Gen II TL-SX
Does anyone have any information, like HP stats, changes, mods, for the TL-SX that Rick Case made? Does anyone have pics of this car? I wrote to them a few days ago and I also called them, I haven't had a response yet. I would like to know if it is worth it to get this mod.

Is this the RES aka "mystery" mod you are asking about? If so, it sounds like it may be ready in January.
There are many posts about this one, and I think a prototype performance report -> search for RES or mystery mod!

The mystery mod is the 3.5 upgrade isn't it? If it is then, thats what I'm talking about. I am really thinking of getting this upgrade, but before I do I want to know what it can do and what it looks like.

From the acura cl faq. http://www.geocities.com/gamesmgr/chod/acura/#Mods17
The 3.5L upgrade is done by Rick Case Acura. The really short version is it is a converted 3.5L MDX engine put into a CL.
More specific details:
Roughly 315 hp and 254 ft lbs of torque
0-60 in 5.7 seconds, 1/4 mile in 14.0 sec.
Note runs done at Moroso Motorsports Park in 90 degree and 90% humidity.
Parts:
From MDX: Crank, bearing, pistons, rods, tranny housing 1->2, intake plenum spacer
Comptech Headers, springs, sways
AEM 2.5" CAI
Brushed aluminum interior
Apex VTEC Controller
Head work is done by the Propulsion Laboratory in conjunction with John Brown Racing of S. Florida.
Compression ratio is 10.85:1
Takes 8 work days to produce/convert one powertrain.
Cost: $4999 for 315 HP, and $6999 for a 335 HP Gen II set-up.
One acura-cl.com got the conversion, ran great with it, and had no transmission problems at all

THIs car is the bomb. i drove it and its a crazy kick ass ride. its got powr that no car in its class can beat, not even the gs430 has more hp and that has 300. the tl-sx hass move then 320 up to 335 for under 40gs, what can u say, its the best bang for your buck. i will be gettin this car next when my lease on my cl-s expires and then ill be one happy tl driver.
