there is 5 inches of snow on the ground, no im not driving my car. no not tuned and ALL hondas have a 3bar map sensor... 11 psi of boost. the map sensor can see boost, but i have it blocked anyways. and a jackson racing map controller, im debating on to hook up yet. i started it and drove down my alley to make sure everything is good so far. not worried about that, right now im trying to figure out what exact wires to plug my resistor box into. if someone can point them out it would be great... and my buddy was going to give me a 4bar map sensor, but i decided to block it,, jackson racing map contoller kit.
Typically, the MAP sensor seems to start having issues around 10 psi.
BTW, it's kinda sad to see that this thread turned into a "bash the newbie" thread...
With this said, you should probably consult a professional to have him revise your setup. I agree with many that you risk scrapping your engine on the first keyturn... Since you haven't run it yet, no harm done, but don't be ashamed to ask questions and get help.

You need to install inline resistors immediately so you dont damage the saturated injector drivers on the EMS. Your car is running very poor due to not having the resistors in place.
I would ditch the injectors altogether and pick up a set of Injector Dynamics 1000c's. They are a drop in replacement to the OEM injector, and are saturated which do not require inline resistors. They will run night and day better than the DSM 450cc's in there now as well...

11psi = ~0.75bar

i have no money

Do yourself a favor and put your car back to stock before something bad happens.
This isn't the forum for the weak of wallet. Soon enough, you'll figure that out.

You know soooooooooooooo much about turbos and your dad is the king of turbos yet your driving around in an untuned turbo s2000 (that is not turbo'd from the factory) and you can't figure out why it's running sluggish....dude wtf? Just because your a student doesn't mean your automatically retarded does it?
You also say you don't have money yet your taking your (guessing) only mode of transportation, adding a turbo (and killing overall reliability), adding cheap pos parts thinking they will work, not tuning it yet driving it hard, and basically turning your car into a diaster?
Being a former student, I'm embarassed for you

i hate putting a turbo on it but you cant really squeeze anymore power out of the s2k motor NA unless your willing to spend alot of money. so the cheapest way is forced induction, im not trying to argue and fight with anyone, but everyone just needs to stop talking shit. im 19 and i beat the #### out of my s2k... i dont treat it like its something special. i treat it like i stole it. literally everytime i pull out of a light, stop sign, every turn i take, every straight strech, everywhere i go, i go all out, unless of course its like a public area and a bunch of people are around. favorites are the back roads that never end and all turns... and yes im 19 but i could show a lot of people how to drive this car, but once again im not trying to say im the best, im just saying dont put me down cuase of my age. i can drive my s2k extremely well and im not scared to push it to its max, my opinion in order to push the S to its full potential you have to let the ass end hang out a little. (oversteer) a little bit doesnt hurt.. but anyways people who gave me advice thanks i aprciate it.
Word of advice, these forums don't take well to kid boi racers who think they can handle this car because statistics show your going to total your car soon enough driving like that raising all of our insurances...
