Today, the GAZ 24 Volga car has a lot of advantages. Firstly, it is spacious and comfortable (at one time it was the best among representative cars of the USSR). Secondly, it is very simple to maintain. Thirdly, the availability of spare parts and their low price attracts Volga. However, at the same time, GAZ 24 also has disadvantages. Basically, they are in low dynamics and not very attractive interior. And in order to make this car a real muscle car, such as the legendary Ford Mustang in the 60s, car owners are perfecting the Volga by tuning. How to do it? Find out in our article.
Engine tuning
GAZ 24 was equipped with an old and low-power engine of Ulyanovsk production. Its power is clearly not enough to provide the car with normal acceleration dynamics and fast play. Therefore, to make it more high-torque, motorists have to go to various tricks. We immediately delete chip tuning from the methods of refinement, since in the 60s of the last century we did not even dream about any electronics and ECUs. There is a more real way, thanks to which you can force the GAZ 24 engine, - carburetor tuning.
So, for starters, we need to reduce the leverage of the system. To do this, deploy this mechanism 180 degrees. In this case, the throttle chamber I will become an intake valve. After that, you can pay attention to the nozzles. Regular mechanisms immediately change to more productive. You can also perform a number of locksmithing and increase the engine capacity. To do this, the cylinder head is bored . It is impossible to do it yourself, if only because this work requires special equipment, skills and knowledge. Therefore, before you make tuning on the GAZ 24, take care in advance of choosing a specialist who will make the block boring. Also do not forget about the piston group. It is best to replace the standard parts with forged parts. Such pistons are much lighter than standard ones, which contributes to a lower drag coefficient.
What will we get on the way out?
Thanks to these actions, it is possible to ensure that the Volga in 4th gear will reach a speed of 150 kilometers per hour. The dynamics will increase significantly, but fuel consumption will not (or only 5-10 percent).
GAZ 24: interior tuning
And now we turn to the interior. First of all, pay attention to the finish. It should be replaced with a new one. Here, in front of the car enthusiast, two ways, or rather, two tuning options, open up. The first is the restoration of the previous properties of the GAZ 24. The tuning will consist in the reconstruction of all elements of the skin, seats and plastic.
Thus, your salon will not be overloaded with unnecessary elements and modern "bells and whistles". The second way is to change the interior design to a more sporty one. Here you have to work on the elements of neon lights, on the replacement of seats, door cards and trim. Many fans of sports tuning are advised to install parts made "carbon fiber". You can also mount an on-board computer and change the steering wheel to a sportier one.
Improve your GAZ 24! DIY tuning is not only a fascinating, but also a very productive process.
