Thread: Ashcroft hd cvs & axles or Allisport intercooler?

I have the intercooler, if yours is a 200/300tdi you will also need to budget for the injection pump tune or there will be very little difference if any, how ever once tuned to suit it is well worth it

Mine is a td5 with remapped ecu.

Mick,
for the type of 4wheeling you do. I'd go the axles and cv's

do you have an EGT, if you going over 700 too easily or doing a lot of highway towing then, yes the intercooler

I've just put Ashcroft HD axles, CVs, flanges & diff through my 130 and have not even contemplated an intercooler so I guess that's pretty representative of my opinion. I often go out alone in demanding terrain and I don't like getting stranded.

G'day Noogie,

I'm 100% with Going Bush and POD.

If your going 35s it's no use sitting in the bush for hours with a brand new intercooler waiting for a tow because your CV's are buggered.

Hope this helps, Good luck!

Hi Don
I've gotta get an egt gauge.
I don't tow as much as I used to and only do the occasional long hwy trip. I'm not clocking up big ks these days either.

Gotta say that I do get little paranoid about breaking something with the front locker on.

Yeah the cvs/axles do make more sense.
I don't really need the extra performance just the cooller egts.

Cheers
Mick

Once you've got a gauge, EGT's are easily controlled with your right foot, and are never an issue offroad in my experience (except maybe in sand).

Go with the axles/CV's

Go the Ashcroft gear.

Had my CV's, drive flanges and half shafts in for 4 years. Never had a problem and they make you feel much more confident when off roading.

I put the Allisport inter cooler in after the drive line up grade.

Just put Ashcroft's new HDP38 air locker in
