Will an s5 Turbo2 rear end hold 500+ rwhp?
Guys, I am looking at installing an s5 t2 rear end, my question is will it hold 500+ rwhp on a daily driver? Also, without having to open it, factory rear? Thanks

i think the S4 rears are a little stronger. if they have been rebuilt and are in good shape they can withstand alot of power, ive heard up to 600whp. i personaly run the S4 rear in my 420whp rx7 and i do track launches on 10 inch wide slicks and i lay down 1.6 60ft times. ive been running the same rear for 3 years now and do alot of drag racing and street driving. you should be ok with a S4, your tranny or half shafts will break before the rear

It depends on how you drive it. On a set of street tires, your limitation will be the rubber. At those power levels the tires just spin. Launching on slicks will break anything.
