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...:^)
