High Torque Starter Question...

[guru]

I installed this starter and to be honest I do not see any 'improvement'. I am expecting the engine to start quicker than withe the Bosch startser, but its the same time if not longer. There are times when I know it defnitely takes longer to start than it used to with the Bosch. I would think that being high-torque means that it would start the engine quicker. I have it installed on an 82 911 SC

The Hi-Torque starter turns the engine over quicker, is lighter, and is more powerful than the 30+ year old design of the original Bosch starter. Just because the starter turns the engine over quicker, doesn't mean that the car will actually start faster. You need spark and fuel combined with compression and timing in order to start the engine. If the fuel system is taking it's time to get the proper fuel into the combustion chamber, than the problem lies there - not with the actual starter that turns the engine over.
