To settle a bet between my brother and I,Would carburators and fuel injected both be considered naturally aspirated

 

[thump_rrr]

No it's not.

Fuel injection is a type of fuel delivery system as opposed to carburetion.

Naturally asperated means that the air is naturaaly drawn into the engine as opposed to forced induction such as supercharging or turbocharging.

A carburated car can be naturally aspirated and a fuel injected car can be naturally aspirated. Both typically come that way from your dealer. As Thump_rrr says, once you start forcing air into the engine by whatever means, then they are no longer naturally aspirated.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!


They are both naturally aspirated engines. It matters not how the fuel is introduced. Add a supercharger or turbocharger and they are called 'forced induction'.

A naturally aspirated engine (NA - aspiration meaning breathing) refers to an internal combustion engine (normally gas or diesel powered) that is neither supercharged or turbocharged.

Air or fuel-air mixture is forced into the cylinders by natural atmospheric pressure upon opening of the intake valves.
Meaning.... naturally aspirated

Yes. Both would be considered Naturally Aspirated engines.

Assuming there is no forced induction installed (i.e. s/c, turbo), that would be correct.

i concur with red, fast, and fin. they are both naturally aspirated. naturally aspirated means that the engine draws in air on its own. no external devices are used to force more air into the engine. (eg: supercharger, turbo, or NOS) think about it. the word. ASPIRATED. root word - aspirate - look it up. probably says something like "to take in or inhale." has to do with air, such as breathing it. now how could that have a damn thing to do with fuel delivery? dont you as a human aspirate (breathe) air? (Note: if your breathing in fuel, start a thread on it and we will try to find a "professional" to help you:winks )



if your still not convinced then someone

I Misread the question,

I could have sworn it said carbeuretion and forced induction.

By definition, yes they are both considered NA.
