Let's say you need to add fuel. 2 bar means a double shot, 3 bar means a triple shot. Based on how much fuel it takes to get AF ratio at 1 bar.

So... that engine is idling at 22 psi oil pressure at 203°F (hot). That's about right. If it was 37psi hot, it's not at idle.
It's zero bar with the engine off and key in run. It's not being calculated as an absolute.

I have a 13, but my DIC doesn't have all the bells and whistles.


Should I be happy or sad?

I was going to install the 4 gauge pack on my 2014 ,but once you get used to it on the dash between the spedo and tac I have come to like it better then the 4 pack on the console . In the old days I had that on my 1969 Z28 ,and we used to call them crash gauges because you had to look down and right to see them . You try that when your 17 years old drunk and stoned ,and your going to end up in a ditch sooner or later .
