernization of the engine of the first Kalina 11183. The new engine is timed not only for the release of Grant and Kalina 2 cars, but also for the transition to environmental standards of the Euro-4 standard.The cylinder block of the new engine exactly matches that of 21126 despite its new index. However, there are still differences. This is due to the fact that it is more difficult to organize a workflow in an 8-valve engine. In addition, a resource increased to 200 thousand km is also presented for the new motor, in contrast to 160 thousand km on the 126th.
The intake system migrated here from the 11183-50 engine without changes. This is a plastic receiver with electronic throttle.
Due to the longer intake channels, it was possible to shift the point of maximum torque by 700-800 rpm lower on the VSH. Thanks to this, the characteristic is close to that of a 16-valve engine. Throttle - only electric. Thanks to this, it is possible to fully comply with environmental standards. In addition, with the advent of additional options, such as the stability control system for Lada Kalina 2, the controller simply cannot do without this node in order to control the vehicle's traction.
Let's talk a little about the new connecting rod and piston group. A 39% weight reduction was achieved through the use of new rods, connecting rods and other elements. The photo below illustrates this clearly.

Due to the increased temperature loads on the piston 8-cl. engine introduced additional anodizing in the area of the first ring. Another innovation of the 21116 pistons is a graphite coating on the skirt, which should eliminate possible scuffing during a cold start of the engine.
The production system of the new unit has also undergone changes. Now the intake channels do not converge at one point, as was done before. Their length has also increased. For comparison, here is a photo of the new collector (left) and the old one (right).

External speed characteristic (VSH) of the engine 21116 and its comparison with engines 21114, 11183.
The result of the engine upgrade can be seen on its VSH and compared with previous models.
Throughout the rev range, we see a significant increase in torque and power. All this, together with the increased declared resource, leaves no chance for the old men 21114 and 11183, which, together with Lada Samara, will be discontinued in 2013.
