KPA conversion
What's the conversion rate for hKpa to Psi? I've heard people say 14.606 or something along those lines. Which is about right, but I've also heard .14.. or 1.4 .. etc.
As long as we're on these lines, what is the difference between Kpa and hKpa? I understand the difference between. km, m, cm, and mm (different "meters") but what the hell is this h thing?
TIA

thanks.. but what is the relationship of kpa and hkpa?
I'm getting readings like .5 or .7 hkpa
is .1 kpa = 1 hkpa ????
if .1 kpa = 1hkpa = 14.5 psi
that would make a reading of .7 hkpa = 10.15 Psi

in the metric system h stands for the prefix hecto- which is 10^2 whereas k standing for kilo is 10^3 if KPA is the measurement and h is the prefix then hKpa would be a larger number by twi decimal places ie 1 KPA = .01 (ie it would take 100 KPA's to make 1 hKPA) given that, if .1 KPA = .001 hKpa = 14.5 PSI , and if I'm getting readings of .7 hkpa, then I'm getting the eqvalent of 70 KPA or 1015 psi of BOOST
and for some reason I don't think that's right

.07 kpa would be about 10Psi...
so .7hkpa proably would be about 10Psi
So,
.1 kpa == 14.5Psi
1 hkpa == 14.5 Psi..
So it looks like you are only doing about 10Psi.. Which is normal on a 3rd gen RX-7
