But OTOH, part of me is glad the RES didn't work out... I gotta stop spending money on mods

At least there is some good news, I am 99% sure I know why the E-Manage test never got underway. Several of the pins were not seated all of the way. That would certainly cause problems with a bad connection.
I had a talk with the director of QA and they promise to do a better job with final inspection.
BTW, the other harness I had was sound with all pins properly seated. That is what I get for not brining both.

I remember seeing the dyno posted (mrsteve is a noob) and it was pretty impressive. I still have hope!
Oh and Scalbert, at a way to bust the QA director's chops!

I'm still holding out hope.
BTW Scalbert, did I understand correctly that this didn't have the 'reeds' yet. Meaning was this just a plate at this point? Or was 'reed' even something discussed in conjunction with RES?

Here's a little bit about what's going on under there....
"....The volume, when shaped right enhanced the torque curve in the split plenum region, but a special "flapper" valve resonated in the chamber in the combined plenum RPM range. The materials used were carbon fiber reeds from perf 2 cycle bikes, but it was how they were used that made the difference. Of note, during testing, the inlet horns were covered with screen to prevent ingestion of broken reeds when poor designs would fail and the induction vacuum would try to injest them."

Syncivic simply said he didn't want to deal with issues surrounding the production of the unit. I consider that BS. But he seemed pretty adamant about not wanting build this for us, and not coming back this board.

I never did find the patent that was supposedly pending (or whatever).

We're talking old stuff here.
Some names to search on RAdams and bioyuki.
Some links:
http://www.acura-tl.com/forums/showt...threadid=20175
Look down the thread for "UPDATE:"
In the quoted section SFLA Type-S is mentioned.
And here is the link to SFLA_TYPE-S

RAdams I don't mean to correct you but the 2nd & 3rd dyno charts are mine.
The 2nd chart was when Doug (syncivic) dynoed my car with I/H/E (231 hp/192 lb/ft torque) then with I/H/E + RES (241 hp/204 lb/ft torque). The 3rd chart was with I/H/E, RES plus a 55 shot of nitrous (282 hp/249 lb/ft torque)
I know you might want proof so I just took some digital pictures of the charts that Doug (syncivic) gave to me.
HERE & HERE

But, you'd think he would at least be able to verify what was going on and recall the events concerning the dyno. OR ... perhaps he wasn't present.
I've just left some breadcrumbs...

Perhaps its time for a "SFLA Type-S do you remember your RES/DYNO experience?" thread? Hopefully he isn't under a 
order.

All I remember is that Doug (syncivic) moved to Greenwich, CT I thought and word was that he was working for MB these days...at least I remember reading that somewhere. Should I try and hunt him down?
