Luke280turbo Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Curious as to whether anyone here has dimensions for the Intake Manifold flange on an L28ET or even better a STL or any cad file for one. I saw someone had one although the file was expired. This will be for testing with 3D printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted to use stock diameter runners, you'd want to move the centerline down. More/most ideal would be to undersize the hole, then bolt it to your head and match it. Hope that helps you out.

Gollum Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Side note, ballpark to get a basic flat sheet/bar stock in .5" thickness, cut from online vendors ranges from $190-260 for 6061-T6. If you find someone local who can water jet or laser cut .5" stock, you can likely bring your own aluminum and have it cut for a reasonable price.

Gollum Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 And because I was curious on what it'd cost to get the whole thing CNC'ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutantZ Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 That is actually a much better price than I was expecting. Is that just for the machining or machining+material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 That's machine+material on 3dhubs.com They do printing, CNC, and injection molding. That above price is a CNC job of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutantZ Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 That's pretty awesome. Now I just need the quality of my welds to match the quality of those parts. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzarano Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 message me i might be able to help you get one done if you need... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkelly Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) @Gollum Any idea what the demand for these is? I was trained on our CNC machine at work the other day and I'm really wanting to machine one for myself and weld my own manifold. I would consider cutting a few of these if people are interested.

Gollum Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 According to what I've seen Blake (1fastZ) say recently, you could likely make 10 and have them in stock for sale for about 5-10 years... That said, the recent intake group buy had a lot of buy in, buy also had a lot of angry customers. If you can provide a complete product for cheap there tends to be interest. But a DIY product or something more than a blue collar paycheck and it's going to sit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuD 91gt Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Pending price, I’d buy one. Intake manifold is on my project list. Edited April 6, 2019 by HuD 91gt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complete product would sell better, you're right. 3 hours ago, HuD 91gt said: Pending price, I’d buy one. Intake manifold is on my project list. Sounds good. I'll keep you in mind when I'm going forward with my manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzarano Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) i can make them out of steel, not aluminum, price would depend on thickness / demand but i can probably get a few made between 120-200 depending on thickness / finish. message me for details edit: for clarification, would be laser cut just the flat pattern Edited April 10, 2019 by nzarano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMK if you are going to cut some of these flanges. I am also looking to do a custom intake manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
