apparently you are a noob because

ENLISH > YOU

just kidding. what do you mean RS for? For Mitsu, as far as the EVO goes, it means "Rally Sport" or something to that effect. Basically, it's a stripped down EVO to save on weight and money

These were actually released on the Japanese domestic market RS civic. The RS (stands for road sailing) was only equipped with the EB1 motor but with the twin Keihin carbs and a factory 4:2:1 exhaust manifold managed to squeeze out 70hp (25hp over stock). If you want to keep the motor as standard as possible but want more power then look no further than grabbing the crank and rods out of an EN/EJ 1300 engine.
