Hi guys. I'm new to this forum. I have a 2000 Prelude. It's been pretty modified with the works.

I have a bit of problem with my starter. I've been told that it's possible to get at "stronger" or more powerfull starter. Does anyone know where??

Thanks

First, welcome. Second... I can't imagine any H22 being so modified that you would have a hard time starting. Even with 13:1 CR you shouldn't have an issue. If it's an issue with cranking speed, make sure the battery and starter check out OK, then make sure all the cables, battery clamp, and ground bolts are OK. I've had a few instances where everything looked OK but then wiggle a cable and... it breaks. It's not uncommon, especially as cars get this old.

If it's an issue with just not starting, look at ignition and fuel issues- if super modified look at the cold start/startup map values & make sure you aren't flooding it, also look at advance and then the more basic stuff like dirty injectors, bad plugs, etc.

If for some reason you really need a beefier starter, I have no knowledge of any that are out there. The H22 is one of the biggest motors Hond made and came with one of their largest starters and alternators they've made. If you still insist, I'd go for a larger battery and cable, then approach a starter/alternator shop and see if they can custom-wind you something. That may be the only "performance" option as you'll need something that will fit the OE opening/mount which may be impossible to find.

See PM for tips on translation.

I don't see anything here that should really have "worn out" your starter. Maybe the high CR, but that would probably take years. I'm still thinking cables though you can't really rule out the starter until you start replacing stuff.

What is the exact symptom? Slow cranking speed?

Solid

His starter could just be old and need replacing. I wish we new if it was turning the engine over at all.
