Default Re: M112 and M112 AMG Engine Specs

DO a search for "Vortec install" that should answer all your questions, you can boost this engine to 5-6 psi without any ecu tuning. After that you need different pistons. the Split Second ecu is proven compatible with the motronic 2.8 software, that is if you want to do more tuning than 5-6 psi

I would suggest a C30-94 probably. In terms of what it would take to install, that is a very complex question. To give you an idea, we would charge between $20K and $25K to do a custom install, I’m sure that is not what you are looking for, but it gives you an idea of how much work it can be.

The first thing to think about is control strategy, more air means more fuel, probably less spark, ect. what plans do you have for making those things happen. We don’t have any experience with those cars, so you will need to find someone who does to help with that.

The major mechanical considerations are mounting the charger, developing the belt drive, air intake, pressure side air plus intercooler (recommended), by-pass system. Then you will need to look at PCV. Depending on what you need to do to complete the previous tasks, you may need to do other things. If you decide to move forward with the project, I can help you through all of the mechanical issues.

Don’t down play figuring out the controls strategy before even thinking about starting the project. You could end up fighting so many things it’s amazing.
