Bar and PSI

[slinzx]

Hi, what does 30psi = 2 bar boost mean?

 

[daconchslop]

2 Bar of boost is equivalent to ~30psi. They’re just 2 methods of measuring pressure.

 

[slinzx]

So what does that mean in terms of hp or boost? I heard 2 bar of boost is quite good already. But I don’t know what that means.

 

[daconchslop]

It means you’re making 29+psi in boost. What turbo are you running?

 

[slinzx]

EQT XL

 

[Diggs24]

2bar to redline is perfectly fine for that turbo.

 

[daconchslop]

You’re likely making over 450hp with that turbo running 2 bar.

 

[slinzx]

how to see? Hahaha

 

[daconchslop]

That looks pretty lazy. You should be spooled 1k rpm sooner. What fuel is this on?

 

[slinzx]

Octane 98

Yep, something is amiss.

The noise is fine but the power on the dyno is low. Your spool is late and you are not reving it out to 7200. This turbo likes to breath so let it scream. What fueling mods do you have?
