whats your budjet? can you pull the block apart and change the rod berrings? if you can... i have a vid of a 4g63 putting down 612hp 575tq

can u post that vid?:loco: ;)

i cant find it ;(

;( ;( ;( ;(

what is 4g63? and what does changine the rod bearings do and cost??

its the engine code, and it'll cost alot if you dont do it yourself.

changing the rod bearings to help reduce the change of crankwalk

actually that Gen talon/eclipse doesnt have a problem with crank walk. its the 2nd gen that got screwed.

A good DSM website: http://www.machv.com/

yup a newer version of the 4g63 will be here this spring on the EVO8 271 hp and 275 tq :yes: newly found respect for mitsus

To answer the original question, yes you should. Assuming its in decent condition.

I'm no DSM expert, but I read alot about them. I would say yes too if you can afford it. I know afew people around my city that run high 11's and low 12's with really not much cash into them.

Just remember DSM's do have some issues. But if you take car of it and DO ALL routine maintenance you should be ok.

From what I've read 1g's can crankwalk and dont even know it. "1g's use the cam angle sensor to sense cam angle, and cank angle. No crank angle sensor to die and let you know it has walked. So some 1gs may get it and never notice. The motor may die of natural cuases before it is properly diagnosed." So I would def check into that.

Here is a great dsm site. http://www.racingknowledge.com

TSI talons are nice, but i hear they are real unreliable.

the motor is as reliable as a h22 when you boil it down

"The biggest indicator that you might have this problem is a clutch pedal that stays stuck to the floor, especially after making left hand turns. (The crank slides over and the flywheel slides away from the clutch, so the clutch won't engage...). If the play in the crank becomes bad enough, it breaks the crank angle sensor off the end of the crank, and the motor shuts down completely."

You'll know if you have it.

I'll buy that for a dollar!

I had a 91 Eagle talon TSI. It was a pimp car, too bad the trany went out on it. They are awesome cars, but very unreliable

My dad has a '91 Talon AWD Turbo....and I've been sharing it with'em since i totalled out my car and haven't found my new project yet.
