big problem w/ 420a
Right when the money was rolling in and it was looking like i was getting ready to buy the turbo and whatever, a problem was risen to my attention. My car is buring oil like crazy. i have to put a whole thing of oil in for every thousand miles. I took it to a find of mine and he said it will cost me at least a grand to rip apart the top of the engine and fix it, and if its a problem in the lower end even more money. Since i am thinking about turboing this car which is well over 2 grand and i'm going to have over a grand into fixing it, i was wondering if i should just swap engines to the turbo engine? Tell me your thoughts so i can decide between my options.
--thanks a lot guys

Re: big problem w/ 420a
So you dont even know what the problem is?
Are you leaking any oil? With that price sounds like a headgasket. Do you have oil in your coolant or vice versa. If so, EclipseRST I think you have another job !!!

i wont do the swap unless i get paid atleast 3 grand for it! its would be such a pain in the ass! you are so much better off getting a turbo and turboing the RS!! cause even if you spend the 6-7 grand it will cost you on the swap you still have a stock motor, and if you put that 6-7 grand into the motor you have now i bet you will be running 12's if not 11s!

Re: big problem w/ 420a
So no one can find out what the problem is, until they open it up?
