kpa to psi
idk where I am suppose to post this thread, so if its in the wrong spot sorry.
is there some sort of math formula to turn kPa into psi? I think 1 bar is like 15 psi but Im not to sure. the reason I ask is because my friend has a STI with the stock boost gauge that only reads kPa and wants to turn up the boost but he nor I can read the gauge. thanks

Re: kpa to psi
I think 1 bar depends on what elevation you are at, but at sea level, 1 bar = 14.7 psi.

Re: kpa to psi
multiply Kpa by 0.14504 to get PSI

Re: kpa to psi
kilopascals
used in physics and chemistry, just another measurement for pressure

Re: kpa to psi

no problem for future reference just take the boost you want to run and divide by 14.7

Re: kpa to psi
There are dozens of online calculators to convert these units for you. I use a small EXE called "convert." If you google "convert program" it should be the first link. I put a shortcut to this in my Quick Launch toolbar (with explorer, show desktop, etc, for you non compyooter types).
This comes in handy at work too. Some of the readounds are in Pascal, others in Torr, others in MM/H2O, etc. I really wish they'd make them all the same, considering they are all on the same piece of equipment

Re: kpa to psi
They aren't straight conversions though they take into account altitude. But those numbers will be accurate enough unless your in like denver.
