The VAZ Kalina 11193 engine is a low-budget version that was developed specifically for the new generation Lada cars. Power unit 11193 showed itself quite well during operation. So, many car enthusiasts who want to save money on a car choose the Lada Kalina.
Specifications
The technical characteristics of the VAZ 11193 engine are not much different from its predecessor 1118. In fact, the engines can be called identical, but differences still exist. So, let's look at the technical characteristics of the power unit.
| Name | Characteristic |
| Brand | Lada |
| Model | 11193 |
| Engine capacity | 1.6 liters (1596 cc) |

Maintenance of the Kalina 119 engine
Maintenance for this class of power units is the same. Following the manufacturer's recommendation, maintenance must be carried out every 15,000 km. But, as practice shows, the more often and better the maintenance is carried out, the greater the resource will be. Thus, the service life set by the AvtoVAZ plant is 200 thousand km, but if maintenance is carried out according to the following scheme, the VAZ 11193 engine can last the entire 300,000 km.
So, let’s write down an improved power unit maintenance scheme:
- TO-1: carry out after 5000 km. It involves changing the oil and oil filter. It is also recommended to replace the fuel filter element. This will allow the fuel system to receive more purified fuel at the initial stage of operation, thus saving the cylinder and injection system.
- TO-2: carried out at 15,000 km. Here it is necessary to replace the oil and filter, and also adjust the valve mechanism.
- TO-3: 25,000 km. This maintenance involves the standard replacement of the oil filter and engine lubrication, as well as changing the fuel and air filters, and the valve cover gasket. In this maintenance it is also necessary to diagnose all sensors and engine systems.
- TO-4: done after 40,000 km. So, in this case, in addition to replacing standard elements such as oil and filter, it is worth replacing the gas distribution mechanism kit. It is worth noting that untimely change of this consumable can lead to worse consequences for the engine.
Subsequent maintenance is carried out every 10-12 thousand km according to a given scheme. This can increase the engine life by 50,000 - 60,000 km, and if everything is fine, then by the entire 100 thousand km.
Maintenance
To ensure service life, the 11194 engine must be serviced in the prescribed manner:
| Oil consumption | 0.1 l/1000 km |
| Engine oil for 11194 | 5W-30 and 10W-40 |
| Engine oil volume | 3.5 l |
| Operating temperature | 83 – 103° |
| Motor life | stated 300,000 km |
| Adjustment of valves | hydraulic compensators |
| Cooling system | forced, antifreeze/antifreeze |
| Coolant quantity | 6.8 l |
| water pump | Luzar, resource 125,000 km or 2 years |
| Candles for 11194 | BCP6ES, AU17DVRM |
| Gap between spark plug electrodes | 1.1 mm |
| Timing belt | Gates, 137 teeth, 8 mm pitch, 22 mm belt width |
| Cylinder operating order | 1-3-4-2 |
| Air filter | Nitto, Hengst, Knecht, WIX, Fram |
| Oil filter | with check valve |
| Flywheel | from 2111 |
| Valve stem seals | light inlet |
| Compression | from 12 bar |
| XX speed | 800 – 850 min -1 |
| Tightening force of threaded connections | spark plug – 18 Nm |
| Maintenance object | Time, year or mileage, 1000 km, |
which comes first
The manufacturer recommends adhering to the specified frequency of replacing consumables and carrying out repair operations. In this case, the internal combustion engine design and factory equipment will allow the overhaul to be delayed by 200,000 km.
Power unit repair
Repairing the VAZ 11193 power unit is quite simple, since in terms of design features it is not much different from the 1118 and its modifications. The only typical design difference is a sixteen-valve cylinder head and an improved version of the water pump. But even this cannot be handled by an experienced motorist.
As previously stated, some engine elements should be changed on time. Thus, untimely replacement of the timing belt can lead to bent valves and even worse consequences. Thus, repair operations should be carried out on time.
Repair and diagnostic instructions can be found on the global network, or you can also easily find a book on the repair and operation of cars of the Lada Kalina family, which was published by the manufacturer. It contains all the necessary information for carrying out repair operations and servicing the car engine.
Malfunctions: causes, elimination
If the drive timing is out of order, the 11183 motor will not bend the valve, but it has the following typical faults:
| Floating revolutions | 1) ignition module malfunction |
4) TPS sensor malfunction
1) module replacement2) installing a new gasket
4) repair or replacement of the throttle position sensor
Extraneous noise1) misalignment of valve clearances4) make liners
1) adjustment using valve shims2) replacement of pistons, piston rings
4) use of new headphones
Broken alternator belt, overvoltage, manufacturing defect, regular inspection, replacement if necessarySince a feature of the 11183 internal combustion engine is a well-thought-out design of valves and pistons, major repairs in most cases are carried out on time without additional investment on the part of the user.
Tuning and modification
Modification of the VAZ 11193 engine is quite easy. Thus, the tuning process is divided into two stages, which can be carried out together or separately: software and mechanical. Let's start with the more common option - electronic.
Perhaps almost every car enthusiast has heard of this type of modification called chip tuning. This is the firmware of the on-board computer to perform certain functions. So, chip tuning comes in three types: standard, power, and efficiency. Depending on what the car owner requires, the ECU is programmed.
The mechanical modification option is not common because it is quite expensive and time-consuming. So, the first thing that is being finalized is the piston group. In this case, the cylinder walls are bored for new pistons, and the elements themselves are purchased lightweight from the ATF manufacturer. Also, along with the piston group, connecting rods and liners are also changed.
The second stage of improvement is the installation of sports camshafts and the replacement of the valve mechanism with a lighter one. For the sixteen-valve Kalina, the manufacturer DEF offers a whole set of improved parts, namely: valves, seats, guide bushings, camshafts and oil seals.
Interior
In the center console you can find a very convenient and spacious storage compartment. It can be standard or improved (depending on the configuration). The glove compartment has also undergone some changes: it is pleasingly large in size. I purchased a folding cup holder, which is convenient for rear passengers. The main colors were black and gray shades.
There is an LCD screen (which is logical). Thanks to it, the driver of the Kalina car (VAZ-1119) sees gear shift prompts.
Conclusion
The VAZ 11193 engine is a continuation of the beloved 1118 power unit. Thus, the engine showed itself on the positive side. As practice has shown, it is quite easy to maintain and repair, and the pricing policy for consumables is low, which allows this engine to remain in the budget price category.
Also, superficial tuning is easily carried out, but if the car enthusiast wants more, he will have to turn to professionals.
Sain Bayna or in Russian Hello everyone. AvtoVAZ would not be AvtoVAZ if it threw out various riddles and pretzels.
Once, while repairing my car, I was slightly intrigued by the presence of block number 11193 on the casting. But how did it end up on 21124?
Let's turn to the mighty Internet, for the query “Block 11193” Google brought up an interesting link from the drive www.drive2.ru/communities/remontVAZ/forum/715741. I quote: “I accidentally saw the inscription 11193 on my block, although the engine is 8-valve, model 21114. According to catalogs and descriptions on the Internet, this engine is equipped with cylinder block 11183. In this regard, I wrote a question to AvtoVAZ - 01/11/13 “How to The 8-valve engine turned out to have a 16-valve cylinder block? Maybe this is some kind of modification for 8-valve engines with installed oil injectors? I couldn’t find any information on this issue on the Internet.”
and received the answer - 01/12/13 “Good afternoon! Thank you for your request. You are wrong. Cylinder block 11193 from an eight-valve engine. The 16-valve engine corresponds to the numbers 11196 (1.6) and 11194 (1.4)” Bureau for Analysis of the Quality of Automobiles in Warranty Operation. Quality engineer. Vasily Anatolyevich ..."
The same Internet produces yet another information, I quote: - “VAZ 11193 cylinder block assembly. Used on the VAZ 21124 engine. Cylinder block 11193. Designation - 11193-100201100. Applicability: VAZ 21124 engine. Cylinder block 11193 is installed on VAZ 21124 engines. This model is the result of modification of block 2112. The increased height (197.1 mm) of the cylinders made it possible to increase the engine volume to 1.6 liters. Block 11193 retained the features of the “2112”: mounting holes for the block head measuring M10x1.25 and the presence of special oil nozzles for cooling the pistons. But there are no holes on the body for the oil level sensor. On the case there is a model designation, the inscription “11193”. Cylinder block 11193 is painted grey.”
What the hell is this? Okay, the engine block is from an 8-valve engine, so why is it also blue and not gray, as according to the Internet? In a word, AvtoVAZ, this cannot be explained, perhaps we should ask their engineers a question.
When buying a car, not all car enthusiasts are interested in whether the power plant installed on the car is “plug-in”, i.e. Do the valves on it bend when the timing belt breaks? And this question is quite important and the answer to it determines how labor-intensive and how much it will cost to repair the engine in the event of such a breakdown.
What is a “plug-in engine”?
This concept characterizes the likelihood of a collision between pistons and valves, as a result of which the latter are damaged - they bend.
This situation occurs when the timing drive breaks, when the gas distribution mechanism stops, but the crank continues to work by inertia.
“Plug-in” and “non-plug-in” power units are available in the lineup of almost all automakers, including VAZ. At the same time, the second engine option, naturally, is a higher priority when choosing a car.
If we consider AvtoVAZ products, then this manufacturer’s line of power plants is quite extensive, and in some engines, when the timing drive breaks, the valve bends, while in others such a breakdown does not occur.
The problem when choosing to purchase a VAZ car is the fact that the same model can be equipped with both “plug-in” and “non-plug-in” units, which can confuse the buyer.
See below for which engines are installed on some VAZ models.
It is worth noting that the type of timing drive affects the likelihood of valve bending. For example, on the VAZ of the classic family (VAZ-2101-2107) and also the Niva, only plug-in engines were installed. But the engines of these cars use a timing chain drive, which is highly reliable. Therefore, on classic VAZ and Niva, the problem of valve bending due to a collision with the piston is, in fact, not relevant due to the low probability of its occurrence.
Why do engines bend valves?
One of the ways to increase engine power is to ensure the most efficient filling of the combustion chambers with the air-fuel mixture and removal of exhaust gases. And this is done in two ways - by increasing the number of valves per cylinder and increasing the throughput of the intake and exhaust ports.
The second method is implemented by increasing the distance where the valve exits the seat, and this is what causes it to collide with the piston with subsequent bending.
Thanks to the drive of the gas distribution mechanism from the crankshaft, synchronous operation of the timing belt and crankshaft is ensured. During normal operation of the power unit, as the piston approaches TDC, the valves are in the closed position, which prevents their contact.
If the drive of the gas distribution mechanism is broken, the connection between the mechanisms is lost, and the timing belt immediately stops, and the crankshaft continues to function (due to the inertia of the flywheel). In this case, the return valve springs set the camshaft in a position in which most of the cams of the shaft do not press on the valves (they are closed), but some of them still rotate so that they act on the valves and the latter are open.
In “non-plug-in” engines, it is structurally designed to maintain the distance between the valve plate and the piston bottom located at TDC, so even with the valves open, contact does not occur.
On these power plants, a break in the gas distribution mechanism drive does not lead to any internal damage to components and parts, and to restore the operation of the power unit it is enough to install a new belt and perform adjustment work (align everything according to the marks).
But if the power plant is “plug-in”, strongly protruding valves collide with the piston, which leads to their bending. On such engines, timing drive failure is usually accompanied by a strong single knock. Engine repair in this case is labor-intensive and expensive, since damaged parts have to be replaced and the cylinder head restored.
On VAZ power units that are susceptible to valve bending when the drive breaks, it is especially important to timely replace the timing belt and periodically diagnose its condition, check and adjust the tension. Such measures are practically the only way to prevent valve failure.
VAZ engines – “non-stick” and “risky”
Since several power plants are installed on each of the VAZ models, it is important to know which of them are “plug-in”.
As already noted, the classic VAZ (2101-2107) and VAZ Niva were equipped with power units in which the valves bend. But since the timing drive on these engines is a chain drive, “stick-in” can not be taken into account.
"Samara"
The following were installed on cars of the Samara family (VAZ 2108-21099):
- Units marked VAZ 21081, 2108 (carburetor and injection);
- Motors 21083, 21091;
- 8-valve VAZ-2111 (models of later years of production).
Of these, units 21083 and 2111 did not bend the valves when the timing belt broke, but versions 21081 and 2108 were “risky”.
VAZ 2110-2112
On models of the 10th family (VAZ-2110-2112), the range of power plants is even more extensive. Some units were installed on all cars of this family, while some were offered only for certain models.
Common to all models were engines with the indexes VAZ-2110, 2111 (8-valve), 2112, 21114, 21124. Of these, the VAZ-2112 and 21114 engines are “plug-in”, and the remaining valves do not bend.
Additionally, the VAZ-2112 model car was equipped with a VAZ-21128 power unit, which is also “risky” and bends the valves when the timing belt breaks.
"Samara-2"
Cars of the Samara-2 family, which includes the VAZ 2113-2115 models, are equipped with units of the VAZ-2111, 21114, 21124 and 21126 brands. Of these, only VAZ-2111 and 21124 engines are “risk-free”.
Also for the VAZ-2113 and 2115 versions, a motor with index 11183 was offered, in which a broken belt does not lead to bending of the valves.
"Granta", "Kalina", "Priora"
The Lada Granta is equipped with a line of units of the following brands: 11183, 11186, 21126 and 21128. The last two of them are also equipped with the Granta Sport version. Of all the engines, only version 11183 is “non-plug-in”, the rest have bent valves.
For the Lada Kalina, engines of the VAZ brands 11183, 11186, 11194, 21126 and 21127 are offered. The last two units are also installed on the Kalina Sport model, and the Cross version is equipped with engines 21127 and 11186. Of the entire line, only the VAZ-11183 engine does not bend valves when the timing belt breaks.
Special features of the VAZ 1117 – Lada Kalina Universal
This is the Lada model
The Lada Kalina station wagon (factory code VAZ 1117) appeared on the country's roads in early 2007. This car was developed on the basis of the VAZ 1118 sedan, which entered the market 3 years earlier. Like all cars of this model range, Kalina 1117 was created for intensive driving in urban conditions and, depending on the configuration, was equipped with 2 different injection engines, which provided the car with excellent dynamics. Despite similar speed and technical characteristics, the station wagon had a number of advantages compared to a hatchback car. Firstly, it was 19 centimeters longer, which significantly improved the comfort of rear seat passengers and increased the volume of cargo carried. Secondly, the station wagon’s ground clearance is 2.5 cm higher, which ensures better cross-country ability on snowy and dirt roads.
Foreign cars
Let's touch on the topic of foreign cars a little. Below is shown which engines from Toyota, Suzuki, Daewoo, Chevrolet, Citroen, Hyundai, Renault, Volvo, Kia, Fiat, Mercedes, Peugeot, Honda, Ford, Geely, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Audi, Volkswagen, Skoda, Opel, Lifan, Chery, Mazda, Subaru valve bends.
Determining which engine is risky
The large number of VAZ power units and the likelihood of getting into an experimental model makes it difficult to determine whether the engine on a particular car is “plug-in”. At the same time, even studying those. documentation does not always provide a reliable answer.
Determining whether a valve on an engine is bent can only be done by physically checking it. This operation is not entirely simple, especially for 16-valve units, but it allows you to accurately determine their susceptibility to valve bending.
This method is suitable for checking cars from other manufacturers.
The verification algorithm is very simple:
- Remove the timing belt from the engine;
- Set the piston of the first cylinder to TDC;
- We turn the camshaft (16-valve version - two) two turns;
- We set TDC on the second cylinder and again make two revolutions.
If during testing the camshafts rotate without locking, the engine does not bend the valves.
Although this testing method is labor-intensive - you have to disassemble the timing drive, then reassemble it, set it to the marks, but it gives an accurate answer.
Vehicle interior
External and adjustable using a handle. Before you start moving, you need to install them in such a way that the view is optimal.
Regardless of whether the ignition is on or not, the cigarette lighter works. In order for it to start functioning, it must be “drowned” in a special compartment. After 20 seconds the cigarette lighter will jump out hot.
The visors, which protect from the sun's rays, can be installed in three different positions, as desired by the passenger or driver.
Ways to solve the problem
Since the collision of pistons with valves has quite serious negative consequences, many car enthusiasts are interested in whether it is possible to influence this situation.
There are several methods that allow you to convert a valve-bending motor into a “plug-inless” one.
The simplest of them is installing pistons with grooves. By the way, on some VAZ engines this is how the problem with “sticking” is solved.
On the bottom of such pistons there are special recesses for valve plates. Due to this, the latter in the open position do not come into contact with the pistons installed at TDC.
But not all engines can be modernized in this way, for the reason that it is not always possible to find pistons with factory-made grooves to replace the “original” ones.
The second method is to independently make grooves on the piston. This method is suitable for those who have not found replacement “non-stick” pistons. But this method has a significant drawback - it is very difficult to make identical recesses on all pistons. As a result, an imbalance in the weight of the pistons may occur, which will affect the service life of the crankshaft. Also, grooves of different sizes can cause different compression in the cylinders, and this problem cannot be eliminated.
The third method is to increase the height of the combustion chamber. This is done by installing 2-3 gaskets under the head of the block. This method has a negative side - an increase in the volume of the combustion chamber, which entails a drop in compression, and as a result - a decrease in power and an increase in fuel consumption.
Comfort
Tuning of the VAZ-1119 is made with passengers and the driver in mind. Getting into the car is quite comfortable due to the fact that the doors are wide and the opening has very impressive dimensions. The height of the car can surprise you; even tall people will find it comfortable to sit in the cabin. The seats are also more comfortable.
The manufacturer tried to make the driver's seat very ergonomic and adjusted it to European standards. The cabin is equipped with high-slung chairs, and the control panel has a logical and understandable interface. The control system is equipped with special buttons for better functionality. In addition, the characteristics of the VAZ-1119 allow us to say that the interior is made in the best style. Climate monitoring systems are available.
Tuning and its influence on “stickiness”
VAZ is an excellent option for tuning a car, which is what many owners use. One of the main types of engine tuning is to increase its power, and this is done in the same way that designers use - by ensuring better filling of the cylinders with the air-fuel mixture. To do this, you just need to install a tuning camshaft instead of the standard one - with a higher cam height.
But increasing power with the help of a tuning shaft also has a negative side - the valves extend from the seats at a greater distance, which means that the likelihood of them colliding with the pistons increases when the timing drive breaks. Therefore, such tuning makes even a “risk-free” engine “plug-in”.
In order not to make the engine “risky”, when tuning it is better not to make adjustments to the timing belt design, but if you decide to upgrade, you should be prepared to constantly monitor the condition of the drive.
Finally, we note that if the engine is “plug-in”, this does not mean that it is very problematic. With timely maintenance of the timing drive, the likelihood of a breakdown such as valve bending is very low and it may not occur throughout the entire period of operation of the vehicle.
Design
Few people will think that the VAZ-1119 has a meager and uninteresting design. Initially, the car, thanks to its styling, began to attract the attention of buyers. The body has very interesting shapes, due to this the appearance is dynamic and unusual. If you look at the car in more detail, it will appear muscular and large. This effect is achieved with the help of a raised front end, high headlights, an unusual bumper for this line and special relief wheel arches. Just by looking at the appearance, you can immediately say that the car is truly reliable and comfortable. The manufacturer did a good job creating the VAZ-1119.
