W114's by AMG

» Does anyone have any information or pictures of AMG built or raced cars?

» I found this information regarding what AMG did to the M110 engine:
»
» AMG started in 67\', and offered engine tuning beginning in the mid 70\'.
» The Daimler Benz "middleclass" Limousine of those days was the W 114/115
» called /8, the W 114 was the line with the more powerful engines.
» In 67\' Daimler Benz offered the W 114 with three old-fashioned carburettor
» engines, the inline six cylinder types M 180.954 {2.292 cm?}; M 114.920
» {2.496 cm?} and M 130.923 {2.778 cm?}.
» AMG especially offered engine tuning on the high end, means the M
» 100/116/117 {V 8 3 ½ - 6.8 Litre} engines.
» In Spring 1972 Daimler Benz started the production of the W 114.060/.062
» and C 114.042/.073 with the new M 110 2.746 cm? twin cam inline six
» cylinder engine.
»
» These new inline six cylinder engines, designed like older famous
» competition engines like Maserati, Jaguar, Osca and Alfa, have had enough
» potential to be tuned as well.
» AMG based their medium sector activity on those new twin cam 2.8 Litre
» engines and heavily modified the carburettor sohc M 130.
» They used the same two types of tuning for the M 110.921 and M 110.981
» engines, used Bosch D Jetronic indirect fuel injection on the M 110.921
» instead the Solex 4 A 1 carburettor originally mounted.
» The "first tuning stage" was to replace the cams by AMG cams and to modify
» the valve levers.
» The ignition point was changed.
» The power was increased to 195 hp @ 6.000 rpm.
» The "second tuning stage" reflected much more impact on the basic design.
» Using the "stage one tuning", the cylinder head was removed an the intake
» manifolds and exhaust passage extended and polished, valves and combustion
» chambers have been reworked.
» The exhaust manifold was replaced and the inlet pipe modified.
» Such engines reached 210 hp @ 6.300 rpm, the torque was increased to 250
» Nm @ 5.000 rpm.
» Later a "stage three tuning" was offered {in my opinion after the W 114
» has stopped and the W 123 was offered}, increasing the compression ratio,
» replacing the exhaust and inlet pipes, using larger valves and valve
» springs those engines reached >225 hp.
» The M 130.923 was tuned equal to the M 110 "stage three tuning".
» Carburettors have been replaced by the Bosch fuel injection.
» These single cam M 130 reached the power of the serial M 110.981 185 hp @
» 6.000 U/min.
» AMG offered suspension kits and used larger rims on those cars, it was
» essential to rework the suspension after engine tuning, but those kits
» have been sold independent from engine tuning. An the other hand the seats
» sometimes have been replaced by Recaros.

Also AMG hat natürlich auch schon die 114er E-Klasse getunt ...





... offizielle AMG-Rallyeinsätze mit einem 114er Coupé gab es
aber, soweit ich weiß, nicht, dass waren wenn dann wohl eher
Privatfahrer ...
