Need to find an HP6 or HP6A replacement that has a high flow rate and NO bypass valve. Letting the 30lb. bypass valve in the filter pad do that job. |
Update
I had an HP-6A on backorder from Summit, for a couple months now, and they finally just refunded my money. I guess I'll be running the Moroso filters.

Been using the Wix 51222r's for years and never an issue with anything.

Like your suggestion, but I need to match the HP6A filter (it has a 1 1/2-12 thread). The 1794 has a 1 3/16-16. Damn.

I like the wix and can get them cheaper.
I just cut open a wix R filter on my chevelle ,had 40 miles on it,when I cut it open the top metal that the center tube is glued fell apart,ive never had one do that before,like the glue was bad, I don't think it was loose yet but when I grabbed it to cut the element out of it, The 51222r ive had good luck with,i prob use 8-10 a year on the boat and cut everyone open. ill try and find the picks of the small one that fell apart Rob I would think moroso is made by wix or somebody else,or having it made,I know they repackage alot, what filter does merc use in the 1075 and 1200's????? |
I think i remember the 57003R had a larger micro rating, when I called wix once they said one if for asphalt and the other for dirt track, I've never cut open a 57003,
Ive got a thread on here somewhere with all the specs I found Also when I was researching a fuel water separator high flow w/ a good micron,Wix was going thur there charts and actually told me on a few somebody else made them for them to there specs. http://www.discountfleetsupply.com/wix51222r.html about 14,oo each I know when my buddy at Napa would sell them to me for 11 somthing, he said it showed there cost at 9 something,and I bet they got it cheaper than that,thats just what the manager could see. http://www.discountfleetsupply.com/wix57003r.html |
Anybody have any reservations about the flow change and filtration rating when going to the "R" version? I was using the 51060R which offers 28 gm and 61 microm filtration rating whereas using the 51060 or NAPA Gold 1060 gets you 6-11 gm but at 21 micron. My first reaction was more flow is better but if the filter capacity exceeds the pump capacity why give up filtration? I know the can on the R version looks cool and all but...
Anybody have specs on stock 525 EFI pump capacities? |

Fram HP6A
Wix 51222R Wix 57003R K&N 5001 There is not much info or comparisons on the larger filters, only the 1 quart sizes. Normally, I would lean towards the Wix, but there is no Micron rating on their site. Fram seems to have made some improvements with the HP6A. K&N looks good, but the bypass is a lower 11-17 psi. What's the best filter from the list above? |
I checked what was ran on the race boat. It was a Fram HP6. It is a 1-1/2" 20 micron filter.
