- 924 2.5 S - 160 bhp (M44.09/M44.10) from 1988

The Powerlite starter is designed to advantageously replace original starters which are often heavy and inefficient on older vehicles. More powerful and more modern, it improves engine rotation speed during starting, whilst reducing battery strain.

Optimised power: 1.4 kW compared to 0.8 to 1.1 kW for a conventional starter depending on versions.

Superior torque: faster and more efficient engine engagement.

Reduced consumption: less current required, thus preserving voltage available for other electrical components.

Original starters, which are heavy and have worn windings that can generate resistance and heat the wiring harness, can slow engine speed during the starting phase and strain the battery.

With mechanical fuel injection systems such as K-Jetronic, insufficient engine speed does not always allow the sensor plate to tilt sufficiently, making starting considerably more difficult. The resistance of old windings can also cause fuel pump voltage to drop during the starting phase and prevent sufficient pressure being obtained for starting, especially when hot.

The Powerlite starter corrects this problem by driving the engine faster whilst requiring less battery power

.

Technical advantages

Direct compatibility: installs in place of the original starter, without modification.

Adjustable bracket: several positioning angles possible for optimal installation.

Modern construction: lighter, more compact and more durable than a period starter.

Reliable solution: starts easily, even in difficult conditions, whilst preserving the battery.

In summary

The Powerlite high-performance starter is the lasting solution to make starting your Porsche 924 more reliable.

Light, compact and powerful, it combines modernity and reliability to give your engine a new lease of life.
