Air oil separator
Anyone using an air oil separator ?
Been reading up on them and they sound like a good bit of kit. I like the idea of it increasing intercooler efficiency by reducing the amount of oil deposited into the intercooler and intake system. And also reducing the likelihood of detonation also. worth doing anyone ? |
|
I'm hearing good things about them. ive read that you need to buy extra bits for them, what bits do you need for them to work don ?.
which brand did you go for ? Perrin sell one. cheers don :thumb: |
https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/sho....php?t=2227424 This and the similar Prova version appear to be discontinued. Nearest to it would be the Grimspeed or you are looking at a catch can |
Cheers buddy I'll take a look

I have one ready to fit, albeit with a front mount. When you connected the crank breather did you leave the PCV connected to the crank breather or not?

Yes, just cap the connection to the turbo inlet pipe.

The crank breather tees so one pipe goes to the inlet pipe and the other goes to the PCV screwed in the back of the inlet - are you saying you disconnected both...

Cheers, I was looking at deleting the PCV; I know the car ran with it un-plumbed for a while until I spotted the hose was disconnected but I'm not sure how the car will run with the valve removed from the inlet. It needs remapping anyway with the other changes I've made...

I just prefer a baffled catch can interrupting the normal lines back to the turbo intake pipe. I've always run two, one for the heads which always remains dry, the crankcase one is always dry, road and track but takes oil on launch starts at the Pod.

Is it bad making that it return into oil cap , is it contaminated oil?

All you are doing is removing the oil droplets formed in the crankcase air volume, above the oil level, by the rotating elements and any oil being sprayed about for cooling. Returning to the sump or collecting externally is better than burning it (unless you are in F1 ;) ) |
Thanks Don how long have you had it fitted , I'm very interested as its cheap and simply install with less hoses did you get it from America?

Since fitting, oil consumption almost zero and intercooler internals remain clean. http://clarkdh.net23.net/images/TomiokaRacingAOS.JPG It's listed on the TR US site but afaik it is discontinued https://www.tomiokaracing.com/produc...tor-for-subaru same goes for the Prova version https://www.rallysportdirect.com/par...-oil-separator |

Found it 5days left on auction

I've got a perrin ready to go on, but I'm slightly concerned about it clearing the strut bar and still being high enough to drain.

I'm about to pull the plug on this one
https://www.vipmotorsport.co.uk/shop...-Separator-AOS I appreciate it's expensive but from the research i've done it seems to be one of the best out there, VIP Motorsport are doing a black friday at the min with 10% off so it brings the price down a bit, any thoughts ? |
where does it mount? only one id seen that like before was the crawfords one and it was LHD car fitment
i sure as hell wouldnt be paying £480 for one, youd be better off with a catch can setup or a oil filler mounted AOS for like a quarter of the cost. i run a filler mounted AOS with the return plumbed into a small catch can soley in case of surge |

Hi Gambit
Thanks for the photos, yeh the IAG one with being made for the US market so is designed for left hand drive vehicles, it's just the mounting bracket that needs adjusting apparently, VIP motorsport who are based near Ellesmere Port said that Chevron Motorsport who will be working on my car soon have fitted several of these, yeh it is expensive i agree. I'm not sure i could fit what you have in that same location as i have a large aftermarket overflow tank in that area, you'll see the yellow cap in the pic where it is. Before i pull the plug on it i'll speak with Simon at Chevron to see what he suggests. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...2f30d59d6a.jpg |

Good idea :) id say a decent catch can setup even with a return to sump will be money wiser spent |
RCM Track Attack would be far better / cheaper option...........
