To start with, the first casting had some "migration" problems and would not fit (too tight) the IMRC Butterfly flange consistently. This would result in many of you opting to use a hammer to get the bolted flange to seat on the manifold..a NO NO!!!

The fix is an insert in this area of the casting that is carried by the mold prior to the pour....this is less expensive than additional CNC time to measure/cut this area of the casting. This part has been poured and is awaiting my inspection (12/1) and if all is well, a batch production run will start....which means parts soon (but colors will add to the time)

The field test parts sent to some of you via Tim will not be in color to expedite the eval process. Once Tim and I have the warm and fuzzy that the part performs as stated and the quality is #1, then the release of a bulk order to ACP will happen immediately !!

Hope this helps.

I've been dealing with some other new gadgets to pass the time and a Dyno will be posting soon, I think you will like this one. It's half the cost and has delivered similar power as RES on the J32A2.
Thats all for now.

Syn

 

will it work with res to give even more power????this new thing coming...that will ultimatly cause me to kill myself from the anxiety...hey Jrock i need a paxil too...

 

Good to hear that from you syncivic, as long as the RES is in top notch quality we could wait right guys . So another mystery mod half the price same power as RES oh this is just getting better

 

Thanks for the update, I'll take on whenever you can sell me one. Also It's great to hear that yet another mod might be on it's way. Keep up that great work, I am sure that there are many like me who will want to reward you for your investment in our engines.

 

Thanks for the update! Will the RES be availble for J30A1 as well? Another Mystery Mod?

 

BTW doug isnt this res a direct bolt on to the MDX as well???

 

the RES subject has gotten so many post that I may have missed it, but what about it affecting our warranty?

 

Sounds like fun..... can't wait to check one out

 

Thanks for the update. Good to hear you have something in the pipeline as well.

 

Oh man. ANOTHER mystery mod. *gets doctor to prescribe that drug thing*

So another mod, that's even cheaper that offers RES gains in performance?

What is the overall gain if you have RES and this NEW mystery mod?

$300 + $150 = $450. What kinda performance do I get for both ($450)?

 

my neck!!! my back!!!!!

 

Thanks, Doug. I kept the faith.

Jim

 

My neck-and-my-back!!!

Appreciate the update

As Frazier would say, "oh good lord"

I just saw this post and can only imagine the Anxiety amongst the membership. Everyone: Take a Valium Chill till Christmas.

 

Are we going to have a PS2, Xbox, gamecube thing going on here? Who puts the RES on ebay first and how much do they charge????????????

 

Doug, thank you for the updates. Sounds like you're working hard for us CL owners and I'm sure that is appreciated by all here on the forum. And a big thanks to Tim at ACP for all of his care and help to us! It's beginning to feel alot like Christmas! HeHe!

 

And Hanukkah!!

 

Thanks Doug. We do have patience, especially when it comes to Quality issues. Please keep us posted.

 

please please please oh please let us accord v6'ers know about the RES for our J30 part!!!

if possible doug, maybe u can stop by www.accordv6.com and let us know, if not i'll let them know.

BTW doug, i was the guy that snapped the photo at the comptech booth at SEMA.

 

Coming sOOn?

 

Did anyone find out for sure if the plastic will fit back on?

 

From the looks of Franks picture, it'll fit no problem.

 

still nothing on the J30A part?

 

Guess not. I'm still holding faith for ya brother.

Hope to see this first part of 2002 for myself as well. Should make nice power with all my other mods.

Jim

 

He said that the j30 res was going to come out in december for testing I believe, and since the j32 part was suppose to come out in early nov, I don't see the j30 part coming until early next year.

Syncivic: Thanks for the update! I hope everything is going well in the production phases and hope the see the finished product for sale soon! I still am very interested in being a tester for the j30 part on a 98 CL 3.0, keep me in mind!

 

he said tha he is sampling production units, tommorrow.... wish everything would be right....

 

Hey - maybe the RES will be standard on 2003 CLS 6-speed coming from Acura :P ha - right

I certainly hope to have my RES in a box waiting to mate it with my new 6-speed if all the chips fall in to place ...

 

I guess, the Acura 3.2 Engine designer would have to say:" Oh! Why I did not think of that!", The engine output could have jumped to at leasr 280HP and claimed the most powerfull 3.2L engine in the world!!

 

isn't the new m3 a 3.2 w/ like 333hp?

 

yes, 333.....but they have the vanos thing. i think it's double vanos now.

 

Doug, what was the outcome of your 12/1 inspection?
Any news on MM2?

 

thats what i was thinking...????? im ready....good lord im ready

 

 

Me 2!!!!!!! Did he say when he was going to post about his thing from 12/1?

 

I will be the first one to buy it from Tim when it comes out!

 

We are all waiting to hear the goods on 12/1 inspection and plans for big release....

just waiting does not feel good.... better go back to my work
