WOSP Lightweight High Torque Starter Motor - Ford Duratec - Super Duty - Denso Type 1.4Kw Output

The WOSP Lightweight High Torque Starter Motor is a meticulously engineered unit designed to deliver consistently reliable starting performance for demanding applications, particularly those involving high-performance and high-compression Ford Duratec engines. This starter motor represents a significant advancement in cranking power and electrical efficiency, built upon established Original Equipment (OE) platforms to ensure both durability and compatibility.

This Super Duty starter is not simply an upgrade; it’s a re-engineered component addressing the limitations of standard starters when faced with increased engine demands. It achieves this through a combination of intelligent design features and high-quality materials, resulting in a unit that excels in motorsport environments and challenging road applications alike.

Key Features & Technical Specifications:

• Gear Reduction Drive: The core of this starter’s enhanced performance lies within its gear reduction drive system. This mechanism effectively amplifies torque output, capable of delivering up to twice the cranking power compared to conventional starters. This is crucial for reliably initiating combustion in high-compression engines where increased resistance demands greater starting force.
• Reduced Current Draw: Engineered for efficiency, this starter motor consumes up to 50% less current than standard units. This lower amperage draw reduces the load on the vehicle’s electrical system – including the battery and wiring harness – minimising potential voltage drops and improving overall system reliability. It also allows continued operation with existing wiring configurations in many applications.
• Lightweight Construction: Weight is a critical factor in performance vehicles. This starter motor utilises weight-saving materials throughout its construction, achieving up to a 50% reduction in mass compared to OE counterparts. This contributes positively to vehicle weight distribution and overall handling characteristics.
• 360° Rotational Mounting: Installation flexibility is paramount. The fully adjustable mounting system allows for infinite rotational positioning on its axis. This feature simplifies installation within the often-confined spaces of performance engine bays, accommodating custom setups and challenging geometries.
• Enhanced Heat Resistance: Prolonged cranking cycles or operation in high ambient temperatures can lead to heat soak, diminishing starter motor performance. This unit is designed with enhanced thermal management properties, minimising the risk of heat-related issues and maintaining consistent functionality even under extreme conditions.
• High Vibration Tolerance: Motorsport environments are inherently demanding, subjecting components to significant vibration stresses. This starter motor has been specifically engineered to withstand these harsh operating conditions, ensuring long-term durability and reliability.
• OE-Based Platform: Constructed utilising OE specifications where applicable, this starter benefits from the proven reliability and compatibility of original equipment designs. This approach ensures a secure fitment and predictable performance characteristics.
• Fully Serviceable Design: Unlike many modern starters, this unit is designed with serviceability in mind. Internal components are accessible for inspection, maintenance, and rebuild, extending the motor’s lifespan and providing a cost-effective long-term solution.

The WOSP starter delivers a substantial increase in cranking torque without compromising electrical system integrity. The reduction in current draw is particularly beneficial for vehicles with upgraded audio systems or other high-demand electrical accessories.

Compatibility: This unit is specifically designed for Ford Duratec engines and utilises the Denso Type starter configuration, ensuring a direct fitment in compatible applications. It’s suitable for both naturally aspirated and forced induction setups.

Warranty Information: This WOSP Lightweight High Torque Starter Motor is supplied with a comprehensive 12-month manufacturer's warranty, providing assurance of quality and performance.
