Despite this, the UAZ Patriot produced at its facilities is radically different: the SUV turned out to be more “domesticated” and adapted to everyday life.
Characteristics of the UAZ "Patriot": fuel consumption, power, speed
After several modifications, the main components and assemblies of the car have not undergone any changes, remaining at the same level: the SUV is equipped with a four-cylinder gasoline power unit with a capacity of 128 horsepower and a volume of 2.7 liters. Fuel is supplied by injection type; the entire system is based on fuel injection directly into the cylinders and complies with Euro-2 standards.
Models are also available with a four-cylinder diesel engine with a capacity of 113 horsepower and a volume of 2.23 liters, with a fuel injection system. Somewhat earlier, UAZ was equipped with not only domestically produced engines, but also Italian ones, which had 116 horsepower and 2.3 liters of volume. However, such engines were not installed on Patriots of 2015 and later.
The car has a standard transmission - a five-speed manual gearbox. All-wheel drive, with the front one activated manually by the driver.
Fuel consumption
The happy owners of a brand new domestically produced crossover almost immediately after purchasing it are faced with a not very pleasant problem, which calls into question the feasibility and rationality of this purchase as a whole. The point is that the fuel consumption of the UAZ “Patriot” with a full tank exceeds all conceivable values and does not correspond to those declared by the manufacturer, while the fuel level indicator can show an almost complete lack of gasoline after a hundred or two kilometers.
Simple calculations made by the car owner indicate in this case that consumption exceeds 20 liters per 100 kilometers, after which frugality comes into play, which is why one can only regret that a model with a diesel engine was not taken. In fact, everything is not as bad as it seems at first glance. If you calculate the total amount of fuel spent over several thousand kilometers, then the real fuel consumption of the UAZ “Patriot” will be about 11-13 liters.
Reasons for non-compliance
Such a clear difference in performance is directly related to the design features of the car. The fuel consumption of the UAZ Patriot depends largely on the fact that it has two fuel tanks: the main one is used for refueling, and the auxiliary one is filled from the first using a built-in jet pump. It works very slowly, so the process of filling both containers takes at least 15-30 minutes. When starting to move, gasoline flows from the auxiliary tank into the main one; when stopping, everything happens in the reverse order.
Dashboard sensor readings
The fuel consumption of the UAZ Patriot may be incorrect due to another reason. Sensors installed in the tanks show a nonlinear change in fuel, since the tanks themselves are straight. The devices themselves are VAZ, they were created specifically for the Lada, the tanks of which are of a slightly different shape and narrow at the top, expanding at the bottom. Accordingly, in the upper part the level of gasoline in them changes several times slower.
In UAZ, on the contrary, the gasoline level drops linearly, and this happens several times faster. Accordingly, the sensors will not show the real fuel consumption of the UAZ Patriot. Gasoline, even if it is quickly wasted at the very beginning of the journey, will actually be stored.
Data corruption by on-board computer
The reason for this lies in the fact that initially the device itself is not subject to any calibration. The opening time of the injectors is sent to the ECU, and using this information it calculates the fuel consumption. Actually, this is the reason: depending on the model of the injection system, the performance of the injectors also changes. In order for the computer to provide real information, it must be calibrated. It will be most accurate with full tanks, however, it can also be done at idle.
The fuel consumption of the UAZ “Patriot” in this case is regulated as 1.5 liters/hour, while the computer gives a figure of 2.2 liters. The average is correct. Before starting measurements, it is advisable to connect a calibrated BC of a similar car model, while changing the mileage calibration.
Car tire pressure
Fuel consumption largely depends on the level of inflation of the wheels, especially the rear ones. It is advisable to regularly check the tire pressure: the front tires should be slightly less. In addition, consumption may increase due to working front axle hubs. At subzero ambient temperatures, the front axle gearbox is blown by a stream of cold air and rotates without much load, which will lead to the creation of additional resistance between unheated and unliquefied oil. To avoid such a problem, it is advisable to use only high-quality synthetic lubricant whose viscosity will not change at low temperatures.
In addition, you can save fuel when using your car regularly if you drive in high gears, constantly monitoring the number of revolutions. Care must be taken that they do not fall below the minimum mark of 1500 rpm.
What is the actual fuel consumption of the UAZ Patriot?
Considering all of the above, we can conclude that not everything is as sad as it seems at first glance. For the UAZ Patriot, fuel consumption (reviews from numerous owners of this car confirm this) is about 13.5 liters per hundred kilometers in the city. Most drivers note that when driving on the highway, consumption is about 10 liters per hundred kilometers. With increasing speed, it can increase to a maximum of 11.5 liters.
For the diesel version of the Patriot, when driving on a suburban highway, the consumption will be about 9.5 liters. In urban areas it changes to 12-13 liters. The turbodiesel engine will consume about 15 liters off-road. Consumption may increase, respectively, when using air conditioning, all-wheel drive, a heater, or with flat tires.
Despite all the advantages of the diesel Patriot, according to statistics, they buy it only 5% of the time. The main deterrent factors are the high cost, the inability to switch the car to gas, and the difficult maintenance of the engine. In addition, the high noise level and the almost complete lack of sound insulation are also repellent.
The UAZ Patriot SUV is a car for drivers who prefer to travel not only on asphalt, but also on rough terrain. Engineers at the Ulyanovsk plant created a real steel horse designed for off-road use. Sitting in the cabin you can feel absolutely comfortable, but over time you realize that something is missing. This something involves not only changing the appearance of the car, but also upgrading the engine. If chip tuning is a passive form of improving technical performance, then replacing the engine is a significant way to modernize a car. It is the replacement of the ZMZ-409 brand internal combustion engine installed on an SUV that will be discussed today. Let's consider what types of domestic and foreign-made engines can be installed on the UAZ Patriot.
What kind of foreign engine can 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 in a UAZ. Let's look at them briefly:
- The standard motor mounts need to be moved forward a few centimeters and the angle of inclination changed. The angle of inclination is needed in order to place pillows that eliminate vibrations.
- Before installing the engine, it is also necessary to remove the power steering bracket. It will rest against the timing belt, so problems may arise.
- The radiator remains stock. It does its job well. It can fully provide cooling for a Japanese-made engine.
- The air filter is located on the left side of the engine compartment.
- It is also recommended to replace the exhaust system, that is, 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 engine can be installed on a UAZ Patriot? In addition to the Toyota engine, you can also install a domestic engine from the GAZ-53, better known as V8, on the car.
V8 engine
The famous GAZ-53 truck with a V8 engine, which means it has 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 realize your 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, you can feel the power of the SUV, which is ready to overcome difficult off-road conditions and obstacles, and to pass through swamps, ponds and snowdrifts. With the V8 engine from the GAZ-53, the SUV is not afraid of high-speed driving on the highway. Below is a video showing a UAZ Patriot with a V8 engine from GAZon-53 installed.
After watching the video, you understand what an 8-cylinder engine from a Soviet mid-ton truck is. With the new V8 engine, the Patra is much louder, which is exactly how it should be. Domestic-made engines are famous for their endurance and efficiency, so by installing such a V8 engine, you can forget about the standard engine forever, since you will never 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 engines.
Motor from Nissan
If you have the desire and finances, then you can install a more powerful engine on the UAZ Patriot than the GAZ-53. This is a Nissan Kid 32 engine from the Galagrin company. The power of such a unit is approximately 150 hp, which is more than necessary. It should be noted that this unit from the Nissan Kid 32 is diesel. 150 hp also suitable for electronically controlled units. With manual control, power drops to 135 horsepower.
Of course, no one says that the Nissan Kid 32 engine is installed new; you can install a contract one. The reason is that new units must comply with the Euro 4 environmental standard.
After replacing the standard engine with a Nissan Kid 32, the UAZ Patriot SUV is characterized by the following parameters:
- Increased power. Now an SUV can not only get out of any trouble on its own, but also pull out its own kind.
- Consumption increases, which is justified by an 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 exclusively engaged in the production of diesel engines, famous for their durability, efficiency 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 drive your car on mixed types of roads, then Cummins will be the optimal solution.
To summarize, it should be noted that today we have looked superficially at the types of engines, both domestic and imported, that you can install on your SUV. In many cases, of course, modifications are required, but still, replacement is done at home. It’s up to you to decide which motor to install: imported or domestic, the main thing is that the chosen option fully satisfies your needs.
You can check your BMR and if you need to reduce it!
New UAZ Patriot engine 150 hp. will appear under the hood of an SUV in the near future. Another modernization of the well-known 409 engine made it possible to significantly increase power. Let us remind you that now the 2.7 liter 16 valve engine with a chain drive on the Patriot develops only 135 hp, a little earlier it produced 128 horsepower.
The next modernization of the 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine made it possible to squeeze out not only more power. But also to create a competitive modern unit. You can find out about the condition of the engine using the delphi ds150e diagnostic scanner connected via the OBD2 protocol connector. If for foreign cars this has long been the norm, then on domestic cars such an opportunity to check the technical condition of the car appeared relatively recently.
The manufacturer itself proudly states that actual power has increased to 160 horses, but this figure has been adjusted to 150 hp so that buyers do not have to pay increased road tax. Today we will tell you how we managed to increase power and what has changed in the well-known ZMZ 409, which is now called ZMZ PRO.
Changes in the new UAZ Patriot 150 hp engine.
- 1. Compression ratio increased from 9.1 to 9.8
- 2. Valve lift was increased by 0.5 mm due to new camshafts.
- 3. Changed valve timing.
- 4. We applied a new exhaust system geometry.
- 5. A new timing chain and piston group were used.
- 6. Raised the maximum power speed from 4600 to 5000 rpm.
Perhaps the most pleasant circumstance is not only an increase of 15 horses, but also an increase in torque from 217 Nm to 235 Nm. In addition, if on the old version of the UAZ Patriot 409-06 engine the maximum torque was available only from 3900 rpm, now this level has been reduced to 2600 rpm. That is, in order to drive normally with ZMZ PRO (409-051), you don’t have to turn the engine at maximum speed, and this will significantly reduce fuel consumption.
It is fuel consumption for the UAZ Patriot that is one of the significant disadvantages. By the way, it is logical to assume that increasing the compression ratio will require higher quality gasoline, but the developers of the new version of the 409 assure that AI-92 gasoline is also quite suitable.
Engine characteristics UAZ Patriot ZMZ PRO 150 hp
- Working volume – 2693 cm3
- Number of cylinders – 4
- Number of valves – 16
- Cylinder diameter – 95.5 mm
- Piston stroke – 94 mm
- Power hp – 149.6 at 5000 rpm
- Power kW – 110 at 5000 rpm
- Torque – 235 Nm at 2650 rpm
- Compression ratio – 9.8
- Timing drive - chain
- Fuel type - gasoline AI 92
Moreover, buyers are promised not only a new engine with increased power, but also another modification of this gas-powered power unit. It’s no secret that many Patriot owners in our country independently convert the power-hungry 2.7-liter engine to gas engine fuel. True, the power of this version will decrease to 143 hp. (227 Nm). An alternative to gasoline will be a propane-butane mixture.
Is it frustrating that your car hesitates when you press the gas pedal? Not enough engine? Overclocking is frustrating? Is there something holding the car by the rear? Does the car jerk when changing gears? Not enough driving comfort? Do you want to spend less?
There is an effective solution for you. This solution is not for racing! It is for those who want to feel confident behind the wheel and enjoy driving.
The car moves due to engine speed and torque. We make it so that increases torque increasing traction at low speeds. Due to this, for example, acceleration dynamics increases, thoughtfulness disappears or such an effect when the engine roars, but the car does not move. All the advantages are below.
Hello!
Tenth year I'm doing what mechanically I remove failures and stupidity from cars. Including on UAZ Patriot increasing power in the range from 1000 to 3000 engine speeds mechanically. You can see how the mechanical modification process occurs in the video.
First, the client tells how his car drives and why he decided to seek help. Then the process of mechanical refinement itself. And at the end, the first changes in the car that the client noticed.
* One-time service, for the entire life of the vehicle. No interference with the engine And electronics. No loss of warranty. We provide a guarantee for our service.
The result of our work is expressed as follows:
- less consumption for the same mileage
- the car is more powerful at low revs
- improved acceleration dynamics
- Dips disappear when accelerating
- the thoughtfulness of the gas pedal goes away
- the car follows the gas pedal
- the car's character changes
- maneuverability appears
- manage to overtake
- starts, overtaking, climbs become easy
- get confident acceleration and overtaking
- air conditioning does not affect speed
- the engine is quieter and more flexible
- great driving experience
A short video about the results using the example of the 2015 UAZ Patriot:
On one UAZ Patriot produced in 2015, consumption from 15-17 in the urban cycle dropped to 12 liters - this is 20-30% savings. If the wife drives, then the consumption on the device shows 10 liters per hundred.
Under license and based on western technology we are changing the physics of air flow.
* Changes in air characteristics cannot have a negative effect on the engine.. But it perfectly increases engine power at low and medium speeds and reduces fuel consumption. And all this without interfering with the engine and electronics (ECU).
You are now on the introductory page. A full-fledged website is located at www.as007.ru ( AutoSila007) * . Here, information is collected from the pages of the site into a single logical sequence, and will give you an idea of our offer.
Our technology allows for better mixing of gasoline and air vapors. Chip tuning cannot do this!
Drops of gasoline do not burn, but are thrown into the exhaust pipe. This is somewhere around 25-30% according to science. And this is 250-300 rubles. from every thousand spent on gasoline. Our modification increases compression and drops of gasoline turn into vapor. As a result, the fuel burns more completely. That's why our improvements are paying for themselves.
If you're frustrated by your fuel consumption or lacking power, we solve that problem: quickly, safely and affordably, without increasing your fuel consumption. Call us now!

Two humps are only good for a ship of the desert. But the SUV is not a camel; the double-humped torque curve for its engine is not the best option. That’s why I shuddered when my good friend Volodya Sharandin invited me to drive a Patriot on an ice track.
We've passed, we know! Should I drive when after the first surge the traction drops to three thousand rpm? Dubious pleasure. Even the next surge in the region of four thousand will not help. Yes, and high-speed exercises on the Ulyanovsk all-terrain vehicle seemed to me akin to off-road racing on a passenger car.
But Volodya knows how to persuade and, frankly speaking, never proposed stupid ideas. Moreover, he had not been to his homeland for fifteen years and during this time he became a great automotive engineer, supplementing his Russian education with American and European ones. Nowadays his strong point is civilized tuning in his own center. In general, I was intrigued: the UAZ in its execution should be extraordinary.
Gave traction
The door slammed and I was driving a Patriot. Everything is familiar, only the engine sounds unusual. Not louder, but the tonality has changed, and for the better. I like this song better than the previous one. How's it going?Here the torque is two hundred and seventy and the power is one hundred and eighty. Don't be shy, spin until the cutoff!
Sharandin is egging me on, but you don’t have to ask me for long. Gas to the floor! I have never driven a Patriot like this - it accelerates very quickly! It even became a little scary: you have to get used to the lively character, because the chassis and brakes are standard, but the agility is different. Pull in? And at the lower levels this Patriot is more convincing. It drives smoothly, without any glitches. Especially after 1800 rpm.
A surprise awaits me on the track - a standard Patriot. Volodya provided this “grand piano in the bushes” so that I could change from car to car - for comparison. Well, go ahead!First a small motocross piece. You can't speed up here: continuous hills with steep descents and ascents. The serial Patriot took on all the hills - some in first gear, some in second. But in a car with a modified engine, you can drive differently: after a couple of climbs, I stop shifting - I have enough traction, I go through the entire obstacle course in second gear.
The highlight of the program is the autocross track. Road turns and appendices, ice mixed with snow porridge. The serial Patriot, despite its weight and overall height, handles well on slippery roads. Of course, you have to actively. I twist it at large angles - tea, the mechanism is not rack and pinion. In areas with loose snow, in order not to lose speed, I switch from third gear to second. I switch frequently, but overall it’s tolerable. To be honest, after this “race” I changed my opinion about Patriot for the better, but I didn’t get much pleasure from it. Still, the serial UAZ is not for demolition and skidding; storming corners like a fan is not its element.
Now it’s a 182-horsepower car. Truly, there is never too much power and torque! The chassis is the same, but the ride is more pleasant and, most importantly, safer. Almost the entire route was in third gear, I only shifted in a couple of places. Now I understand why Sharandin invited him: this Patriot is already controlled by gas - and you enjoy the process. Instead of oiling the steering wheel, you can actively use traction - the engine, one might say, pulls the Patriot out of the drift.
It arrived in our regiment
At the base where Volodya modifies the cars, homemade preparations are already stored.Look, they managed to smooth out the humps, and not just increase the torque!
Sharandin posts a printout of the external speed characteristics of the motor, taken on the MAHA roller stand. Indeed, there is an almost flat shelf of 260–270 Nm in the range of 1800–4800 rpm. And the power is much higher: 182 hp. at 5200 rpm. The serial engine produces 134 hp, and a maximum of 217 Newton meters - those same humps at 2500 and 4000 rpm. The most curious thing is that such results were achieved without opening the engine and, accordingly, without installing new shafts, pistons, and connecting rods. Only the intake and .
Forward flow? Who would be surprised by this! Everything is much more interesting than the primitive fight against backpressure - here the intake and exhaust are coordinated.
The shelf leveling technology is as follows. First, a 3D scan of the engine compartment and underbody of the car. This allows you to evaluate the space in which new parts will be placed. Then comes the calculation and design of the hardware.
The task is to boost the engine by improving the filling of the cylinders. To do this, they work with air flows at the inlet and outlet and coordinate wave processes in the engine.Then an exhaust manifold with pipes of equal length is made. The “spider” of the 4-2-1 scheme fit into the UAZ (variant 4-1 cannot be placed in the engine compartment). That is, the pipes first merge in pairs, and then turn into a single pipe. Next comes a modified resonator and muffler. Everything is made of stainless steel.
And also a non-standard intake. A low-resistance filter is installed in a cold zone where the air density is higher. Behind it are a diffuser and an intake pipe. Their diameters, roundings, dimensions are the result of calculations and experiments. After all, air flow does not like sudden changes in direction, sharp contractions and expansions.
After installing the components on the car, the fine-tuning procedure begins on the MAHA roller stand. The characteristics are taken from the wheels, and the electronics draw power and torque curves. In the original version, telescopic pipes are used - by changing their length, the developer adjusts the characteristics. Volodya, although he is a former racing driver, prefers to rely not on high speeds, but on torque - such engines are much more convenient in everyday use. The Patriot is a completely special case: improvements should not affect its all-terrain qualities. Losing traction at low speeds means ruining it.
If you can get a significant additive thanks to “inhalation and exhalation,” that is, inlet and outlet, why doesn’t the plant do this?
The features of mass production do not imply individual selection of engine characteristics and work using “golden” technologies. The average setting option rules the roost there. “Eternal” stainless steel exhaust, playing with telescopic manifold pipes, abandoning the filter box in favor of a low-resistance filter - this is the lot of small tuning companies. And they kill several birds with one stone.Moderate forcing does not affect. In this regard, working with a hitch is much less risky than disassembling the engine and replacing expensive parts. And, what’s very nice, the price is not exorbitant. A modified intake-exhaust system costs about 50 thousand rubles - including installation and configuration.
