J Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 na is naturally aspirated, meaning no turbo or supercharger the engine sucks the air in as it needs it. Turbo is pretty much a air compressor, it compresses the air and shoves it into the engine, thus making more power, along with added fuel that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbird232 Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 The turbo is powered by exhaust gases from the motor, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospeeder Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Turbo has a wheel, that one end spins from exhaust gas, and the other end spins, and compresses the air, (explains the whole thing in the Turbo Grand Prix Manal, even a little picture, lol) and a supercharger is belt drivin, and it compresses the air, using the accesory drive from the motor, its provides instant power, but its boost ability is limited, while turbos are only limited by the amount of exhaust the engine produces and the size of the turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john99gtp Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 ahh, but superchargers can raise the boost by adding on a smaller pulley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbtk2 Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 ahh, but superchargers can raise the boost by adding on a smaller pulley And turbo's can raise the boost by restricting the vacuum to the wastegate. It takes much less time than swapping pullies and you can control it more precisely. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TurboSedan Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 nitrous is basically chemical supercharging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFromColorado Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 if you add Nitrous to your car, it's no longer naturally aspirated, because it will not be aspirating natural air... (see how that works) allowing the engine to directly (or indirectly thru the air filter) see ambient air, you have a naturally aspirated engine, as soon as you add a supercharger, turbocharger, E-ram, Nitrous, or any other type of "power adder" to the air intake system, you now have a non-naturally aspirated engine. --Dave.
