Ok, so either I suck at searching or I missed something...

How much power can a stock S5 13B T2 engine make and with what size fuel injectors/turbo? Also, how much power can teh S5 T2 manual transmission handle?

I'm not sure how often this question gets asked, so I apologize in advance for being a newb...

 

Search!

 

I did, read the first line of my post...

 

Turbo II tranny can hold too much horsepower to break. A stock port S5 keg will net you in the ballpark of 300-400 depending on how good(new) the internals are. But thats going to be with a fat turbo and a hella good tune.

 

 

there have been known people pushing over 800 whp on moderately stock engines, ie no pinning, no hardened gears, no lightened or treated rotors, etc. how much power you push out of the engine is up to you and your wallet, size of the turbo and the rest of the add ons is what determines how much power you will make.

the T2 transmission is good to about 500WHP before you will start running into possibly rounding off gears. the diff becomes the weak point on launches at about 450whp.

a number of people have pushed out over 500 wheel horsepower on totally stock engines that had never been cracked open before, if that gives you any idea. right now i have a customer whos driveshaft is twisting under the stress of just over 400whp(it happens but is not common, sometimes parts just don't hold up where others can take much more abuse).

 

Karack - Thank you, that was exactly what I needed to know. Very informative!
