Our take on the Denso 280-5104 Remanufactured Starter Motor

The Denso 280-5104 is a remanufactured 12V permanent-magnet gear-reduction (PMGR) starter rated at 1.7 kW, turning clockwise and bolting on with shims included. Denso is Toyota's original starter supplier, so a remanufactured Denso unit is the common replacement for worn factory starters on Toyota and Lexus engines. It is listed for racing use, which means it is not a stock replacement for every application. The best new price is $102.95 at Newparts.com as of November 4, 2026, with 3 stores selling it new.

Pros
  • OEM-grade Denso build quality
  • PMGR design is lighter and draws less current than old direct-drive starters
  • 1.7 kW output suits small to mid-size engines
  • Shims included for correct pinion mesh
  • Remanufactured unit costs far less than a new OEM starter
Cons
  • Remanufactured, not new: core condition varies
  • Listed for racing use, so fitment should be checked against your engine
  • No mounting hardware included
  • Package weight listed as 10 g is clearly a data error, not the real shipping weight

Questions and answers

Is this starter new or remanufactured?
It is remanufactured: Denso rebuilds a used core to its specs. You usually pay a core charge that is refunded when you send the old starter back.
Will it fit my car?
It is a 12V PMGR starter listed for racing use. Check the Denso 280-5104 application list against your exact engine before buying, since it does not fit every Toyota or Lexus model.
How does it compare with a new OEM starter?
It uses the same Denso design and housing but costs much less. A new OEM unit is the safer choice for a daily driver; a reman is fine for a track car or a budget repair.
What is in the box?
The starter and shims. Mounting bolts are not included, so reuse your original hardware.
When is it cheapest?
The best new price was $102.95 at Newparts.com as of November 4, 2026. Reman starter prices move with core charges, so compare the total including core and shipping.
