I have a compression of 12:5:1. I have the stock starter and I think it's gone out. It's a b16a2. Like when I turn the key it does nothing and I know it ain't the battery so if y'all think it's the starter. Do you know where I can get a high compression starter?

OEM starter is more than capable of handling that; pull your starter out, have it connected and give it a crank, if the shaft engages your starter isn't as bad as you thought.

Or, some people recommend giving it a love tap or two with a hammer, in case that shaft is indeed stuck

Stock starter will do it. I had a b20v at 12.75:1 and my stock starter worked. It did not like it but it worked. I think you may need a new oem or look for other issues

check wiring and voltage at the starter first.

its not doing anything? is the little black ground wire in?

MR.johnson

That is a 12v signal wire for the solenoid.

its grounded through the transmission ground.
