Also have a look at this.
M120 V12 Kit Car finally runs.
And there is someone on out list that inserted the M120 into a R107 so do a search for that.
Something to think of on the MB V12 , it was quickly introduced to take a run at BMW and provide the smoothness that a V 12 offers so I wonder if development was cut short. I don't think that just going to an aftermarket FI system is going to cure all ills, but I do expect the stock MB system to be tuned more towards squishy luxury performance.
Frustratingly, the M104 that is the basis for the M120 seems to do pretty well thought is a bit soft below 2,500 RPM making it curious why the M120 is considered a RPM dog.
The Zonda engine is AMG tuned so there could be some hope.
At some point I'll get going on my R129 track day car project, I had dismissed the M120 due to weight an am going to stick with a 3.2 M104.
Is the early 2000's twin turbo MB V12 a M120 or something different? This might be a more direct route. |
i have seen a red 107 with a v12. pretty tight fit also
Mercedes started in 1986 with the development of the m120 v12
so the had 4 years.
the oem ECU is a to complex system that uses 2 ecu for each cylinder bench and a control unit only for the throttle body's
the oem ecu's are working as to 6 cilinder engine with everthing on it self
all the sensor are double like crank position cam position coolant sensor
4 knock sensor 2 for each bench.
the throttle body works with a master and a slave that is to expensive and to complex to use and to control
so a aftermarket ecu will be better in every way. i discussed this with some experts and i would not be a problem
the M120 is build in the S-class from 1991-1998
and up to 2001 in the 129 SL-class.
the biturbo engine came in 2003 i think it is a M275 5.5 v12 3v per cylinder
complete different engine
