| SOLENOID
DESIGN |
|
The
solenoid of the Hi-Torque unit is
enclosed in aluminum coupled with
a vent hole enabling the unit to dissipate
heat more rapidly or “breathe.” Equally important is
knowing a half cup volume of air which is circulated when solenoid
is energized. |
Solenoid is tightly
encapsulated in steel. When the starter is near the exhaust system or
headers it is often subject to the “Hot
Start” syndrome.

|
TORQUE
|
|
Provides in excess of 525 ft. lbs. of
torque.
|
Provides approximately 425 ft. lbs. (25% less!) |
|
GEAR RATIO
|
|
Hi-Torque
has
a 4.44 to one gear ratio.
|
Other type 3.75 to one gear ratio.

|
PHYSICAL DESIGN
|
|
IMI
is the only unit recommended by one of our country’s leading
manufacturer of
performance exhaust system or headers.
Hi-Torque
provides the end user with
maximum
starter and header clearance. |
This type of unit cannot boast this feature. |
|
CURRENT
|
|
Under
exact load conditions the Hi-Torque
unit draws less current than competitive
units. |
Draws more current than IMI type.
|
|
RE-INDEXING
(POSITIONING)
|
|
To re-index or change the position of
the Hi-Torque unit there are three allen head bolts on the front of the unit.
Remove
these and simply rotate and
replace the allen heads.
|
To reposition requires partial disassembly
of the unit and is a much more difficult and complex job for the end user.
