Huh what's that suppose to mean? RU saying the 4G63 is better? I for one don't care but if they made a turbo 420A from the factory I'm sure it'll whoop the 4G63.

Well crankwalk (as mysterious as it is) is a fatal failure to an engine, unless you're and owner of a 4g63 who has put madd $$ into it and then finds out that your car is a victim of crankwalk then you sing a different story. It's sort of like that feeling you get when you get into a car collision and you wish you could go back in time and stayed at home at that point and time of the crash. Crankwalk may not be inevitable to a 4g64 but the number of affected cars out there makes it something to think about.

not a bad way to spend 7 grand:

OK here's how it's gotta be. 4G63, 420A... either way it's an eclipse. Who caes. This site is about uniting DSMs. Not arguing that a turbo motor or 420A is better. It just an't be determined. It's an endless argument. Just say I have an eclipse, mine's not turbo...yet. Or I got turbo stock. Nobody really cares. I'm tired of theendless flamin and arguing. Nobody really knows which motr is better. It's a given that the 4G63 is better vs. 420A stock tho. Oh well the point is, we all have eclipses or talons here an we just gotta mke the most of having something in common with so many people. It's a great thing to have, enjoy it and make the most of it.

Do I have this mysterious 4G63 motor? I'm TSi AWD, I still have no idea what a crank walk is even after I read that site.... I'm guessing is it cheap fixes to major problems?

Crankawlk is exactly what the name says. It's when the bearings that hold the crank wear down and the crank ends up going through the block...it takes a walk sideways....Chances are you probablly have a slight case or none at all...only a percentage get it to the point of a rebuild.

OK now Im thinking about geting a 99 GSX, Now I also have a TSi with the 4g63 and its fine, my bud had a Tsi Awd and was also fine. I ask people that have 4g63's all the time if there engine is fine and they all are. So what I think it all comes down to is the people that own the cars with that engine IE they beat the shit out of it all the time. My Tsi has a lot of mods from the day I got it and when I drive it I keep it EZ but I have beed known to lightem up a bit and its still fine. If they give me a good deal on the GSX I will have 2 4g63's that have no crak walk. I think its all bull that non 4g people made out to be a big thing with all 4gs no matter what

that's one reason i got a first gen. :)

I know most people are fine from the dreaded crankwalk. 95% of the cases of crankwalk result in cars with an upgraded clutch (usually an ACT 2600) 0.01% of crankwalk in an automatic and rest on cars with a stock clutch.
That fact is, crankwalk CAN happen in any car, but the point here is 2g 4g63's do, and 2g 420a's haven't, even after 6 years not one case.
The 4g6 people on this board have to realize that the 420a people have delt with nothing but B.S. since the 420a came out.
If you had people telling you for the last 6 years that your engine is shit wouldn't you be picking? I mean what do you expect.
