Hey ive been lookin around am pretty sure that most u guys seen my thread tryin to find gsx ne ways I been lookin at some gsx's online am I saw one or two that said 6 bolt engine what does that mean ?? I dindt want to ask the owner about might make me looks bad the dude might wanna take advatage of me [>:] sellin more than it should so thnx if u can gimme some details

 

6 bolt motors were in the 1G eclipse 4G63 but not all 1Gs. it is more relieable than the 2G motor with no worries of crankwalk. the Motor in the 2Gs and late model 1Gs was reffered to as a 7Bolt which was built by chrysler and is know to crankwalk. the 6bolt 7bolt reffers to the number of bolts on the flywheel I beleive

And I am sure there are other reasons to swap a 6bolt in but I dont know them and maybe clear up anything I might not be correct with, ill leave that to the DSM guys

 

oh thnx but would you get same power or peak power ??

 

Stock yes but after that the 6bolt is stronger to modds. if you have a 7bolt and it is going to walk I know it cant take as much as the 6bolt before the stock bottom end is too weak.

 

can u fix the problem with crank walk with a lighter crankshaft ?

 

I am not sure of the ways to fix crankwalk, I think it is bearings and crank but not possitive what the fix is other than a 6bolt swap. I have never owned a DSM (at least untill the EVO if you wanna count it as a DSM) so im not sure

new crank bearings and a new crank if yours is outta speck is the only way i know of how to fix crank walk

 

with that kind of labor its best to replace the whole short block, or if you dont want to ever worry about it again you just swap in a 6 bolt, which are cheaper anyway.

 

should i just get a 1 gen instead i wanted to go with that option it leave me with alot money for mods and performance parts am leave it a sleeper maybe agloss or something i just love the 2gen look to me it looks better than most new car like ugly civic si its like a gay car gender confused car
