The Mercedes-Benz M112 engine is a gasoline-fueled, 4-stroke, spark-ignition, internal-combustion automobile piston V6 engine family used in the 2000s. Introduced in 1996, it was the first V6 engine ever built by Mercedes. A short time later the related M113 V8 was introduced.

Contents

All are built in Bad Cannstatt, Germany, except the supercharged C 32 AMG and SLK 32 AMG, assembled in Affalterbach, Germany.

All M112 engines have silicon/aluminum (Alusil) engine blocks with a 90° vee angle. The aluminum SOHC cylinder heads have 3 valves per cylinder. All use sequential fuel injection with two spark plugs per cylinder. All have forged steel connecting rods, a one-piece cast camshaft, iron-coated aluminum pistons and a magnesium intake manifold. To deal with the vibration problems of a 90 degree V6, a balancer shaft was installed in the engine block between the cylinder banks. This essentially eliminated first and second order vibration problems (see engine balance). A dual-length Variable Length Intake Manifold is fitted to optimise engine flexibility.

The E32 Kompressor is a special version of the 3.2 L (3,199 cc), fitted with a helical Twin-screw type supercharger. The supercharger was developed in conjunction with IHI and features Teflon-coated rotors producing overall boost of 14.5 psi (1.00 bar) with the factory 74mm clutch-activated pulley. A water-to-air intercooler made by Garrett is fitted beneath the supercharger inside the V, with a 0.8L Heat-Exchanger mounted under the bumper run by an electric water pump. Output is 260 kW (354 PS; 349 bhp) ECE at 6,100 rpm with 450 N⋅m (332 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3,000-4,600 rpm. The compression ratio is 9.0:1. [1] [9]

Applications:

E37

The E37 is a 3.7 L (3,724 cc) version. It retains the stroke of the E32 but is bored to 97 mm (3.82 in). Output is 173 to 180 kW (235 to 245 PS; 232 to 241 bhp) ECE at 5,750 rpm with 344 N⋅m (254 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3,000-4,500 rpm. The compression ratio is 10.0:1. [1] [10]

The M137 was used briefly between 1998 and 2002 for the W220 S-Class and C215 CL-Class. The architecture is similar to M112 and M113 engines, and is designed to match the overall dimensions of a V8 unit with undersquare internal measurements. The crankcase was cast in a lightweight alloy with "Silitec" (silicon/aluminium) cylinder liners to save weight. The M137 is 80 kg lighter than its predecessor and features cylinder deactivation technology. Both displacement variants have 10:1 compression ratio.
