Intake manifold porsche inscription

[A80Avant]

im very interested if you can come up only with the letters,rather than a complete plaque,but if like that as well,and you can make it,then i would like one

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but I have shown the 'plaque' just for reference. The milling can be done on something the size of the plaque, or the actual manifold, as in my particular case.

I have attached a .jpg of the actual milled artwork and I can supply this as .dxf or .dwg if that is what you are after. PM me with your email and I will send it as I cannot attach these file types in this forum.

well what im after is that if that inscription can be made in thin aluminium or steel or any material of no more than 5mm thick that can then be welded on the inlet manifold.If it is easier to take a plaque and then encarve it then fine,but i dont like the whole thing to be thicker than 0.5 to 0.6cm (5-6mm)

Here is one that I laid out to machine my manifold. It could also be machined into an aluminum plate to be welded or bonded to the manifold. I also have a 'powered by Audi Sport' version with the audisport parallelogram logo, but I like the original...i can supply the cad files if anyone is interested. the 'powered by' font style is close to the original, but not exact. if anyone has a better font style match, let me know and i'll update the design. also, the corner radii are adjusted for .031 end mill in 'powered by' text and .125 end mill on 'porsche' logo...

cheers

This is exactly what i want also! in about 5mm alu or plastic plate. and maybe mill domwn the letters 1-1,5mm. Dane, anything you could do?? Aluminium is very soft to mill/lathe in.

You can cut it into whatever material you want and whatever thickness you are after. i would think aluminum to be the choice for multiple reasons. the original .jpg shows a milled depth of about .77 mm (.031") and a plate thickness of 3.18 mm (.125"). Again, you could make the cut depth whatever you want (up to about .05" in the small text) and the 'plaque' thickness somewhat thicker to allow welding or whatever you're planning to do. I would recommend milling the design directly onto the manifold. Then a bead blast or something to unify the texture. Or leave it if you're filling it with a contrasting color. Or leave it as is to provide a contrasting texture. If people are interested, I can provide the aluminum 'plaque' to be installed onto existing manifolds either with welding or high temp epoxy.

unfortunatelly the manifold is in greece and i dont anyone there that can do that...

Would it not be better to mill down the surrounding material so that the letters are raised? That way if you use an aluminium plate you can either polish, bead blast or paint the letters.

Well, i want a plate if you can make on!

[Wheeljack]

I will probably be making some test plates sometime during the next few weeks to see how I like things before I actually do the manifold about three weeks from now. I will post pics of the results, and if anyone wants a plate, I can likely send a few out.

yes please!!!
im in for it too

[fish]

Me too=) a plate that is.

[madpugger]

I would like one too

[Acidburn]

And me as well

[gavs20v]

me too please, wonder what this will look like on an aan fanifold?
Nice one

Will you do raised letters?

What is the likely cost and which design do you plan to 'test'?

I quite fancy one in aluminium with the word Audi in the Audi font. That way it will read Audi 20v turbo
