The ForceFed Racing PSI 2 BAR program is a conversion utility for converting PSI to BAR. This program was developed from our need to reference PSI boost pressure levels to the metric BAR commonly used in Japanese electronics and gauges, It is extremely handy in aiding in the conversion of metric boost pressure values (BAR) to the standard PSI values. Ever wonder what 15PSI is in BAR on your metric boost gauge? Now you can easily find out as the PSI2BAR conversion utility calculates PSI>BAR & BAR>PSI. The software auto calculates the values as you type. Give it a try and tell us what you think.

Or you could just do the math yourself.

14.7 psi = 1bar

Much better if you know the conversion rate yourself, that way you don't have to depend on your computer.

i meant 14.5 psi = 1bar

I know but I thought it was cool, and tought some others might like it, its just for fun lol.

I think you were right the first time.

14.7 psi = 1 bar

damned bar.. I wish my Greddy gauge was in PSI.. this conversion crap gets annoying

iNEEDspeed · Mar 17, 2002

I guess I was right the first time. 14.7 equal 1 bar. Bar is not that hard to deal with. I've actually gotten used to it. It's like everything, the more you deal with it, the more you get used to it.

Your car looks DAMNED GOOD larryd.

I am pretty sure 1bar=14.5psi
1atm=14.7psi

larryd · Mar 17, 2002

thanks for the comment.. everyone told me 1 bar is 14.7psi.. same as ATM pressure

I was looking at the different units for measuring pressure one day and I am pretty sure "bar" is not the metric unit of pressure. Kilograms per centimeter squared (kg/cm^2) is the metric unit of measurement. But the thing is, bar is VERY close to the metric unit and maybe that is why everyone calls it "bar" (and it is easier to say).

Here is a link to a webpage containing 2 conversion tables. One converts from "bar" to psi and the other one converts from psi to "bar". Conversion equations are also included on the webpage.

1 bar = 14.22psi on that one? That's pretty mess up. Any search that I can find on the web for conversion will say 1bar =14.5psi.

There was a thread on this awhile back. BAr is not the same as kg/cm^2, but yes they are close and often confused.

1 Bar is 14.7 psi

1 kg/cm^2 is 14.22 psi.

Greddy gauges read in kg/cm^2 NOT bar. Simply take the reading you get from the gauge and multiply it by 14.22 to get PSI.

Cazzo · Mar 17, 2002

Also, on the website that Mike Black 95 GST posted, read the first paragraph carefully. Even though he uses the word BAR, he means kg/cm^2. This is misleading. He should've taken the time to write out kg/cm^2 for his conversions, but he is obviously lazy.

damn.. if i had only known that..

jw · Mar 17, 2002

1 bar != 14.7 psi

larryd · Mar 17, 2002

If (Boost_Gauge != "Greddy") {

1bar==14.7 } else {

Boost_Gauge == GREDDY;
1bar == 14.22 psi;

}

its late..

jw · Mar 17, 2002

No, it should be:

#define uns unsigned short;

uns actualboost(uns x){
if(boost_guage=="greddy") return x*14.22; //because 1kg/cm^2=14.22psi
else return x*14.5; //because 1bar=14.5psi
}

haha.. we got too much time on our hands

jw · Mar 17, 2002

I know

Only difference is your doesnt work because you used ==. They are used as comparison operator. Return 1 if statement is true and 0 if false. If you want assignment, you should use single =.

Sorry for off-topic
