what the heck is that? Are you goof'n? The whole "mystery" part of this mod is getting old.

 

Yeah, once we found out what it is. I could'nt imagine how big it could possibly be w/ underhood clearance. That makes that much hp?

 

He's not goof'n. That's the piece that replaces the top plate on your intake manifold. Yuo OEM piece if flat as a pancake.... this is the mod that allows addidtion air chamber space for "enhanced" Hemholtz resonance effect. Looks fantastic! I wan't one, that's for sure.

MAN... I went to SEMA on Tuesday and couldn't find that mod anywhere... I guess I should of found out the company that was going to make it first.... that place is huge... neva seen so many crazy ass cars... this blows away any car show i've been to...

anyways... saw the comptech supercharger for our car... so sweet... so expensive...

So who manufacutures the mystery mod?
It just allows for more air capacity in your intake manifold?

 

I posted on Helpholtz many times regarding the CAI.

Let me get this straight:

Helmholtz on air box...Bad
Helmholtz on intake manifold..good.

If it clears the hood, I am all for it.

BTW, this looks similar to the box John Lingenfelter fits to his Chevy small blocks. Itr makes good power there but it is combined with changes throughout the intake system, i.e. valves.

 

the guy's name is doug and i think he is part of the floridian acura dealership called rick case...and they did not have a booth. can you believe our buddy frank had to seek out this one guy in that humungous place?!?!?!

so i guess it's more air as well as better flow (due to resonance)? would this mean we are running the car leaner and therefor would require additional mods to deliver more fuel?

 

I would think the ECU recognizes the need for extra fuel, via oxygen sensor and what not.

Honda's aren't mass air are they? I don't see a mass air meter anywhere.

 

Just to clear up some questions:

That IS in fact the mod. And it does clear the hood.

Hondas use MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensors.

Your ECU will handle the additional fueling requirements with no problem.

 

WTF?

 

I'll post the same thing here that I did in Mackdaddy's other post on here.....

gimme gimme gimme.....

OK, so I changed it a little!!

 

oooohhh... how ... mysterious...

Curious that he didn't have a booth... you have a 'new mod' that you think a bunch of people want ... no booth so people can't find you ?????

Hopefully one our members that have access to a dyno can get one an post the results.

 

I want to know 3 things:
1. Who killed JFK?
2. Where's Jimmy Hoffa?
3. When is the *Mystery Mod* going to fit my K20A2 (RSX-S)?

 

I have another question.

Is this "Mystery Mod" have a official name?

Or is it officially known as the "Mystery Mod"?

 

How much is this thing? (the manifold cover).

 

It will forever be know as the Mystery Mod in my opinion.

 

BMW has M Power, we'll have MM Power!!

 

Supposed to be $299... may be a little higher depending if there's a markup or not....

 

Hmmm..... I think Im going to wait until a few fellow forumites have it on their car and report in the results. But....if it truly works as advertised, and makes the dyno numbers I saw, its well worth the $299!

 

Yep, I would like to see one of our more 'techy' members get one and evaluate (w/dyno), rather than rely soley on the data provided by the manufacturer.

 

There are only a select few that want this, RSX'ers, Av6'ers, TL/CL'ers, and TL-S/CL-S'ers. So that's not that many people. It looks like it only because there are boards like this and AccordV6.com(shamless plug ) out there that show some demand, but actually most CL, TL, and Accord V6 owners don't mod their cars

 

i wanna get some feedback from people who use this before i buy, we should start a new thread about feedback once its installed

 

It will forever be known as the "Mystery Mod"... or we can have a contest to rename it

 

As far as no booth. If this is his only product, he would look pretty silly with an 8x10 booth and a little chromed steel (mystery mod) thingy sitting on a card table. He would need time and money to prepare a really nice display. One product does not necessarily make a business, especially before it's sold.

Also, national show vendor floor space, at least in my industry, is usually sold out a year ahead of time, and he might not have been able to get a booth. I'm betting that someone here will give him the benefit of the doubt, strap one on and let the rest of us know how it does pretty quick though!

 

besides the relatively cheap price of $299, wasn't there also a pitch about the mod being installed in so many minutes? like 15 minutes or something...

that does not look like it can be installed in 15 minutes!

 

It's 5 min.and it bolts right to the top of the block could'nt be easier...i'll tell you what when i drive to tim's house i'll have my drill/driver and i'll bet i can do it in 2 minutes

 

so are you saying that this mod will burn more fuel?
if so, how much will it be affected? I am getting like 18 mpg right now, and I don't want to get something that will hurt my mpg even more.

 

Well, if you want more power you need more air and fuel. Simple as that, at least until someone comes up with a more energy-efficient fuel.

Tony

 

That's not necessarily true. Efficiency is the key. The jury is still out on this mod so we really don't know if it will increase consumption or not. It might, but let's wait and see.

Anyway, look at the headers Comptech makes for the TL. They don't use more fuel but cause a dramatic increase in power. Our 260 HP S gets the same mileage as the 225 HP TL-P but has the same displacement.

In some cases, better tuning can actually create more power and use less fuel.

 

i have asked this before, but anyone thinks that the mm would make the car sounds louder? at least at high rpm?

 

I dont think this thing will use up more gas if you dont drive like a bat out of hell all the time...If you are trying to conserve, I would imagine that it would be more efficient for the car...I cant wait to put it on...Shyne

 

umm, no, i don't mean the gas. i mean the sound. coz' i know when you put on intake, your car sounds louder. so does this mm has that effect too?

 

ok, thats it, i put aside everything i had planned, i want this thing, NOW, wheres the list to sign up? im not down for backorder bs, i want this mm

 

will not make the car louder. Only things that would impact the sound are intake and exhaust. This is changing the air plenum volume.

 

True; I was referring to power increases in general. Even if a mod is tuned so as to make more efficient use of power, how would you really know whether or not more fuel is being used, say in the case of the TL-S? Let's use the CAI as an example--for all we know, the ECM could be adding more fuel to the fuel-air mixture since the CAI is allowing in more air (compared to the stock air intake). Actually--if indeed more air is coming in, the ECM should add more fuel, otherwise you'll have a lean mixture. I don't claim to know everything about engines but I would think that no engine can produce more hp while burning a leaner mixture vs. one that is just right.

Bottom line--if you want huge power gains, you will need more fuel. Why else do some of these mods involve swapping out the fuel pump for one that can supply more fuel at a higher rate?

Tony

 

When will it be available and where? Hope it comes in satin, and not just chrome.

 

-?-

 

this is all bulllllllll $$$$$hit!!!!!!

 

why is it that this fred guy posted the pic but had nothing to say about it?

 

Yea, why do they do that to us
