x-bar?

[sandman]

ive seen the term "bar" used with cars, im thinking for a measurement of power
wat is that???
like on www.exvitermini.com one of the things it'll say in the top left hand when u go is "today i will be running 4 bar" and then ive seen it aorund other places
jus always wondered wat it was? :confused:

isn't that term used for boost preasure? like instead of saying i'll be running 9psi i'll be running .8 bar

I know that 1 bar is like 14.7psi or something like that

maybe i just don't know what im talking about:dunno:

You are correct - my boost gauge is in bar:

It is used more with Scuba divers because 1 bar (15PSI) is equal to 1 atmosphere. So you go down 3 bar, you are at 3 times atmosphere (I think it's 30 feet per bar, but I forget).

Edit: If anyone is running 4 bar, thats 60 PSI - I'd like to see his turbo :D

psi = bar x (14.503)

so a full 1 bar of boost is 14.503 psi.

4 bar would be a staggaring 58.012 psi.
