Je m'y connais en ...

I understand that this is an idiomatic phrases that means "I know something about ..." Just curious. How do the reflexive "me" and the preposition "y" refer to or mean? "I am familiar with myself" and "at ... in that area"? The "y" seems redundant since you say "en moteurs" at the end. Why not, "je me connais en moteurs."
