can anyone tell me what stndard wrx bosst runs in bar??? not pounds per"im getting all sorts of measurements and think i might have an air leak or boost control soleniod fault..

 

1 BAR = 14.7PSI

NORMAL UK BOOST IS ABOUT .7BAR
WRX MAY BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER DEPENDING ON TUNED OR STD

 

thanks len

 

My wrx standard boost peaks at 1.0bar drops and holds at.9, according to the lamco guage in the car.

 

The Lamco I've got reads in kg/cm, I *think* 1 kg/cm is slightly less than than 1 bar....

Regards
Richard

 

For the record:
1 bar = 14.5038psi
1 kg/cm2 = 0.98 bar
1 bar = 1.0197 kg/cm2

These are accurate conversions and not approximate.

Thanks

 

What about KiloPascals...KPa

PS 1 bar about = 102KPa

 

Trout,

Sounds a bit fishy to me....

I assume you're talking about 1bar "absolute", or atmospheric ? as against 1bar = 14.5038psi, or 2bar absolute, or 202kpa "approx" ???

NO WONDER your cars so bloody slow

nice one thats cleared that one up prety much

 

1 bar serves Guinness, another serves Beamish. Which bar is a better measure of Absolute? Or should I measure a Smirnoff?

Beware, too much bar = engine "FUBAR"
