Default How well does your aggressively built motor start up.

I was looking for a thread on how built all motor start-up is. Does your motor fire right up every time, or is it rather difficult to start up, is it harder in certain weather. Thanks for responses.

well, people with "big" cams and high compression, maybe ITB's make it harder to start too, i guess i'll find out.

Just thought i'd add. Since my build is done and its pretty cold out. It takes a few cranks to start in the cold, i'm also using the tiny hawker/odyssey battery. I have to give some gas for a few seconds when its real cold or it'll die. No big problems though.

My 12.25CR 2.3 liter with aggressive nonVTEC cams takes a little longer to start when it is cold out but nothing I'd consider excessive. I use the stock starter and a Odyssey PC680 too.

12.5 CR S2S3 cams. I only had it back for a day before it got sent back in for a dyno tune. It didn't really start worth a crap on the stock ECU (SVO 450 CC injectors), and the AEM base map I was using wasn't really compatible with the motor.

13:1 1.8 d16a6--Gude Gorilla cam, dual Weber carbs--starts on 4 or 5 crank even in cold weather. Using Odyssey PC 540 battery and stock starter.
