m130 280 enine tuning blueprinting hp
« on: April 28, 2022, 12:37:19 »
I want to increase the Hp and torque of my m130 280 engine.

For example:

  • I want to blueprint the engine.
    Change exhaust.
    Chance the fuel injection pump to European. And give it a different setting
    Chance the porting of the cylinderhead
    Chance camshaft + rockers
    Bigger valves (new or stiffer springs)
    Other cylinders with coating
    Other ignition
    Higher compression
     etc etc

Who has experience with a m130? Are there people out there that has parts? Of course I can let someone make parts, but maybe there is someone out there that has these parts.

I port and polished a M130 head some years back. It seemed to make a noticeable difference at high RPMs.

There are quite a few things you can do. Most of it is through careful machining to bring your compression up to nominal amounts. I used a 230SL camshaft on my engine advanced to 13 degrees  BTDC on the intake lobe. I also used early 230SL header pipes and a number of other small tricks.
