I was checking out Baldwin and FG variants having thread M20X1.5 and i noticed that some have 5 holes on top and some have 8. Most of them have 19 or 20 PSID and thread is m20x1.5. Question is, Does the number of holes on top cause any incompatibility issues with a car? More holes better flow or not?
Heres a few i noticed:
B1446 - 5 top holes, 3.8in, 20 psid
LF3528 - 8 top holes, 4.15 in, 19.5 psid
B109 - 5 top holes, 5.833, 20 psid
LF3433 - 5 holes, 5.35in, 19 psid
B7243 - 7 top holes, 3.5 in, 20 psid
B1402 - 8 holes, 4in, 14 psid
B1400 - 8 holes, 3in, 14 psid
some friends of mine have been requesting for longer filters for their rides but arent available so i figured why not use the ones compatible with other cars like the one for the isuzu, its longer, same thread pattern, same PSID, only difference is the number of top holes. Can you use those instead?
