everyone keeps talking about this new mod that is coming out called RES...what is it???? its 33% the price of headers and OUTPREFORMS THEM??? where do i sign up???? if only i knew what RES is.....

 

Its an ongoing joke here on the board .. another fantasy, just like Amir's supercharger.

 

Don't hold your breath........I don't think we will see them available soon if anytime.....

 

its not a joke...amirs super charger is... but RES is real, its been on three different members cars, and has been dynoed twice...im sure it'll be out ,there have been lots of problems making copies of the original so to speak,,,if you open your hood, in the middle of your engine, surrounded in black plastic the rectangle metal piece...its reshapped ,made larger to bring in more air.this ofcourse is a simplistic description of how its made and what it does ,but it does work and it is real....just a matter of time

 

Only believe what you can see. What is real, what is tangible.

 

Check out this thread. It will explain what a RES is and what it looks like.

It's kinda like a unicorn.

 

I've almost given up hope.

 

springtime is here and I lack a nice horsepower boost. This is getting depressing. Time to buy some exhaust so my car at least sounds faster.

 

Can anyone in South FL give a call for Syncivic for status Update?

 

Here ya go:



BTW, has Doug reported any gas mileage issues?? It seems that I went throug this last tank of fuel rather quickly with the spacer plate on the car. Oh also, after having fixed the center divider wall seal issues things seems to be much better now at all revs. But I haven't driven the car for a couple of days since there is no rubber line on the external transmission fluid lines (everyone is out of 3/8" trans cooler hose).

Dyno soon though... Any other ATL area members want to be in on a dyno session??

 

scalbert, can you tell me something. from the pictures it looks like your putting the unit in between the plastic intake manifold cover and the intake manifold, which doesnt make sense. can you give me a brief explanation on where/how its being mounted? thanks

 

I'm tired of waiting. Maybe I should just say fuggit and go buy a 75shot of nitrous. LOL

 

it's crossed my mind more than once ...

 

This might illustrate the entire process a bit more clearly:

Thread

But no, it is not the plastic cover, it is the manifold cover plate. I made a spacer plate which basically increased the center chamber volume. That is all...

If you are unsure of the layout of the intake manifold system, refer to the following diagram:

Manifold

 

i see. i thought that plate was the plastic cover (i have to stop thinking about my 99)
next time your working on it, can you take a picture with all the plates removed? i cant see too much of the manifold itselt with the fabricated plate there.

 

Answer to your question and much more in the FAQ in my sig.
