Air Oil Separation Explained
Air Oil Separation for Subaru Engines
Subaru has long been known for its boxer engines. However, these engines require a little extra care and attention to keep them running smoothly and maintain maximum power output. An important part of that care is using an Air Oil Separator. In this email, we'll explain what an Air Oil Separator is, why it's important for Subaru engines, and why the Killer B Motorsport Air Oil Separator is the best choice for your car.
What is an Air Oil Separator?
In layman's terms, an Air Oil Separator (or AOS) is a device that separates oil from the air that passes through the engine. This helps to prevent oil from entering the intake system, lowering your octane level and causing problems down the line. Here's how it works:
• Blow by gases mixed with oil from your valve covers and crankcase are vented into the AOS .
• A conventional separator relies on expansion, baffles, or media, that slows the air down, allowing oil to condense and drop out of the mixture. These types can increase crankcase pressure.
• Our AOS is a little different; more about that later. The oil is then collected, or drained back to the crankcase, leaving the remaining air to travel back through the intake or in some instances vented to atmosphere.
Why Does an Engine Need an Air Oil Separator?
Subaru engines are notorious for producing excess oil in the intake system. A condition known as “blow by” is created when the compression level in the cylinder is high; which is intensified under high performance conditions or when using a turbocharger
• Increased carbon buildup, which can reduce engine performance and longevity.
• Contamination of the intercooler, and turbo compressor can cause a loss of power and fuel economy.
• Lowering of potential octane can increase the probability of experiencing engine knock. Engine knock is VERY detrimental and can lead to engine failure.
Using an Air Oil Separator can help to mitigate these issues by removing excess oil from the air before it enters the intake system. This can lead to improved engine performance, better fuel economy, and longer engine life.
Many high end cars come from the factory with a factory AOS. Porsche 911, M-Series BMW, Mercedes AMGs, RS-Series Audi, and other higher end turbo sports cars. A Subaru is just built with a different budget that does not include crankcase gas management.
How Does the Killer B Motorsport Air Oil Separator Work?
The Killer B Motorsport Air Oil Separator is designed specifically for Subaru engines and is the best choice for anyone looking to improve their engine's performance and longevity. Here's how it works:
• The Air Oil Separator features a design that ensures maximum oil separation efficiency and no restriction to the intake air flow.
• The separator is made from high-quality materials that are both durable and lightweight, ensuring that it will last for the life of your car.
• The Killer B Motorsport Air Oil Separator is easy to install and comes with everything you need to get started, including detailed instructions and all necessary hardware.
Our AOS is unique in that it uses a Variable Vortex, which causes varying flow velocities. The advantage of that is improved separation efficiency over a much larger gas flow range. Other AOSs' may claim they use a Vortex, but their cylindrical shape and internal baffles slow the flow of gas, and rely on the gases impacting baffles for separation.
