Tuning Daewoo Nexia new body. Tuning Daewoo Nexia with photo

Nexia manufacturers came up with a good car, and the owners modified it:

• Installing the cabin filter. To prevent dust from getting onto the air conditioner evaporator, and then into the car interior, we recommend installing a cabin filter. This should be the first priority modification to the Nexia after purchase!
• Gophers on the windshield. Tired of all the water from your windshield getting onto the driver's side window when it rains? Install gophers! This seemingly insignificant device will help retain water and drain it down, as on all modern foreign cars.

FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, there is an index to the materials in THIS SECTION in the LEFT column - you will find all the necessary information!

• Fan-type windshield washer nozzles. Standard nozzles water the windshield unevenly, as a result of which the wiper blades often rub “dry.” Install fan nozzles that water the entire surface of the windshield; moreover, the water consumption of fan nozzles is an order of magnitude lower than standard ones.
• Trunk lid gas strut. Tired of the luggage compartment lid falling on your back? Install the gas struts on the trunk lid and forget about this problem forever!
• Reed switches for doors. During the winter season, the door switches freeze, as a result of which the car alarm stops responding to door openings! Nexia owners improved the design by installing reed switches (magnetic) door limit switches - there is nothing to freeze there, because works on the principle of a magnetic field.
• Water in the feet of the driver and passenger. Due to poor sealing of the interior mirror, water enters the door and then into the interior of the car, and after a while a damp smell appears. Recommends sealing this leak.

Refinement of the stove and heating system of the Nexia

• Eliminating air from the stove. If the Nexia stove begins to heat poorly and there is air in the stove radiator, then it is necessary to eliminate the cause of air getting into the expansion tank of the cooling system.
• Cold-heat damper seal. Often the damper that blocks the supply of cold air does not close completely, so the Nexia stove stops heating well. We recommend getting to the specified damper and sealing it - after this, cold air will not pass past the heater radiator.
• Setting the thermostat to 92 degrees. By replacing the standard thermostat of 87 degrees with 92 degrees, we will increase the temperature in the heating system, and accordingly it will be warmer in the Nexia’s interior.
• Leg blower - glass. On the Nexia, this airflow mode is not standard, but sometimes it is so necessary - so that your feet are warm and the windshield does not “tighten up”. This modification has already been completed by many Nexia owners.

Results of refinement and improvement of Nexia

As a result of the modifications made, the Nexia turns into a car of a higher class; it becomes more pleasant to drive, especially if everything is done with your own hands.

Baby Daewoo Nexia I recently celebrated my 20th birthday. It’s not in vain that they praise her! Especially for the reliability, clarity, and simplicity of the machine. Simplicity that gives maximum possibilities to car tuning lovers!

Tuning DaewooNexia usually concerns all aspects of the “life activity” of the automobile body. Improving the appearance of an international small car is the sacred duty of the domestic admirer of Nexia. Refinement of the engine, transmission and suspension is an urgent need. Increasing the comfort of using a car is more of an art than an engineering, and there is no limit to perfection.

Where to start the creative process? Of course, with engine modernization!

Engine tuning DaewooNexia

Complexity tuning the Daewoo Nexia engine consists in the difficulty of acquiring high-quality parts and assemblies for an old and, let’s be honest, weak engine. Among the masters of amateur tuning, it is believed that tuning a one and a half liter unit that produces (produced) as much as 75 horsepower in a new form... is pointless.

They say that the expected increase in power in any case will not exceed 30 horsepower. At the same time, there is a high risk of reducing the service life of all highly loaded machine components. Of course, you can cheat and buy a tuning kit for the piston group and gas distribution mechanism made in Germany. But, firstly, this is a rare product, and it is not easy to find. Secondly, it is cheaper to purchase, debug and install a new power unit of higher power. Only then the name DaewooNexia will sound truly proud, and in her movements the Korean beauty will become like a cheetah...

There is a rational meaning to such reasoning. According to professional motorists, as a motor tuning DaewooNexia It is really worth installing a mechanical supercharger of the fuel-air mixture (compressor). However, the issue of pressure produced by the compressor must be taken into account.

The fact is that even not very productive (but quite reliable) domestically produced superchargers are capable of supplying a combustible mixture to the cylinders under pressure significantly exceeding atmospheric pressure. For standard parts of the weak Nexia, such an increase could be fatal. As soon as you “overfeed” the engine a little, local overheating will occur, as a result of which the pistons, connecting rods, shafts and timing valves will not withstand.

So if you decide to start engine tuning DaewooNexia When installing a mechanical blower, limit the pressure increase to half an atmosphere.

Deep technical engine tuningDaewooNexia is carried out infrequently. To improve the power unit, the following work is being done:

• installation of a camshaft with high valve lift;
• boring of cylinders for increased size of pistons;
• grinding the intake manifold;
• installation of supercharger and controller;
• installation of a zero resistance air filter;
• installation of a direct-flow muffler and high-capacity exhaust manifold.

To remake the motor Daewoo Nexia you will need to purchase forged pistons, reinforced connecting rods, and a lightweight flywheel; reinforced and lightweight gas distribution mechanism. Brake pads with improved friction characteristics, as well as enhanced clutch, are also required.

Serious modernization of the standard engine DaewooNexia more suitable for street racers. However, car enthusiasts who want to improve the dynamics of their car can enjoy the benefits of technical creativity. The most important thing is that after remaking the engine, do not forget about flashing the ECU! Otherwise, the effect of retrofitting the motor unit will be insufficient.

Chip tuning Daewoo Nexia

Let's not blame the engineers of the Korean concern for their reluctance to create universal firmware for the motor. Squeezed by environmental standards and the fashion for low fuel consumption, they are forced to reduce the power ratings of their creations. Therefore the main goal chip tuningDaewooNexia is to increase engine power while maintaining moderate fuel consumption.

The expected effect depends not only on the qualifications of the technician, but also on the preferred operating mode of the engine, the depth of design changes made and the type of electronic control unit (ECU).

Chip tuning Daewoo Nexia can be considered successful if, after reconfiguring the electronics, the power of a standard naturally aspirated engine increases by 5-10%, and the increase in torque is 10-18%. According to experts, the power of an engine retrofitted with a supercharger can be increased by 20-25% after reconfiguring the electronics. In this case, the torque increases by 15-20%.

Such indicators are not the limit, however, “squeezing out” even greater percentages of growth inevitably entails a sharp decrease in resource.

Anyone who has driven more than one thousand kilometers in a Nexia knows that the main problems of the model are dull “thoughtfulness” during acceleration, noticeable “failures” when actively accelerating, and feverish twitching when changing gears during traffic jams.

According to users, the acceleration dynamics of a Korean car do not always correspond to the engine power declared by the manufacturer. As a result, attempts to actively drive DaewooNexia always end with the rapid emptying of the fuel tank.

Only with the help of engine tuning and chip tuning Daewoo Nexia it is possible to achieve simultaneous improvement of such opposing parameters as increased power and reduced fuel consumption. However, each car owner should choose the most suitable firmware version, focusing either on the efficiency of the engine or on increasing its dynamic output.

What does Nexia chip tuning consist of?

the main task chip tuningDaewooNexia- competent change of the standard program “sewn” into the electronic engine control unit. The control program database is a collection of correction and calibration values ​​for different operating modes of the power unit.

The ECU, receiving control signals from sensors, regulates the operation of the executive systems, “fitting” the motor into the framework specified by the designer. Tuning firmware DaewooNexia contains modified correction coefficients that change idle speed, injection timing, ignition timing, maximum speed and vehicle speed.

Fulfill chip tuning Daewoo Nexia on your own - an inexpensive pleasure, but risky. Equipment (programmer and software set) for reconfiguring an ECU is not cheap, so it is rarely purchased. You can rent a programmer for the occasion, but... incorrect handling of electronics will have a negative effect instead of the expected improvement.

It is no less risky to blindly trust the “first” workshop you come across, where they will tell you that they can chip Nexia engines. Only a careful study of the reviews of satisfied owners chip tuningDaewooNexia, can lead you to competent specialists.

We advise skeptics of the described procedure to take a ride on a chipped DaewooNexia. The difference in dynamics is felt from the first minutes of the trip. The retuned engine becomes not only more powerful, but also more flexible. It pulls confidently in all rev ranges and rarely (and most importantly, always reasonably) “asks” the driver to shift to a lower gear.

We collected data on the increase in engine dynamic characteristics of the three most common naturally-aspirated power units Daewoo Nexia and found out what the average cost of chip tuning is at this point in time. It turned out that a 1.4-liter engine after chipping reaches a power of 110 hp, and the procedure costs from 6,000 to 6,500 rubles. Modifications with a larger combustion chamber volume require higher costs: the issue price in the spring of 2015 reaches 8,500 rubles.

After installing new ECU firmware, it makes sense to dismantle the catalyst, which, even in good condition, takes at least 2% of the engine power. Before starting work, assess the condition of the device. If it is hopelessly clogged, which is typical for most used Nexias, then it is better to get rid of the part that has become an obstacle. Comparing the cost of a spacer equipped with flanges with the price of a new catalyst ($200), you will receive another argument in favor of simplifying the design of the exhaust tract.

Important. After chip tuning Daewoo Nexia It is necessary to refuel with fuel of at least Premium 95 grade.

Technical tuning of body and suspension

One of the most popular body modifications on Daewoo Nexia is the installation of front and rear frame amplifiers. The rear ones connect the wheel arches and the floor, increasing the durability of the body, preventing deformation and thereby reducing the risk of skidding. Manufacturers of these devices claim that after installing spacers, body rigidity increases by 20-25%. However, we did not find any references to bench test results confirming these figures.

Front (under-hood) amplifiers are a well-known phenomenon and have been tested many times on small and middle-class passenger cars. Elegant power elements allow you to restore damaged body geometry and prevent spontaneous changes in the wheel camber angle, practically without interfering with engine maintenance.

Suspension tuningDaewooNexia will not be complete unless the lower brace (stiffener) is installed. This passive safety attribute provides:

Preventing spontaneous divergence of the lower suspension arms;

Stabilization of wheel alignment;

Reducing the amplitude of body vibrations.

The tuning rod also increases the caster angle (the inclination of the wheel's turning axis). The last parameter improves the car's handling when entering and exiting turns, braking and accelerating.

The most interesting and useful option seems to be an alternative version of the lower strut for DaewooNexia, conveniently and simply adjustable “on site” using a threaded connection.

Note that the installation of the lower amplifier is simple. With one assistant you can install it in 20-30 minutes.

For fans of a sporty driving style, we recommend installing Daewoo Nexia a set of rigid springs shortened by 40 mm. This is the maximum that can be done without changing the standard shock absorbers to tuning ones.

In addition to improving handling by lowering the center of gravity, this modification has a positive effect on the appearance of the car.

Examples of catchy external body tuning Daewoo Nexia you will find on the page in the article about tuning the Lada Granta. Various aspects of anti-corrosion treatment of a machine are discussed in detail in the article on the page. Installing parking sensors is extremely useful. You will find materials on improving this type of rad on the page.

Do you need a car that would be very inexpensive to buy, would not break down, and would cost a penny to maintain? And so that at the same time it drives relatively dynamically and is quite comfortable for two people? “It doesn’t happen like that,” you say. "Happens!" – the hero of our today’s material is sure. However, there are a few “buts”: you will have to sacrifice pathos, the legendary status of the brand, high-quality Mexican jerboa leather in the cabin, iPhone support and a host of other fashionable gadgets and options that usually begin the description of almost any modern car.

Ilya was guided by approximately these considerations in 2009, when the time came to change his means of transportation. It’s worth noting that he already had experience in motorsport (professional karting, Legends, RSKG), so I wanted driving a city car not to cause nausea and despondency, but to delight with drive.

Of course, with such requests, further improvements to the selected vehicle were also expected, but with all this, the purchase budget was quite modest. As a result, after looking at several options, Ilya settled not on an elderly Japanese car like the Mark II, as is often the case, but... on a Daewoo Nexia.

Since I immediately planned to begin modifications, I bought a new Nexia in the simplest configuration. I had come across this brand and model more than once before, and had a full understanding of its capabilities and shortcomings. I chose a copy without power steering, air conditioning and other joys of automobile life. She doesn’t need this - nothing should take away from the already modest engine power (80 hp), and this will only affect reliability for the better (the Nexia’s air conditioning and power windows are known problem areas)

From the car dealership - straight to completion

First of all, the front seats went to the trash bin - their place was taken by civilian UNP Racer “buckets”. Moreover, for the passenger, the lower part of the “seat” was adjusted to make it convenient to get in and out of the car. Then came the turn of the suspension: Weitec springs (-40 mm), KYB AGX shock absorbers with adjustable stiffness, a larger-diameter front stabilizer and an upper strut were installed. Instead of standard wheels, they installed 15-inch VSMPO forged wheels with Yokohama AVS V 102 tires.

After that, it was the turn of the transmission. Instead of the standard gearbox, they introduced a box with a short main pair and other gear ratios - also from Nexia, only a different version. While looking for tuning options, Ilya even read somewhere that someone installed an Opel Calibra gearbox in a Daewoo, but the gear ratios were longer, so he didn’t see the point in this decision. But together with a different gearbox, a clutch of increased diameter was installed.

front discs and pads

Having finished with the transmission, we inspected the brakes, selected ATE discs and pads (standard discs were prevented from overheating) and slightly modified the main brake cylinder. Considering that after restyling the Nexia is equipped with more powerful calipers, they were not touched. At the moment, the driver is generally satisfied with the brakes, although there are already plans to increase the performance of the rear ones.

Now about the engine. On occasion, Ilya received a sports camshaft from OKB Dynamics SmartCAMS, which was immediately introduced into the engine along with a modified throttle and minor modifications to the cylinder head. The standard exhaust went to the trash heap after the seats - its place was taken by a system from MG-Race (spider, two resonators and a muffler), after which the engine was installed. The ECU remains standard, but it works with an individual program even after online configuration.

Not only fast, but also beautiful and convenient

The modifications made eventually led to the fact that we had to pay attention to the body, the rigidity of which, to put it mildly, raised questions. At the front, we simply installed a lower stiffener strut (without it, the strut cups would “walk around”). But at the back we had to do a little more difficult work...

semi-slick tires

TOYO R888 195/50/15

For normal operation, it was necessary to trim the inner edges of the rear wings and change the shape of the wheel arches. And all again because historically Daewoo Nexia is a deep modernization of the Daewoo Racer, a licensed copy of the Opel Kadett. Someone, while developing the Kadett, came up with the idea to make a very unique rear arch that covers part of the wheel and is made in such a way that it is very difficult to simply cut it out without damaging the body. And UzDaewoo continued the idea and made even tighter wheel arches. As a result, the rather narrow 195-mm tires on the new Nexia, during active driving, touched the inside of the wheel arch and the edge of the wing, forcing everything to be redone.

In addition to technical improvements, Ilya paid a little attention to the interior of the car. Instead of the uncomfortable steering wheel, I installed a Momo, and replaced the supposedly stock double-din Clarion with a regular JVC with Morel Tempo acoustics.

Personally, I find it very comfortable in the car. The conditions of the “working space” are such that I can easily drive a Daewoo Nexia over long distances, about 1,000 kilometers, and not get tired at all. As a result of all the alterations, the result was a car that fully suits my driving style. After the KZ-2 series karts (with engines up to 125 cm³ and six gears), you won’t be surprised at all by the incredible acceleration to “hundreds”, and I’m not chasing it. It is important to me that the car can drive and at the same time be stable in “combat” mode, that is, brake late and without horror, turn accurately and predictably on the verge of slipping where necessary, and accelerate normally. That’s why I made the suspension stiffer, introduced a “short” gearbox, installed Slik forged wheels with TOYO R888 semi-slick tires, and so on. I thought a lot about a limited slip differential, but ultimately abandoned the idea due to concerns about the life of the unit. Of course, in the city there are few places where I can use the potential of my Nexia, but I wanted to create just such a config

When Ilya ordered new rims, he wanted to make them bright, and he chose light green ones. At the same time, body defects such as a dent on the roof and traces of neighbors' parking were corrected for this purpose, the side mirrors were repainted to match the color of the wheels and light green stripes were made on the body. This, of course, immediately refreshed the car.

What is possible and what is needed

Yes, this Daewoo Nexia has little power - at best, about 120 hp. With. at 6,700 rpm, but this is compensated by other modifications. In principle, bringing the “herd” of forces to 190-200 is not difficult and not very expensive, but in the future this will require rebuilding the entire car in a circle in order to maintain balance. After all, you cannot strengthen one node without paying attention to other components.

In general, Ilya admits that it is not easy to make improvements to Nexia. The car is positioned as an excellent option for pensioners, summer residents and taxi drivers - accordingly, among the assortment of tuning stores, it is almost impossible to find anything interesting for it. There are simply no ready-made goods and there never will be. Any question that arises forces you to think creatively and dodge in every possible way - this is not JDM, where there are kilotons of tuning things and ready-made kits for almost any car. Some similarity between the model and the Opel Kadett helps a little, but not much: some parts may come from Opel, although this is rare. In this case, the installed springs and steering wheel were sold as parts for Opel.

The little Daewoo has become quite an adult. She is already a little over twenty years old. She is loved, praised and even admired. And deservedly so. Daewoo Nexia is a reliable, understandable, attractive girl. In short, a real oriental beauty. It is accessible for tuning and very good at it!

Tuning Daewoo Nexia in most cases, it affects all aspects of the “functioning” of automotive life. It is always a pleasure to work on the appearance of a mestizo beauty from the East. This is both a hobby and a duty of the Russian motorist, owner and admirer of Nexia. Tuning Daewoo Nexia with your own hands- this is an upgrade of the engine, and modification of the transmission coupled with the suspension, and many more interesting and creative moments. Creating additional comfort in this car is more likely to belong to the realm of art than to design delights and engineering perversions.

Well, let's get started. Where do we start? Of course, from the soul and from the heart, but what else with girls? The first is an engine upgrade.

Do-it-yourself Nexia tuning. Engine tuning.

The Daewoo Nexia engine is not simple, as it might seem at first glance, it has its own zest. The difficulty of working with it lies in the difficulty of purchasing high-quality parts and blocks for a slightly outdated and largely outdated engine. Among amateur mechanics and tuners, there is an opinion that it makes no sense to tune a one and a half liter engine in the new edition with as much as 75 horses.

Do-it-yourself Nexia tuning. Work details

They usually say this, well, the expected increase in power, even under ideal conditions, will not be more than 30 horsepower. There is a great danger of reducing the service life of highly loaded machine components. There is, of course, such a topic as to purchase a tuning kit for a piston group and gas distribution mechanism, made by German handicraftsmen. But it is difficult to get, it is rare in the market. It is much less expensive to buy, rebuild and install a new, more powerful engine. If this works out, then there will be no limit to the gratitude of the beautiful, four-wheeled, slanted girl. In her movements, the Korean enchantress will become like a panther.

Such profound conclusions have a certain and significant meaning, but from the point of view of professional mechanics, there is a reason to install a mechanical air-fuel mixture supercharger (compressor) as an effective engine tuning for the Daewoo Nexia.

Daewoo Nexia tuning with your own hands. Question about superchargers

It is necessary to take into account the well-known fact that even not very productive, but high-quality superchargers created at Russian enterprises can supply a combustible mixture into the cylinders with a pressure much higher than atmospheric. For standard blocks and elements of small Nexia, such forcing can become fatal. It may overheat and the pistons, shafts, connecting rods, and valves will simply be cut off.

Therefore, the advice is this: if the thought of installing a supercharger does occur to you, be sure to limit the pressure increase to half an atmosphere.

Rarely anyone decides to undertake a large-scale technical upgrade of the Nexia engine. In order to improve it, the following operations are performed:

• installation of a camshaft with long valve lift;
• boring cylinders for larger piston diameters;
• intake manifold treatment;
• installation of supercharger and controller;
• introduction of a zero-resistance air filter;
• installation of a direct-flow muffler and a high-capacity exhaust manifold.

To upgrade the Korean engine, you need forged pistons, reinforced connecting rods, and a lightweight flywheel; lightweight gas distribution mechanism, as well as brake pads with improved friction characteristics and enhanced clutch.

Serious reworking of the factory Daewoo Nexia engine is needed mostly by street racers. But average drivers often want and can renew with a big plus the dynamics of their “Oriental woman”, in every sense using the full benefits and achievements of technical progress and realizing ideal creative fantasies into the material world. The most important thing is to remember to reprogram the ECU after upgrading the engine! Otherwise, the effect of tuning the unit will become microscopic.

Do-it-yourself tuning of Daewoo Nexia. Chip tuning

It is possible, and perhaps even necessary, to try to blame Korean engineers for some careless attitude towards the creation of engine software. But we will not do this and will treat with understanding and sympathy their difficult, but at the same time very productive work for the benefit of the entire world community and especially those of its representatives who own Nexia DEU. Our Korean brothers work under strict environmental legislation, which stipulates the most stringent industrial standards for minimum fuel consumption, plus the artificially created fashion for cars of this class. For this reason, engineers are required to reduce the power ratings of their creations. From this understandable, but perhaps not entirely accepted, policy, the specificity of chip tuning for our “Korean girl” logically follows, which should be expressed in a real increase in engine power while maintaining low fuel consumption.

The expected result depends not only on the skill level of the mechanic, but also on the predicted parameters of the engine operating mode, the severity of the design modifications and the type of ECU chip block.

Chip tuning of Nexia can be considered successful if, after reflashing the “brains” of the car, the power of the standard engine increases by 10-12%, and the increase in torque speed will be in the range of 13-19%. According to experienced craftsmen, the power of an engine modified with a supercharger after modification of the electronic component can quite realistically be increased to a level of 25-28%. Torque will increase by 15-20%.

Despite all the external effectiveness of such an upgrade, you need to remember that free cheese only comes in mousetraps. After such experiments, the machine will become more powerful, but the wear of its mechanism will increase in direct proportion; everything has its own limit of strength and the assembly point can cause an irreversible and fatal failure.

Those who were behind the wheel of a Nexia or were in it as a passenger, in short, in any case, know its character and driving style, should understand that the main problems of this car are in its “slowness,” to put it mildly, in a certain detachment from material reality, in the feeling that a failure is about to happen, a puncture at a crucial moment of gaining speed. Like in sex, when it seems to you that your beloved will feel good and will fly up to the peak of the mountain of pleasure, and at the most crucial moment she stops and says “darling, I’m tired, my head hurts...”, gets up and goes to the kitchen to drink tea. So Nexia begins first with spontaneous convulsions, and then with a sharp decline in energy and speed.

According to experts, the acceleration dynamics of this machine do not always correspond to the engine power officially approved by the factory. As a consequence of this intellectual and technological collapse, all attempts to actively drive the “narrow-eyed girl” lead to an unreasonable and senseless emptying of the fuel tank.

Only chip tuning of the Nexia Daewoo can extremely qualitatively improve such opposite parameters as increased power and reduced fuel consumption. Here the main thing for the car owner is not to miss the choice of reprogramming option; you need exactly the version that is one hundred percent suitable. Here you need to put emphasis either on developing the economic mode of the engine, or on increasing the dynamics.

Nexia tuning salon

The Daewoo Nexia salon is not the worst example of an interior. From birth, one might say, it has a very decent radio, soft, mobile, easily reclining seats, and a well-functioning electric window drive. But for those craftsmen who want even greater comfort, there is a platform for expanding their vigorous activities. With all that, as has already been said, the seats in the car are quite good, they can be changed, the instrument panel definitely requires an upgrade, feel free to change the lighting both on the dashboard and throughout the cabin, cover the plastic panels with vinyl film. Well, then everything continues in the same spirit.
Think carefully about the color scheme of the interior. The color needs to be chosen in such a way that the interior is perceived as fashionable and stylish and that it is a pleasure for the owner of the car to be there.3.5 /5. From 2 votes.

Many car enthusiasts prefer not only domestic inexpensive cars, but also foreign cars - for example, the affordable and reliable Daewoo Nexia, the tuning of the interior and other elements of which can be done with your own hands. Many car owners begin changes from the exterior and end with the technical part, which allows not only to give the car an original appearance, but also to improve driving performance and dynamics.

Tuning the Nexia engine

The main problem associated with tuning the Daewoo Nexia engine is the difficulty in selecting high-quality spare parts for an outdated power unit. Many car owners are of the opinion that upgrading a 1.5-liter engine with a capacity of 75 horsepower is impractical and pointless. The main argument is the fact that the engine can be strengthened by a maximum of 30 additional horsepower, which is why it will lose service life.

The gas distribution mechanism and piston assembly can be replaced with an original German analogue. Despite the high quality of such parts, they are very expensive and quite difficult to find if you do not order directly from the manufacturer. It is much easier to purchase a new engine and tune it with modified power settings.

Tuning a Nexia often involves installing a compressor to pump the fuel-air mixture, which improves engine performance. Experts note that with such a change, it is necessary to correctly set the operating pressure, which should be a maximum of 0.5 atmospheres.

Other types of engine tuning

The Daewoo Nexia engine rarely undergoes more serious changes, since almost all of them require complex and time-consuming work. Accordingly, it is quite difficult to do tuning of this type of Nexia with your own hands. As a rule, the following procedures are carried out:

• replacing the original camshaft with a similar one, but with a higher valve opening;
• boring cylinders for pistons of a different diameter;
• improvement of the intake manifold and installation of forward flow;
• installation of a compressor equipped with a regulator;
• grinding of collectors.

A modernized engine requires the installation of reinforced connecting rods, an improved timing system and this also includes composite brake pads and a reinforced clutch. Such tuning of the Nexia is carried out mainly by those who are professional or semi-professional racing.

External tuning of "Nexia"

Most car owners begin tuning by changing the appearance of the car. Judging by numerous photos, tuning the Nexia necessarily involves the installation of spoilers, body kits, wheels, tinting and many other accessories. It’s possible to carry it out at home and on your own – all you need to do is acquire the necessary parts and a set of keys and screwdrivers.

With the help of such tuning of the Nexia, you can not only improve the appearance of the car, but also increase its aerodynamic characteristics. Often, car owners try to change the lighting elements of the car. Tuning Nexia headlights often involves replacing the standard ones with xenon counterparts and combining turn indicators and side lights. The rear lights are modified in the same way. Often, additional bumper washers are installed, and headlights are tinted using a special film.

Deflectors: what are they and what are they for?

Such Nexia tuning elements improve the appearance of the car without compromising its dynamic characteristics, but at the same time make the lines of its body more elegant and light. Install them on the hood and windows. Their practical benefit lies in protecting the interior from precipitation coming from slightly open windows and preventing the windows from fogging. The installed ones protect the car body from deformations and scratches caused by small stones flying out from under the wheels of vehicles driving ahead.

Tuning the Daewoo Nexia interior

The interior of the car can hardly be called attractive and original. Therefore, many car enthusiasts strive to tune the interior of the Nexia. The following elements are changed first:

• upholstery and seats;
• backlight;
• steering wheel.

Door cards, seats, and information block are covered with leather and other materials. The final result depends on the financial capabilities of the car owner and his preferences.

Tuning the dashboard quite often includes installing a standard multimedia system with an LCD screen. Various sensors and backlight brightness controls are mounted. The simplest and most budget-friendly option for interior tuning is replacing the dashboard lighting with any other color.

Other interior changes

Many drivers try to replace the seats in the Daewoo Nexia with seats with lateral support, which are more comfortable. Tuning in most cases depends on the financial capabilities and preferences of the vehicle owner.

Some car enthusiasts prefer to install armrests in the interior. It is very easy to purchase such an element, you can install it yourself, and it makes the trip more comfortable and convenient.

Chip tuning of the Daewoo Nexia engine

Engineers of the Korean automobile concern, based on environmental requirements and the need to reduce fuel consumption, are forced to reduce the power ratings of the engines of their cars. In this regard, the main goal of chip tuning of the Daewoo Nexia is to increase engine power while maintaining low fuel consumption.

The result depends on the operating mode of the power unit, the qualifications of the specialist and the complexity of the changes made to the electronic control unit and other engine systems.

Engine chip tuning is considered successful if, after retuning, the power of the power unit increases by 5-10% simultaneously with an increase in torque by 10-18%. If equipped with a supercharger, engine power can be increased by 20-25%, and torque by 15-20%.

The main problems of the Daewoo Nexia are difficulties during acceleration, failures during acceleration and twitching when changing gears. Car owners have repeatedly noted that the engine power declared by the manufacturer does not always correspond to the acceleration dynamics. This discrepancy is one of the reasons for the sharp increase in fuel consumption when trying to actively drive a car of a given make and model.

It is possible to simultaneously reduce fuel consumption and increase engine power only through correct chip tuning. Despite this, you need to choose the firmware either based on increasing its dynamic output, or based on efficiency.

What does chip tuning of the Nexia engine include?

The main goal of chip tuning of the Nexia power unit is to competently make changes to the standard program of the electronic engine control unit. The control program has its own database, which contains calibration and correction values ​​for certain motor operating modes.

The operation of executive systems is regulated by the ECU based on signals received from sensors. The firmware of the Daewoo Nexia engine contains modified coefficients that change the injection timing, idle speed, maximum speed, ignition timing and vehicle speed.

Carrying out engine chip tuning on your own is very risky. Special equipment for flashing is not cheap, so not everyone can afford to buy it. The programmer can be rented, but improper handling of the vehicle electronics can lead to the opposite result.

Experts often advise those who are skeptical about the idea of ​​chip tuning to take a ride in a chipped Daewoo Nexia. From the first minutes of the trip, you can feel the difference in the dynamics of the car: the engine with changed settings is not only more powerful, but also more elastic, and has a smoother ride. At all speed ranges it pulls confidently and rarely “asks” for a downshift.

The catalyst installed on a car engine, even in good condition, takes at least 2% of its power, so after installing new firmware it is recommended to dismantle it. Before starting the process, it is advised to check its performance: there is a high probability that it is completely clogged, which is typical for most used Daewoo Nexia cars.

An important feature is that after chip tuning the engine, the car is refueled only with Premium 95 gasoline, no lower.

Conclusion

The photo of the Nexia tuning allows us to judge that such a modernization of the car makes it possible not only to change its appearance, but also to improve its technical characteristics and make movement more comfortable. In most cases, car owners install the following elements:

• Spoilers.
• Original thresholds.
• Alloy or cast wheels.
• Bumpers.
• Updated lighting equipment.
• Radiator.

In the interior of the car, the steering wheel, dashboard, plastic, seats, and upholstery are redone. Most of the tuning can be done independently without large financial investments, however, some operations related to technical changes are carried out only by specialists in auto repair shops.
