No I'm not a troll!!!!! Just poking around after an idiot turbo dodge guy posted crap stuff on your board.
Yes, 14.7psi per bar.
Don't forget that atmospheric pressure is already 14.7psi ... so if you want to run 14.7psi of boost, you need a 2 bar sensor (or guage), 29.4psi a 3 bar

=================================
No no no, when people say bars of intake pressure, they usually say the absolute pressure - Flamenco would be running 1.45 bars over atmospheric pressure, or what you'd think of as 23.XX psi. When people say in psi, they usually mean psi over atmospheric pressure.
For example, if you went to buy a manifold pressure sensor, and bought a 2 bar sensor, it'll only read up to 14.7psi for you. See what I mean?

Re: How much PSI to the bar? Whats the conversion? (DodgeGuy)
but i always thought the stock sensor was good to 14.7 psi and that is a one bar sensor. according to dodgeguy, that would mean the stock honda sensor cannot read boost at all which isnt true.
