S3 rotors in a S5

S3 rotors in a S5
So I am looking to upgrade the motor in my GSL-SE. I have a series 5 motor I will be streetporting and rebuilding. I am after the higher compression, and higher RPM the series fives have due to thier lighter rotors, however, I really like the awesome low end torque the S3 motor has due to its way heavier rotors.
I am wondering if I could use the GSL-SE (S3) rotors in a 91 NA 13B (S5)? If so would I lose the higher RPM and higher compression the S5 puts out?
I plan on building a Franenstien after this that includes;
Bridgeported 12A plates
GSL-SE housings
S5 or Renesis rotating assembly
All oil mods
hardened internals
Webber 48IDA
and so on..
Please let me know what you think. If you know of anyone who has done this in the past I would be curious to know.

I could be wrong but arent the S3's 1.2L and the S5's 1.3L?
Wouldn't that mean the housing/rotor are different sizes?
I could be wrong, but I don't think thats going to work...

Well, expensive as it is, why not get some brand new RX8 rotors instead, with their redesigned side seal technology ( I swear I watched a video about how the RX8 side seals are different than the FC ones) EVEN lighter weight, and higher compression? IF you have the $$$ then that would be awesome!
