WOSP Lightweight High Torque Starter Motor - Fiat Uno/Strada/X/19 / Lancia Delta - Denso Type 1.0Kw Output
The WOSP lightweight high torque starter motor is engineered to deliver significantly enhanced cranking performance, particularly for engines featuring increased compression or modified specifications. Designed with a focus on reliability and durability, this unit provides consistent starting in challenging conditions – ideal for both fast road and motorsport applications.
This starter utilises a gear reduction drive system built upon established original equipment (OE) platforms, ensuring compatibility and longevity. The design prioritises increased torque output alongside reduced electrical current draw, offering a performance upgrade without compromising the integrity of the vehicle’s existing electrical infrastructure.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Gear Reduction Drive: This core feature amplifies rotational force at the crankshaft, providing up to twice the cranking power compared to conventional starter motors. This is particularly beneficial for high-compression engines where overcoming initial resistance requires substantial torque.
- Reduced Current Draw: Operating with up to 50% less current consumption than standard starters, this unit minimises strain on the vehicle’s battery and charging system. This allows continued operation with existing wiring looms without necessitating costly upgrades and improves overall electrical efficiency.
- Lightweight Construction: Manufactured using carefully selected materials, the WOSP starter offers a substantial weight reduction – up to 50% lighter than many OE counterparts. Reducing rotational mass contributes positively to vehicle handling and responsiveness.
- 360° Rotational Mounting System: The fully adjustable mounting bracket allows for infinite positioning around its central axis. This adaptability simplifies installation, even within the confines of a tightly packed engine bay, and provides crucial flexibility for custom installations or modified chassis configurations.
- Enhanced Thermal Resistance: Designed to withstand elevated operating temperatures, this starter motor minimises the risk of heat soak – a common issue with high-output starters. Maintaining consistent performance under thermal stress ensures reliable starting even after prolonged use or in hot ambient conditions.
- High Vibration Tolerance: Engineered to endure the demanding vibrations inherent in motorsport and performance driving environments, this unit is built for longevity and resilience. Robust internal components and secure assembly contribute to its durability.
- OE-Based Platform: The foundation of this starter motor lies in proven OE specifications. This approach ensures a high level of reliability, compatibility with associated engine components, and ease of servicing.
- Fully Serviceable Design: Unlike many modern starters which are sealed units, the WOSP design prioritises maintainability. Key components are accessible for inspection, repair, or replacement, extending the unit’s operational lifespan and offering a cost-effective long-term solution.
The 1.0Kw output Denso type starter is specifically designed to provide ample power whilst remaining efficient. The internal gearing provides a mechanical advantage allowing for higher torque at lower RPM, reducing stress on both the starter motor and the battery.
Compatibility: This WOSP starter motor is directly compatible with:
- Fiat Uno
- Fiat Strada
- Fiat X/19
- Lancia Delta (Please verify Denso starter type for your specific model)
Note: While this unit is designed to be a direct replacement in the listed vehicles, modifications may be required depending on the existing engine configuration and any aftermarket components installed.
