naturally aspirated
No forced induction
Naturally aspirated describes an engine that draws air into its cylinders through atmospheric pressure alone, without turbochargers or superchargers to force more air in.
The term distinguishes conventional engines from boosted ones: a naturally aspirated V8, The purists prefer naturally aspirated motors for their linear throttle response.
Often shortened to NA or N/A in automotive contexts.
