boost readings

[terminater2_uk]

Car just passed its mot so took it for its first quick blast.
Stock turbo gauge flew to the top so thats working fine.
I've got a blitz turbo timer with boost on there.
On tickover it reads -47 hkpa and the peak boost I reached was 57 hkpa.
Any idea what that is in PSI?

Ok I got that wrong, it actually reads 0.57 kg/cm^2 whatever that is

I have Blitz timer that reads in hkpa.
Tickover = -47 (ish)
Peak = 0.77

The peak boost of .77 is around 11psi
Not sure what the kg/cm 2 conversion is though

Come on guys....kg/cm is a pretty common measurement for boost.

0.57 kg/cm is 0.55 bar which is 8.1 psi.

I run 1.2 kg/cm in my MR2, your job is to tell me how much psi that is

1.2 kg/cm is 17 psi matey (or 17.068012psi in full terms!!)

[KiwiMR2]

1.2 kg/cm is 17 psi matey (or 17.068012psi in full terms!!)

Yep, so for terminater2_uk, 0.1 kg/cm is 0.0981 bar, and 1.4220 psi
