The Bosch SR86X has a higher rating than stock. Kennedy Engineered Products sells one that they make themselves....all new parts instead of the Bosch remans.
Pricey though... |

Hi Tim,
I just got an IMI hi-torque starter from a guy who sells on : www.thesamba.com in the classifieds, do a search for Serrano. It works a lot better than the stock 914 unit. I did have to stretch a hump in the trunk floor to make it fit though. I did not weigh it, but it is smaller, and I think lighter as well. It was $180 delivered. Good luck!

Um.. JOHN... all you have to do is re-clock the starter. We do it all the time. Pull the bolts out of the adapter on the front and re-clock the mount. NO need for metal shaping.
I use the IMI Hi Torque. B |

Hi Brad,
Well duh! Shit, I guess metal stretching is on my mind to the exclusion of the painfully bleeding obvious! Thanks for making me feel like an idiot (insert sheepish yet smily emoticon). John www.ghiaspecialties.com |

Why do you need a hi-torque for a 9 elebin? I bought a 1.5 hp from Oklahoma Foriegn for $ 50.00 out right. They have an over stock and want to move some of them.

One of the mfgrs of the "lightweight, gear reduction" is R&B Performance. It is a Nippondenso with a different nose. I've got a call into him to see if he will sell outright to the club. More tomorrow!

See Fiids thread. There was some info about hi torque starters.
How about Paragon-products. Have you asked them. Somebody recommended them long time ago and they should have hi torque starters. See this link. |

Wasn't there an issue of the "too cheap to be true" ebay starters not fulley disengaging the flywheel without adding a custom spacer? Seems like I remember that from an earlier thread.
