Just got my front facing plenum all bolted up, Having problems with either the throttle body or the cooler piping hitting the bonnet. Its an rb25det head with a modified standard plenum. Strapped onto an rb30.. Any one got any ideas. Do any of the engine mounts accross the range lower the motor at all? Otherwise can you space the bonnet at the rear a little.. Any ideas dont want to go pissing around too much.

ETM intake? i got one from him and it hit my bonnet, It was one of the very first ones and he gladly made a new one free of cost. You can lower the engine on one side with the nut/thread on the engine mounts.

Heres the first piping method its a bit close to the radiator hose.. Dont want that hot air now do you.. But its probably the lowest.. The 2nd is more prefered. Theres not a massive clearance issue you can close the bonnet but it sticks up say 5 or so mm on the drivers side. heres the 2nd Might have a look at engine mounts tomorrow see if they are sitting high at all. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
