To convert cm/kg2 into psi multiply by 14.223 but that doesnt seem right so I dunno...

Posted in other thread. It's right, so he is not boosting that much.

1 kilogram-force/square centimeter = 14.223 343 334 pound/square inch

[Supa Dexta]

well thats 10lbs, no idea what stock is on it.

[badatusrnames]

I dunno? What do you drive??

Edit: I'm guessing an STi?

From this it sounds like anywhere from 12-14.5:

Sound like you're a little low? I don't know anything about STi's... do they safety boost?

[Supa Dexta]

Its an sti, from his ID there, I thought they were closer to 13/14 stock, but I'm not sure..

[STi403]

im not sure if im right on this 10 psi is wat i found. its my 1990 GTR.

[badatusrnames]

I dunno then, try searching on GTRcanada.com.

~10 psi sounds about right, my Z is 9.5-10 (stock) if that means anything...

[STi403]

cool thats all i wanted to know. just makin sure im not over boosting.
