RCI Service tuning studio from Samara has released the first turbocharged LADA Vesta Sportline in Russia. The basic Sportline version is equipped with a VAZ-21129 naturally aspirated engine (118 hp), but after modification, the power increased to 160–180 hp, and the torque to 230–250 Nm.
The RCI Service turbo kit includes:
- A ready-made solution with a lower turbine location and an intercooler in the front bumper.
- No piston replacement – the factory cylinder block is used.
- Optimized setting for everyday use (fuel consumption is controlled by a standard lambda probe).
According to the company, acceleration to 100 km/h has been reduced from 11 to 7–8 seconds, and the maximum speed has increased to 220 km/h. For reliability, the clutch has been reinforced, the pump has been replaced, and the engine has been repackaged.
