Inside the M156 Engine

I expect that a lot of guys on these pages are familiar with these links but I wasn't and expect there are others out there who also haven't seen them.
If found them very informative and interesting.

I'm curious what the differences are with the different variations in horsepower? Did they change the camshafts, different cylinder heads? Just wondering what would account for the additional power from the same engine configuration.

The Tune. Mercedes limits the throttle opening on a normal C63. They open the throttle further on the P31. They also run more timing in the time.
On the face-lift cars, the P31 does have upgrade internals, but the power is from the time.

Very interesting considering that HPtuners now offers tuning for the C63's.


Makes me want a c63 now.

Once tuned, all versions make similar power.

My 507 with IPE headers is tuned with HPtuners.

No, injectors are in the intake manifold.
