Ive been told that N/A includes all bolt-ons, h/c and N2O.

All-motor, as far as I know, is exactly that, all-motor. All bolt-ons, h/c, and thats it.

Can anyone correct me if Im wrong?

 

It's my opinion (and understanding) that n/a means "naturally aspirated". That would not include nitrous because of all the extra oxygen introduced. So "n/a" and "all motor" are the same.

 

i was informed that nitrous oxide was still 'naturally aspirating' the engine since all its doing is adding fuel/N2O to the naturally inducted air. maybe i was misinformed...

 

exactly....it's the exact same thing. You'll probably hear more old-school hotrodders saying "all motor" and the new kiddos saying "naturally aspirated"...

 

"N/A", to me, is speaking of 'naturally aspirated' induction. all-motor, to me, is just talking about the motor itself and has nothing to do with the induction. simply adding N2O and fuel to one's air induction, I was told, is still "N/A"

 

I was under the impression that anything considered a "power adder" distinquished N/A or other. Supercharger,Turbocharger, OR Nitrous. H/C and any other engine specific "bolt-ons" would be considered N/A. The other three would not. Just my opinion though.

 

well, the general concensus is, that n/a and all motor are the same thing. i see what you are saying but, everyone uses them both to mean the same thing.

 

ok cool. thanks guys!

Do you read hotrodgossip?

 

[QUOTE=Rpm280]who?

 

N/A = everthing but forced induction (n20 is still N/A)
All Motor = no F/I and no N20

 

Is this your opinion or did you read it somewhere?

 

No, thats pretty much it and what everyone goes by. N/A is all motor periode. w/ no power and this includes N2o

 

Ah. May wanna tell everyone else who posted here

 

N/A is the same thing as all motor AFAIK.

N2O adds more oxygen... but then so does a SC or turbo. So N2O, blower and turbos do not qualify as NA in my book.
