The 1.8L 16-valve engine isn't often installed in the Chevrolet Niva, and there's not much information about it even online, so I recommend watching our videos; maybe it'll be useful. Since there's so much information, we'll have to release several episodes. The Priora engine was completely disassembled, and we installed a crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons from Super Auto to increase the displacement from 1.6 to 1.8. We also fabricated a flywheel from a Chevrolet flywheel and an adapter plate, and balanced everything along with the pulley and pressure plate. The estimated power should be 123 hp. Now all that's left is to see what we've come up with.
We've been working with Niva and Chevrolet Nivas for a long time and know all their weak points. If anyone has any questions about repairing or maintaining these vehicles, please leave a comment. We know the answer and solution. We'll be recording videos for you on the most interesting topics and frequently asked questions.
This video was produced with the direct participation of the Niva Repair and Technical Center "RTC NIVA."
