Gene Kearns:
If it has a blower (supercharger) or turbocharger it is not naturally aspirated. Wayne.B: but "naturally aspirated" 2 stroke Detroit Diesels are commonly understood to be without a turbocharger since all DDs have a blower just to move air into the cylinders. Okay, I think I'm gettin' it now. I was thinking the DD "blower" was just another term for "supercharger" but it's not. The "blower" just provides the normal air pressure required to run the engine (other 2 stroke designs do the same thing with crankcase vacuum/pressure). But a "supercharger" would provide more than that. An extra (super) boost so to speak. Thus the use of separate terminology. Izat about right? Rick |
