1 BAR = 14.7PSI

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....

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.

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

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"
