field report one:
not good news,apparently the first run wasnt to speck: and this casting process is the most important part ,as thousands will be run from one cast...well maybe hundreds....so...5 weeks more or less more waiting
this new part doug mentioned last time, will work with res to give additional gains...doug said the 6MT will be 280hp, and the gain is a result of similar work that he's doing on this new part
let the waiting continue...
also a picture of the part for the j30a

TypeR,
Ask Doug if the RES is going to have the same hp, as the ones that were dynoed.

well i think it would drive the cost down. if the original price was for the magnesium, then you'd think he'd pass the savings on to us.

One more thing - does this also mean a torque bump for 03 6MT CLS???

oh ya i was supposed to mention, on a completly different topic...anyone concidering..." the turning a cl/tl-P into a type S" just installing the S cam and not changing springs and retainers and perhaps a couple other parts can result in the need for an enitre new engine...i think doug said he had a valve break and fall into the engine ...end result wasnt good...

As always, thanks so much for the taking the time to get some fresh info, TypeR.
This new mod sounds great. Hopefully all goes well with Doug's casting issue's...
The quest for ~325 NA crank HP sounds more and more attainable...

Yes, and for the half the cost. He mentioned $150. Same gain... in the range of 15lb.ft 15 HP. I would ADD to the gains of RES.
That would be nice..... for $450 you can get 30 lbft. Add a CAI and Headers and here is you poor man SuperCharger. for less than $1,750 you can see a dyno with 250-260 wheel HP and hopefully, and wheel torque of 215-220 lbft.
The only problem is that it takes at least 6 months to get mod out of SynCivic.... Waiting feels bad....

Ok so we have the RES wich will be out in 5 weeks (maybe) 300
Then we have a new MM that doug is working on that will work WITH the RES and is the same way Acura got more HP on the 6spd and it will be 100
Well shit....BRING IT ON!!!!!

It's interesting that he switched over to aluminum for the RES. I wonder if that means that each part is going to be individually milled out instead of cast since milling is usually done with aluminum since it's soft. I wonder if this will have any effect on the performance and wear characteristics of the part.
Not to say anything bad about the progress of the piece, but we do a lot of in-house milling and with computer assisted drawing programs etc. there should be no reason why a competent machinist could not get this piece right the first time.
Hell, if I had the plans I could have our machinist mill one out for me in 2 days!

CARB -- syncivic said yes (when, I sure don't know)
RES -- Alteration of Plenum (air-chamber) size with some "tricks" makes for increase air-flow due to resonance (standing waves) caused by the reflected air pulses from each intake valve/port/runner. He designed a "chamber" that does a better job of increasing air-pressure and flow to those hungry cylinders (at ALL rpms).
