Intake manifold Lada Kalina 8 valves

“Kalina” is a symbol of the domestic automobile industry, of course we are talking about a car. In 2004, the first copy rolled off the assembly line. Until 2013, the car was not subject to changes or restyling. Everything was the same, no improvements. Few people paid attention to the model and preferred foreign options. But after 2014, everything changed dramatically. The exterior and interior have changed significantly; The designers took into account the clients' comments.

The machine is manufactured in various variations. The engine is equipped with a direct injection system and electronic ignition. The body structure strictly complies with basic safety standards. Maneuverability has been increased by shortening the overall body length. Since the beginning of 2012, all Kalina models have been equipped with an electronic gas accelerator pedal.

Among the bulk of frequent breakdowns and shortcomings, many owners experience difficulties when the standard catalytic filler fails. Using the example of a Lada Kalina with an 8-valve engine, we will consider the algorithm for removing and replacing the seal.

Replacing the exhaust manifold and gasket

When dismantling the manifold, the gasket is destroyed in almost any case. Therefore, it is worth removing its remains from the parts. Replacing the Kalina exhaust manifold gasket is a simple process. The use of sealants and other third-party substances is not recommended. They may later get into the crankcase.

Replacing the manifold itself is simple - just take a new part and install it according to the principle in which it was attached. Assembling the system is simply the reverse order of the steps outlined in the last section.

Advice! Don't forget about cleanliness. This is an important factor in long and trouble-free operation of the car.

Results

In some cases, installing ready-made kits not only requires experience, but also takes a long period of time, since installation requires searching for the most convenient mounting location in the engine compartment. It is worth noting that installing a zero-resistance filter is justified only when the engine is completely modified. Otherwise, the opposite effect will be observed - a drop in power.

So, we have found out the advantages and disadvantages of this type of tuning. As you can see, you can install a cold start yourself, saving significant money.

The main reasons for replacing the catalyst gasket

One of the main reasons for catalytic converter failure is that the exhaust channels become clogged. The formation of plugs leads to the deposition of soot, soot, and other solid deposits. Sources of clogging can be:

low quality fuel;
the use by the owner of the technical equipment of all kinds of chemical additives in the combustible mixture (these reagents only have a detrimental effect on the performance of the fuel system);
possible mechanical damage to the housing or internal connections;
long-term operation without replacement or prevention;
faulty engine ignition system;
unstable operation of the oxygen sensor, due to which the combustible mixture is lean or enriched, which also has an extremely detrimental effect on the performance of the entire system.

Check Engine

Constructive

Metal intake manifolds are cast as a single unit or made into multiple parts. In the latter case, the connections are sealed with sealant or gaskets are installed. Accordingly, they can always be updated by halving the composite manifold.

Plastic collectors are always composite. Production technologies do not allow producing such units as monolithic ones. In most cases, such collectors are actually non-separable: the joints of the connections are soldered. Although there are still more thoughtful designs with the ability to painlessly separate into parts and replace rubber gaskets.

The design of a specific manifold and the possibility of replacing gaskets or updating sealant can always be seen on diagrams, which, for example, are in spare parts catalogs on the websites of well-known online stores.

Action plan

As a rule, the joints of plastic elements are more capricious. If the collector is dismountable, then its tightness can be easily restored. True, in most cases the assembly has to be removed from the engine. And in the case of a “monolithic” collector, you will have to think about ways to seal it.

The most reliable option is plastic welding. This is a technology that, for example, is used to repair cracks and tears in bumpers. However, this option can be expensive when it comes to large restoration areas. In this case, it is sometimes cheaper to buy a new or used manifold. If you do this on your own, you will have to spend money on expensive equipment: a special construction hair dryer and a Dremel (straight grinder or drill).

A simpler option is to arm yourself with a soldering iron and solder a plastic seam onto the joint. For example, pieces from a plastic measuring bucket for liquids are suitable for this. All you really need here is patience.

The quickest and easiest way is to seal the joints with sealant. True, this method is least preferable for supercharged engines. Their intake air pressure in some operating modes is significantly higher than that of atmospheric engines. Therefore, any sealants can weaken, and soldering is more suitable for a supercharged engine.

Gasket for Kalina manifold 8 valves

These are: fuel system, exhaust gas recirculation system. After a run of 80-100 thousand km, the metal housing of the exhaust manifold begins to crack at the seams.

Flange connections are torn away from their seats.

Replacing a catalyst with a spider, as a process, is divided into several stages.

This does not take into account the fact that the catalyst itself needs to be changed due to burnout of internal parts due to systematic contact with a hot flame flow. The average gas temperature reaches 600℃.

So, division into stages: collecting data on the number and location of catalysts in the car; preparation of spare parts in each specific case for modification;

Kinds

Currently, many tuning studios sell various types of cold intake systems.

They all differ in color, size, and materials used in the manufacturing process. The choice of system occurs only at the request of the car enthusiast. Some manufactured elements can be manufactured directly for a specific car brand, while others are manufactured as a universal device.

Currently, the most common intake systems are:

Cold Air Intake.
APR Carbonio.
K&N.
Takeda.
A.E.M.

It is worth remembering that if you do not want to buy expensive ready-made kits and spend money, you can make a cold intake with your own hands.

When should the Kalina catalyst gasket be replaced?

Most vehicle owners mistakenly think that the catalytic converter, even if in good condition, is the reason for the reduction in power of the power unit.
In view of this, owners of budget car models deliberately exclude this part from the exhaust tract. However, the power of the power unit is reduced solely due to a violation of the throughput of the exhaust gas converter, due to damage to the honeycombs inside it.

Our car service specialists identify the main reasons for premature failure of parts and wear of gaskets:

Low fuel quality;
Use of various additives;
Mechanical damage to elements;
Incorrect operation of the ignition system;
Failure of the lambda probe, as a result of which the process of formation of the fuel mixture is disrupted.

If the catalyst fails, the following symptoms are observed:

If the throughput of the neutralizer is completely impaired, the vehicle's power unit will start and immediately stall, or not start at all. You can diagnose catalytic converters as quickly as possible in our service center. But you can also perform an independent check, however, it is not always highly accurate. To carry it out, unscrew the lambda located in front of the catalyst, and then start the engine. If it starts, the catalyst is faulty.
The acceleration dynamics of the car are noticeably reduced, the speed of the power unit drops.
Fuel consumption increases significantly. However, this evidence of a catalyst malfunction only applies in the event of a noticeable decrease in the power and acceleration dynamics of the vehicle. To put it simply, if the vehicle begins to become “stupid” and fuel consumption increases, therefore, the converter needs to be replaced.
The “CHECK ENGINE” indicator on the dashboard came on. But this is not always direct evidence of a catalyst failure. In this case, you need to contact a car service for detailed diagnostics.

Signs of damage

Problems in operation are immediately noticeable. The first sign is the engine starting and stopping, or no start at all. In a service station, diagnostics are performed by a specialist. The oxygen sensor is unscrewed from its seat and the technician tries to start the engine; if it works the first time, then the reason is the catalytic filler and the tightness of the system. Otherwise, the reason lies elsewhere.

Secondary signs: reduced dynamics of vehicle acceleration, average speeds are reduced, fuel consumption increases, the “CHECK ENGINE” error indicator lights up on the central instrument panel.

The above symptoms may not always objectively indicate the exact cause of the breakdown. Auto mechanics recommend using several at the same time. For example, increased fuel consumption may not always indicate a problem with the exhaust system. There are many related breakdowns that can give such a symptom.

In 99% of cases, a clear whistle in the area of the engine compartment is guaranteed to identify the breakdown. Of course, if a turbine is not installed. But it is not provided in Lada Kalina.

Reasons for removing and replacing the exhaust manifold Lada Kalina

The exhaust manifold is made of cast iron, which is very resistant to temperatures. However, a critical temperature - 800-900 degrees - can render the distributor unusable. In addition, there are many other factors that negatively affect it. This list can include:

Mechanical damage;
Loss of tightness at the junction with the cylinder head (cylinder block);
Inoperative condition of the gasket between the BC head and the manifold;
Due to constant overheating, cracks or warping may occur.

Sometimes replacing the exhaust manifold on Kalina 8 valves is necessary in order to install a more advanced and high-quality part.

Important! The exhaust manifold gasket is created from pressed reinforced asbestos and is necessary to create a tight connection between the BC head and the distributor. The fact is that the BC head is made of aluminum, and the manifold is made of cast iron. Therefore, under the influence of temperature, these two elements expand and contract differently. And asbestos allows you to coordinate the difference in thermal expansion. The main threat to the gasket is constant exposure to high temperatures.

There are a number of symptoms that will tell you that you need to replace the exhaust manifold of your Lada Kalina:

In any operating mode, the engine makes an unpleasant characteristic sound;
Exhaust gases enter under the hood or even into the interior of your car;
The engine loses power due to a mismatch between the BC head and the manifold.

When is it time to change the block head?

The cylinder head is a fairly strong unit and its replacement and repair is infrequent. On domestically produced cars, as a rule, it has to be removed due to cylinder leakage or gasket wear.

New gasket

Also removed for revision. Removing and replacing, on a car with any number of valves, the process itself is not difficult, but some skills and some experience are required. Therefore, if you are removing the cylinder head for the first time, it would be better to invite a more experienced car enthusiast as an assistant. One who has already dealt with this work, or better yet, if he has already completed modifications or repairs to this unit.

Replacement of the intake pipe gasket and catalytic collector

The intake pipe and catalytic collector are connected to the cylinder head through a common sealing gasket. The gasket also covers two channels of the cylinder head cooling jacket, which extend into the plane of the junction of the head with the intake pipe and catalytic collector. We carry out the work on an inspection ditch or overpass. Drain the coolant from the engine (see “Checking the level and replacing the coolant”). We remove the receiver (see “Removing the receiver”) and the fuel rail with injectors (see “Checking the injectors, removing the fuel rail and injectors”). Disconnect the engine management system wiring harness block from the oxygen concentration sensor wiring harness block (see “Removing the control oxygen concentration sensor”). Having unscrewed the three nuts securing the pipe flange of the additional muffler to the flange of the catalytic collector, we disconnect the additional muffler from the catalytic collector (see “Removing the additional muffler”).

Before installation, we clean the mating surfaces of the cylinder head, intake pipe and cathode from remnants of the old gasket and carbon deposits. Apply graphite lubricant to the cylinder head studs. We carry out assembly in reverse order. At the four common fastening points of the intake pipe and the catalytic converter (their joints), it is necessary to install thick washers with a large outer diameter on the studs.

Dismantling

There is only one difficulty in this process - the inaccessibility of some fasteners. It is best to carry out this “operation” in a viewing hole or on a lift. Of course, this is not necessary, but it is much more convenient.

Work order:

First you need to remove the negative terminal from the battery or turn off the mains switch.
Next, it is recommended to drain all the antifreeze into a container prepared in advance.
Next, you need to disconnect the fuel pipes. If the coolant is not drained, at this stage it will go into the cylinders.
Now you have to find the throttle position and idle speed sensors, and then remove the wires from them.
We first remove the crankcase ventilation from the hoses, then the brake booster.
Remove the intake manifold (receiver) together with the throttle assembly.
Then remove the fuel rail (without disassembling) and the wires from the injector.
There's not much left. Now you need to remove the heat reflecting screen. The exhaust pipe of the muffler is unscrewed from the manifold.
We remove the exhaust manifold Kalina 8 valves from the BC head studs, to do this we unscrew the fastenings shown below in the figure

Lada Kalina (8, 16 valves): replacing the catalyst with a spider or flame arrester

LADA Kalina has been produced since 2003, when the first copies rolled off the assembly line.
Before this, prototypes of future production models were repeatedly tested. The process of creating the model itself turned out to be quite difficult and lengthy.

The first developments began back in 1999 and lasted until 2003.

During its existence, the model has undergone repeated updates. There were four in total:

1.4 liter engine, 16 valve mechanism, Euro standardization – 3, 4;
1.6-liter engine, 16-valve mechanism, Euro standardization – 3, 4 (production started in December 2009);
1.6-liter engine, 8-valve mechanism, Euro standardization – 2, 3 (subject to the “Basic” package);
1.6-liter engine, 8-valve mechanism, Euro 4 standardization (Lux+ package from November 2011).

Despite the many positive aspects of the car and the brand as a whole, it is necessary to highlight a number of weak points. These are: fuel system, exhaust gas recirculation system.

After a run of 80-100 thousand km, the metal housing of the exhaust manifold begins to crack at the seams. Flange connections are torn away from their seats. This does not take into account the fact that the catalyst itself needs to be changed due to burnout of internal parts due to systematic contact with a hot flame flow. The average gas temperature reaches 600℃.

How to install a 4-2-1 spider in place of the standard converter on a Lada Kalina 8V

In a car exhaust system, a catalytic converter is needed to burn harmful elements in the exhaust gases to the level of H2O and CO2. It is quite difficult to predict its service life, since it depends on many factors. But many owners of VAZ cars prefer to get rid of the collector before the end of its service life. For these purposes, they use special inserts, which are an inexpensive alternative to a neutralizer.

Contents Some car enthusiasts are sure that even a working neutralizer prevents the engine from developing the power it needs. This is not true. As for clogged or melted honeycombs, this phenomenon is the result of careless handling of the vehicle and its operation with a faulty fuel supply and ignition system.

The main reasons for device failure:

Unbalanced fuel-air mixture due to a broken oxygen sensor.
Unsatisfactory fuel quality.
Incorrect ignition operation.
Mechanical damage to the collector.
Use of fuel additives.

For the most part, replacing the catalyst on Kalina 8 valves is done as a result of using low quality fuel. Its slow combustion occurs partly in the exhaust. The detonation of gasoline destroys the ceramic structure of the honeycomb, which over time begins to crumble and clog thin passages.

The engine begins to overheat and loses traction. An obstacle to the free passage of gases contributes to an increase in their pressure.

What does the muffler consist of?

The main part of the exhaust system serves to absorb noise. On the Lada Kalina car, this function is performed by a pipe, which includes the muffler itself and its resonator.

The thickening is the resonator, the end is the muffler itself

The pipe has a completely sealed body, which is manufactured using the rolling method, that is, without the use of a welding machine. Thanks to this, the muffler is durable and does not corrode. And the resonator, which is also located in the pipe, consists of several closed chambers. These chambers are connected to each other by small tubes with holes in them. Thanks to this structure, the resonator can quickly smooth out all acoustic vibrations. In the latest modifications of the Lada Kalina, the inside of the resonator is lined with sound-absorbing material.

Replacement of intake manifold gaskets VAZ 2114 8 cl (Kalina, 2110)

21.03.2019 2095

It is recommended to replace the gaskets on the VAZ intake manifold after each removal. But I had to do this prematurely, as I discovered a significant air leak, which mainly manifested itself on a cold engine. Every cold start was accompanied by a terrible tripping.

In addition to the tripping when cold, there was a slight drop in speed when sharply pressing the gas pedal. This applies to both a cold and a hot engine.

A homemade smoke generator made from a cigarette helped me detect the air leak. A very simple and primitive contraption that has helped me out more than once.

My car (Kalina 1.6 8 valves) has a plastic intake manifold (receiver). The same will be installed on all VAZ family cars with an 8-valve 1.6-liter engine (2114, 2110, etc.). 4 rubber rings act as gaskets. According to reviews, black rings last much longer than white ones. And I was convinced of this personally - these gaskets lasted for about six months and began to let air through. They felt like plastic to the touch. Unfortunately, I didn’t find black ones, so I’ll install white ones again. I hope these last longer.

To remove the intake manifold (receiver), you must first unscrew the corrugation from the air filter, the throttle cable, and the small crankcase ventilation hoses. I will not remove the throttle and its heating.

The intake manifold is attached to 5 studs - one in the center, two on the sides. To unscrew them you will need a 13mm socket. After unscrewing the nuts, you need to remove the receiver itself from the studs and move it to the side. Remove the old gaskets and wipe the seats from oil and dirt. You also need to wipe the seat on the engine.

The manifold has special grooves for guides on the gaskets. The gaskets must be installed with the higher side in the plastic manifold. It is the guide that will prevent you from making mistakes.

I additionally coated the areas near the guides with sealant on the outside of the gasket. Because it felt like that was where the ring entered the groove the deepest. In addition, there was a place for air leaks on the old gaskets.

After all procedures, the intake manifold can be installed back. I couldn't find any information on how tightly to tighten the mounting nuts. I delayed it at my own peril and risk. The main thing is not to overtighten, as the manifold is plastic and can crack.

This is how I replaced the old intake manifold gaskets on my Kalina with new ones. There is no more air leakage, the engine stopped stalling when cold and began to behave much better when warm.

Malfunctions and repairs of the Super Auto 21128 engine

The first version of the 128 engine was created on the basis of the VAZ 21124 ten-seater engine, but with cylinders bored out by 0.5 mm, a crankshaft with a stroke of 84 mm, a connecting rod of 129 mm, with lightweight pistons of our own design, which are close in weight to those of Priora, the pistons have counterbores , therefore, if the timing belt breaks, the VAZ 21128 engine does not bend the valve. The cylinder head remained from the 124 engine, with slightly modified combustion chambers. VAZ 21128 1.8 liter engine. injection in-line 4-cylinder with overhead camshafts, timing belt driven. It was not possible to find official data on the service life of motor 21128, but in practice it is not extremely high, this can be explained simply: the height of the block remained the same and in order to increase the piston stroke with a long-stroke crankshaft, it was necessary to use short connecting rods, due to this serious stresses appeared in the piston due to the increased angle of inclination of the connecting rod during rotation and the piston now presses with great force on the side walls of the cylinders, as a result of which there is a high load on the connecting rod itself, on the walls, on the piston and rings. What we have: more wear and the problem of oil burning, very strong burning... from 0.7-1 liters. and up to 3+ l. per 1000 km. Major repairs often occur before reaching 100 thousand km; reviews of the 21128 engine are among the most negative. To all these shortcomings we should add the classic shortcomings inherent in all 124 and 126 engines (written about HERE and HERE) and the result will be a Super Auto 1.8 engine, do you need this? Decide for yourself.
