Did anyone ever get it? I saw this on the FAQ page.

What is the "mystery mod" I hear about?
The infamous mystery mod was first introduced by syncivic on acura-cl.com on 8/21/2001.
He did not say what the mod actually was, much to the dismay of the forum readers, but did leak the following information:
It is made by syncivic in Florida.

It will cost about $299

It gives about 10 hp.

It adds about 15 ft lbs of torque.

It can be added in addition to an Intake and headers

It can be installed in 5 minutes with no special tools.

It is NOT an ECU or software upgrade.

It should not affect your warranty.

It should have CARB approval when it comes out.

It will "Look trick"

At the SEMA show, it was revealed to be an upper intake manifold cover that increases the mass volume and resonance to create an increased intake charge.
Since then, the following was known:

It does fit under the stock hood, although they smashed a few hoods during prototype testing.

It's offical name is RES (short for Resonance Enhancement System), although it is still sometimes referred to as the MM (Mystery Mod)

It will be polished aluminum, although it may be in color if demand dictates.

There are 3 separate patents for the RES.

It makes no additional noise.

It does not affect fuel economy.

However, it is not yet availiable to be ordered.

It shows a picture of the mod Click here.

So, all in all, just wondering if anybody has it, and if they like it.

Thanks.

 

I think I asked this question a few months ago. No one ever answered me. Anyone have an answer??

 

Damn, Trey. You're a little post whore, aren't you?

 

Just forget about it. It will never happen. The guy who was trying to produce or make it, disappeared. A couple people have tried to contact him, but he wasn't interested in developing it anymore.

I believe it was a resonator of some sort that would bolt onto the intake manifold.

 

To me, it looked like a larger intake manifold resonator. Like he took off the stock one, and extended it.

 

The Flux Capacitor prototype is under there. But you have to torque down the falangees equally or it doesn't activate.

 

classic!

 

Oh shit. That could be bad. What about my Kanuder valve, and my fire wall gasket? Could those be effected?

 

saw something in R/T about a jab or a bogahtti that used resonance intake charge and it looked like it had RES...ill try to find the article ...it was in the last 2 months nov or dec

 

yes i saw this, but i think it failed for a reason

i cant see why anyone would pass up 10 whp/15 lbtq for 300$ + shipping + possible core charges...

 

i persoanlly think it failed because it couldnt be copy righted and once the first few would have received there's the jig so to speak would have been up...the guy who made RES is who built my engine

 

Any possible way you could get him to build a few more? I wouldn't mind being the test dummy.

 

 

We probably will never see too many more bolt on mods anymore since the CL got the axe. I think it would be nice to have some more manufacters explore how far the type S engine can go with just different bolt on applications. This is just wishful thinking though until they start building more cars with our same engine in them.

 

Scalbert (Steve) machined and prototyped the RES about a year ago... there was no gains in each case.

 

I'm not that bad, am I??
