Recommendations for custom pipework

[Steve]

Hi all,

I want to replace my intercooler to plenum pipe, its a bit too thin and I think is causing problems, but either way, it definately wont hurt going to larger pipe, ie 3 inch.

So far I have been to a couple of places and been quoted 450 and 515 dollars, which is a bit more than I would like to spend if possible.

Can anyone recommend a place that does custom pipework, and is reasonably priced (hippy, you must have sused this out by now:D). I feel the quotes I have had so far a bit expensive - may be that I am just suffering from tight arse disease though:p

Cheers

Steve

[Bl4cK32]

[EnricoPalazzo]

Have you tried A.S.E at Edwardstown.Remember you get what you pay for,and anyone who has seen there work will agree its first class.

[Steve]

thanks enrico, I am seeing clint tomorrow, I shall check it out.

Bl4cK32 - shall do

PSI-VL, their work is first class, and I have checked them out. You do get what you pay for, but by the same token, most workshops these days charge around $60-$70 per hour - thats more than a doctor:) and really, its just a pipe:p

I think Mick at Tilbrooks do some too - they certainly do plenum fabrication etc, so I can't see why not.

Spot on there, STEVE.

$60-$70 per hr is steep i know, wish i was on that per hr!!

What area you from STEVE?

I'll get the name off a mate, who knows a guy out my way that does all fabrication work.Does excellent work and charges $30 per hour.He owns a yellow/gold TE or TG Gemini with a 350 in it, you might of seen it cruisin anzac a few times?

If interested, let me know.

[Steve]

Nightcrawler, thanks, they are similar priced - and I am in tightarse mode since it is redoing something that has already been done. Evan (PSI Fabrication) said a while back he could redo the pipework for me for around $150-200 (as I have spend $$$$ with him) - but he has fallen off the face of the planet!

PSI-VL, I live near tilbrooks(hampstead gardens), about 10 minute walk Yes please to your mates, mates name:) that would be great. 350 in a TE/TG? holy fark! Does that live queenstown way? Think I saw a TG down that way with a candy yellow paint job, looked very nice (for a gemi:p)

[Steve]

thanks PSI-VL, Mike, did they do stainless or Ali?

[Mike Cash]

Steve - either, i got stainless i think

[SR910]

$150 wouldnt even cover the cost of the stainless pipes...

[Steve]

SR910, which pipes? 3" mandrel bends only cost $25 each.
