Zaporozhets is a truly legendary car. Over his entire period of existence, he managed to win the hearts of millions of motorists. But now, many drivers do not understand why to buy a ZAZ 968, all the more to do tuning of the Zaporozhets if you can buy a newer car. However, where else can you find a car that costs 1.5 thousand rubles? Moreover, a good tuning of the “Zaporozhets” will cost no more than 10 thousand rubles, which is negligible compared to foreign cars. Therefore, if an old ZAZ is idle in your garage, you have a great opportunity to turn the "old trough" into a real racing car.
Zaporozhets 968M: motor tuning
And it’s best to start with the engine. First of all, you need to increase its working volume. To achieve the desired result, you should replace the regular cylinder-piston group with larger diameter parts. You can take similar pistons with a VAZ “classic” and install it on a 1.2-liter ZAZ engine. Thus, you can add “Zaporozhets” at least 0.1 liters of working volume. When forcing the motor, it is advisable to fix the piston fingers. At the end, you can replace or adjust the carburetor. In the first case, a part with a VAZ 2108 is installed in place of the old one , in the second, the fuel jets change.
Forcing the motor. Method number 2
If the previous method can take you a lot of time and effort, then the next method is suitable just for those who do not want to spend extra time on tuning. To increase the power of "Zaporozhets", you can simply install a motor from BMW on it. Be sure that ZAZ will have enough horsepower. Together with the engine, the transmission should also be replaced, since the domestic gearbox is incompatible with the German engine. In time, this can take about a day or two, plus the search for the motor itself is still the same. However, the next step may take you much more time than the search and installation of the units. Registration is the most difficult stage in this work. To register all the changes and make them in the data sheet, you will have to spend a lot of time in the traffic police. And it’s not the fact that inspectors will agree to enter this data into the car’s passport. Therefore, here you need to calculate the additional costs of changing your Zaporozhets.
Tuning: interior photos
This photo is not much like the Spartan salon of ZAZ. Most likely, you will think that this is the interior of a foreign car. But this is really ZAZ 968th model. Of course, to make such a salon, you need to spend a lot of time and money. What is the most difficult: at ZAZ it is impossible to install a torpedo from another car. All details are done independently. However, the result, of course, will be stunning: every passenger will be delighted with a trip on such a car.
If you are not eager to develop a salon yourself, you can restore the former by replacing all parts with similar ones. Thus, after you perform the tuning tuning of Zaporozhets, your ZAZ will acquire a fresh, and most importantly, factory interior with minimal costs for materials and other elements. All you need is a few meters of casing, spray paint, a couple of plastic and metal parts and patience. Then such a tuning of the “Zaporozhets” will definitely not be left without attention.
