I'm ultimately looking to do a 4 to 6 upgrade, on my '75 2.0, bearing this in mind I'm looking at the best way of sorting the below.
Currently I'm having issues with my starter motor and alternator that require them being reconditioned, replaced or upgraded. I think I'm right in saying that a useful upgrade is to replace the existing starter with a 911 unit - does anyone know the part number for this unit? Is it also possible to upgrade the alternator in anyway to a 911 unit or is it not compatible with a type 4. Thanks Crawf |

On my old 911 and my current 914, I went to the SR68X ("Carrera") starter with an Optima red-top batttery. Cleaned up / replaced all the ground points and the main + cable(s).
Wow, night and day difference. The mild hot-start problems completely disappeared. Now the car cranks like a banshee and fires immediately. Dash lights and headlights are nice and bright too -- good grounds and a fresh optima make a big difference. |
