whats up guys, haven't posted on here in a while, been very busy at nissan and what not.
Let me start off by saying i own a 99' mitsu eclipse GST. The car has 134k miles on it right now. WHen i purchased it, it had around 133k. Bought the car with a blown turbo and a few cosmetic problems. kid before me was driving around with low oil for a while(shot turbo seals). had to drive around with the blown turbo for a bit since i was low on money. Bought the new turbo(b16g) and then i decided to do my oil pan gasket while i was doing the turbo swap just as safe measures. I drop the oil pan and find all of the old turbo's seals and clips in the pan. Definetly not good. I put maybe a few hundred miles at most on the new turbo and one day this knock came out of no where. Pulled cylinder #3 plug wire and knock went away. brought car to my work, dropped the oil pan and replaced all the connecting rod bearings. Being dumb, i went ahead and replaced the bearings even though the crank had pretty bad scoring on it(on all journals). after doing this, i installed my new o2 housing w/ dump tube and my 3" down pipe. Started it up and there was no knock to be heard. Started driving around a little bit, (2-3) miles then i started to rev it up a little higher, around 4k. I finally opened it up all the way and the turbo puled hard but it crept to 20+ psi. I hit fuel cut and the car almost sounded like it was bouncing off the limiter pretty fast. tried to boost it again but with less throttle and it still crept and would fuel cut. After this 2nd time i was coasting in 3rd gear or so and i pushed the clutch in and just coasted down the road. The engine turned off without me realizing it until i had to move the steering wheel and realized i had no Power steering
! Slowly let out the clutch and bump started it, gave it some gas and it wouldn't go anywhere then it finally started to drive and i was about to get up to the stop sign when my motor started to knock again!! This is when i just drove back to my house(around a mile)and just parked up the car. Today was the first time I've really touched it in a few months now. I have a video of the engine bay with it running for you guys to listen to. Here is the link. latesteclipsenoise.mp4 video by sandman817 - Photobucket
I know everyone hates seeing people post up about
ITS CRANKWALK or something along the lines of that, i want to say this is more rod knock than anything. I already have plans for this motor as far as rebuilding it since i have been talking to the guys over at dsmgraveyard.
So thanks guys, i appreciate your help and if you have any questions just ask me and ill definitely be watching this thread
