wut does N\A stand for?

im a noob =]

naturally aspirated, no turbo charger, super charger. basically any engine with no forced induction.

non-alcoholic?

the first reply is the correct one...just incase you were still wondering. lol

I've been kinda confused on how you guys use this term:

When you say naturally aspirated, do you mean all motor as well? as in no nitrous? Cause ive read in some places they say naturally aspirated and have nitrous mentioned :screwy:

well i was going to say no nitrous but then i thought the very same thing, technically N/A just means no forced induction but i think the term is commonly used interchangeably with all motor but that is one for the experts, anyone?

dont hold me to this but i remeber reading somewere that N2o was forced induction sence it 'forces' more air in than would normally be attainable because it makes the air really fucking cold. and to the best of my knowlage there are no all-motor cars that use N2o... all-motor means that the power is produced BY THE MOTOR and not by the use of other hardware to influence the amount of air that can be injested or the amount of power that can be created... and wouldn't N2o be hardware?!

i could be wrong... i guess i realy didn't help this post much lol.

^^^he is write.

n20 is its own form of fi.

when it is heated to a certain point(about 500 degrees f), it decomposes into nitrogen and oxygen, thus creating more oxygen for more fuel which = more power. so it is adding more oxygen to an engine which normally wouldnt have it. it also cools the intake air when it vaporizes, which allows for more air to be stuffed into the engine.

It is not forced inducted. it is just jucied. the n2o just cools the fuel air mixture making it burn hotter longer and more complete. The n2o is still being pulled in with the vacum of the engine. Not by being pushed in.


N/A can also mean not avalible

Thanks for using n2o not nawws

yeah, i guess its not really FI, but it does allow for more air to enter the engine, it just doesnt "push" it in. but most everyone will agree nitrous tuning is different from all motor tuning(or n/a tuning)

Shut the hell up, I guess your gas is being sucked from the INJECTORS too huh? N2o is indeed forced in, under pressure from the bottle, through noozles, which are opened by a solenoid. Can we thin the gene pool a little more, please?

Nitrous is forced induction, whether it is under boost, blown or sprayed anytime you add more than an engine can ingest on it's own, you are FORCING it to use more air.

Makes sense...does nitrous actually increase the manifold pressure?

I'd say no, since it reacts to heat and expands in the cylinder.

N20 is not forced induction (IMHO) since it is simply another fuel, like alchohol or diesel. N20 just burns a lot fast and has other properties that preoduce more power than gasoline can. For arguements sake, an engine could be developed and tuned to run purely on N20 but needless to say it wouldn't last too long. That said, because "N/A" and "all motor" are very often used interchangably and they both refer to an engine running a common fuel such as gasoline or diesel, i would say that an engine running N20 should not be considered an N/A engine but strictly speaking there is no COMPRESSOR forcing more AIR into the engine. but thats just my opinion (open to revising)

Jesus, where do these people come from?

Let me make it simple for you fucktards. Naturally Aspirated means when I motor is making power from it's own power.

Let me give you an metaphor if I may, imagine you're walking down the street, and you run into me in a dark alley. I have a leaf blower in my hands and I cram it in your mouh and turn it on, this would be say the equivolent of a turbo, or a supercharger. Now imagine I have an oxygen tank with a hose, and I cram it through your chest directly into your lungs, this would be sort of like n2o. You are being FORCED to consume more air, hence the term forced induction. Ant further discussion about your dumbass theories should be directed to the business end of a shotgun by placing it in your mouth and pulling the trigger.

HAHAHAHAHA!, damn jcrx, that was some funny shit!

Nitrous is a different form of forced induction, but it is forced induction. This thread should have died with the very clear first reply. I don't know why people have to overanalyze so much..

jcrx, u are a funny fuck!
