Engine 21127: really better?

Many owners of Lada Kalina 2nd generation cars have already appreciated the new power unit, which they began to install on these models for the first time, and it comes out under the code name VAZ 21127. Some may think that this is all the same engine that was once installed on most Lada Priora cars, but in fact this is far from the case.

So what are the main differences from model 21126 and how much better this motor is in dynamics and traction characteristics, let's try to figure it out.

Advantages of the 21127 engine over previous modifications

1. Firstly, this power unit develops power up to 106 horsepower. Recall that before its appearance, the most powerful was considered to be 98 hp.
2. Secondly, the torque has been increased and now, even from low revs, this motor picks up quite well and there is no that sluggish acceleration that was before.
3. Fuel consumption, oddly enough, on the contrary, has decreased, even taking into account the increased power, so this is also a huge plus of this ICE.

Now it's worth talking a little about how all of the above characteristics were achieved, which are not so few.

As experts of Avtovaz assure, the increase in power and torque of the 21127th engine is associated with the use of a more modern and perfect fuel injection system. Now, under the decorative casing, you can see the installed receiver, which regulates the air supply depending on the engine speed.

The real owners of Kalina of the 2nd generation have already left quite a few positive reviews about this motor on the network and almost everyone noticed a noticeable increase in power, especially at low speeds. As written in the technical data of this unit, the fastest acceleration to 100 km / h on this engine, the new Kalina accelerates in 11,5 seconds, which is an excellent indicator for a domestic car.

The only thing that confuses many owners is the same old problem that arises when the timing belt breaks. In this case, you will have to put up with the expensive repair of the internal combustion engine, since not only the valves will bend, but most likely there will be damage to the pistons, as it was on the Priora.
