#10693, "I think my car is done with b/c of crankwalk!" May-31-04 12:26 AM by Jarrad_GST
I was just adding a air duct through my bumper to the underneath part of my intake and tighten some intercooler pipes.
I started driving my car and the air duct made my car much faster. I started hitting 20psi instead of the 15psi without messing with the boost controller. Maybe it was because I fixed some boost leaks or maybe cause of the air duct. So my car was running fast.
I get on the highway later on that day and put the car on cruise control. I hit a slight bump and my car make a crazy clanking noise coming from the #1 cylinder. Like around the head or the block, hard to tell.
Well anyways drove back home at 50mph with my hazards on and my car just kepted clanking and going nuts. The clanking noise was horrid loud noise and very inconsistent. The clutch seemed mushy too. Once I finally got off the interstate and put the car into neutral, and it continually died. And kept dying unless I reved it up. I got it home thinking my I was too lean. I drained my oil and nothing was in my oil. I took the oil pan off and used a pry bar too see if the crank moved. It moved quite a bit. I am going to get a feeler gauge and measure exactly how much.
So basically I think I have crankwalk. 55k 97 Eclipse GST.
I am going to get a 6 bolt swap and do it myself with my brother. Its fucking tradegic. I was going to use my paycheck to dyno tune my car. Oh well....
Should be down no less than a month. Will keep everyone detailed.
