HAMP or O.E.M oil filters.


Always use hamp when i can. There was a thread where someone tested them all the hamp one came out to hold a slighlty higher oil pressure throughout the system.
 
much of the same to be honest mate.

I've used and sold both and i honestly can't see any difference in them.
 
I have used all 3, s2000, OEM, and HAMP, all are great.
I did notice that the s2000 filter has a smoother VTEC transition which leads me to think that it runs at a "tad" lower pressure over OEM, not by much tho.
 
strange they say s2000 filter keep higher oil pressure per rev range
a oil pressure gauge would help..

...may be true, but the s2000 filter has a larger capacity which would mean it would take longer to get to that pressure over a smaller filter. this may be what I am feeling. Oil pressure gauge is on the way.
 
I only use Honda ones.

I know thatr they are tested up to 15000 rpm so good enough for me
 
Always used normal sized HAMP filters

However recently been able to get a box of the short jap HAMP ones (things are tiny) and it holds about an extra 3-4psi oil pressure :nice:
 
I'd use either Hamp or OEM. There probably the exact same filter anyway.

Wheres your contact for getting a hold of these:naughty:
 
I'd still use either, there both good filters at the end of the day..
 
hamp = honda aftermarket parts
we also know oem parts are top quality

''Sent an email response to the guys at Endyne concerning my original email about the S2000 filter:

"Thank you for the reply.
I have read that the S2000 filter will actually help to increase the oil pressure by ~10psi. I have already shimmed my y8's oil pump with a 0.030" washer to increase it by ~20psi.
If I were to use the S2000 oil filter and subsequently add an additional ~10psi for a total of ~30psi over stock, should I be concerned for potential problems? (ie. blown out seals?)
Thanks again for your help."

Got this reply:

"Oil filters only affect pressure because of the pressure-drop (or drag) created by their elements. Small filters, typically are more restrictive, and they tend to reduce pressure because of the pressure drop. Larger filters (like the S2K units) have more filter area, and cause less restriction (pressure drop), and therefore, the pressure you read may be higher than you'd see with the smaller filter.
All Honda engines came equipped with the larger S2K filters until 2002. The small filters came into existence due to space constraints with the later Honda engines installed in later model chassis, and Honda made the decision to switch everything except the S2K engines to the new smaller filters because it saved them money.
The D series engine I ran in my Civic from 1996 to 2006 had over 100psi cold oil pressure, and 85psi at 3KRPM and above (hot), and there were no ill effects. We run over 100psi hot on all the TSX road racing engines we build for Honda R&D, and there are no ill-effects....

Looks like the S2000 is bigger and I don't have to worry about my oil pressure ''
