Hey Guys,

I just got my car back from my single turbo install...I just have a quick question...i have done several searches but I cant find the right answer...

I have also used a conversion calculater and I just keep coming up with different answers...

So if my Apex Power Fc reads .52 kg...Would that be roughly 5psi of boost? Thats what I was thinking it would be....But I cant come up with the actual formula?!? Can you guys plz help me figure out how to convert kg to ft pounds of boost or whatever...

Thanks guys,
Shawn

 

just .52 kg of boost? Thats not even an accurate unit, that would imply mass or weight?

Thanks for the link Alex...That helped alot...So that tells me that .52 kg equals roughtly 7 pounds of boost...

So would .07kg equal 1 pound of boost? damn...Lol...Im starting to confuse myself
...

 

ok theres a much faster way to do this

go to google.com

type ".52 bar to psi"
.52 bar = 7.54196236 pounds per square inch
My car normally peaks @ .74 so lets double check...
.74 bar = 10.7327926 pounds per square inch
That looks good to me!

This works for about anything like...
5 dollars to yen
5 U.S. dollars = 569.550033 Japanese yen
Even in complex equations such as....
12psi - 4atm
(12 pounds per square inch) - (4 atm) = -322 562.912 pascals

I know the PFC reads out some wierd unit of measure, but its bar trust me.

 

Rofl jesus, I was sooo lost when he just says kg, yah 1 BAR = 14.5psi.

 

he lost me too..
creating a storm out of a teacup haha

 

The units are kg/cm^2.

1 kg/cm^2 = 14.22 psi.

That is correct sorry I was up late, its close to 1 bar but it is not the same, Sorry for blurting out the wrong info.

 

Apexi Uses kg/cm² not bar. Max is correct =P

 

For pretty close conversions in your head, use multiples of 7.

ie, .70 is 10 psi, .77 is 11 psi, .84 is 12 psi, .91 is 13 psi, 1.07 is 15 psi. etc etc. That is accurate within a few tenths of a psi.
