Can what i think looks like a RT body kit onto a eclipse splash rail? And if so will there be any problem putting an xvalve on it?

Should be no problem as long as it isn't an original RT (Classic) body. An X-valve won't fit inside it.

I only ask this because that looks like a rt barrel

That looks like a standard powerfeed body, the RT bodies look like this (scroll down for pics)

You can see how the body is longer in the back and actualy covers most of the valve, and the front of the body is actualy longer and somewhat resembles a tech-9. As for the barrel, the crown points only differ in the twist lock grooves that are cut into the barrel. If the groove looks like a T then it is newer and can be used for either powerfeed left or right. If it is more like an L then it is an older one and will only be able to work for whichever side its set up for.

You will be able to use an x-valve with this body as well.

The one issue that I've had is that newer bodies have a round alignment guide next to the detent pin hole and the older rails have a rectangular hole and are not deep enough.

Nothing that a drill bit can't cure though.
