Kastigir Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Pulled the head a couple of weeks ago. Had it straight-edged and all was good. Bought some new ARP head studs. Gonna order the the rest of the parts. I want to eliminate the balance shaft at this time, but my buddy who is helping me doesn't feel we're up to the challenge yet. Gonna clean the head up before I slap it back on there. It's good to know that I'm only a couple of weeks away from a running talon I hope.

Hatch92 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 ooooo...4G63. any crank walk yet? actually looks real clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Was suspected crankwalk, but turned out to be a shredded t-belt. I've actually reinstalled the head, but forgot to get some good pictures of the ARPs sticking out of the head. I might pull the head again just to take a pic. I ran out of time/good weather last year, so unfortunately it's not yet running. I hope to get it done once it warms up again. It is a real clean car, and I hope it becomes a running machine again. I have some nice plans for it's future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_agu28 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I was going to get a 99 mirage and throw in a 4g63 out of a evo 8 and make it a ghetto evo 5 conversion. but we sold the mirage to get my lovely honda del sol. Which in the end would have been better. I know a lot of people with evos and my best friend has a ej25 and they argue with is better and the crankwalk issue is always brought up. I laugh everytime.

Hatch92 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 is that the motor out of your TSI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 is that the motor out of your TSI? I'm going to assume you're talking to me, and yes it's the motor in the TSi. Other pics Pretty vanilla, and totally sleeper outside of the Tanabe exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 very clean car. i've never been very fond of the front bumpers on the talons for some reason. however it is a nice car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbith Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 It's good to know that I'm only a couple of weeks away from a running talon I hope. Problem being, its a dsm, so once you get it running it will only be a matter of time before it stops again..lol. With that said, i want a 97 eclipse.. basically, i like the idea of boosting 20-30 psi on stock internals. Not to mention, i always thought the eclipse/talon looked sexy.

lceah Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 what has been done lately? talking about turbo eclipses...I saw a black one today with FMIC and heard the BOV from far...guy gets close says hi and I look, it's the same guy I raced a while ago in his green turbo eclipse...he even remembered my old car; maybe because I beat him with my old car lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastigir Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 20psi wow thats amazing i didnt know you could do that to a stock dsm!!!!! According to the DSM people on another forum, they'll actually hold up to 22, but I'm not planning on pushing it. would you have an intercooler with that much boost? It would be smart to, but you'll heatsoak the side mount. My plan is a 16g turbo, 20 psi, and an FMIC. As well as anything else the motor will need to handle the increased boost.

Kastigir Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Mitsubishi claims it doesn't exist, but thousands of 2nd gen DSM owners know differently. Apparently, when Mitsubishi machined the cranks, they weren't real keen on tolerances. As such, many cranks were machined "out of spec", but still installed. Since the journal bearings are all one size, if you have an "out of spec" crank there will be excessive play. After normal wear & tear, the play will get to be so much, that your crank is toast. In many cases, the crank moves so much that it starts hitting the trigger plate for your crankshaft sensor. That's a real bad case of crankwalk. Most often you'll have problems with stalling, and your clutch remaining depressed when making turns. (left-handed I believe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 crankwalk is when the crankshaft starts moving around its housing. This causes the crankshaft to, at some point or another, wear into the thrust bearing heavily. This will cause the crank to eventually move a plate that will smash into the crank angle sensor, break it, and shut the car down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prangy Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 oo alright thanks guys, does this happen in other cars then I take it sometimes? that would really suck to happen is there anyway to even test a crankshaft for something like that before you put it in?

lceah Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 intercooler yay! and maybe a bov? and about 20psi being the most...I always think people should give it a factor of safety and go a bit less...imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
