Ballistic Oil Filter

[Scott_Higashi@el.nec.com]

I have an additional anecdote of blowing oil filters...

I was at the KAS house a couple of years back and I was "gifted" an SR20DE
Nissan oil filter...  Well, you know what they say about gift horses?  I
was on my
third run (out of five) at an autocross as the daylight was waning when I
went into
a nasty spin.   WTF!!!  "That was strange..."  Straighten everything up and
go
again, only to spin again... It was only then I noticed the sea of red
flags and
SMOKE coming out from my car...

Yes, be careful about putting B14 filters on the B13 SR20...

I shut down the event for the day and everyone in that run group got $10
off of their
next event because of me!  Later that year I spun a rod bearing at
Thunderhill due
damage I suspect was done while at 6000 RPM with no oil pressure...

YMMV...:^)
