re: Supercharged M112 Engine
Ok My apologies, I'll try and keep everything in this thread and give everyone a summary. I wasn't sure if I should do multiple small posts or not.
I currently have a 2002 E320 Mercedes. It has the same drivetrain as the A/T Crossfire I believe and uses the same engine M112. I decided to be greedy and wanted more power! So I decided after some research that I wanted to supercharge my engine! I've only found one record of this by a user named Brabus in the MBWorld forums. I started collecting parts last year and finally started working on it during spring break! From what I've been working on so far I removed the old intake manifold requiring me to remove the air injection pump. I unplugged the MAP sensor and simply plugged it into the superchargers MAP sensor. I didn't have the SAI (secondary air) installed on the supercharger and remember hearing that people have deleted them so I decided to plug the holes. I have stock M112 fuel injectors and have the M112K Fuel rail installed and fitted. I'm using the stock M112 throttle body all I had to do was flip is and the bolt pattern was exactly the same. (I had to flip it because the original orientation hits up against the intake runners. I'm running the stock 6 rib serpentine belt and not using the SC Idler to get as much contact around the SC pulley as possible. This also lets me use the 6 Rib 114.5" belt which is more readily available then other sizes. I swapped the NA M112 idler from ribbed to flat and a little bit smaller diameter, so it doesn't have any interference problems with the water pump pulley. As for the SC Pulley I decided to go with a clutchless 78mm pulley special ordered from V-tech as I didn't really want to produce too much boost and feel it out first because if I recall correctly m112 has a 10.0 Compression Ratio and the M112k has a 9.0?. I also went clutchless so I didn't have to worry about the magnet and electronics of the SC. It's been relativly straight forward so far and I aslo removed the changeover valve. That's about all. I have a seperated cooling system with a simple pump, reservoir, and intercooler. Like I said I finally turned the key and it started and roughly idled. Should I find the SAI stuff and re-add it to the engine? (I've also glanced at some kleemann supercharging instructions and that's helped alot as well). For the intake I just used a bunch of silicon/ couplers because it's very easy to work with 3" piping with a 90*/45* and a cheap aftermarket filter. Also the first two times I did start it I happened to completely forget about the plug on the supercharger snout across from the brake pressure line, it is now plugged securely.
