Frankie,
the fact that the engines suffer from crank walk does not necessarily mean that the crank will go for a walk when you are utilising those extra horses.

Have you bought all the parts that you need???

if the engine is well looked after and is continued to be, you shouldn't worry. People bitch and moan about crank walk, ive never heard of any EvoIVs' with it.

 

[ElDopesta]

The chances are that your IV has it. The thing is, to have it might only mean that it has occurred to a thou or so.

This is a subject that has been talked about to death. It is not an issue like most say that it is. I have had people bring their III's etc to me many years back and when checked they had end float. 4 or 5 years later, they are still driving them so why the big deal????

Crank walk scares the shit out of me. I had a read on an american car forum that dealt with the eclipse & what crankwalk actually does, HOOO man it sucks big.

 

[RSmark]

Eactly, theres plenty of manufacters out there that have this problem, And how common is it that someone posts about having it.

 

[ElDopesta]

The thing you have to take into consideration Steve is that they are more or less the same engine.

What it does or does not do is just something that has been blown out of proportion. It is just something that other car owners pick up on as they have noting better to do with their time.

Give them an Evo and they will soon show their other faces!!!

Show me an engine that can not suffer from end float and I will be impressed.

thanks guys for your info so am i doing the right thing then as i do look after my baby well .

 

[ElDopesta]

Just make sure that you do not dip your clutch before the engine has warmed up on a cold start. That is one of the main culprits for causing it!!

When is your car booked in for the work???

it goes in on the 18th of sept, i will drop it off in the morning with my mate 200sx and they are letting me fit the ecu and injectors while my mate having his re mapped and then my baby goes in

 

[ElDopesta]

Sounds good, I know you have been after some more power for quite a while now

Good luck and make sure you let us know how you got on.

Don't forget to give that Pulsar another bash when your done and make sure you let us know all about it on the Evo'd thread
