150 amps with a conventional starter is not bad. I doubt that a permanent mag starter will draw any less spinning a 5 cyl diesel because the motor is small. It would be interesting to check the draw though to know for sure.
It spins the 616 like nothing. Cranking speed is faster than the one I took off, but the bushings were shot, (the armature was probably dragging, lol), but it spins it at a good speed, and it seems quieter too.
I looked at the specks that I could find for starter output on a diesel and gas starter and found one speck that said the 60X starters were 2.2 Kw and the gas was 1.7Kw
The starter came with a sheet that had test results on it and it maxed out at 1.9 Kw but it was tugged down pretty good and was drawing over 300 amps. Just from the sound of the one I have I am not at all concerned it will do the job well.
Time will tell how well it will do in it's new home.
