good luck with everything. Im sure it'll eventually fully work its way out. Looks like the good ole 7th gen's gonna need an ems

So Dezod you disabled the correction feature? Greddy said we should have that disabled anyway, I know they don't help us to much but maybe they knew that already? Either way good luck.

I hope so too. Colaborating with some great minds on it.

Something else to try. First thing - you need to know exactly what code your ECU is throwing. There are 3 different codes related to the barometric pressure sensor (P1106, P1107, and P1108). The first one is a general error, if something is wrong altogether. P1107 is the voltage from the MAP sensor is too low, P1108 is that the voltage is too high.

If you find out what specific code your car is throwing - that way we can determine what exactly is causing the problem. If its P1106 - well, lets just hope its not - because the other too would be easier to diagnose (either the ML isn't working, causing the MAP voltage to be too high, the airflow adjustment map is causing the MAP voltage to be too low).

Sad to say, P1106. Pulled the code last night.

Ok - to elaborate on my previous post. I've found that Honda / Acura have a different description of P1106 vs everyone else. P1106 for Honda says:

"Barometric pressure circuit problem "

Everyone else:

"Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor circuit intermittent high voltage"

I'm not 100% sure if they mean the same thing (hell - if its OBDII it should, technically), BUT - if it says that the MAP voltage is too high than your MAP sensor is seeing boost.

Is the code only being thrown when you go into boost or what? If so - try using the electronic boost clamp feature of the emanage to see if it fixes it!

Wondering why your using the missing link and the emange? The emange has the ability to limit the output voltage that the ECU will see for the map sensor. The Emanage actually needs to see positive pressures (higher voltage than 1 Bar) to adjust fuel correctly in the + 1 bar fuel tables. This may be a part of the problem. I know several with the Greddy 19T kit with the emanage and if they put a missinglink on they'll throw a code 13..Baro. Not sure exactly how yours is configured though.

The voltage clamp pigeon-holes yourself in a couple of aspects IMO. I use the GReddy Perssure Sensor for the E-Manage to read boost. The ML is for the stock ECU to be masked from boost. The car was running awesome on Saturday and Sunday. Now it sputters and chokes.

The car doesn't throw a CEL now, but sputters like it may have a vaccum leak. Gotta Love turbo'd cars.

I cleaned out the missing link & filter and remove the injector correction factor on the E-Manage.

what psi are you running? cause spdrcrchk is running 8 with no missing link and her rsx injectors are running dam good. I got a ride in that beast and it does pull. I think it may be the emanage. because she is also not running it. She is using a VAFC

Right now I am running 6.5 or so. The car runs much better now, and no CEL.

Prob. because the map doesn't see boost til about 8ish. so right now your not even using the missing link really.

The Greddy pressure sensor simply adds another basis for your fuel maps in the E-manage. Looks like the emanage is sending to many volts to the ecu. 96-98 civic the magic number is 2.9volts. 99-2000 is 3.3volts. Not sure about 2001+. May want to do like the afc-hack and run some 440 cc injectors and try that out with more boost.
How do you have the injector wires hooked up btw? Emanage is kind of new to me, I've used the AFC, Elink's Turbo2Link box and the AEM EMS. Trying to figure out how the injector drivers are supposed to function. Logicly, you would think once the Emanage reads over 0psi, it would limit the voltage to the stock ecu and use it's own maps to drive the injectors. Something is making me think that's not the case and it's using the ECU to drive the injectors by fooling the ecu map sensor like with the hack.

Map starts detecting boost @ circa 4PSI.

The map sees boost when you make boost. It's just within tolerance for the ECU. At about 8.2-8.5psi I would have fuel cut due the MAP sensor.

My synapse missing link did get rid of the issue, I could just never get the alcohol to work right, I think due to a bad jet. It worked fine for a while, then I had boost cutout. I got the missing link, and since then the alcohol hasn't worked, but no more cut.

I am running stock injectors with the emanage. No voltage clamp, because of the synapse unit. I don't think you're supposed to run both but I dont see how it would hurt.

So yeah, you can run 8psi with out a missing link. But Yvette has a missing link now (or at least I know she ordered one).

Good find. Makes sense. Keep in mind this would only work if you used the injector correction factor. If not, you would need to put 0's in for 0 RPM. Also, it would be better to put 0's all the way down the 0 RPM column as well - that way, if the throttle is pressed by accident while starting, the MAP voltage won't shoot down, and the car wouldn't freak out....Might be a fix!

In case your lazy or don't want to do the math...

I ran this as our injectors are 240cc and the new ones are 340cc...

240/340 = .706
70.6%
1/.706 = 1.42
so 42% should be the adjustment

Does anyone know what the RSX-S injectors flow? Are those the injectors you were talking about?
