Universal Helix Air Oil Separator Kit
Universal Kit: Intended for a variety of chassis and DIY fitment. PRL Motorsports and Resellers cannot be held responsible for compatibility or fitment on DIY applications. Please see below for chassis-specific installation kits:
- 2016-2021 Honda Civic 10th Gen (1.5T)
- 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type-R FK8
- 2022+ Honda Civic 11th Gen (1.5T)
- 2018-2023 Honda Accord (2.0T)
- 2023+ Acura Integra (1.5T)
Technical Notes: So, what makes our catch can different? There can�t really be much innovation in a product that�s so commonly sold in the automotive aftermarket, can there? Besides looking into ways to make the AOS universal and easy to maintain as possible, the key was to look outside of our industry and into other applications, where air-oil separation is much more critical to maintaining a healthy system. Specifically, we�ve looked into industrial applications like air conditioning and gas pipelines. This research has led us to design a catch can with a helical cross-section, where some industries report helical oil separators offering 99% to 100% efficiency in oil separation with low pressure drop.
Upon entering the oil separator, the air-oil mixture encounters the leading edge of a helical flighting. The mixture is centrifugally forced down along the spiral path of the helix, causing the heavier oil particles to spin to the perimeter, where it encounters a wall. The separated oil then flows downward along the boundary of the shell through a baffle and into an oil collection reservoir threaded into the bottom of the separator. The specially designed baffle isolates the oil collection and eliminates oil re-entry by stripping excess oil particles from the air and preventing turbulence.
This design is perfect for track users and daily drivers.
