Im going to be running a ecotec with a 6rib and need a starter.
So what starter are you guys running on your ecotec's??
I have been thinking about milling the bell down to run a Firebug style starter
Will a stock 091 starter start it??
Thanks

Firebug has 1 for sale, the type he uses is the best I know of including those aftermarket hi-torque starters. |

Has anyone tried this http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/ ... ?id=694797 I ordered one and the starter but the starter firebug uses is a 9 tooth this one calls for a 10 tooth just wanted to see if anyone has one |

That adapter is a great idea,,then you still have your warantee on the starter. The ones I convert are altered and the waranty may not be good. I imagine the number of teeth is important and it should turn CCW . I am interested in hearing about the 10 tooth starter. |
