Equation for PSI value in ADX
I would like to add a PSI value into into my ADX, it currently has the number displaying in KPA but i would like to be able to see it as a PSI reading also.
I just dont know what the equation would need to be
the one for KPA is (X * 0.781) + 8
What would i need to have here for the PSI value ?

Re: Equation for PSI value in ADX
enclose the whole lot in brackets and multiply by the conversion factor from kpa to psi, which is 0.1450

Re: Equation for PSI value in ADX
so your saying it should read
((X * 0.781) + 8) * 0.1450
Because it doesn't appear to be right when i play the log back
((X * 0.781) + 8) * 0.1450

Re: Equation for PSI value in ADX
well if you want boost psi you will have to minus the atmospheric pressure off of it. so more like (((X * 0.781) + 8) * 0.1450) - 14.50

Re: Equation for PSI value in ADX
this is what I use for a 3 bar map sensor to get boost PSI
X * 0.177 - 14.185
X * 0.177 - 14.185
No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!

Re: Equation for PSI value in ADX
Thats a bit more simple what would you use for a 2bar

Re: Equation for PSI value in ADX
The easiest option (and the best for the least rounding error) is what Jayme suggested. If you want to simplify it the calc is...
2 Bar = (X * 0.113)-13.54
3 Bar = (X * 0.177)-14.381
2 Bar = (X * 0.113)-13.54
3 Bar = (X * 0.177)-14.381

Re: Equation for PSI value in ADX
yeah I only use it with zero decimal place, I don't really care exactly what it is, just want to get an idea of what PSI its running when I change wastegate springs and the like.

Re: Equation for PSI value in ADX
Thanks for that info, I guess I could have worked it out but was a bit unsure what most of the values where for.

Re: Equation for PSI value in ADX
Will certainly be accurate to 1 decimal place
You could also change the calc to reference baro, so you see the true boost pressure.
