Starter motor Denso or Duralast

I put in a reman denso starter in my 06 Titan back in 2017. Still working great!

Have any of the starters been Denso brand? I thought I remember hearing that for certain models of Japanese cars the starter HAS to be Denso (the OEM manufacturer) or it wont spin fast enough consistently to start the engine.

If it’s like the ones over here in the US, it’ll fit but the cable connector is in a slightly different place. I have a Denso Accord starter on my car now.

The top one is OE Denso. The aftermarket new Chinesium on the bottom. But I’ve heard better things about new Chinesium than reman Mexican.

I got an Autozone Duralast one for my 09 LX and 2 yrs later after a lot of starts its still going strong.

the denso I had before was sealed water tight.

I'm probably gonna go with the reman Denso unit from Rockauto.

I got a starter from AutoZone (Duralast - remanufactured from Mexico) and installed it myself. Anyway, I got it free, took careful note as to where all the wires were supposed to go and then set about installing the other starter.

I needed a starter for my 2013 accord. Couldn't wait for OEM and bought a duralast that lasted 2 months.

My 09 Civic’s starter took a dump (was definitely due) around 2020. Don’t remember why but I got a Duralast starter at AutoZone knowing the pain in the ass risks. After replacing the starter I regretted it given how Honda made it somewhat difficult to replace but not impossible. A little over two years now the starter is now giving me issues with click no turn & me having to give it a tap or two.
