just wondering if anyone's using a heavy-duty more cranking power longer lasting type starter on their second gen or if there's any such thing. the stock unit may be sufficient but i think it would be worth upgrading.

 

A stock starter in good condition works perfectly, so what exactly do you expect to gain from upgrading it?

 

believe me its good enough, we can crank good starters over for half a minute and not be scared for it (the ones we build) theres no point in going to a different starter.

 

When we were hammering out ignition/idle/starting/AFR control on the MegaSquirt, I was doing 10-15 second starts spaced about 10 seconds (usually less) apart . . . I didnt care if the starter made it, I had replacements . . . I did this for a total of about 6 hours.

I think our starters are fine
