before i took my motor in for a rebuild..my blitz dual tt was giving me readings between 78hKpa to 83(spikes)
and now that i got my car back
i am only reading from 72 to 75hKpa MAX....

1 kPA = 0.1450377 PSI
therefore...
72 kPA = 10.4 PSI
83 kPA = 12.0 PSI
Try this unit converter... it is free and has most types of units.

I think you have you "points" (decimals) in the wrong spots
1.0 Bar = 14.7 psi
.72 bar = 10.5
.83 bar = 12.2
1 bar is more then .72 so your conversion should say
"1 Kg/Cm2 = 14.50377 PSI" not "0.1450377"
To get your conversion just times the Kg/Cm2 (bar) by 14.7psi (at least that what i have always been told). thats why my numbers are a lil different then yours.
Acctually maybe im doing something wrong here compared to what you need as im using Kg/Cm2 instead of Kpa or are they the same?

1kPA = 0.0102 Kg/cm2
also 1 Bar is not 1 Kg/cm2:
1 Bar = 1.020 Kg/cm2
1 Bar is exactly 100 kPA.
