How Strong is the 93 FD Rear End?
I want to know how much abuse the 93 rear-end can take. I drag race a decent amount and I would appreciate anyones input as to how much tyre the 4.10's can take. Can I jump up to Street ET's or do I need to stay away from that much traction and stay with Drag Radials like the Nitto 555R's?
Thank you to all.

Once you start making over 300+hp and launching your stock readend FD at above 6k. You will start breaking your read and axels.. Best bet is just invest and save the $$ up and get some 300m axels and a turbo2 rear or kaaz rear with a nice dif brace.. I've seen people break rears on the street and at the track our cars are not ment for drag racing we have to build them to handle the abuse..

So the FC Turbo cars had a stronger rear-end......hummmmm (thinking)......what was the ratio? 4.10?

You can try and source a TII lsd from an S5(not sure the exact years) and get a differential brace. Here is a link:

Bummer
I have a N/A rear end free from a friend of mine. I figured that the Turbo II would be 'beefier'. I'm not interested in making a 1/4 monster. That would be a waste of the RX-7's true roots and purpose. I still have the need to drag so I thought I would check with you guys. You've given me the info I need. I'll wait until I blow the one I have before changing.
By the way, are the Turbo 2 rear ends LSD?

What I really want is...
Actually, I really am interested in some ET Streets for next spring. I'll worry about the rear-end when it breaks. It's stronger than my LS1's and that car ran 11's.
Anybody wanna sell me some?

I'm using the FD rear end subframe assembly in a kit car which will have about 400hp and weighs significantly less than a FD, but I'm also going to be using V710s or an equivalent hoosier tire... Do you think I'll be breaking the stock torsen or the stock axles? I will be bracing the diff to the frame.
