Just need a reference measurement for a potential alternative to the eaton to check bonnet clearance.

Also if possible, the intake manifold height from the valley to the SC mounting face.
I can answer that....

375mm Crank center to SC center.

76mm Manifold, SC mounting face to bottom of valley/manifold

Hope that's of use. Cheers.

Well if you're taking requests can you please measure from the front gearbox crossmember/body bolt to the front of the trans, I'm curious to know if our engines are in the same position

Cheers

cheers for that.

just working out if a whipple kit would fit in a vp as they have an intercooler plate.

There is only 30-40mm clearance with a stock engine so odds are very slim for this particular kit.

I have spare cut off wheels for the grinder, it will fit ! Seriously how about a group a scoop ? Barely noticeable and factory so all good ?

nope, stock is how it will look.

All good it will fit provided I have a custom adapter plate made and not use the IC plate as they are about 50-60mm thick

IC is not necessary at relatively mild boost on E85 with efficient whipple and also alloy heads. Their outlet temps are a lot lower than the crappy eaton.

The kit is made to be used on petrol so another reason to do without the IC.

I have a SC pulley removal tool. Only used once. ;) Bought on ebay over a year back.
