Doug called me at about 7:30 Monday evening to discuss the RES and MM2. Since he's been unable to log on to the boards lately, he asked that I share some information with you all.

The RES project has not been scrapped. He's still some $90,000 short of being able to make the first production run. I mentioned that there was quite a bit of interest on the boards lately and he seemed glad to hear it.

"Mystery Mod II" or "MM2" is alive and very well. We can all theorize as to what this is, but I do know that it's electronic in nature and interacts with the ECU. He began testing about 7 months ago and ran into a few bugs (mainly check engine lights). Apparently they've been worked out as it's been installed on his MDX for the last 5 months without a single problem. In his words, the [dyno-proven] gains for this mod are "almost identical" to the gains from the RES. He also mentioned the likelihood of MM2 being released before the RES, but gave no specific dates for either, nor did he mention any idea of pricing for MM2.

As some of you may know, Doug left Rick Case Honda a while ago. He's now working for another Honda dealer in South Florida and is still very much interested in releasing these items. I'm going to head down to the new dealership one of these days to meet with him and get as much information on these as I can (i.e. pricing, anticipated release dates, etc.) though him being in a new job might affect the timetables somewhat. I'll share any further information with you as I get it.

Thanks for the update. I am eagerly awaiting both units to see how they test on the dyno and what they cost.

How about one Mystery mod at a time!

Thanks for the info!

Awesome!!!

Can't wait till these 2 mods come out.

So your saying MM2 is going to yield the same HP as MM1?

If that's the case we are looking at a 30-50 HP increase with just these 2 mods.

Not necessarily true.... increases from mods are not usually cummulative (sp?). They'll have to test for that. I'm sure used together you'll yield good results, but I don't think you should add the increases together just yet.

That being said... I'm looking forward to both mods if they ever appear.....
