M102.910

Used in the W201 190E 1.8 from 1990 onwards, as well as the limited edition W201 180E model only sold in Australia from 1991 to 1993. Cubic capacity: 1797cc Power: 82kW Torque: 154Nm

Applications:

M102.920

The M102.920 was a 2.0 L (1997 cc) engine with an 89 mm bore and 80.25 mm stroke. Power output was 109 hp (81 kW).

Equipped w/ carburettor 175 CDT

Applications:

M102.921

Similar to M102.920, but less power output due to a different camshaft and different carburettor.

Applications:

M102.924

Similar to M102.922 DAIMLER-BENZ 124 WDB1240201A593276 1 OTTO 01 180 K077/5500 1977t carburettor, new single-belt drive for generator. Hydraulic aided valvedrive.

Application

M102.962

A later multi-point fuel-injected variation of the M102.921 that was introduced in 1987, with a power output of about 122 bhp. An "E" was added to the model of the vehicle (standing for "einspritzung", the German word for fuel injection).

Applications:

M102.963

2.0 litre version with KE-Jetronic fuel injection.

KE-Jetronic (1985-1993) : Electronically controlled mechanical fuel injection. The Engine Control Unit (ECU) may be either analog or digital, and the system may or may not have closed-loop lambda control. Commonly known as 'CIS-E' in the USA. The later KE3 (CIS-E III) variant features knock sensing capabilities.

Applications:

M102.980

The M102.980 was a 2.3 L (2299 cc) version with a 95.5 mm bore and the same 80.25 mm stroke. Power output was 136 hp (100 kW). Engine weight was 118 kg. Used K-jetronic fuel injection.

Applications:

M102.981

The M102.981 was a 2.3 L (2299 cc) version with a 95.5 mm bore and the same 80.25 mm stroke. Power output was 125 hp (92 kW).

Applications:

M102.982

The same prototype as the M102.981 version, except for the increased amount of horsepower and torque. Much resemblant to the M102.980 version, which was modified slightly with a newer jetronic system from BOSCH.

Applications:

M102.985

A later multi-point fuel-injected M102 with a displacement of 2.3 L. Used KE-jetronic fuel injection.

Applications:

Cosworth conversions

Cosworth developed an M102 2.3-litre variant with a 16-valve cylinder head for use in the 190E 2.3-16. The 2.5-litre engine in the later 190E 2.5-16 was based on this same engine.
