The Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant installed only 3 types of engines on the UAZ "Hunter" (315195) model: UMZ-4213, ZMZ-409 and ZMZ-5143. The first two are gasoline, injection, the last one is diesel. Of all three options, the UMZ-4213 is preferable, since it has the smoothest torque shelf, that is, good traction is available from low speeds, almost like a diesel engine. ZMZ-409 is also quite good, yielding only in the amount of torque, after all, the volume affects - 2.9 for UMP, versus 2.7.
Native diesel
But with the ZMZ-5143, not everything is so simple, angry reviews about this motor appear on the network every now and then, that it is unreliable, constantly breaks down and has a small resource. Indeed, for example, the cylinder head is not designed in the best way, the pistons are constantly overheating due to an ill-conceived cooling system, and all because the diesel ZMZ-5143 was not made from scratch, but is a deep modernization (alteration) from the gasoline ZMZ-406. But a spark engine cannot be “converted” into a diesel engine by definition, or rather, it can be, but with “jambs”.
According to many hunter owners, there are situations when the power of their standard motor is not enough. This is especially evident on the harsh off-road, when it makes no sense to accelerate too much, and it is impossible to drive slowly on the sly because of insufficient engine thrust. This is where the question arises - what kind of engine to put on the UAZ hunter? You can replace the engine, if you wish, with almost any of those that fit into the engine compartment of your car, and there are a lot of such options.
OM616
You can do it, but if you put a too powerful engine on the UAZ, then at a sharp start it can "break" the box, the transfer case, bridges or cardan. Agree, little pleasant. Therefore, it is necessary to choose such an option so that the engine is also reliable, and that there are a minimum of alterations. Ideally - so that everything except the motor itself remains the same. And there are already much fewer such engines in their mass, and the best of them are Japanese. The hunter is equipped with a Dymos gearbox from the factory.
In order to connect any other motor to the daimos, not from the gas-UAZ series, you will have to build an adapter plate for the crankshaft of this engine, a flywheel with an outer diameter for the UAZ crown and a starter, you still need to not forget about the clutch basket.
But, replacing an engine with an imported one does not mean only a Japanese one. An excellent example of this is the German OM616 diesel engine from Mercedes-Denz, a rather ancient, but at the same time reliable engine that does not require super professional skills for its assembly and disassembly. However, it is quite problematic to find such a motor in good condition today, and the technical characteristics are not particularly impressive: only 72 hp. at 4400 rpm and 138 Nm at 2400 rpm, the only good news is that the torque is available from the very bottom.
Surprisingly, the thrust feels good, provided the wheels are no more than 33 inches. The maximum speed will be somewhere around 110 km / h. It can be compared with the ZMZ-402, the consumption is in the region of 10 liters per "hundred", and this unit is not particularly picky about the quality of diesel fuel.
1KZ-TE
On the UAZ hunter, you can put a Japanese engine 1KZ-TE or 2L-T, in the case of the latter, under the front universal joint, you will have to grind a plate about 2 cm thick, and also move the main cooling radiator slightly forward. The 1KZ-TE is one of the best Japanese diesel engines, and soon after its release, it replaced the older 2LT engine. The three-liter 1KZ-TE has a cast-iron block in its composition, the maximum torque is available already from 2000 rpm, and the power is about 130-140 horsepower. It has 2 valves per cylinder, and the average consumption is around 7 liters!
Among the shortcomings, one can single out: the use of an electronic injection pump, which is undoubtedly a disadvantage in terms of reliability. When replacing such a high-pressure fuel pump, it will cost you a very substantial amount, therefore it is recommended to take an older variation of the 1KZ-T motor with a mechanical high-pressure fuel pump. A complex timing system together with flat pistons (without grooves under the valve) also does not add reliability to it, because if the belt breaks, the pistons will meet with the valves with a 99% probability, as a result - expensive repairs.
Nissan Qd-32 and Td 27
Here are a couple more Japanese engines from Nissan. The cost of these engines is about the same and amounts to about 80 thousand rubles, so it's up to you which one to install. The TD 27 is heavy and noisy, but that's because the cylinder block and head are cast iron, but the engine is very reliable. The power of the Qd-32 is much higher, so the Atlas box and razdatka are usually paired with it. Some people manage to put more 3L and even 5L engines from Toyota, but here they don't need UAZ bridges, they need bridges from Nissan Terrano. Qd-32 has many modifications, its power varies from 135 to 150 hp. and the torque is approximately 330-350 Nm. Just like the Td 27, it is completely cast iron.
Domestic G8
V-shaped 8-cylinder engines are also often installed on UAZs, but not from a foreign car, but domestic production. For example, the ZMZ-523 engine is a carburetor engine with a volume of 4.7 liters. It was also installed on GAZ trucks and PAZ buses. With a v8 engine, you simply won't recognize your car - it will be so enjoyable to drive.
If you decide to install one, be sure to stretch all the bolts and check the valve clearances. To "make friends" this engine with the gearbox will have to drill new holes in the clutch cover. For everything to work out exactly, take the old and new "bells" and estimate where the holes should be, and then tap the thread for the M12 stud.
Outcome
Before replacing the engine, you must obtain permission from the traffic police to re-equip the car, because in this case you will not have the same engine number and the one indicated in the TCP. In other words, you (if you do it yourself) or the tuning company must have all the necessary documents for a new engine that arrived from abroad (and not only). This is necessary so that in the future there will be no problems with vehicle registration.
Related replacement work:
- It will be necessary to change all the wiring, or a separate part of it.
- Alteration of the exhaust line, in the case of installing v8 - you will need to make a double exhaust.
- Installation of non-standard ECU and firmware.
- Alteration of engine mounts for a new unit.
- Docking a new engine with a gearbox that is not native to it.
This is the best option for a domestic SUV. It should be noted that with the given engine the car becomes passable and stable. Further in the article we will talk about exactly how the engine is changed.
How to install on UAZ V8 (engine)
UAZ "Patriot", like other UAZs, requires additional "file processing" immediately after purchase. True, a large number of new car owners of a 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 with this car is the lack of a powerful diesel engine in the line of engines. And what to change it to? A turbocharged Cummins diesel is considered an excellent option in this case.
As soon as the iron curtain collapsed, and supported foreign cars began to arrive in our country, self-taught people appeared in the Russian Federation who wanted to install an imported engine on, in general, off-road vehicles, or rather, on a UAZ V8. At that time there was not even a scent of "patriotism" at that time, since various UAZ vehicles were the victims of many, sometimes stupid, attempts.
Their engine compartments were occupied by various engines, moreover, not only foreign ones, but also from Soviet trucks and, of course, buses - UAZ with a PAZ engine or an engine from a GAZ 66 model - this was natural.
Popular motors for UAZ
The most popular were (and are still considered) diesel engines from a Japanese manufacturer - Nissan, Isuzu, Toyota. And at the first Moscow car showrooms, various private manufacturers showed samples with these motors.
After some time, the number of experiments grew into quality, they created accurate, well-established copies of the V8 engines "dump" on the UAZ-469, and the company created an updated brand of an SUV. The comfortable and roomy "Patriot" was equipped (except for the domestic "gasoline") with the Italian turbocharged diesel Iveco. But this did not last long - the Italian engine was removed and the car was equipped with a Russian diesel unit ZMZ-51432.
In our country, the UAZ "Hunter" is equipped with a V8 engine
The well-known domestic car blogger aGademeG showed in his video a special version of the UAZ Hunter SUV with a V8 engine. It was prepared by order of familiar automotive mechanics. An 8-cylinder engine from a Japanese manufacturer was installed in this car, which has a power of more than 300 hp. 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" they took an old SUV, and the space of the engine was occupied by an 8-cylinder engine from the concern "Toyota".
In the course of the improvement, automotive mechanics installed the revolving engine in the UAZ to the maximum, thereby solving problems with the clutch, gearbox and shock absorbers (since they could burst at high engine speeds). Nevertheless, all the obstacles have been resolved, and this car has left for tests near St. Petersburg. It is worth noting that along with the Toyota engine in the improved Hunter, an automatic transmission was combined, and the car itself became rear-wheel drive.
Installation instructions ZMZ V8
Attempts have been made to install a V8 on a UAZ vehicle, which seems quite acceptable to car owners. Since the motors from the 53rd or 66th gas engines or PAZ can be installed on the UAZ. Such engines are found in conservation and simply repaired. But there are some:
- One of the main ones is fuel consumption. There are many records about the fact that it is 10-12 liters on the road.
- The next incomprehensible situation is heating. How to cool this car, at the moment there are few answers. Many motorists talk about using conventional copper cooling in UAZ.
What you need to do to complete the installationv8 engine on UAZ 469?
- Drill holes in the clutch cover.
- Remove the bells and drill holes in them for the UAZ V8.
- Next, cut the threads for the studs.
- It is advisable to cut down the front engine mounts and dock the motor with the gearbox.
- Before installing a new engine, remove the radiator and dismantle the old engine.
All motorists point out that after installing the ZMZ V8 on the UAZ, the engine works several times better than the standard one - it is more powerful, more practical and several times faster.
What does the installation of a V8 engine on the UAZ "Patriot" entail?
The well-known 53rd GAZ truck with a V8 engine (the latter has 8 cylinders) is used at this time. This is a car with an excellent engine, which is also installed on the UAZ "Patriot". The V8 engine from the 53rd GAZ, the power of which is 115 horsepower, with a good Hm. And on top of that, it fits perfectly in place of the usual SUV unit.
To install a V8 on a UAZ "Patriot", it is necessary to replace the exhaust system, "razdatka" and gearbox. After the V8 engine appears, the power of the car is felt, which is able to overcome not only off-road and various obstacles, but also snow covers. With the V8 unit from the 53rd GAZ, the car is also capable of high-speed movement along the road. The reviews available about the installation on the UAZ V8 indicate that the car is capable of moving in almost any terrain.
True, with this engine (V8) UAZ "Patriot" works a little louder, but this, in principle, should be so. In general, Russian-made engines are known for their practicality and efficiency, and therefore, having installed the described V8 unit, you can completely forget about the standard UAZ engine, since there is no need to return the standard installation.
Advantages and disadvantages of the car after installing the V8 on the UAZ
Installing the engine has both positive and negative sides. We will list them. Available advantages:
- Power together with rpm on snow cover allows the car to move much better.
- It works a hundred times more pleasant than the standard one, while there is no vibration.
- On an asphalt surface, the machine shows great power.
There are also some downsides:
- Resonators from the 52nd GAZ are not suitable, so you should definitely install mufflers.
- Loud sound at high revs.
- The bridge could hit the pallet. But this, of course, is not fatal, and after installing the shock absorbers, it ceases to be a problem at all.
In general, the reviews of car owners who changed the engine advocate the installation of a V8 on the UAZ.
Tuning options for this car
Tuning UAZ needs to start with the technical component - the passability of the car will depend on this. A three-liter engine is available. This unit does an excellent job with all the duties, it does not need to be forced. It is also advisable to equip the motor with iridium plugs - they improve its performance. And for more effect, you can bore cylinders. Be sure to pay attention to how the unit is powered, and also to the ventilation of the cylinders.
The fact is that ventilation greatly affects the performance of the motor. To fix it, you should put a snorkel, which is displayed on the roof of the car, in case of overcoming a ford. In frequent cases, a standard motor is injected, after which the power reaches 130 liters. from.
You also need to redo the transmission - install a low main pair. This moment will slightly increase its capabilities. In addition, it is worth doing a body lift by placing large wheels. As a result, after tuning, the UAZ with a V8 engine will look just amazing.
Once again about UAZ "Patriot"
It is worth noting that at the moment in the line of Patriot engines there is a naturally aspirated gasoline engine ZMZ 409.10, the volume of which is 2.7 liters, and the power reaches 135 horsepower. This is at 4,600 rpm. 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 not bad at all, but for a heavy Patriot, there is definitely not enough traction at low revs.
The next option is the diesel with the lowest thrust is somewhat better here. On bad roads and snow cover, the Patriot with this diesel engine somehow moves at the 1st reduced speed, and if you put on large wheels and a bunch of different elements, it practically loses the ability to move normally off-road.
What needs to be done and where to stop
There is no comprehensive answer to this question. But it should be noted that in the Moscow region they still found the answer - they put the Chinese Cummins ISF 2.8 liter engine in the Patriot's engine compartment. This is a turbocharged diesel engine with a decent volume of 2.8 liters (though not very powerful - only 120.6 liters. From. 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.
A motor that copes well with the heavy "Sable", from which the four-wheel drive just asked to be installed on the UAZ.
A good advantage of the Cummins ISF 2.8 liters. it is believed that it is quite common. In addition to "Sobols", it is installed on gazelles and gazelles, and, moreover, it can be without all-wheel drive. An advantage is also considered the inexpensive cost of the new engine, the availability of spare parts from domestic dealers and, of course, the ability to make repairs.
The next thing: the diesel units from Japan, usual for "dumping" UAZs, are aging, a large number of the simplest and unkillable engines from Japan have already been killed by motorists, and customs control does not allow the import of cars and engines.
Existing installation problems and solutions
The biggest problem with installing the Cummins ISF 2.8L. on the UAZ "Patriot" - a very deep, in comparison with standard engines, the oil pan of this engine. During long travels, the Cummins suspension bumps the pallet against the front axle beam. In order to avoid this, the engine was placed on high pillows. In general, the developers managed to install this motor almost without much difficulty.
Well, a few words in conclusion
Assembling the “right” diesel unit is only part of this project. UAZ Patriot, as conceived by the developers, had to become an all-round SUV, which is perfectly adapted to various operating conditions - from the track to snow cover, as well as swampy terrain. Without a good increase in wheel size, this cannot be done, and therefore the suspension was modified to be able to fit tires at thirty-five inches.
To do this, the suspension was also "lifted" to the "lift" of the body, putting the rear Patriot axle from springs to shock absorbers, and also replacing the drum brakes at the rear with disc brakes.
Well, in the process, a very good all-terrain SUV turned out. As for the improvements, here the craftsmen have done a great job, and as a result we see a UAZ "Patriot" quite comfortable in many respects, which they have finished just perfectly well.
What happened in the end, you can find out from this article and see the photos.
Some motorists use a Nissan engine. If finances allow, of course, you can put a more powerful engine on the UAZ "Patriot". The power of this installation is about 150 horsepower - this fact is considered quite acceptable. This is a diesel engine and is also installed for electronically controlled installations. But with manual control, the power becomes less - only 135 hp. from.
After changing the standard engine from Nissan, the domestic Patriot gets the following features:
- The power increases slightly. Now the Russian car is capable of getting out of any incident on its own and pulling out the same.
- Fuel consumption becomes higher due to the increase in the power of the unit.
The UAZ Patriot SUV is a car for drivers who prefer to move not only on asphalt, but also on rough terrain. The engineers of the Ulyanovsk plant have created a real steel horse designed for off-road. Sitting in the cabin, you can feel absolutely comfortable, but over time you realize that something is missing. This is something about not only changing the look of the car, but also upgrading the engine. If chip tuning is a passive form of improving technical performance, then replacing an engine is an essential way to modernize a car. It is on the replacement of the internal combustion engine of the ZMZ-409 brand installed on the SUV that will be discussed today. Let's consider what types of engines of domestic and foreign production can be installed on the UAZ Patriot.
How can a foreign engine be installed on a domestically produced SUV to improve the technical performance of the Patriot? The first option is to install a motor from a Toyota Surf car. In addition, to install a new engine, you do not need to have engineering knowledge, for this you simply need to purchase a unit. There are some features for installing a Toyota Surf engine on a UAZ. Let's consider them briefly:
- The mountings of the standard motor must be moved a few centimeters forward and the angle of inclination must be changed. The angle of inclination is needed in order to accommodate vibration-free pillows.
- Before installing the engine, it is also necessary to remove the power steering bracket. It will rest against the timing, so problems may arise.
- The radiator remains standard. It does its job well. It will be able to provide cooling of a Japanese-made engine completely.
- The air filter is located on the left side of the engine compartment.
- It is also recommended to replace the exhaust system, that is, to use the Japanese version, which is more reliable.
After replacement, you can find the following improvements:
- Fuel consumption will be reduced.
- Problems with the transfer case and gearbox disappear.
- Dynamics improves.
Whose else can you install the engine on the UAZ Patriot? In addition to the Toyota engine, a domestic engine from the GAZ-53, better known as the V8, can be installed on the car.
V8 engine
The well-known GAZ-53 truck with a V8 engine, which means the presence of eight cylinders, is still used today. The car has an excellent engine that can be installed on the UAZ Patriot. The V8 engine from the GAZ-53 has a power of 115 hp. and considerable torque. In addition, this unit perfectly replaces the standard SUV engine.
To fulfill the dream of installing a V8 engine in your car, you need to replace the exhaust system, transfer case and gearbox. After installing the V8 engine, the power of an SUV is felt, which is ready to overcome difficult off-road and obstacles, and to pass through swamps, reservoirs and snowdrifts. With the V8 engine from the GAZ-53, the SUV is not afraid of high-speed traffic on the highway. Below is a video showing the UAZ Patriot with an installed V8 engine from GAZon-53.
After watching the video, you understand what an 8-cylinder engine from a Soviet mid-engine is. With the new V8 engine, Patras is much louder, which it should be. Domestic-made engines are famous for their endurance and efficiency, so by installing such a V8 engine, you can forever forget about the standard engine, since you will no longer want to return it.
The GAZon engine is more powerful than the standard one from the Patriot. But its main advantage is reliability, which cannot be said about modern motors.
Motor from Nissan
If there is a desire and finances, then you can install a more powerful engine on the UAZ Patriot than the GAZ-53. This is the Nissan Kid 32 engine from the Galagrin company. The power of such a unit is approximately 150 hp, which is more than necessary. What should be noted is that this unit from the Nissan Kid 32 is diesel. 150 h.p. also suitable for an electronically controlled machine. With manual control, the power is reduced to 135 horsepower.
Of course, no one says that the Nissan Kid 32 engine is installed new, you can put it on a contract basis. The reason is that the new units must comply with the Euro-4 environmental standard.
After replacing the standard engine with the Nissan Kid 32, the UAZ Patriot SUV is characterized by the following parameters:
- Increased power. Now the SUV can not only get out of any trouble, but also pull out its own kind.
- The consumption increases, which is justified by the increase in power.
To install the Nissan Kid 32 engine on the Patriot, the latter will require a suspension lift.
Cummins
In conclusion, I would like to note the advantages of the Cummins engine, which are also excellent for a new generation SUV. First of all, it should be noted that Cummins is solely engaged in the production of diesel engines, famous for their durability, economy and safety.
Cummins engines are installed in Gazelle cars. Cummins is suitable for those types of vehicles that are designed for off-road and asphalt conditions. Therefore, if you often operate your car on mixed types of roads, then it is Cummins that will be the best solution.
Summing up, it should be noted that today we have examined superficially the types of engines, both domestic and imported, that can be installed on your SUV. In many cases, of course, improvements are required, but still, replacement is done at home. Which motor to install: imported or domestic - it's up to you, the main thing is that the chosen option fully meets your needs.
You can check your MSC and reduce it if needed!
24.04.2017
Cargo model 3303 from the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant is one of a series of all-wheel drive utility vehicles, which also includes a van, a minibus, a medical car and a car-type model (Farmer).
The model, popularly nicknamed "Loaf", has been traveling across the Russian expanses for more than half a century, and under the hood it has evolved GAZ-21 engines. Some modifications of power units are now being installed on UAZ Hunter and Patriot.
Engine UMZ 417/4175/4178 2.45 l
The next step in improving the GAZ-21 engine was the UMZ 417 engine with a compression ratio increased to 7, a modified camshaft, new 47-mm intake valves, with old exhaust valves. Also, UMP 417 received a carburetor for two chambers and a new air filter. Later, these engines began to use a crankshaft without packing.
If we compare the UMP 417 with the ZMZ 402, then their differences will be cosmetic: there are no stiffening ribs on the 417s, the sleeves are softer, and the flywheel has a larger size, while the principle of the cooling system is inverted.
A different intake manifold and smaller exhaust valves affect engine power.
Engine malfunctions are completely similar to the disadvantages of the ZMZ 402, that is, there are extraneous noises and knocks, the need to adjust the valves every 10 thousand kilometers, overheating, etc.
Vibrations and jerks occur due to the curve of the design, resulting in uneven fuel delivery.
Experts consider the UMZ 417 engine obsolete, like other units from the GAZ-21 family, and they have no place under the hood of modern cars. one
Engine UMZ 421/4213/4215/4216/4218 2.9 l
The power unit UMZ 421 has become the most modern modification of the GAZ-21 engine and the logical development of the UMZ-217 model, but with a large volume, exhaust valves increased to 39 mm. In the newest versions of the UMP 421, an injection fuel supply system is already installed.
The UMZ 421 engine differs from the ZMZ 402 in thin dry liners, which increased the strength of the block, with cylinders by 100 mm in diameter, and fingers are displaced by 7 mm in the pistons. Instead of anachronistic packing, a rubber cuff and other small parts are used.
At the same time, on a global scale, the engine has not changed and in fact it is the same unit of the mid-50s, but in an improved form.
Due to the lack of hydraulic lifters, clearances will have to be adjusted every 10 thousand kilometers.
The disadvantages of UMP 421 include a curve design, which affects the occurrence of twitching, vibrations and other things.
Engine knocking is caused by unadjusted valves, connecting rod bearings or camshaft.
Overheating of the motor occurs due to a defect in the thermostat, pump or airlock in the cooling system.
The advantages of UMP 421 include high-torque, availability of spare parts and full maintainability. If you take care of the engine and do not overload it, then the resource will be at least 200 thousand kilometers.
Engine ZMZ 409.10 / 4091.10 / 4092.10 / 4094.10 2.7
The basis for the large-volume ZMZ-409 engine was the ZMZ-405, which uses a crankshaft with a stroke increased to 94 mm, the old connecting rods, modified pistons shifted by 4 mm. Otherwise, this is the same 405 with the same cylinder block height, thinner inter-cylinder bridges, and cooling slots. The torque has increased due to the performance increased by 7 "horses", and the latest engine modifications comply with the Euro-3 eco-standards.
The faults include jamming of the timing chain tensioner, but the valve does not bend.
A thermostat or a clogged radiator is to blame for engine overheating.
Thrust failures are the "handiwork" of the ignition coils, which must be replaced otherwise the engine will break down.
Knocks occur due to the hydraulic compensator, which requires replacement.
Plugs, connecting rod bushings and compression affect the engine tripping.

Report a bug Select it and press Ctrl + Enter Fully electric van version ID. Buzz is predicted by 2022. In the meantime, the conversation is about intermediate models of vans from Volkswagen.
First of all, we are talking about the T6 truck. It will be followed by the Volkswagen T7 van by 2021. It will be radically different from its predecessor. This applies not only to the appearance, but also to the technical characteristics.
The German concern says that driving performance, handling and, most importantly, carrying capacity will be improved. In addition, all European environmental standards will be met. On the market Volkswagen T7 will be presented with traditional gasoline and diesel engines. In addition, a hybrid version will appear. It can be seen as a transitional stage to electrical ID. Buzz. It is also worth noting that the VW T7 will feature autopilot elements. This is important for the car's handling. The T7 should be equally good for transporting people as well as for heavy cargo work. Even low-level car enthusiasts can notice the large amount of masking tape in the front of the car.
The purpose of its overlay is to hide the features of the redesigned hood, improved laser headlights, the design of which includes the graphics of LED daytime running lights. The grille appears to be slightly enlarged from the previous version, and the front bumper has also undergone a modification process that includes new versions of the air intakes and an updated lower grille.
The situation is approximately the same from behind. The changes made are not too significant, but the presence of camouflage indicates some changes in the appearance of the rear lights. In fact, camouflage covers almost the entire rear bumper, which could mean a complete redesign of the diffuser and overall layout. The appearance of the exhaust pipes has not changed compared to the current M5 trim level.

The power plant largely determines the key parameters of the car - dynamic, its cross-country ability and much more. Therefore, when choosing an engine for a new car model, the manufacturer faces many questions and problems. The Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant coped with this choice brilliantly, which largely determined the success of all modifications of UAZ vehicles.
Engine on UAZ: types, brands and manufacturers
The first UAZ cars (various modifications of the UAZ-469) were equipped with engines from the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant - for that time they were powerful (75 hp) and reliable engines that proved to be the best in the most difficult conditions. However, later, in parallel with the Ulyanovsk engines, power plants of the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant began to be installed on UAZs. And to this day, engines of both factories can be found equally often on Ulyanovsk SUVs.
What engines does each of the factories offer? There are a lot of models and modifications, and among them you can choose motors for solving a variety of tasks.
Engines of the Ulyanovsk Motor Plant (UMP)
The Ulyanovsk Motor Plant is located in Ulyanovsk, it is part of the GAZ Group and produces engines for light commercial vehicles, including UAZs.
For installation on various models of UAZ vehicles, carburetor and injection four-cylinder UMZ engines are used.
Carburetor:
UMZ-4178 (AI-92 82 hp);
- UMP-421 (AI-92 110 hp);
- UMP-4218 (AI-92, modifications 103 and 105 hp).
Injectors:
UMP-4213 (AI-92, modifications 110 and 115 hp, as well as modifications for power steering);
- UMP-4213 "Euro-3" (AI-92, 123 hp).
It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that all these engines are presented in two modifications - with lever and diaphragm clutch. Also, a number of engines have modifications for installing power steering.
UMZ carburetor engines are mainly used to replace out-of-production UAZ models (predecessors of UAZ "Hunter" and others). And more modern UMZ-4213 engines of various modifications are universal power plants that currently work in all new models of UAZ vehicles.
Engines of the Zavolzhsky Motor Plant (ZMZ)
Zavolzhsky Motor Plant (Zavolzhye city, Nizhny Novgorod region) offers a wide range of engines for UAZ, including engines of ecological class "Euro-3" (produced since 2008) and "Euro-4". The line includes both traditional carburetor and modern injection engines. All ZMZ engines are four-cylinder.
Carburetor:
ZMZ-402.10 (92 hp);
- ZMZ-402.17 (92 hp, modification for a tropical climate);
- ZMZ-4104 (96 hp).
Injection:
ZMZ-409 (143 hp);
- ZMZ-40904 (143 hp, "Euro-3");
- ZMZ-4091 ("Euro-2", "Euro-3");
The most widespread are various modifications of ZMZ-40904 engines, which are currently installed in UAZ "Hunter", "Patriot" and others. Engines ZMZ-4091 are mainly installed on UAZ-3741 ("Tablet"), UAZ-3303 and UAZ-2206 (minibus).
Also Zavolzhsky plant offers a line of modern diesel engines ZMZ-514 of ecological classes "Euro-3" and "Euro-4". These power plants are mainly installed on UAZ "Hunter" vehicles. These are the most modern and promising developments with excellent technical characteristics, reliability and a high resource.
Foreign engines
Recently (since 2008) UAZ "Hunter" cars equipped with an ANDORIA 4CTi90 diesel engine have been on sale. This power plant has shown itself from the best side, and now the demand for UAZs with it is quite high.
Diesel ANDORIA is produced in Poland and is supplied in two modifications corresponding to the Euro-2 and Euro-3 ecological classes. The motors are equipped with turbochargers and have a capacity of 86 to 102 hp.
Resource of engines for UAZ
One of the main characteristics of the engine that interests the car owner is its resource. In fact, it is not entirely correct to use the term "engine resource", since the engine life and mileage before failure or before the need for overhaul depends on many factors. In particular, low-quality fuels and, to an even greater extent, oils, the use of the car in difficult road conditions (off-road), the nature of driving, etc., reduce the engine resource.
Therefore, manufacturers set different warranty periods for motors. Now ZMZ and UMP give a guarantee for their engines from 12 to 36 months, or for mileage from 30 to 100 thousand kilometers.
However, in real conditions, most UAZ engines work longer. For example, with active operation on city and rural roads, the engine can be operated uninterruptedly for 2 years, or over 120 thousand kilometers can be covered. With more careful operation, the ZMZ and UMP motors can walk up to 300, and in other cases, up to 500 thousand kilometers without problems.
But with high mileage, it is necessary to overhaul the engine (since worn out parts simply cannot provide the necessary parameters), and in some cases, completely change the power unit. And with current engine prices for UAZ (from 63 to 208 thousand rubles), it is often much easier and cheaper to buy a new engine than to repair an old one.
