peformance upgrade?

[Josh]

hello from England hope everyone is well and enjoying their 319er
so today I took my 319 on a 60 mile drive everything went well but wow its slow 50mph top speed and the engine was screaming.
I was thinking maybe I could run a low boost turbo setup? I would need to change the diesel fuel pump also I was thinking to change the rear axle ratio? so what I need to find out
1 will any other axles fit the l319 that has a taller ratio?
2 is there a diesel injection pump that is mechanical with turbo boost enrichment that will fit the om636?
thanks in advance

you can put an OM616 for more power, but for the rear ration i don't know ...

[Zigge]

Im also looking for a rear axle with better ratio...
Perhaps newer 608 etc have gears that fit?
Somebody must have done this before?

What I know and can read from the engine data is that we have a ratio of 1:5,857?
I also would like to change my ratio for a more comfortable way of driving instead this concrete mill ; -)
Always open for suggestions

Ich denke das die original verwendete motoren nicht geeignet sind fur eine starkere axle

Frage:Wo bekommt mann denn einen hinterachse von einen MB 508 und gibt es darin auch noch unterschied?
Ich hab einen in Belgien gefunden(bowie parts)aber es gibt doch mehr ?

I would really like to here about the best set-up for my o319 as well
In the states I could not find anyone knowledgeable or willing to help me tune my 0M636 .

I ended up putting a Toyota 20R engine with a 5 speed manual transmission in it. I now have twice the HP and the overdrive in the transmission allows me to get up to 65 on the freeway but I lost a lot of torque. It remains way under powered to move this
8,000 lb. vehicle.

Ich habe informiert beim 508 hinterachse aber der hat den selbsten uberbringung wie unsere namlich 41:1 ist ja auch 1:5,8
So kommt man nicht weiter,wer hat den uberhaupt diesen tausch gemacht von euch das frage ich mich ab
Hilfe!

The translation to english does not make a lot of sense. I also have a 5 speed manual transmition with overdrive so I can get up to 65 MPH on the freeway.
It is running very bad right now. I do not know what to do.

om616 72PS 5 speed gears (overdrive) and you can run 110 kilometers an hour. Will I did last time 114 ! on google maps..! I like the combo and in good condition you can make 100 kilometer with 10 liter diesel on the highway. It's still not very very powerfull. A friend of me runs a 319 with a om602 (no turbo) and 5 gears and a 508 axle. That runs really good, no loss of power while driving uphill. But a lot of work !!! and a lot to change!

Thank you for the great information. I do have a gas Mercedes M115/w115 with a 4 speed automatic but I am missing the intake and exhuast manifold and carberator. If installed I would have more HP but the gearing would be the same and not go any faster. I have thought of purchasing an aftermarket product called a "Gear Vedor," which is installed as part of the drive train and will increase the speed by only 10 MPH. $$$

at least you need a 5 speed overdrive! I also have mounted R16 6.50 tyres. WHich is just a little difference with the R16 6.00.
