I found this on dsmtuners and figured it would be interesting to some of you.

"People have been asking me about crankwalk alot again so here are the numbers I have... I'll say this again here so I don't get a bunch more requests

I can't send any names or Email addresses due to privacy issues, But I can give you some rough numbers I got from the stats supplied..

Of the 1800+ cases I have received:
(updated 10-10-2002)

50% were "1997 Turbo DSMs" *

17% were "1996 Turbo DSMs" *

9% were "1995 Turbo DSMs" *

12% were "1998 Turbo DSMs" *

11% were "1999 Turbo DSMs" *

1% were "1994 or older 1g Turbo DSMs" (most of these had over 100,000 miles and were moderately to heavily modded **.)

1% were "Other" Non Eclipse/Talon/Laser vehicles with 4G63 turbo motors. (IE Galant VR4s, or Transplant cars, most of these had over 100,000 miles and were moderately to heavily modded **. )

To narrow this down even further:

85% were Manual Transmissions.

15% were Automatic Transmissions.

a couple other interesting notes:

The Milage on crankwalking cars ranged from 1,200 to well over 100,000 (the average landing right around 50,000 miles)

About 60% of the entire number of cars was Moderately to Heavily modded ** with the remaining 40% being Stock to Mildly modded **

98% of the people that I talked to that fixed their cars using NEW 2g parts (weather it was a new crank and bearings OR a new short block) had their NEW motors crankwalk again!! Most before 24,000 more miles.

2% have not had problems again (yet)...

.5% of the people that I taked to that fixed their cars with a 1g/Jspec motor swap had cankwalk return.

* NOTE: There was no real difference in AWD vs FWD and or Eclipse vs Talon, all of them seem to have equal opportunity to get Crankwalk.

** NOTE: In regard to these lists of stats the following applies:
Stock = Stock, No known mods.

Mildly modded = Air filter/intake, exhaust, UIC pipe/BOV

Moderately Modded = any of the above + Fuel system upgrades, mild Turbo upgrade (up to big 16G), other power adders, ACT 2100 lb clutch

Heavily Modded = any of the above + NOS, 335+ HP, Turbo larger than big16G, CM 2400 or ACT 2600 clutch any other Motor/Drive train altering Mod.

So there you have the numbers that I have come up with, If you think they are in error I encourage you to gather up 1800+ crankwalk cases and information and sift through it and come up with some better numbers"

There is a cliff in Hamden CT that you can trhow it off of....just let me know when you want to do this.

Edit: I will continue to mod my 7 bolt engine until otherwise convinced i shouldn't. I suggest you all do the same or sell your car and buy a honda or something or just do the dam 6 botl swap like others. Those are you options....live with it.

I also have a 2600 on a gst :wary ?

because my 2100 didnt' like daily city driving very much

my 97 gst walked last year and has a six bolt in now. if that fucker walks again im done.

i installed a new factory clutch in december and now its slipping. guess i need a 2100 pretty soon....fuck

if you are in the market for anew clutch and HAVE a 6 bolt then get a 2600...ESP wiht FWD. The drag launches are conducive to slipping the clutch wiht FWD and you will toast a 2100 in no time. Trust me on this.

besides, the 6 bolt prob won't walk anyways
