oil filter
 

i've read somewhere that stock filter will flow 10 gpm, and b16 on 7000 rpms needs about 17 gpm. i just boughtoil filter for my honda legend 92 coupe, and it seems similar but larger. does some1 know will it fit and will it work good on b16?

personally i would keep things the way they should be.what advantage would it make,probably not much.disadvantages,could be critical :-\.

I would just use the b16 filter. I don't know where you got the specs, but i think honda knows what they are doing and i'd stick with the correct filter for the motor.

its not like you spend a minute at 7k anyway

Re:oil filter
 

when oil filter cant handle oil flow it opens and unfiltered oil will come into engine. that is bad. i just think that legends filter can flow more than civics.

Re:oil filter
 

I dont think honda would design a system that would starve the motor for oil.. get a delsol vtec oil filter and be done w/ it :)

larger = lower psi too dont forget.

Why is this even a question. Trust honda, they built the thing. If you read the oil flow specs officially from Honda, then sure change the filter, but then it would be a service bulliten.
