Shame the whipple's don't fit under the standard hood of a Monaro/R8 frown

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it came out of a GTS-R: www.rapid-gb.co.uk/vehicle_details.php?vehicle=GTS-R

indeed, for some reason I interpretted GTSR to be a skyline getmecoat

Conventionally I belived there to be a problem with fitting a twin-screw charger under the hood. But it is a fairly modest sized one by the looks.

Wormus,Rapid was never involved with my GTSR when I owned it.Those pics are not the same engine.(Rapid site)Mine had a specially developed throttle body,(red in e bay pics)along with a lot more stuff.
A bonnet bulge is not required for the std:whipple but the Rapid Whipple is a far larger one I believe that would require a bulge.
Just my twopennath worth to clarify the details.

Ah, my mistake. Looked similar though. Mark has definitely done a 3.3 litre whipple as I've seen it. Don't remember a bonnet bulge though.
