all evos untill 5 had probs engene probs with crank walk if it was me i would save up and buy a 5 or a 6
Not true, evo's 'all' can crankwalk (not sure about the 10), it was me that solved the problem on the earlies with a mod to the bearing carrier which to date seems to be 99% success.

Just for the record my red evo2 car (you would find pictures on here somewhere) was 510hp ran 10.55, i used it everyday and it had 90thou on it when i killed it, had a stock bottom end and head, only cams,inj,tubby and ecu were changed, so pretty good motors for the money

Early Evo's

The early Evo's are fantastic cars.I'd listen to Pete on anything Evo related he knows what he's talking about.

cause a standerd maf can only meter a serten amount of air before it needs to be larger/ replaced with a bigger one or removed !

not if you extend the tables it doesn't, the only restriction with a maf is when it collapses internally from too big a turbo sucking on it ;)

ive never heard of any from 5 up doing it,strange.

Latter cars 5 onwards do it to a point then stop due to the different thrust bearing fitted, whereas earlies will just contiune to go through journel and web, but its a small margin that actually do walk and its easy to check for before buying
