No the rs uses the 420a motor and the gs-t uses the 4g63. They are completely different motors and there are no parts that can be interchanged between them. Sorry<IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0">

yes, turbo kit is the only way to go, because of the completely different engine. too bad though right.. you will get a better deal with a kit anyways. you get more than just a TURBO with the kit, most come with an intake, injectors, innercooler...

Get the hahn racecraft stage 2. It will put tour 1/4 time into the 13's. Not stockgst or gsx will do that. Its your best bet or go with nitrous.

Nitrous Oxideis the exception. Magic in a bottle<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>


For the turbo kit, there are two major companies offering kits, HRC and Star. The HRC kit is the better of the two, Hahn has made an art out of turbocharging the 420a(the engine in your RS). Star seems like a good company, however they don't always use the top quality parts than Hahn does.</P>
