Alex Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 My Rbrr co driver is looking for a high torque starter for his 2000.Can anyone point us in the direction of something suitable that can be made to fit please?Seems daft spending more of his money than I need too 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 The originals work perfectly ok when in decent condition....... Isuzu Trooper 2.6 from the mid 80s was the one that fitted more or less straight on. Probably not so easy to find now.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 Nick, he’s just bought a witor extractor so I believe space is compromised?Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also went to school with one of the directors.A very good company to use Cheers, Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velocita Rosso Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Philip has a standard starter on his `2000`....and its a V8A few myths about Hi torques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 Space is the issue I believe Mike when fitting the extractor manifold..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 IIRC there is room even for the larger pre-engaged version - when it's in place - it's getting it in and out that's the tricky bit. The inertia ones are easier but not sure which saloons they were fitted to - if any?Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzer Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I still use the original inertia starter on my rally 2000, lighter than the pre engaged and starts my hi compression lump. You can easily get them on and off with the extractor manifold. Ive been through three in just over ten years. Dont usually fail just get a bit sluggish and draw too much current when they're on the way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzer Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 You also have to use the correct spacer with them. There is a selection of profiles. There are some poor quality starters for sale. I get mine from http://www.woodauto.com always been good quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Alex/Nick,I have a inertia starter on my saloon that has a Phoenix 6>3>1 manifold on and yes, one has to take the exhaust off to get the started in/out.My GT6 has a Japanese starter and a Pheonix 6>3>1 manifold and it is poss to wriggle the starter in/out.What ever type NIck uses, make sure he heat insulates the starter wiring.Have a look at the Canley site, Dave used to do a kit to convert most Japanese starters.

Nick Jones Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I think the Canley kit is long gone unfortunately. People weren't sending the exchange parts back IIRC.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRooster Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Have Canley set up & certainly helped with a new tight engine. Also have a Denso i bought off the internet which looks identical but turns the other way!Thats free to anyone who wants it if i can find it.RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That runs the wrong way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
