WOSP Lightweight High Torque Starter Motor - Ferrari 250/225 - Denso Type 2.0Kw Output

The WOSP Lightweight High Torque Starter Motor is engineered to provide significantly enhanced cranking performance for high-performance and, critically, high-compression engines commonly found in classic Ferraris. This unit prioritises reliable starting under demanding conditions – a vital characteristic for both road use and competitive motorsport applications.

This starter motor utilises a gear reduction design built upon established Original Equipment (OE) platforms to ensure durability and longevity. The core principle behind this design is the delivery of increased torque output without compromising electrical system integrity, offering benefits beyond simply ‘turning over’ an engine.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

• Gear Reduction Drive: This is central to the performance gains offered by the WOSP starter. The gear reduction mechanism effectively amplifies torque delivery, enabling the motor to generate up to twice the cranking power of a conventional starter unit. This is particularly beneficial for engines with higher compression ratios which inherently require more effort to initiate combustion.
• Reduced Current Draw: Efficiency is paramount. The WOSP starter has been meticulously engineered to operate with up to 50% less current draw than standard starters. This lower power consumption reduces the strain placed on the vehicle’s electrical system, minimising the risk of voltage drop and ensuring consistent performance even with existing wiring configurations.
• Lightweight Construction: Weight reduction is a key consideration in any high-performance build. The WOSP starter utilises advanced materials and manufacturing techniques to achieve up to 50% weight savings compared to original equipment starters. This contributes to improved vehicle weight distribution and overall dynamic performance.
• 360° Rotational Mounting: Installation flexibility is crucial, especially within the often-confined spaces of classic engine bays. The WOSP starter features a fully adjustable mounting system allowing for infinite rotational positioning on its axis. This adaptability simplifies installation in challenging environments and accommodates custom engine setups.
• Enhanced Heat Resistance: Prolonged cranking or repeated starting attempts can generate significant heat. This starter motor is designed to withstand high operating temperatures, minimising the risk of heat soak and maintaining consistent performance during extended use.
• High Vibration Tolerance: Motorsport environments are inherently demanding, subjecting components to extreme vibration. The WOSP starter has been engineered to endure these harsh conditions, ensuring durability and long-term reliability.
• OE-Based Platform: Built upon original equipment specifications, this design philosophy guarantees a high degree of compatibility and reliability. It leverages proven technology while incorporating performance enhancements.
• Fully Serviceable Design: Unlike many modern starter motors, the WOSP unit is designed with serviceability in mind. Key components are accessible for maintenance and rebuild, extending the lifespan of the motor and offering a cost-effective long-term solution.

The 2.0Kw output ensures sufficient power delivery for even heavily modified or high displacement engines. The Denso type construction provides a robust and reliable electrical connection.

This starter is not simply about providing more power; it’s about delivering that power efficiently, reliably, and with consideration for the broader vehicle system. It addresses the specific demands of classic Ferrari engines – particularly those running high compression setups or modified configurations.
