How to install on UAZ V8 (engine)

The installation of the V8 engine on the UAZ is the best option for the domestic SUV. It is worth noting that with this motor the car becomes passable and stable. Later in the article, we'll talk about how the engine changes.

How to install on UAZ V8 (engine)

UAZ "Patriot", As well as other UAZs, requires additional "file processing" immediately after the acquisition. True, a large number of new car owners of the post-Soviet car are limited to a simple broach of all elements and the elimination of multiple "jambs" available in the factory assembly. But the most important problem of this machine is the lack of the most powerful diesel engine in the line of motors. And why change it? The turbocharged diesel Cummins in this case is considered an excellent option.

As soon as the iron curtain collapsed, and supported foreign cars began to arrive in our country, self-taught people appeared in Russia who wanted to install an imported engine for, in general, SUVs, or more precisely, UAZ V8. "Patriotism" at that time did not even smell, since the victims of many, sometimes stupid, attempts were various UAZs.

Their engine compartments were occupied by various engines, besides not foreign ones, but also from Soviet trucks and, of course, buses - UAZ with PAZ engine or engine from GAZ of the 66th model - it was natural.

Popular engines for UAZ

The most popular were (and are still considered) diesel engines from the Japanese manufacturer - Nissan, Isuzu, Toyota. And at the first Moscow automobile showrooms, a variety of private manufacturers showed samples with these engines.

After some time, the number of experiments developed into quality, created accurate, well-established examples of V8 engines "Dump" on UAZ-469, and the company created an updated brand of SUV. Comfortable and roomy "Patriot" equipped (except for domestic "gasoline") Italian turbocharged diesel Iveco. But it did not last long - the Italian engine was removed, equipping the car with a Russian diesel engine ZMZ-51432.

At us in the country on UAZ "Hunter" put the engine V8

The well-known domestic automotive blogger aGademeG showed in his video a special version of SUV "Hunter" with a V8 engine. It was commissioned by familiar automotive mechanics. In this machine installed an 8-cylinder engine from a Japanese manufacturer, which has a capacity of more than 300 liters. from.

Thanks to this engine, the Russian SUV can accelerate to 100 km / h in 7 seconds. These indicators gave him the opportunity to compete even with sports cars. During the creation of the sports version of the UAZ, "Hunter" took an old SUV, and the space of the engine was occupied by an 8-cylinder engine from the Toyota concern.

In the course of the improvement, automotive mechanics installed a revolving engine in UAZ to the maximum, thereby solving the problems with the clutch, gearbox and shock absorbers (since they could burst at high engine speeds). And yet all the obstacles are solved, and this car with a V8 engine went to the tests for St. Petersburg. It is worth noting that, together with the engine from Toyota in the improved "Hunter" combined automatic transmission, and the car itself became rear-wheel drive.

Installation instructions for ZMZ V8

Attempts to install V8 on UAZ are known. This seems to motorists quite acceptable. Since the motors From the helicopters of the 53rd or 66th or the ZAZ ZMZ 511/513 can be installed on the UAZ. Such engines are found in conservation and simply repaired. But there are some incomprehensible situations:

1. One of the main things is fuel consumption. There are many records about the fact that it is 10-12 liters on the road.
2. The next incomprehensible situation is heating. How to cool this car, at the moment there are not enough answers. Many motorists talk about the use of conventional copper cooling in UAZ.

двигателя V8 на УАЗ 469 ? What should I do to install the V8 engine on UAZ 469 ?

• Drill holes in the clutch cover.
• Remove the bells and drill holes in them in the UAZ V8.
• Then cut the thread under the studs.
• It is desirable to cut the front engine mounts and dock the engine from the gearbox.
• Before installing a new engine, remove the radiator and disassemble the old motor.

All motorists point out that after installing the ZMZ V8 on the UAZ, the motor works several times better than the standard one - it is more powerful, practical and several times more efficient.

What entails the installation of a VAZ "Patriot" engine V8

The well-known truck of the 53rd GAZ with the V8 engine (in the latter there are 8 cylinders) is also used at this time. This car with a fine engine, which is put on the UAZ "Patriot". Engine V8 from the 53rd GAZ, whose power is 115 horsepower, with a good Hm. And, to everything, it is perfectly placed instead of the usual unit of an off-road car.

To install on the UAZ "Patriot" V8, It is necessary to replace the exhaust system, the "distribution" and the gearbox. After the engine V8 appears, the power of the machine is felt, which is able to overcome not only impassability and various obstacles, but also snow cover. With the V8 unit from the 53rd GAZ, the car is also capable of speeding up the road. Available about the installation on UAZ V8 reviews, indicate that the machine is able to move almost anywhere.

True, with this engine (V8) UAZ "Patriot" is working somewhat louder, but in principle, it should be. In general, the engines of Russian production are known for their practicality and efficiency, and therefore, having put the described unit V8, you can generally forget about the standard UAZ engine, as to return the full-time installation is no longer necessary.

Advantages and disadvantages of the car after installation of V8 on UAZ

The engine installation has both positive and negative sides. We list them. Available advantages:

• The power along with the turns on the snow cover make it possible for the car to move much better.
• It works a hundred times more pleasant than the standard one, but there is no vibration.
• On the asphalt surface, the machine demonstrates great power.

There are some disadvantages:

• Resonators from the 52nd GAZ are not suitable, therefore it is necessary to put silencers.
• At high speeds, a loud sound.
• The bridge can touch the pallet. But this, of course, is not fatal, and after installing shock absorbers and generally ceases to be a problem.

In general, the responses of car owners who have replaced the engine, support the installation of UAZ V8.

Tuning options for this car

Tuning UAZ should start with a technical component - this will determine the passability of the car. You can buy a three-liter engine. The given unit perfectly copes with all duties, it does not need forcing. It is also desirable to equip the motor with iridium candles - they improve its performance. And for greater effect, you can waste cylinders. Be sure to pay attention to how the unit is fed, well, on the ventilation of the cylinders.

The fact is that the ventilation has a strong effect on the performance of the motor. To fix it, you should put the shnokel, which is displayed on the roof of the car, in case of overcoming the ford. In frequent cases, injection of a standard motor is made, after which the power reaches 130 liters. from.

Also it is necessary to alter the transmission - to establish a low main pair. This moment will increase its capabilities somewhat. In addition, it is worth making a body lifting by placing large wheels. As a result, after tuning UAZ with a V8 engine it will look just amazing.

Once again about the UAZ "Patriot"

It is worth noting that at the moment in the line of motors "Patriot" there is a gasoline atmospheric engine ZMZ 409.10, the volume of which is 2.7 liters, and the power reaches up to 135 horsepower. This is at 4,600 rpm. In this case, the peak torque is estimated at 217 Newtons per meter at 3,900 rpm. The same engine is installed on the UAZ "Hunter". On it, it is quite good, and for the heavy Patriot traction at low speed is definitely not enough.

The next option is diesel ZMZ 51432, the least traction here is somewhat better. On poor roads and snow cover Patriot with this diesel engine is somehow moving at the 1 st reduced speed, and if you put large wheels and a bunch of different elements, it practically loses the opportunity for normal off-road driving.

What should be done and what to stop

There is no comprehensive answer to this question. But it should be noted that in the Moscow region still found the answer - put in the engine compartment "Patriot" Chinese motor Cummins ISF 2.8 liters. It is a turbocharged diesel with a good 2.8 liter capacity (although not very powerful - only 120.6 hp at 3,200 rpm), but it has an excellent peak torque of 295 Nm, which is available, compared to the ZMZ diesel engine from 1 600-2 700 rpm.

The motor, perfectly coping with heavy "Sable", at which all wheel drive and asked to be installed on UAZ.

A good advantage of Cummins ISF 2.8 liter. It is also considered that it is quite common. In addition to "Sables" it is installed on gazicks and gazelles, and moreover it can be without an all-wheel drive. The advantage is also the inexpensive cost of the new engine, the availability of spare parts from domestic dealers and, of course, the possibility of making repairs.

The following: diesel engines from Japan, which are usual for the "dump" of UAZ, are aging, a large number of the simplest and non-slaughter engines from Japan have already been finished by motorists, and customs control does not allow the delivery of cars and engines.

The existing installation problems and their solutions

The biggest problem of mounting Cummins ISF 2.8 liter. On UAZ "Patriot" - very deep, in comparison with standard engines, the crankcase of this engine. During large suspension travels, Cummins beats the pallet on the bridge beam in front. In order to prevent this, the engine was put on high pillows. In general, the developers managed to install this motor practically without much difficulty.

Well, a few words in conclusion

The assembly of the "right" diesel unit is only part of this project. UAZ Patriot, as conceived by the developers, was obliged to become a comprehensive SUV, which is perfectly adapted to various operating conditions - from the road to the snow cover, as well as marshland. Without a good increase in the size of the wheels, this can not be handled, and so the suspension was modified to be able to fit the tires at thirty-five inches.

To do this, to the "lift" of the body, the suspension was also "honed", putting the Patriot rear axle with springs on the shock absorbers, and also changing the drum brakes from the rear to the disc.

Well, in the process it turned out a very good all-terrain vehicle-off-roader. As for the improvements, the craftsmen worked on the glory here, and as a result, we see quite comfortable in many parameters UAZ "Patriot", which is simply perfect.

What eventually turned out, you can learn from this article and see the photos.

Some motorists put the engine from Nissan. If, of course, finance is allowed, you can put on the UAZ "Patriot" and a more powerful engine. The power of this unit is about 150 horsepower - this fact is considered quite acceptable. This diesel engine, it is also put for installation with electronic control. But with manual control the power becomes less - only 135 liters. from.

After the change of the standard engine from Nissan, the domestic Patriot receives such features:

1. Capacity slightly increases. Now the Russian car is capable and itself to get out of any incident, and to pull out the same.
2. The fuel consumption becomes more frequent, owing to increase in capacity of the unit.
