kPA vs Psi...HELP!

okay I just got in the HKS EVC V... my seeting are -.5 KpA... thats what....7.25 psi? I dont want to go much higher unless I know Im doing this math right...Ive seen conversion charts...but want a second opinion...

I should set it at 1.4 Kpa to be at 20.3 Psi?

Thats meaning 1 bar(Kpa) is 14.5 Psi? is this right?

1 bar = 14.5037738 pound-force/square inch (PSI)
20.3 pound-force/square inch (PSI) = 1.3996357 bar

take a look at http://www.onlineconversion.com/pressure.htm for all kinds of conversion factors.

Peace,

Manuel

*ROTFLOL*

Check your tyre pressures if you think 0.5Kpa is that high. I pump my tyres to 220Kpa (32psi)

So, 1psi ~ 7kpa.

Your device has *very* fine tuning indeed.
