Reason i ask is, my engine is a hi comp (12.5:1) N/A cosworth and my sump/box combo HAS to use the 4x4 starter as it has a big wing sump, and the bell housing is cut and re-welded 1" backwards, and the 4x4 starter sits 1" back so is a perfect fit.

So, my question is, does anyone do a hi torque starter for the cosworth 4x4's?

 

Give the Guys at S & C a ring...01279 445668 we got a starter for a N/A cos engine from them....

ive used him before actually, next to Retro motorsport isnt he?

but was that a 4x4 cossie starter? i could easily get a pinto high torque, which everyone makes, but they sit too far forward on this particular setup.

 

You do know the "reach" of the starter nose is different on 2wd and 4wd, so must suit the bell housing, I'd shop around for a high torque starter, they are mostly just reduction geared starters, so bulkier.

Ive got a 4x4 starter for sale, genuine Ford, 4 years old if that help Boxxer

 

think i need a hi torque one mate. i bought a recon escos one and it wont even spin the engine quick enough

Thanks Danny, will have a look

 

got it built then mate....

i had high torque pinto ones in mine and they still struggled lol

 

fit decompressors like an old petter diesel lol

 

nearly mate, fooking time consuming though and its pissing me off.


lol, someone else said that to me yesterday.

iv'e just ordered a starter from Brise who said they can make a starter that has the same dimensions as a 4x4 starter, and its cost me £260

 

i dont wish to sound insulting, but have you tried a bigger battery?

 

yup, got a optima red top battery with 850CCa, and 0 gauge battery wire (massive!)

 

Oh, well thats that idea fucked then

 

innit

 

dont worry mate i had alittle off in the cossie lol but its in bodyshop for a respray now and then will proberly sell it and go oldskool again
