The casting process has been a challenge:

1. Precision fit issues
2. Porosity effects on durability (backfire containment)
3. Excess casting thickness which reduced demonstrated
prototypical power gains.

What does this mean?

These headaches, along with my 60+Hour a week job have slowed the release (READ- Not stopped!) of the final version. It is important that the part is cast vs. a billet piece like the prototype because of cost considerations. If I said the part were a $100 more, most would groan and I don't blame you. My error is being overly optimistic and a bit naive about casting issues. I've made great personal investment in this part going to market and it will shortly. As for my hectic schedule, I've brought on an outsider to help me expedite its release in doing the leg work. The final product will be released that meets the performance predictions and is worthy of being on your cars.

As for MMII, it is running aroung under the hood of my MDX for street testing. It is a modification which could affect drivability if not calibrated porperly but so far, so good. Its power band for the buck is 3X that of the RES although I haven't worked them together yet to see if the gains are additive.

BTW - Tim has been diligent in hounding me about these releases, it is not his fault in any way. He knew as much as most of you.

Thanks for the patience.

 

Thanks for the update! As someone who has been a mfr (in eloectronics), I can appreciate the headaches. Castings are always problematic.

I am willing to bet that nearly eberyone interested in the MM woulod rather wait untilo you get ir right rather than have instant gratification with big trouble loater on (like many first marriages).

 

100% Agreed. Thanks in advance for all the hard work.

 

Doug you know where to find me if you need any test pilots

 

Thanks for the update and all the hard work you and your team are putting into this product.

 

Again thanks for the update, better to wait for a high quality part!!

 

Thanks for the update syncivic. Personally, it doesn't matter to me which way you go, as long as it's a quality product. It looks like that's what you're committed to do, so if the price is $100 more, then so be it!! Either way, I can't wait for the release, but I'm glad you're taking your time on it!!

 

hey syncivic, you got pm.
