Xeryon Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Anything N/A should out-live forced induction. The N/A was designed that way from the ground up, the F/I was not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hapkidokid82 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 so u would go with the swap then eh?? plus by N/A u mean not applicable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 N/A = naturally aspirated Meaning no turbo. As my professor used to say, "Be more acronymble!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Lol N/A is indeed Naturally Aspirated F/I is Forced Induction (turbo and supercharger) Most stock cars are N/A. Maybe about 5% have a factory turbo (like VWs) or a supercharger (Buicks) but the term N/A is generally associated with an engine that has been modified internally to increase compression to increase power without the need for externally applied compression increasers.

hapkidokid82 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 oh okay sounds good,.. I think i'll pick up the b16a2 then instead of turboing,, unless u know of another motor that's a fairly simple swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
