    Default What makes a car N/A?

    Ive heard alot about cars running times and saying that they are a N/A V6 ect. But what makes them this way? Is it after you cam the motor its no longer N/A?

    Not an important question but im just curious.

    No form of forced induction as far as I know.

    Turbo or supercharger. - Or that Ebay gay electric blower thingo.

    ah now i get it. I thought N/A was completely stock, lookin at 0-100 in 5 second times in a v6 made me sweat a bit! Now it makes sense, thanks guys

    Good point - but no cigar.

    No longer just natural air and fuel going in - so I'd say no.

    But on the other hand..... No the gas bottle adds pressure to force it in

    In ANDRA's eyes, Yes.

    In my eyes, defintely Yes.

    It is doing exactly the same thing a turbo or supercharger would, adding more oxygen to the cylinder to allow you to inject more fuel, to create more bang.
    And for trivial purposes or before someone asks, Nitrous is NOT FLAMMABLE on its' own! It is an oxidiser.
    So you can have an engine to compete in two different classes simply by activating/deactivating a bottle. great stuff.

    N/A = Naturally aspirated.
    ENGINES NOT N/A ARE FORCED INDUCTED E.G TURBO OR SUPERCHARGER
