Where to buy Alloy and Steam Pipe Mandrel Bends... Brisbane.


Recommended Posts

Hey just wondering if there were any other places other than ARE that sell manrel Bent Alloy. The stuff you use for cooler pipes. Have been hooking up a few intercoolers for mates of mine, and would like to fond a cheaper source for Alloy Mandrel Bends. ARE charge an arm and a leg.

Also Mandrell Bent Steam pipe. Looking to experement in making an exhaust manifold, but cant find where to get steam pipe from. Look at 1 inch diametre. or others deopending on application.

Thanks guys, get back to me.

Do i get some kind of commision? :lol:

There is a place called "hiway aluminum" that is in the industrial estate next to the M1 at nerang.

They sell mandrell bent aluminum pipe pritty cheap. Well they did when i bought my piping. :uh-huh:

I'll see if i can find you a number or something.

I spent about $120 and got 2m of pipe 4 90`bends and 1 180.

Edit: they may have changed there name but this address sounds about right "Prestige Aluminium

Unit 4/27 Brendan Drv Nerang QLD 4211

Ph: (07) 5596 5877 Stainless Steel Products & Equipment"

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
