size diff. between HAMP filter and RYCO Filter.

my *problem* was that once i installed the 19 row oil cooler, the oil cooler lines, the oil filter reolocator, my peak oil pressure dropped to 70-75PSI above 3000rpm... wheras it sat on 80-82PSI prior to the installation.

by fitting the newer smalll type of oil filter, i improved it back upto around 79-80PSI peak oil pressure.

filter with less "total filtrate area" would result in less head loss (aka pressure loss, cause some pressure is used to push the oil tru the filter), assuming the smaller filter has less filtrate area. well, that is my understanding from the fluid mechanics class þ..

BTW, hope you passed your fluid mechanics class. Larger surface area means less pressure drop. Think of 10 people trying to get through a single door at the same time in a rush. Then compare that with 10 people and double doors.
