Model VAZ-21099 Sputnik / Samara Forma is a four-door sedan of the Volga Automobile Plant.

The VAZ 21099 model has been produced since 1990. "Ninety-ninth" is, in essence, a "nine" with a four-door sedan. The final model of the Samar family differed from its older sisters in its overall length, which, due to the increase in the rear overhang, increased by 200 mm in relation to other cars of the family. In this model, the original radiator lining, the hood and front fenders were made without a plastic "mask", and the interior was distinguished by a new panel ( popular name"high") with a tachometer in the instrument cluster. Subsequently, these solutions were transferred to the entire Samara family. Before the release of cars of the LADA 110 family, this model was the most prestigious and popular. Advantages and advantages of VAZ-21099 cars, like all models of the Samara family: high speed, good handling and stability on various types of roads. Additional advantages are given by a 3-volume body with a spacious trunk.

VAZ 21099 - front-wheel drive sedan with gasoline engine 1.5 liter and 5 speed mechanical box gear. Model VAZ-21099i with an economical 1.5 liter engine with multiport fuel injection (injector) that meets international standards for toxicity of the exhaust system. The panel equipment includes an original instrument cluster, illuminated switches that provide electric control of windows and door locks. Onboard system control notifies the driver about the health individual nodes car. Complete with a new panel, a steering column with an adjustable angle of inclination is used. A more comfortable fit for the driver and passengers will be ensured by the use of new seat padding material and height adjustment of the seat belt attachment points. Installing fog lights optimizes light specifications car in inclement weather. VAZ-21099 retains its dignity regardless of external circumstances. Responding positively to tightening environmental requirements, and in an effort to increase comfort for its potential owners, the plant installs on the VAZ-21099 more economical engine with distributed fuel injection, which meets international standards for toxicity of the exhaust gas system with a converter.

Since the start of production in different years modifications were produced with carburetor and injection engines with a working volume of 1.3 liters (VAZ-210993) and 1.5 liters (VAZ-21099). The following versions are provided for cars with carburetor engines - "standard" (VAZ-21099-00), "norm" (VAZ-210992-01) and "luxury" (VAZ-21099-02), for cars with distributed fuel injection - "standard" (VAZ-21099-20), "norm" (VAZ-210992-21) and "luxury" (VAZ-21099-22).

At present, the VAZ-21099 is still considered one of the most prestigious domestic models and is still highly rated on the market as the most convenient and now familiar and practical car. Suffice it to say that this, in principle, urban sedan, you can still regularly go to the country. Already initially high for a domestic small car price VAZ-21099 hints that the car is not designed to transport goods to the market. But for representatives of the "middle class" (especially those affected by the crisis), "ninety-ninth" is simply great option. The car is quite representative, universal (back rear seat albeit not in parts, but leans back, allowing you to transport long loads). To the best of decent domestic upholstery materials available for the plant, do not scare away "our" consumer with their imperfection.

However, given the rank of the model, get ready to overpay! If it's a Sputnik VAZ-21099 - pay a little less, if it's a re-export Samara Forma - a little more. If the seller is young, and his "car" is plastered with stickers and stuffed with "toys", like a mini-market showcase, then it is better to assess not so much the age and wear and tear of the car as its possible criminal past (the model has long been the leader in the country in terms of "stealing"). The re-export Samaras found on the market must be equipped with an exhaust gas catalytic converter (beware of leaded gasoline!), Which has been installed since 1993. Among all versions of engines, the most preferable will be the standard 1.5-liter 70-horsepower carburetor, the repair of which, thank God, has nevertheless mastered the repair. However, due to the prevalence on the VAZ-2108 and VAZ-2109, the 1.3-liter 64-horsepower carburetor engine is still very popular (its only significant disadvantage there is a danger of bending the valves if the camshaft drive belt breaks). Regarding the feasibility of the newfangled fuel injection system and its repair, there are still doubts due to some high cost and unreliability of the electronic unit that controls this injection. Although, it must be admitted, the prevalence of spare parts for the injection system (at least in the capital), as well as the possibilities for its repair, are steadily growing. The advantages of injection compared to a carburetor - stable operation, economy and environmental friendliness - are obvious. Moreover, recently everything goes to the domestic market more cars with an "adapted" injection system without a converter, which allows it to be operated on leaded gasoline.

"Spicy" steering, so characteristic of all cars of the first front-wheel drive generation of VAZ (also referred to as "chisel"), on the "ninety-ninth" it is somewhat blurred by the greater roll of the elongated sedan in turns. Rigid suspension no worse and no better than many foreign cars. Therefore, driving comfort is not the best thing in this car. However, the seats are soft, the ceiling is too, and everything else is made of rubber and polyurethane foam, so this sedan among all compatriots is also safe inside ...

As opposed to the VAZ-21099, a five-seat five-door VAZ-2109F "Chelnok" can be considered for use for utilitarian purposes, originally intended for the transport of small consignments. However, due to the low carrying capacity (two people and 300 kg of cargo), the machine is perfect as an exit vehicle. family car to the cottage The car is based on a hatchback, so the list standard equipment almost no different from the VAZ-2109 and VAZ-21093. The roof height of the plastic top is 1900 mm. Coupled with front-wheel drive, which allows you to "keep" the road well, this car is consumer qualities stands head and shoulders above the Izh-2715 vans.

Serial production of a car (in the west, the model is sold under brand Lada Forma) began in 1990. This is a front-wheel drive five-seater four-door sedan, which, in fact, is a modification of the VAZ-2109 model, which has a hatchback body type.

By their own design features VAZ 21099 differs from all other LADA Samara models (first of all, the differences in the rear part of the body should be highlighted here - a trunk has appeared like a typical sedan).

The optimal technical characteristics of the VAZ 21099 determine the main advantages of this model: excellent handling, high stability and very good road dynamics. Engine VAZ 21099 - injection, four-cylinder, working volume - 1499. The driving wheels are front. Steering type - rack and pinion. The maximum speed developed by the model is 160 km/h.

Another advantage that made the VAZ 21099 one of the most popular domestic cars mobiles- this is the optimal fuel consumption (5.9 l / 100 km - at a speed of 90 km / h; 8.0 l / 100 km - at a speed of 120 km / h and 8.8 l / 100 km - in the urban cycle). At the moment, the Ukrainian ZAZ plant is assembling this model based on Russian components.

The VAZ 21099 car, which received the name Sputnik in the domestic market, and Samara Forma in the export version, was produced in a sedan body, with four doors and front-wheel drive. The release of this model began in 1990, and its peculiarity is that it differs from the usual "nine" only in the body.

VAZ 21099 Sputnik won the sympathy of both domestic and foreign consumers and until the advent of the Lada 110 remained the most popular VAZ car. Bases – high resistance to different types road surface, good handling, high speed. And for the happy owners of suburban areas (or travel lovers), the developers have provided a spacious trunk and a three-dimensional body.

Of particular note is the long-term leadership of this model in domestic market and increased interest in it from the hijackers. Therefore, when buying a VAZ 21099 Sputnik (or Lada Forma), you should first of all evaluate the possible criminal past of the car.

The creators of the VAZ 21099 thought about summer residents, as well as small entrepreneurs. Especially for them, the VAZ 2109f Shuttle model was developed (recall, this is what small-scale wholesale dealers were called). The carrying capacity of the car was about 300 kilograms, while a passenger could be next to the driver.

VAZ 2109f Shuttle was produced on the basis of a hatchback, the height of the model was 190 cm. Good handling and road stability allowed the VAZ 2109f Shuttle to overtake its main competitor, the Izh 2715 vans, which were aimed at the same target audience.

Engine Specifications

VAZ 21099 Sputnik was equipped with an economical one and a half liter four-stroke gasoline engine. Injector, with distributed fuel injection, the VAZ 21099 Sputnik engine at the time of its release met all international environmental safety requirements, and therefore was sold quite effectively abroad.
Throughout its history, the VAZ 21099 Sputnik was equipped with injection (with multiport fuel injection) (standard - VAZ 21099-20, norm VAZ 210992-21 and luxury VAZ 210099-22), as well as carburetor engines (standard - VAZ 21099-00, norm - VAZ 210992-01, luxury - VAZ 21099-02).

car transmission

VAZ 21099 Sputnik was equipped with a manual gearbox, in different trim levels- four or five steps. Transmission VAZ 21099 Sputnik was equipped with synchronizers in all forward gears.

Brake system and power steering

Being front wheel drive car, VAZ 21099 The satellite was equipped with two different brake mechanisms. The front brake mechanism is disc, with a movable caliper, the rear is drum. Gap adjustment between brake pads and the disk in the first case and the drum in the second is carried out automatically.

Of particular note is the presence of a hydraulic brake drive, which was also additionally equipped with a pressure regulator, a diagonal separation system of circuits and a vacuum booster.

Dimensions (edit)

VAZ 21099 Sputnik became the finishing touch in the Samara car family, but received distinctive features not characteristic of other members of this family. One of these features is the length of the body. Increasing the rear overhang has increased this overall indicator 20 cm compared to other Samaras. In addition, noteworthy is the rejection of the plastic elements of the front fenders and hood, as well as the original grille.

VAZ 2109 whose maximum speed is 150 km / h will be the topic of this article. The fact is that on the VAZ 21093 the maximum speed is different and it all depends on the modification and engine size.
We will conduct a brief review of the car, give its advantages and disadvantages.

Acquaintance

VAZ 2109 is a front-wheel drive car. Unlike its fellow G8, the Nine is seen as a more solid and stylish car.
The presence of five doors already speaks in favor of the car, ideal option for a family man. Vaz 2108 is more respected by singles (this explains the passion for tuning on the G8 for a sports version).

Note. Despite the less expressive appearance, VAZ 2109 did not escape the fate of being named as a "chisel", in view of the characteristic wedge-shaped body contours.

Peculiarities

Important points regarding the "nine":

• Since 1987, the VAZ 2109 began to be produced, but so far there can be no talk of a successful exit;
• The so-called "successful" modification of the car was released only in 1990. Naturally, the price for it is already different, higher;
• Uniqueness new modification VAZ 21093 attaches a separate segment to the front;
• As for the interior of the cabin, in this regard, the car is better than its predecessor: it is equipped with a more stylish one, endowed with a tachometer and even a trip computer.

Note. On-board computer on the VAZ 2109, it reminded of the key left, forgotten in the lock, unfastened seat belts, and so on.

• The most significant change between modifications concerned the dynamic performance of the engine. Fuel efficiency is improving, but this does not affect the power and maximum speed, which increase several times (on the first modification of the VAZ 2109, the speed was 148 km / h, and now it has become 156 km / h);
• The standard “nine” was equipped with a 1.3-liter 4-cylinder carburetor power unit. The engine power was 65 hp. Loaded to the full "nine", it could accelerate to a hundred in 18 s, and the maximum speed was 156 km / h;
• A new restyling took place after the 97th year, when instead of a 1.3-liter engine, they began to install a 1.5-liter one. This unit already produced 72 hp. and he had best result on acceleration from a place.

Note. In the future, this version has already become standard. Does it appear a new version with an injection unit, but again a 1.5-liter.

If the maximum speed of the "nine" does not suit

According to statistics, today the majority of Russians are the owners of domestic cars. It is easy to explain this arrangement.
Our cars are practically unpretentious and practical. They don't require expensive spare parts, but you can do it yourself, even in an open field, without assistants.

"Nine" is one of the most popular models domestic auto industry. Many of the drivers decide to fortify the engine, chip tuning, as they are dissatisfied with the maximum speed that the car opens.
How can you give drive and speed to the “nine”, we learn from the instructions below:

• First of all, you need to examine the car. Carry out general cleaning, examining the body, trunk, interior. The fact is that excess rubbish can in no way help in increasing the speed of the car. This really interferes with movement and reduces dynamic performance.

Note. As for minor flaws on the body that do not directly affect the speed, over time they can develop into global corrosion, which will adversely affect the supporting structure.

• The next step is to check the condition of the tires. The fact is that low speed is caused by insufficient tire pressure.
  So, if they are lowered, the motor has to develop a completely different power, more. The power unit of the "nine" is no longer working as usual, but to overcome obstacles.
  All this negatively affects not only the maximum speed, but also.

Note. It is also recommended to upgrade the car's suspension. In particular, if you put gas shock absorbers, they will do their job much better.
If the driver often drives in urban conditions, then it is reasonable for him to put shortened springs, which will necessarily affect the reduction in ground clearance, and this, in turn, will increase speed.

• You can make the best acceleration of the vehicle if you do the checkpoint. The VAZ 2109 box is far from ideal, that's for sure and no one argues.
  There are large gaps between gears that interfere with normal technical acceleration. In this case, a complete overhaul of the gearbox can help, followed by the installation of a sports camshaft.

Note. As you know, the row in the sports camshaft is shorter and such an upgrade will significantly reduce the gap between high-speed gears (especially between 1st and 2nd). However, there are also disadvantages. In particular, on the VAZ 2109 with the installed sports nearby it will be more difficult to ride uphill than before.

• The engine must be given maximum attention. In this case, it will need to be improved.
  So, an increase in speed can be given, for example, by a properly tuned carburetor or a general modern firmware of the control unit of the power unit. In addition, the installation of a turbo kit will significantly increase the speed.

Note. There will be no problems with installing a turbo kit, since today turbines are sold in every large car shop and there are plenty of them. You should be aware that turbines differ in boost power and it is not worth installing an increased power turbine on the “nine”, due to weak body, which can not cope with such a load.

Turbocharged engine

Today, this procedure is becoming more and more popular. In numerous magazines, on forums, this issue is constantly discussed, many ways are offered on how to do this, including assembling a turbine with your own hands.
As a result, increase general features motor, the speed increases.
In fact, turbo tuning is an increase in the power ratings of a regular power unit, which occurs due to the installation of a so-called turbo kit. Turbocharging is a special type of tuning aimed at strengthening the main driving force of the car.
This very turbo kit can be installed on any engine, including the VAZ 2109.
The process of installing a turbo kit is as follows:

• A set of specific and standardized components is mounted in the "inside" of the car: a turbocharger, an intercooler, an exhaust manifold, and so on;
• After upgrading the engine, other parts of the car are also tuned, such as the chassis, gearbox, and so on;
• Be sure to make changes to some suspension mechanisms, since no specialist will be able to predict the behavior of the car when cornering after tuning.

Compressor and its installation

To strengthen the engine, a compressor can also be installed on the VAZ 2109. This is also a popular way to increase power. A mechanical supercharger, as the compressor is called, is suitable for VAZ models.

Note. As in the case of a turbine, tuning, by installing a compressor, is not carried out without the implementation of a general process. In other words, it is imperative to approach the installation from a comprehensive point of view.

Compressor or turbo

Among the tuners of the power unit of VAZ models, the choice almost always falls on the compressor, since this method is much easier to implement.
Here are some features:

• In some cases, it will be possible to increase engine power even with minimal engine modifications, which is simply impossible in the case of turbocharging;
• The compressor has a drive that will be connected directly to the crankshaft. Thus, the compressor is able to pump air into the cylinders at the minimum speed of the power unit, without delay, and increase the pressure strictly in proportion to the engine speed.

Note. Many compressors will not even require intervention in the standard lubrication and cooling system, as in the case of installing a turbine.

• The turbine increases the supply of the HT mixture, and this, in turn, increases the efficiency of the engine. But such a refinement is not cheap, it has many difficult moments. Just installing the exhaust manifold and setting up the turbine is worth something.

Note. In addition, the turbine itself will need a constant supply of oil under pressure, and this negatively affects the engine.

• The compressor has no such drawbacks. It is for this reason that it is popular with tuners;
• It is interesting that both devices are similar in principle of operation, however, the turbine operates under the influence of exhaust gases, and the compressor is driven directly from the crankshaft (more on this above). It turns out that the compressor is significantly more efficient than a turbine even on low revs due to the dependence of pressure on the speed of the power unit.

Note. The compressor also has its drawbacks. In particular, this is a slightly lower power increase, compared to what the turbine gives, lower efficiency by high revs and higher fuel consumption.

Installation of the compressor by experimental method

The compressor can be installed in two ways: experimentally and by purchasing a Kit kit.
The experimental method implies the following:

• We take some kind of compressor from a foreign car (it must be suitable in terms of indicators and technical characteristics);
• Takes into account everything: dimensions, weight, volume and so on;
• We also take into account whether the compressor will require a coolant supply and whether it has its own independent lubrication system;
• Next, we determine the general concept of the future engine, depending on the estimated power: how the fasteners will be carried out, what improvements to the internal combustion engine will be required, etc.;
• Then we provide piping and select / carry out the necessary chip tuning.

As you can see below, this approach has many more disadvantages.

Advantages of this method	Minuses
"Nine" will get a new and exclusive look	The complexity and high cost of the project
Having carried out this method, the owner can always boast of successfully applied solutions.	Difficulties associated with experimental solutions
It is possible to implement individual solutions	Mandatory revision individual elements systems
	Mandatory involvement of third-party specialists who are able to competently select components for an individual project
	Any miscalculation when carrying out this method threatens with disastrous breakdowns of the VAZ 2109 power unit

Installing a ready-made kit

The second method looks much more attractive. What is a kit kit?
This is a completely ready-made kit that allows you to implement. It includes the compressor itself, which is already designed for the VAZ 2109 and adapted for it.
In addition, the kit includes the necessary accessories for connection and configuration. This solution has many advantages, but the main thing, perhaps, is that the owner himself can, with his own hands, carry out the installation.
In this case, installation can be carried out, again, in two ways:

• By installing a kit kit with a compressor from a foreign car, fully adapted to the VAZ 2109;
• By installing a kit kit assembled in China along with components and sold officially.

Thus, increasing the maximum speed of a VAZ 2109 car is a possible and popular thing. In the process of carrying out the work, it will be useful to watch a thematic video review, study photos - materials, diagrams. The instructions won't hurt either.

VAZ 21099 became latest model cars of the Samara family. Having received a sedan body, Lada 21099 no longer has practically no differences from its predecessor, the “nine”. For 15 years of production, the model has been upgraded several times, but has always been popular and in high demand among domestic motorists.

Cars of this brand still occupy one of the first places in sales on secondary market. Despite the fact that the car was discontinued in 2004, its number on our roads is still large. In this regard, one should recall the technical characteristics inherent in the VAZ 21099 and consider in detail the features inherent in this vehicle. You should also consider the carburetor and injector, engine specifications.

Auto Body Overview

The 99th was produced with a sedan body, which made it possible to eliminate one of the shortcomings characteristic of the VAZ 2109, throwing mud rear window. In general, he is very ascetic, which was typical for all domestic cars of that time. However, it was the sedan that allowed the designers to achieve a greater possible load on the body as a whole. And the question arises, how much does the car weigh at the moment? However, the weight of the car has not changed much compared to its predecessor - the mass is 950 kg.

Overall dimensions also remained the same. The exception is the length, which has increased by 200 mm due to the rear overhang. The body design remained virtually unchanged for all 15 years of production, and the VAZ 21099 also has an injector technical specifications also remained the same. This explains the great popularity among car tuning enthusiasts. Like all previous models of this family, the interior of the car originally had a so-called low panel.

The instrument cluster in the early 99s had a more modest package. Subsequently, the car was equipped with a panel, dimensions which not only made it more capacious externally, but also made it possible to place the speakers of the speaker system in it. At the same time, the squeak in the car has become much larger, this is noted by almost all motorists.

The clearance of the car is 15 cm. This is quite enough for comfortable ride on national roads. Of course, this is less than that of crossovers and especially SUVs, but the weight of the 99th is much less. The ground clearance of the machine can be slightly increased by using larger diameter discs. However, do not abuse it - the car's handling is deteriorating.

VAZ 21099 has a roomy trunk, and the dimensions of the body allow you to carry cargo in it, which has an impressive weight. But to put everything in luggage compartment, first you have to raise them to a decent height.

Engine types

The first VAZ 21099 were equipped with carburetor engine volume of 1.3 liters. However, a lot of shortcomings, the main among which are bending valves when the timing belt breaks, led to the replacement of this unit with a 1.5-liter one. With him, the technical parameters of the VAZ 21099 carburetor improved markedly, and malfunctions began to occur less frequently. The power unit allowed the car to accelerate to 100 km in 13.5 s with one passenger and in 15 s if its weight was close to the maximum.

The power of the car is 70 liters. With. Fuel consumption - about 6 liters. The engine is single-row, the cylinders are combined into a common block, which makes it possible to increase rigidity and reduce dimensions and weight. When the belt breaks, the valves on it do not bend. In 1997, the first car was produced, the engine of which had a distributed injection. This power unit turned out to be so successful that even now it underlies all the engines of the Volga plant.

How the technical parameters of the VAZ 21099 injector have changed after the modernization of the motor, we will consider below. The engine has a displacement of 1500 cc and an 8-valve design. Of course, all over the world this has not been something advanced for a long time, but do not forget that in Russia it was the first experience with an injection engine. The designers of the plant managed to create a unit that they managed to put on a car without additional alteration of the VAZ body.

At the same time, the technical characteristics of the VAZ injector remained practically unchanged, the weight of the car and ground clearance remained the same. It is worth noting that on some models the clearance still became a little less due to the use of a converter. In the machine 21099 injector power specifications have increased. Now it is 81 liters. With. At the same time, it was possible to achieve fuel savings - about 10-15 percent.

According to the owners, injection greatly facilitates starting the engine in cold weather. At the same time, in their opinion, the car lost its maintainability. V injection engines a mixture of gasoline vapor and air is forced into the cylinders. This process is controlled by a special device - the electronic unit management. The designers of the plant did not invent it, but took it ready. Initially, a block from GM was used.

However, in 1999, preference was given to the Bosch ECU. In addition, the domestic device "January" was used on the car. All ECUs provide on the VAZ 21099 injector technical parameters of approximately the same level and they are used not only on cars of the Samara family. If an injector is installed, the technical characteristics of the car engine are as close as possible to European environmental safety standards.
