M177 M178

The Mercedes M176, M177 and M178 engines are designed clean sheet for boost by AMG.  The M177 and M178 are hand built with the M178 featuring dry sump lubrication.

The M177 has several power packages including the M177.1 featured in the C63, GLC63 and the twin-scroll M177.2 featured in the E63, GLE63, S63, and G63.

The M176 is a mercedes built version of the M177.1 that is used in non-amg applications where a powerful V8 is still needed.  These include the S580, GLE580, GLS 580, and G500, G550, G580.  Some of these models also feature “eq boost” hybridization.

Some of the main ways to increase power are to use bigger turbocharges, increase cooling, and perform ECU, TCU, and CPC coding.
