Oil Filter Thread

I have about a 1,000 hours and a little over $4,000 into building it,lol. It's a routed track that's fully computor controlled,and times down to 0.001.The track is wired for brakes and has a 10 amp power supply on each lane.

Nice, nice, (1) serious Hobby there. I got a chuckle seeing the old Compaq there also.

how many holes on those filters?

6 big ones

I built it back in 2010 and 2011,and used an old computor for it,lol. It doesn't need much computor ,so i've never even thought about upgrading it,lol

If'n yer counting holes, measure the diameter too. Then calculate the open flow area. Area of circle is pi*r**2 or more simply (pi/4)*d**2

pi = 3.14

It's not exactly equivalent because fewer, larger holes are better because they induce less oil flow restriction around the hole circumference edges. But that's just for CFD a*n*a*l types.

Same theory applies to exhaust systems,a big single system has more area then a smaller dual exhaust and will flow more air. I'd rather have 6 bigger holes ,then 8 smaller holes in the filter,lol

With the wix xp it has holes in the centertube so you can see if the one your buying on the shelf still has the wire backed microglass media despite what tje box says

Yeah, it's more than theory too, as we know. Fluid flow mechanics is well documented via testing results.

Long tube headers being the exception cause exhaust is pulses, not constant flow like gerotor oil pumps are for oil.
