Eagle Premier Starter

[DeloreanJoshQ]

Nice job! Man those definitely have different performance. That eagle one sounds like a mini jet engine winding up, haha! Just out of curiosity, why in the video does it look like your exhaust is glowing red?

I believe you are referring to the cat converter. The engine was dead cold for both segments. The stainless is bluish with that orange color due to heat and time. Not normal?

What's the weight difference josh? Never hurts to shed a few!

I didn't weigh them but would guess 10 lbs. difference. Someone else might be able to chime in.

Does the factory asbestos heat shield get re-used for the premiere starter?

Normally you don't remove that unless doing the exhaust. I'd recommend leaving it, or the SS replacement, in place.

Hey Dave,

Yes, I'm installing headers. Does that negate the use of the shield?

[DMCMW Dave]

I'd reinstall it if you can.

Great guess. NOS just under 16 lb's. Premier...a hair over 8 lb's. Colin Chapman would love that starter!

What's the consensus on the OEM "core?"
