Powermaster Offers Tips For Selecting The Right Starter

Powermaster Motorsports is an industry leader in offering a wide variety of high quality starting and charging components for multiple motorsports applications. The company has built a reputation on powering and starting everything from rat rods, high-compression mountain motor-powered drag cars, rock crawlers, and even daily-driven street machines.

With a wide range of starter options, the company is driven to supply enthusiasts with the best and highest quality starter for a given application, using its ‘How to choose a starter’ section on the website, which hits upon the three important steps in your quest to find the right starter:

  • Torque requirements
  • Fitment
  • Weight

A key point is to choose the right starter that’s going to provide adequate cranking power. With a variety of torque-rated starters, it can be a challenge to understand the navigation of what torque is required, as in the world of starters there’s no such thing as too much torque. The general rule of thumb is that engines making over 12:1 compression should utilize a 200 ft-lb starter.

Fitment is also a vital factor when choosing a correct starter to make certain no clearance issues arise and ensure correct starter to flexplate/flywheel engagement. With all of the different exhaust routing designs, applications and engine combinations, it can be difficult to decipher what model starter to select. It is key to identify all of the obstacles that may arise in fitting a high-torque starter.

Powermaster offers plenty of lightweight starters that deliver maximum torque in a compact design to meet your weight-conscious racing requirements. Make sure you check out the webpage referenced above; it is full of enlightening facts that will help you figure out the perfect starter for your particular application.
