Braided oil/water lines for turbo

[charade_16v]

Hi all,
I was just wondering to all the turbo heads;
Where do you get your braided oil/water lines for your turbo?

I'm in Sydney BTW.
The only option I've thought of is to buy the fittings and braids from Motorsport Connections, and put them together myself.

Any help is always appreciated.
Cheers
Mark

I have a mate who works for Pirtek, he does all my stuff usually.

i would also suggest pirtek. mscn is the devil

[charade_16v]

"….is the debbil!" just had a Waterboy moment.

pirtek is the way to go yeah?
Bad experiences with MSCN?

[RT40Corona4AGTE]

if you know the lengths and sizes I can arrange to have them made up at cost if you like and then just send them to you? PM me if you need a hand and I will speak to my mate for ya.

[charade_16v]

Thanks for the offer RT, I'll see what i can source local and if I have a drama I'll get the measurements and PM ya.
Cheers,

Don't buy a kit (as i did) it will just end up being wrong and you'll need to mess with it anyway

MSCN sell good stuff and are mostly fairly helpful, provided you are reasonably clear on what you need - comes at a premium though

only problem with msc is the coin??? they are dear as. i've just gotten a fair bit from them.


just depends on the look you want it the bay and the $$$ you want to spend

after the first couple of visits to mscn you learn to pay by card and not look at the receipt

If you want expensive, go to Earls.
MSCN is awesome. I get all my line from there. If you need a hand making them, give me a shout and i'll help. I've just done all of mine and they look heaps better then Pirtek.

I've always used Motorsport Connections. Yeah they are not cheap, but they have everything you need and fast. I once paid for something first thing in the morning, and received it later that day. Not bad for interstate.

agreed. i paid $96 for 2 fittings there. ****s

[TheStitt]

I am also going to add, I've used earls in the past and wasn't happy with the fittings had afew troubles with a few sealing, they don't look as good and some of the bend radii are no where as tight as the speed flow stuff.

$96 for two fittings vito, try $78 for one 120deg -6 from motor sport the 120 deg are sooooooooo expensive

[trdee]

lol this was only a screw thread adaptor man, 22mm metric to -8AN. if it had some bends or summing i would be more understanding, but that price was just retarded.

ima make everything from PVC piping from now on

[Bazda]

For oil feeds I Always use The Teflon inner with stainless braid on the outside.
I get this stuff at a pretty reasonable price. After seeing the prices you guys are paying!!

ie for a 120deg -6 for the rubber with stainless braid I sell for $60NZD
Metric 22mm to -6 straight approx $30NZD

Most stuff I sell is Either XRP or Earls brand
