photo of VAZ-2104 "Universal"
VAZ 2104- Soviet passenger car with a station wagon body type, developed at the VAZ plant. Serially produced from 1984 to 2012. The model was developed as a replacement for the outdated station wagon 2102. For some time, 2102 and 2104 were produced at the factory in parallel. When creating a new model, the plant took the path of least cost and used the VAZ 2105 as the base model. All spare parts underwent maximum unification. To give rigidity, stampings appeared on the roof of the new model. Unlike the 2102 model, the rear window heating was installed on the "four" in the basic configuration. From the mid-1990s, a rear wiper will be included as standard. The base model received the interior from the 2105. The station wagon's payload capacity was 455 kg, nearly double the maximum payload of the 2102. The model inherited the tailgate design from its predecessor. Its edge coincided with the floor level, which facilitated the loading and unloading of luggage. The rear seat folds down to create a huge loading area.

Modifications of the VAZ-2104
The following models were produced: - 21041, 21043 and 21043-07, differing in engines of 1.2 liters, 1.5 liters and a "seven" interior, respectively. In 1994, the VAZ-2104 with a 1.3-liter engine was discontinued. Today, the VAZ 21043 with a 1.5-liter engine and a five-speed manual gearbox has become the base model, which makes the VAZ 21043 AW car more dynamic and enjoyable to drive. Not so long ago, a modification of the VAZ-21045 appeared with an atmospheric (non-aspirated) diesel engine manufactured by Barnaultransmash, with a volume of 1.52 liters.

Interior design and controls
Generally design model VAZ-2104, like all classical models, ascetic. But the interior of the car, depending on your desire, may be different. A more economical option involves a standard panel with the minimum necessary set of switches and instrumentation, upholstery and seats with standard artificial leather headrests, rubber floor mats. If you want more comfort, then you are offered an improved interior, original steering wheel and instrument panel with an additional center console, which has an expanded set of function keys and control equipment. The improved salon is seats upholstered in brushed knitwear (front with a high back), doors with integrally molded overlays, brushed floor mats. This version of the "four" will allow you to feel comfortable even on a long trip.

VAZ-2104 engine and its features
Engine 2104-1000260 can be used for installation on VAZ 2103, 2104, 2106, 21053, 2107 vehicles.
Initially, the VAZ 2104 engine was produced only in a carburetor version. Later it was modified to use a fuel injection system and received the designation VAZ 2104-21.
The VAZ 2104 engine was created on the basis of the previous model - the VAZ 2103. The design used: a cylinder block, a connecting rod and a piston group, a timing drive and a crankshaft from the 2103 engine.
photo engine VAZ-2104
Cylinder block from the VAZ 2103 engine. Cylinder diameter - 76.00 mm. Accepted overhaul dimensions - 76.40 and 76.80. The engine is fitted with a 2103 crankshaft or an interchangeable 21213 crankshaft.
To ensure the operation of the injection system, it was necessary to install components and parts from other engines, which were originally developed for the fuel injection scheme. A new camshaft drive cover is used, on which there is a place for installing a sensor that controls the position of the crankshaft. It was required to install the cylinder head 2104-1003015, of the original design, with enlarged areas for the intake manifold. The design of the head provides for the installation of nozzles. The camshaft, valves and springs correspond to those installed on the VAZ 2103 engine. Installation of valve lever hydraulic bearings is not provided.
The timing drive is carried out from a two-row bush-roller chain 2103-1006040. The chain tensioning mechanism is mechanical, similar to the device on the VAZ 2103 engine.
A pulley with a damper and a drive disk 21214-1005058-11 is installed on the crankshaft. To drive the generator, a belt 2107-1308020 is used (length - 944mm). Injector modification 2104 has an original power supply system. The system includes an electric fuel pump with a fuel gauge sensor, fuel lines, a fuel filter, a fuel rail with injectors, an air filter, air supply hoses, a throttle valve and a fuel vapor recovery system. To clean the air entering the engine, a model 2112 air filter is provided. A model 2104 or model 2123-1008027 receiver is installed with the intake manifold. Throttle pipe 2112 is installed to adjust the volume of incoming air.
The electric fuel pump module 21073-1139009 is installed in the tank and provides fuel supply to the fuel rail and injectors. Used original fuel rail 2104-1144010, box type with pressure regulator and return drain line. Injection is carried out using four nozzles in pairs and parallel action. It is possible to install injectors BOSCH 0 280 158 502 (black, thin), SIEMENS VAZ 6393 (beige, thick) or other types with appropriate parameters.
The ignition system includes: a model 2112 ignition module mounted on a special bracket on the cylinder block, spark plugs and high voltage wires. The ignition module contains two ignition coils and two electronic controls. In accordance with the control signals from the control unit, the ignition module generates and supplies high-voltage pulses to the spark plugs.
Ignition control is assigned to the electronic engine management system. This system provides control of the amount of air and fuel supplied to the cylinders, controls the operation of the fuel pump, controls the supply of high-voltage pulses from the ignition coil to the spark plugs and corrects the ignition timing, regulates the idle speed of the crankshaft. The main control element of the system is the electronic control unit (ECU)-controller.
The engine complies with EURO-2 toxicity standards.
Youth does not return only to man. The car - even angular, unfashionable, funny - has every chance to return interest to itself. Of course, a lot of work will have to be put in: tuning VAZ 2104- the event is always voluminous, and sometimes difficult. But the effect is great!
The legendary "four" enjoys well-deserved people's love and respect. Attach a small fraction of diligence and invention to the "people's station wagon", and the car will gratefully shine with returned youth! Be proud: you have become a creator of high art. After all, only a craving for art can justify tuning, the total price of which is higher than the residual value of the car.
Body tuning VAZ 2104
The bulk of the improvements and improvements of the VAZ "four" are aimed at the body, since by the ΧΧΙ century its design was catastrophically outdated. planning body tuning vaz 2104, the car owner can choose one of three options:
Easy - replacement of the radiator grille, glass tinting, installation of light-alloy wheels and Vikhur skirt;
Medium - installation of alternative optics, body kit, airbrushing and shaving (removal of handles, moldings and locks from the body);
Deep - finalization of the body structure (alteration in the coupe, understatement of the roof, installation of lambo doors).
Creativity, coupled with a sense of style, gives the ordinary "four" a solid look of a government limousine. The most responsible process - painting and polishing the body - should be entrusted not just to good, but to the best specialists.
Adding chrome to the bodywork, tinting the windows, and fitting the wheels with vintage hubcaps will do the rest of the job.
The decisive "truncation" of the body turns the already not particularly bulky small car into a nimble little car, capable of drifting even on the landing. Transferring the spare wheel to the trunk lid adds visual harmony to the car, but does not remove the main question: “Why?”
However, fans of miniature cars have this option tuning VAZ 2104 surely you will like it. The operation algorithm is simple: cut out part of the passenger compartment, shorten the cardan shaft. But don't expect a halving of seats to halve your gas consumption! Although the savings, of course, will be ...
Next, you need to shift the wiring, brake lines and carefully paint everything. Seeing a shortened “four” in the city, road users will freeze, amazed at the originality of the tuning solution. Powerful kid - green everywhere!
Some aspects of the body tuning of the classic "Zhiguli" we considered earlier. Useful materials can be found on the page: the model that became the basis of the series, the All-Russian champion of amateur tuning! About tuning the closest relative of the "four", the car VAZ 2107 is interestingly told by the authors of the material. Sincere love for the car has become the driving force behind the tuning of the "six", described in the article. But none of these articles describes a trendy move today: lowering the cabin.
Lowering the height of the cabin by ten to fifteen centimeters, carried out by trimming the racks, finalizing the front bumper and rear lights, radically changes the exterior of the car. The only problem is the difficulty of getting used to the low cabin. You don’t want to hit the roof with your head when getting in and out of the car, so you need to be specially trained to get into such a crew. (And don't say later that we didn't warn you).
The dull appearance of standard "quad" optics urgently requires the introduction of fresh lines and shapes. This problem can be solved by buying linzovannaya optics (bi-xenon rocks!) And decorating it with LED "angel eyes".
By changing the shape of the tailgate, we adapt unusual shortened lights to the case. The red and white color of the taillights is a tribute to the American automobile fashion.
Anyone who drives on the smooth asphalt of a metropolis can use tuning VAZ 2104 rare Stance style. All that is required to reduce the clearance of a car is short springs and smaller diameter discs. Such innovations in the modifications of Togliatti station wagons are extremely rare, therefore they are highly valued.
Understated interior, reduced ground clearance - there is no limit to the perfection of automotive steepness! Yes, only the antipode of the Stance style - body lifting - is gaining more and more popularity every year. Especially in the outback, where roads sometimes meet here and there. But pits and potholes are more common ...
Despite the relative simplicity of lifting work, this kind of tuning VAZ 2104 do it yourself rarely performed. It is believed that only selected magicians are able to put the car on high speed.
Meanwhile, the process of increasing the clearance of the Niva can be taken as the basis for working with the lifting of the Quartet. Theoretically, you can even do without strengthening the support pads of the body. Although it would be better to strengthen the body metal, because you will put stiffer springs. Volgovsky springs are placed on the front suspension, and the rear shock absorbers are borrowed from the Gazelle front end.
A useful device to eliminate the buildup of the body and increase the softness of the ride is air bags that are mounted inside the springs. Airbags work both on a lifted body and with standard vehicle equipment.
Beautiful body painting is the key to success! Who said that airbrushing is a privilege of expensive foreign cars? For tuning VAZ 2104 it is essential in the highest degree. A large area of the body asks under the spray gun of a talented artist, ready to embody any fantasy of the customer.
Do not forget that airbrushing is a high art. A clumsy trunk, "forgotten" on the roof, will spoil the whole impression.
Engine and brake system
The native Zhiguli motor, which ran two or three laps of the speedometer, is best sent for scrap. Metal fatigue and significant physical wear leave practically no chance for deep reworking and exclude the possibility of forcing.
The old engine will adequately replace the more powerful one from the VAZ 21213 with a volume of 1900 cm 3. If you want to remove from it not 79, but 120 "horses", then you will have to go to the expense. Forcing will require tuning the head (boring channels), grinding the intake manifold and installing cast pistons with a diameter of 82 mm. A new camshaft will help change the valve timing, providing a valve lift of 10.8 mm.
The sporty 88 mm crankshaft with high piston lift will increase the displacement of the engine and facilitate the removal of the increased force of the burning mixture.
A lighter flywheel will reduce power losses during engine spin-up and allow you to pick up speed faster.
The power and exhaust system will have to be upgraded by installing a “nulevik” air filter, a sports exhaust manifold (“spider”) and a straight-through muffler.
The updated brake system is a guarantee of safe driving of a car with a boosted engine. The drum brakes of the rear axle of the VAZ 2104 cause the owners to complain about the difficulty in operation and low efficiency. Therefore, they need to be replaced with thirteen-inch ventilated discs.

Acoustic shelf in VAZ 2104
The acoustic shelf of the VAZ 2104 is a must if the owner of the car thinks about the normal sound in the cabin. You can make it calmly and with your own hands.
The acoustic shelf on the VAZ 2104 will not only give you the opportunity to listen to good music at a high level, but also give the interior a stylish look.
Accommodation
Car acoustics and installation is an art that needs to be learned. The fact is that if the owner of the car decided to acquire only speakers and a good, expensive radio tape recorder, and even bought a powerful subwoofer (see), this is not enough. In addition, you need to decide where to mount the acoustics - in regular places or not.
Note. As a rule, regular places have some advantages. First of all, this is a zero installation cost, and secondly, the car itself does not undergo any structural changes.
On the other hand, if you leave everything as it is, nothing sensible will come of it. The most beautiful speaker will not play well, because regular seats are usually placed in the wrong places.
The subwoofer will also not play properly unless something extra is done.
Established rear shelf and its refinement
The VAZ 2104 has a regular shelf, but it is not acoustic. Having finalized it properly, you can turn this element into a real acoustic shelf.
Rework Benefits
So:
- Refinement of the regular one has advantages over a home-made shelf. First of all, this is due to the time, which in this case takes half as much.
- When finalizing, it will not be necessary to come up with mount configurations, since everything will be ready.
As for the shortcomings, the main one is that in this case it is impossible to show any design idea.
Important components of the revision
So:
- First of all, for the manufacture of such a shelf, you will have to find or purchase a special material that forms the basis of the foundations. This is plywood, which in most cases (as the craftsmen advise) should be 20 mm thick.
Note. Plywood makes the standard shelf heavier and this method is not the only way to modify the shelf. So, you can simply drag the regular shelf with soundproofing material and the effect will again be, although not so obvious.
You can weight the factory shelf not only with plywood, but also with the help of vibrating material. For example, it can be a vibroplast or a bitoplast or an accent. These are easily attached with a hair dryer and a hard roller.
So:
- The regular shelf in the VAZ is made of a material similar to plastic. It is necessary in the process of finalization to cut off part of the shelf, in the place where the speakers are installed. We use a sharp knife.
- The contour of the shelf, similar to the factory one, is cut out of plywood with a jigsaw and treated with epoxy. Now it needs to be glued on the back side.
Advice. Fixing pieces of plywood with glue alone is inefficient. Here the simultaneous use of self-tapping screws will be what you need.
Note. At this stage of refinement, there may be a difference in the added plywood of 2 mm from the factory shelf. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to cut a piece of plywood, again 2 mm thick, along the contour and glue it onto the regular one.
- Various seams and irregularities will need to be hidden. To do this, we use acrylic putty on wood, and then we process the surfaces with fine sandpaper.
- Carpet is an ideal material for upholstery of an acoustic shelf. We use it.
Note. In the course of such an alteration, you can do otherwise. Glue the plywood not from the bottom of the regular one, but from the top. Get the same. As they say, the sum does not change from the rearrangement of the terms - it remains the same.
Acoustic shelf from scratch
- Self-tapping screws 41 mm in the amount of 10 pieces. They are needed for a stiffening rib, which must be present on the acoustic shelf.
- Construction stapler with 8 mm staples. They must be hardened to go into the tree.
- Stain is a unique paint that is absorbed by wood. Thanks to the stain, plywood retains its beautiful structure. If paint had been used, then this would not have been observed.
- Electric jigsaw or saw.
- Two loops, preferably the highest quality and medium size.
- Bulgarian with a grinding wheel.
- Scotch tape.
- Electric planer.
- Good quality screwdriver.
- Scissors and stationery knife.
- Pencil and metal ruler.
Algorithm for the process of manufacturing a homemade shelf
Decided on materials and tools. Now let's start manufacturing.
Templates
These elements can be made independently, taking into account your own preferences, or they can be taken from any ready-made sources.
Making a template:
- Take a piece of thick cardboard.
- We take a pencil and mark the points along which it will be possible to draw the contours of the future shape.
Note. Today, a person with creative thinking has a unique opportunity to use various computer programs that assemble a template in accordance with individual preferences.
Although today you can download ready-made templates from various sources, there are so many of them that hardly anyone will not like it.
main stage
We decided on the template: it can be made by ourselves or we downloaded it from somewhere, it doesn’t matter much.
Now it's time for the hardest part of the job:
- We take a sheet of plywood and put it on a flat table. It is desirable that this be a special sawing table, on which one could safely do cutting. In extreme cases, you can use the goats, a workbench or a stool, after all.
- We put a template on plywood. We cut out the shelf, making holes for the speakers at the same time.
Note. In the process of carrying out the work, do not forget to process the edges under the bends of the rear pillars of the car and about the rubber band of the rear window.
- We are now preparing the second, opening part of the shelf. We cut it out from the template and fasten the stiffener to it.
- We take a stain and cover all the details with it. We are waiting for it to dry.
- We fasten the loops now.
Note. Loops can be made as in the photo.
- We spread the carpet on the product, and then measure out as much as necessary. Don't forget about allowances on each side. About 4 cm will be enough.
- We cut out the material.
- We apply glue, and then evenly apply the carpet on the main and folding parts of our product.
- Carefully apply glue to the corners of the materials. Here it is even recommended to wrap the plywood with some rough, not too thick burlap, and only then put the carpet on top. Pieces of burlap are simply cut along the length of the sides of the plywood and pasted over.
- Masking tape is needed to protect against glue smearing.
- We take a stapler and nail the carpet. It is recommended to leave an allowance above the loops so that they are not visible from the outside at all.
- We install the finished product in the car.
The instruction described above provides valuable practical knowledge. But this is not enough to fully understand the whole process.
Therefore, it is recommended to see also photos and videos - materials. The price of such a do-it-yourself installation will not be high, because you will only have to spend money on consumables such as plywood, carpet, etc.
The opportunities that open up for the car owner allow you to transform any car, make it even better than it was before. Owners of domestic cars are also actively interested in such opportunities and actively apply them in practice. Today we will consider, we will analyze possible options that can be put into practice.
Body transformation
In the process of tuning the famous "four" from VAZ, the greatest attention is paid to changing the body. Its design is no longer considered attractive and modern, now this angular form looks outdated and unattractive. It is possible in several options, which differ in cost and scope of work:
- easy is to replace the radiator grille, tinted windows, install discs on the wheels and skirts "Vihur";
- with an average body tuning, it will be necessary to install alternative optics, replace the body kit, think about the possibility of ordering professional airbrushing and shaving, which consists in removing handles, locks and moldings;
- deep, as you might guess, is the most difficult, expensive and time-consuming, since it requires changes in the body structure, for example, changing the roof level, altering the coupe, installing lambo doors.
Even an easy tuning option will transform the appearance of the car. Sparkling chrome on the body, solid tinted windows, rare or, conversely, ultra-modern wheel covers - and your car will already look worthy on the road.
Changing the body structure
And if you take a more serious approach to the transformation of a domestic car and decide to “truncate” the body, then you can get a small-sized car that can be deftly drifted and easily maneuvered. To get such a powerful baby, it is necessary to remove part of the passenger compartment and reduce the length of the driveshaft. Hoping for significant fuel savings is not worth it, consumption will decrease, but not as significantly as we would like. Now you need to do electrical wiring, shift the brake lines, carefully close everything and repaint. Another cardinal decision is to move the spare wheel to the trunk lid. But such a design, as they say, is not for everybody.
The body structure can change not only in length, but also in height. Usually, the cabin height is lowered by a maximum of 15 cm. This result can be achieved by cutting the pillars, changing the front bumper, and rear lighting. The exterior in this case changes dramatically. Getting used to such dimensions of the car will not be easy.
If you are lucky enough to ride on perfect asphalt, then you can transform your VAZ-2104 in a rare Stance style. Its essence lies in the installation of short springs and discs of small diameter. A car with such changes is quite rare, so your VAZ-2104 can become a unique instance. A more popular type of tuning is a body lift, which is the opposite of Stance. Such a car can easily overcome bad sections of the road and even off-road.
The controversial point is the need to strengthen the supporting body platforms. This moment cannot be called mandatory, but it is still better if it is implemented. It certainly won't get any worse than this. The installation of stiff springs, which is provided for in the tuning process, requires reinforced metal. For the front suspension, you can choose springs from the Volga, and pick up the rear shock absorbers from the Gazelle front end.
Seriously, you need to think about installing air bags that will not allow the body to sway, and make the move softer. Pneumopillows are installed inside the springs. A similar element can be added to a lifted and standard body, its operation will not change from this.
Coloring
Body painting is an important element in any tuning. Still, this parameter is most striking and is able to highlight any car. There are several ways to solve this problem. You can go the standard way and cover the body with ordinary paint with an interesting effect (metallic, chameleon, matte, glossy). One of the new solutions is liquid rubber. Such coloring will not only make the tuned car expressive, but also protect the body from external influences. Airbrushing can be used not only on expensive foreign cars, but also on models of the domestic auto industry. It is better to entrust such coloring to specialists who have extensive experience in this field and can transfer any fantasy to metal. Airbrushing requires compliance with the declared status, and if you have already chosen this method of transformation, then a clumsy roof rack, old wheels or a rusty trailer will make the car ridiculous and tasteless.
Internal changes
Inside the car, you will need to do as much work as outside. By we mean pumping the engine, replacing the brake system and modifying the interior. But first things first.
Engine and brakes
Tuning domestic cars is embodied not only in external changes, but also in internal ones. Believe me, under the hood, a lot of parts need reorganization or complete replacement. The main element of any car - the engine - is primarily subject to tuning. If your car has a native power unit that has faithfully worked out its due date, then it is better to send it to a well-deserved rest, that is, to scrap metal. Still, the metal is rather tired, and even physical deterioration takes place - these factors do not allow us to talk about further refinement and forcing. There is only one conclusion - the old engine, which unscrewed several circles of the speedometer, must be replaced, and you can still work on newer units.
A worthy replacement for the old engine will be a powerful unit taken from the VAZ-21213, its volume will be 1900 cm3. Its power can be increased from 79 to 120 horses, but this will require some effort and parting with your hard-earned money. The forcing process consists in boring the channels, grinding the intake manifold, installing cast pistons with a diameter of 82 mm. To change the valve timing, it will be necessary to purchase a new camshaft, with which it will be possible to lift the valves up to 10.8 mm.
When using a sports crankshaft by 88 mm and increasing the level of piston lift, it is possible to increase the volume of the power unit and facilitate the removal of the increased force that occurs during the combustion of the fuel-air mixture.
Installing a lightweight flywheel will reduce the loss of power that is spent on the promotion of the motor. As a result, the car will pick up the required speed in a short time.
The exhaust and power system also need an upgrade, which consists of installing an air filter, a sports exhaust manifold and a straight-through muffler.
It remains to upgrade the brakes, which are responsible for the safety of the driver, his passengers and other road users. Drum brakes, which are available on the rear axle in the VAZ-2104, are difficult to operate, and even not effective enough. Their replacement is mandatory, 13-inch ventilated disc brakes are well suited for this.
Salon change
The effect of all the external changes that have occurred with the VAZ-2104 will be irrevocably spoiled by an outdated interior. is no less important than upgrading the engine and working on the body. Everything here can be very simple. If the seats are in good condition but look worn, you can replace the upholstery. With sufficient funding, you can choose a leather material for upholstery, but any other will also look good. Carbon fiber decor is a great way to enhance the effect of tuning and give the interior a high cost.
Any car can be restored, transformed and improved its previous characteristics. This is especially true for domestic models, for example, the VAZ-2104, although tuning with your own hands requires an investment of money and finances, the result is worth it.
