Super Hi-Torque Gear Drive Starter – Built for the Toughest Engines

When standard high-torque isn’t enough, step up to the WOSP Super Hi-Torque Starter. Engineered specifically for extreme performance builds running 12:1 and higher compression ratios, this model delivers up to 40% more cranking torque and 30% faster RPM than our proven Hi-Torque Starter.

Like all WOSP Gear Drive Starters, the Super Hi-Torque features an integrated front bearing that eliminates the weak OE bronze bushing in the transmission housing. The result? Quieter operation, longer life, and consistent fast starts—even in the harshest off-road or racing conditions where traditional VW starters fail.

With its powerful gear reduction design and reduced amperage draw, the Super Hi-Torque not only overcomes the demands of ultra-high-compression engines but also allows the use of a smaller, lighter battery without sacrificing reliability. Other models available.

Features:

• Maximum cranking power for engines with 12:1+ compression
• 40% more torque and 30% higher RPM than the Hi-Torque model
• Integrated front bearing support—no starter bushing required
• Fast, reliable starts even under extreme conditions
• Runs quieter and outlasts OE VW starters
• 12-volt operation with 9-tooth drive gear
• For Type-1 with 12-volt style flywheel (130-tooth)

WOSPerformance Ltd (UK): Designed and manufactured in house using only OE platforms, these lightweight, gear reduction and high torque starter motors are ideal for use in hostile or bespoke environments and are warranted for 12 months and in most cases offer twice the power and half the current draw and weight to an original unit. Unless specifically intended for just one application all our units can be rotated 360° on their own axis giving the unit an infinite number of mounting positions to clear any obstruction.
