I'm sure everyone or most have been in that same seat the first time - especially me, even till now I ask noob questions hehe. Sometimes it is difficult to find what you need by doing searches because they are not exactly the answer you are looking for sometimes or you can't find it at all. I still think that way until now.

RSTYPE - From what I've learned from manny and jim is that the 5sfe is no beast as an NA car but it indeed has torque especially with clutch and flywheel and boltons. However just like any other car in its class you have to boost it. Like these guys have said if you don't plan to exceed 300, 5sfe turboed is the way to go, and over 300, 3sgte motor swap with a better turbo and upgraded parts.

the only true after market parts which is really OEM for the 5s is the 3s motors - very identical. Same as how frankenstein jobs are done with Hondas and Acuras.
