I was thinking of maybe buying the small versoin. That being said, would raising oil pressure help at a road course? Any personal experiences?

 

I'm using the small Hamp filters.

No problems... no oil pressure numbers (yet).

 

Thanks for the quick response. Now, is there ANY downfall for these filters?

I dont think so... Mike @ IPS recommended the smaller filter, he said there's a slight increase in oil pressure with them over the larger HAMP filter.

 

Correct, hence why I asked this, " would raising oil pressure help at a road course"? Would the motor run hotter or be under more stress? Any input on that?

 

Just bought one today, Ill be testing it out this weekend at the track.
I hope there isnt any "downfalls".

 

The higher pressure is better especially for the track. That is why Honda switched all of their normal oil filters over to the smaller size.

Does this mean that all the 'small' Honda OE replacement filters deliver a pressure increase equivelant to the rumored Hamp bump?

 

yup the oem oil filters are the same size as the Hamp ones now.

10 for $125? Not a deal by any means, considering Password JDM and IPS sell them for $6-$7...

I love my Hamp filters. I've noticed that my oil actually stays cleaner longer. It's crazy, I've used them the past 3-4 oil changes, and since then, my oil looks almost new even after 2,000 miles. It used to turn black and gross long before then when I was using other filters. I can't believe it, considering my car has nearly 130K on the stock B18A...

Whether they do anything great for oil pressure remains to be seen, but I gurantee that they improve oil quality in your engine.

No offense, but - http://ipsracing.com/engine/fl....html

 

none taken but if you add the cost of shipping per unit i am sure it will more than likely be pretty close

 

Doesnt cost anywhere close to $45 to ship 10 oil filters. Maybe $6-$8.

 

I got one for free as a grab bag gift last Christmas, never thought twice about it really. It sits on my shelf next to a load of P1 filters in the original size. I never found any conclusive evidence strongly for or against the smaller HAMP filter, I might try it out just for the hell of it, but I wouldn't go looking to buy it.

I read here: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/ back when Honda started to discontinue the original stock size filter that the P1 filters had favorable reviews so I grabbed enough to get me through a season and that's what I currently have stuck on there.

HAMP is good stuff though.

 

I have never seen/heard of Hamp filters. anyone cue me in?

 

Click the link I posted

 

ok ips sells them for 8 i fyou buy more than five, password jdm doesn't sel them at all. just scoured their site.

i said pretty close like in handgrenades, horseshoes and volleyball. not exactly the same as identical, now is it.

 

well why would you buy from ips when you can buy em at the dealer....the oem are the same size now right? so whats the diff?

 

stronger casing, better seals, nmore pleats in the filter, m,ore perferations inthe inner filter wall, the same check release valve system and a magnet to attract metal particals inteh oil.

honda filters have a lighter casing, less quality on the seals and rubber used, and do not have as many pleats.

Hamp filters are provided as stock units onoem JDM type r and S model hondas. the other trim levels get a standard honda filter.

that should be enough info. . . .

$60 shipped for 10 small Hamp filters sounds like a better deal than $125 shipped...

 

Damn thats a smokin deal. I'll order some up Thanks!

 

You're telling me! You'd be hard pressed to get an OEM filter at the dealer for that much.

But are you sure you don't want to pay double that just for fun?

 

au-gsr, Where can I find evidence for this info? Don't take it the wrong way, it's just that often info on the web is not very reliable. I hope all that is true, I'll buy some more for my next oil change. In any case, I've used them before too, about 6-8 times. Both large and small. Don't have any info on oil pressure either, but I tracked the car with the small ones.

Also, does anyone know if HAMP filters have synthetic or paper based filtering media? I even asked one of the vendors once and he couldn't tell me for sure.
I thought HAMP stood for Honda After Market Products or something of that sort. I read (on the web) that Spoon uses the small ones on their track cars, but I had no idea they came stock on some of the JDM cars.

bingo, just picked up 20 of them today at 4$ a piece

they switched it to the K20a series sized filters.

 

i thought HAMP products were created as an alternative to expensive OEM parts in other countries? I am 75% sure i read that on a foreign HAMP webpage. Anyone else have any info on this. Also, the s2000 filter is the same as the fat hamp filter if anyone cares.
