WOSP Lightweight High Torque Starter Motor - Ferrari 430 / 599 / Enzo - Denso Type 1.4Kw Output
The WOSP lightweight high torque starter motor is engineered to deliver consistently reliable starting performance for demanding, high-performance engines – specifically tailored for the Ferrari 430, 599 and Enzo models utilising the Denso type starter configuration with a 1.4kW output. This unit addresses the challenges presented by increased compression ratios and modified engine builds often found in performance applications.
This starter motor isn’t simply about brute force; it's a carefully considered design focused on enhancing overall system efficiency and durability. Built upon original equipment (OE) platforms, WOSP has implemented significant advancements to improve torque output while simultaneously reducing electrical load. This results in a unit that is both powerful and considerate of the vehicle’s existing electrical infrastructure.
Key Features & Technical Details:
- Gear Reduction Drive: The core of this starter motor's increased performance lies within its gear reduction drive system. This mechanism effectively amplifies torque, capable of delivering up to twice the cranking power compared to conventional starters. This is particularly beneficial for engines with high compression ratios or substantial internal modifications where starting can become increasingly difficult.
- Reduced Current Draw: Operating with significantly lower current consumption – up to 50% less than standard units – this starter motor minimises stress on the vehicle's electrical system. This allows continued operation within existing wiring parameters without necessitating costly and complex upgrades. The reduced draw also contributes to improved overall efficiency, lessening parasitic losses.
- Lightweight Construction: Weight is a critical factor in performance engineering. WOSP has prioritised weight reduction through careful material selection and design optimisation. This starter motor achieves up to a 50% mass reduction compared to OE counterparts, contributing positively to vehicle weight distribution and overall handling characteristics.
- 360° Rotational Mounting: Installation flexibility is paramount, especially in the often-confined spaces of high-performance engine bays. The fully adjustable mounting system allows for infinite rotational positioning on its axis, simplifying installation and accommodating custom configurations. This adaptability reduces the need for fabrication or modification during fitment.
- Enhanced Heat Resistance: Prolonged cranking cycles or operation in high ambient temperatures can lead to heat soak, negatively impacting starter motor performance. This unit is engineered with enhanced thermal resistance, mitigating the risk of heat-related failures and ensuring consistent reliability even under extreme conditions.
- High Vibration Tolerance: Motorsport environments and demanding road use subject components to significant vibration. The WOSP starter motor is designed and tested to withstand these harsh operating conditions, guaranteeing long-term durability and operational integrity.
- OE-Based Platform & Compatibility: Constructed utilising OE specifications where applicable, this ensures a high level of reliability and compatibility with existing Ferrari systems. This approach minimises the potential for unforeseen issues during installation or operation.
- Fully Serviceable Design: Unlike many modern starter motors, this unit is designed to be fully serviceable. Internal components can be accessed and replaced, extending the lifespan of the motor and providing a cost-effective long-term solution compared to complete replacement.
The WOSP starter motor isn’t simply an upgrade; it's a refined component built for those who demand consistent performance from their vehicles. It addresses the inherent limitations of standard starters when faced with high-performance engine builds, offering increased torque, reduced electrical strain and enhanced durability.
Compatibility: This starter motor is specifically designed for Ferrari 430, 599 and Enzo models utilising the Denso type starter. Please verify your existing starter configuration before purchase.
