Air oil separator instead of a catch can?

[dlow]

Anyone have any experience with air oil separators? I know AOS systems are very popular with the WRX guys. Does anyone make such a thing for the 3.5l EB?

I am sitting waiting for real evidence in the way of pictures of the valves at 50k miles.

Only then if a real problem exists will i consider a add on unit.

My guess is a spray can of cleaner every 10k miles is also a solution, other turbo cars use that method. Way way less expensive over the 200,000 miles I will run my truck.

I'm running one, but not because i'm worried about oil "damaging" the engine. ANY oil that ends up in the combustion chamber lowers the effective octane of gasoline. When you're tuned for 93 and heading to mexico, any octane advantage that can be created ( i.e. doing everything possible to keep oil out of where it shouldn't be) is a smart one.

Driving it daily, scooting around town, not so necessary. ( especially if you are not attempting to turn up the wick on your motor)

I have a Moroso air/oil separator with catch can on my 6.2L GEN1.
It is very effective and well designed.
I checked the Moroso site for you to see if they have one for the 3.5L EB.
Not yet.

You won't see any valve coking like the first gen ecoboost. The dual setup actually washes the valves fine. The oil separator does functionality work effectively at keeping oil out of the intercooler though.

Our customers have really like the UPR catch cans we sell. They work very well and look great in the engine bay. Message me for pricing

Not sure if this is what you are referring to or not. If so then I run one of my Raptor, as I did with my GT500.

It’s a little right but fits ok.

I am pretty much in agreement. In theory...i understand why it is said direct injection needs a catch can. But if it were that big of a problem, designers from ford, audi, vw, or any other direct injected set up would have included one if it solved the problem.

This is primarily to keep oil from accumulating in the intercooler. It is not meant for anything related to the valves on the gen 2 3.5 ecoboost.

You all know what she’s thinking right?
