BAR to PSI conversion on gauge

[eclipsegsx1736]

I have a Greddy boost gauge that measures in BAR, any way to take the face out and put in a PSI face so that I can have it in PSI and not have to replace the whole thing? thanks

1 bar = 14.7 PSI

Not practically. Replace the gauge.

When I got the car it allready had blitz racing boost gauge and pyro gauge on the pillar. Now my engine is broke in and I am going to put on my mbc and i dont know how to read the boost gauge its not done by american readings. Like it goes -60, -30, 0, 0.5, 1.0 and so on. Can someone clue me in please.

is it read in bars of boost? never heard of a gauge like that before. too inaccurate. put a pic up of the gauge itself.

Bar is just the metric version of PSI.
1bar = about 14.5psi.

You can look at this too http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/pressure

Yes it is read in bar. The 60,-30,0 is your vacuum. From 0 to 1(or however high your gauge goes) is boost. 1 bar=14.5psi. Type in "bar psi coversion" on google and it'll tell you all about it.

Here's a chart telling a bunch of conversions: http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/photopost/data/514/33bBar_to_psi_.jpg

Yhea its in bars of boost. The gauge is round and when the car is off its at -60 then at idel its 0 . My camera took a s##t on me , that sucks for me I know

Man thats killer....THANKS

 

[twocanewayne]

Is that why I stay around 0.5 hooked up the stock way?What are the little bars between 0 and 0.5 ? Theres 4 of them in bold black then a small line in between each of those.

 

[dsmclipse97]

probably fractions of a bar. makes it more accurate. i dont know why anyone would use bar as a measurment unless they are running more than 60psi and unless your john shepherd you wont be running that much.

 

[Snobordin8]

Not to be a dick but 1 bar = 14.7 psi...

bar is also known as atmospheric pressure...

Wrong. 1 bar does not equal 1 atm, but it is very close.

1 bar=14.5psi
1 atm=14.7psi (These psi's are rounded to the tenth)

Thanks for the info guys, I want be ggoing after Shepards record.....its a fast a## DD though! I got 3 bars on the BLITZ gauge.

 

[twocanewayne]

I mean 1.5

 

[pj91gsx]

the title states it. anyone have a bar to psi conversion chart or something?

 

[VETTE_50_TH]

Its actually 14.5 but whose counting. Here is a site that has all the pressure types eva.

also, just for future reference, google has an awesome calculator built in. You can seriously convert just about anything. Just type in " unit1 to unit2 " in the search bar.

Just get comfortable with bar. It's better anyway, metric and all.

 

[romeen]

Some Japanese gauges use bar and some use Kg/cm^2 (Blitz uses this a lot). They end up being similar but not exactly the same. The latter equals 14.22 psi. Just something to look for.

I was wondering whats the most accurate way to read a regular boost gauge, reading it while u rev the car on neutral or reading it while you are driving the car at its max boost. i got an after market one that was already installed when i bought the car. It reads from 0-30.
will appreciate any help, thx.

If the gauge reads vacuum then when the car is off it should not read -60 and at idle it should not read 0. Does this gauge have an electric sender or does it have a manual tube feed?

Your car should not be making boost at idle or in neutral even if you rev it up (unless it has been modified with a two step). It should only build boost under load and the gauge should only show boost pressure then.

 

[ECLIPSE_GSX]

it doesnt read boost at idle, when i rev it on neutral the max it shows is 7psi and while im driving it and i give it gas and reads about 13psi. Yesterday i put in a mbc and i was just trying to figure out which way to read it.

 

[LandoAWD]

The "how to read it" stuff has me scratching my head...

Idle is a vacuum condition. Boost is a positive pressure condition. The end.
