How does the 1334 have a have a higher flow rate than the 51182(bigger) but they both have the same nominal micron rating?

The only way I'd ever go oversize is if the gasket sizes were exactly the same such as a Wix 51040 and Wix 51036.

In my case it still seals. Look very closely.

EDIT: Wix 51040 and 51036 DONOT have the correct thread that you selected.

Not for you, but for me they do.

I'd be concerned about the higher bypass on the 51182.

but what about the lower bypass on the 51334?

What is the OEM filter's spec? I would take this comparison test a bit further and actually test the OEM filter from a few popular applications, just to give us more info about which filter to select.

It's also technically smaller from what I've calculated. I wonder how that is achieved...?

IIRC, the OP mentioned in another thread that the 51334 was the OEM spec'd filter for his Honda van. Using a filter with more than double the spec'd bypass settings might starve the engine of oil in higher RPM situations.

The bypass setting on the larger one you originally posted is double the 1334, that's a deal breaker right there IMO. I tried that once and had rattle and running issues.

If you have the room, see if a Baldwin B7042 will fit. That is the filter I've used on my Honda S2000 for 100k miles. It will flow more oil than stock and filter the oil better too, its a very good filter.
Here are some pic's of the Baldwin, Honda and Wix filters that came off of other S2000 cars.
