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"
