Ok i think im half ready to catch flack from this but just a question. What makes the v12 starter sound so unique? Could you possible put this on any car? I did some looking just to see and a few things they say is that fact its a v12, yeah i get that. Also something about a constant load starter. Not really sure just a question i guess more for knowledge and learning.

 

Are you just talking about the initial warm up procedure? Similar to a bike how it revs it up and then idles at a certain rpm?

 

Negative, talking about the cranking part. I guess some people say it would sound like a jet starting. Ill try to find a good audio to post.

 

I guess I know what your talking about, people on GM B/D bodies (91-96 caprices/impalas, fleetwoods) would use a starter from (dont quote me) a corvette and it had a different sound to it. I had a Mini Starter (yes thats what they are reffered to) that my dad had from one of his many projects it had a differnt unique sound. Most people with High compression race motors used them they just sounded cool. As for swapping anything in G's I doubt youll find anything that will work. Double the voltage I bet it will change the sound of the starter then lol.

 

Just put an electric leaf blower motor under the hood that runs when the starter does.

 

Heres a video of a bentley and aston martin starting.

Aston: http://youtu.be/5NJE6XsYZUQ

 

hmm. V6 vs V12...

 

Again, i understand its double what ours are. To me it almost sounds like its just a starter, but it cant be that simple. If I could fit a V12 in my car I would.

 

The whirring snarl at 0:07 in the Bentley video and 0:10 in the Aston video is the starter. It is almost certainly a larger and more powerful starter than a G has, because it has to turn twice the cylinders. After that, you hear the motor start, and that is the V12, you can't really imitate it with a V6.

 

Nissan has a V12

UD-12 - 14825 cc - V12 diesel engine
Applications:
Nissan Dump Truck WD38

14.8 Liters for that ***.

swap it in

 

alright nice. you know it's probably already turbo charged too lol. this will be the greatest swap ever.

that noise from the bentley and aston is the starter. it's just a more powerful starter. call up bentley. i'm sure they will sell you one.

all joking aside, could you imagine, scrolling through the DIY's here on the forum and seeing DIY: Bentley starter swap.

(ben stiller voice) DO IT!

 

Just put a Honeywell AGT 1500 Turbine engine in there and call it a day. You'll get power and a great sound lol.

 

 

theres a Bently at my work and yes those starters sound pretty cool. and yes its just wut some one said up there. its just a higher current in the starter cuz its got more cylinders to turn. what u hear is just magnetic field spinning the field coil and brushes contacting the commutator.
