Default Need advice...first car

I just bought a 96 mitsubishi eclipse rs with 185,000 miles on it and I need some help. A couple of the problems I know that it has is its leaking oil, and the cars off tempo. pretty soon i'm gonna need an engine swap and was hopin I can get some advice on what to do with the car until then. I know squat about cars and motors and any help wil be appreciated.

first off, you should save up money for a swap. It very hard and expensive to put a turbo motor in, so your best bet is to get a 420a and turbo charge it. With that many miles, and oil leaks, it won't be long till you get more problems out of it... Just research all your optoins before you do them.

no need to swap just rebuild what you have and build it for boost... buy a turbo kit designed for the 420a motor and youll be ready to make huge power on a new motor

Do you have personal experience on that matter?
