View Full Version : Conversion of kg/cm2 to psi

I have had several different answers about the conversion of the Blitz DSBC (kg/cm2) and psi for boost purposes.

Matt at DR told me 1.00 kg/cm2 = 14.22 psi

Someone else told me 1 kg/cm2 = 14.7 psi

Well, again, Matt was right. This is a link to a conversion website that will convert any measurement you want.

1 bar is slightly different than 1 kg/cm2

So my max of 1.17 kg/cm2 = 16.64 psi.

Hope this helps anyone.

No idea why you are confused. He makes perfect sense to me. Not to mention that he is right.:D

??? Who's confused??? All I did after a run was pull out the calculator and figured it both ways. That way I knew exactly (confused) what pressures I was boosting at.

Is everyone else confused now??? I will 'splane it so's you's know's gooder.

So hold up, was it 17.64psi or 16.17psi using 14.22 or 14.7
:confused:

No silly boy. What he means is that 16.64 psi is the equivalent to 17.64 psi when mixed over a bunsen burner at 247 degrees celcius and then reconstituted with dehydrated water mixed with a methanol mixture to increase the volatility of the external EGT into a 1.17 measurable ratio.

Methane Number (MN)
Motor octane number (MON)
Hydrogen/carbon ration (H/C)

MON = -406.14 + 508.04*(H/C) – 173.55*(H/C)^2 + 20.17*(H/C)^3
MN = 1.624*MON – 119.1

Use the above formula if you are still confused.

ohhhhh!! Does it have to do with the fluxcapacitor?

No. The flux capacitor only works at 88mph. Then the bar conversion factor is the one to use, not the kg/cm2 conversion factor. Cant anyone explain it so that Lurker can grasp the concept? I've tried.

Lost cause, let's just drop it.

Yes it needs to be user friendly like Ritchy:p
