RB25 Coilpack Cover Measurements? / 3D Printing Project

Hey everybody,

Im looking to design and 3D print an RB25 Coilpack Cover. However when I when I purchased my engine years ago the previous owner had bought a custom cover with his personalized lazer cut text for it which he wanted to keep as a memento, and I didn't mind because I planned to eventually go with 26 covers which I now own but haven't installed since the engine will be in & out several times for fab. But now I'd like to have one just to keep out any contaminants, but I'd prefer to design and print my own instead because it will never be used in the running car, and it's a good excuse just to make something. Which is why I wanted to ask if anyone could please provide me with the covers measurements? I would need the Length, Width and Depth, the diameter of the holes, and the distance between each of the holes. Once I finish designing and printing the model I'll make the files available and free to anyone who may want them. Thanks.

I would have thought it's too hot there for almost all 3D printing plastics.

That's definitely true but for my purpose temperature wouldn't be an issue as I only intend to use the coil cover to prevent anything from getting into the spark plug valley/wells while the car sits or is trailered. But for anyone else's use case it would be handy as simple template to trace around and cut out of whichever material, or the 3D model it's self can serve as a base to work from to modify the design as seen fit and machine or either cast using by the printed part as sand mold.

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
