    hello

    I'm looking for information 'bout an overdrive "type J".
    How strong is he?
    Can a B230K (carburetor) 116HP run with it without probs? Even if I
    increase the HP a bit?
    Or should i keep looking for the stronger "type P"?

    greets lex

    They used the type J on 240 Turbos with a lot more torque than you'll
    ever get out of your B230K, so you'll have no problems.

    The J-types are very strong. They were also used on Triumphs in the 70's. I
    had one on a tuned Dolomite Sprint that was estimated to have upwards of
    170bhp. The overdrive never had any problems, and the car was sold with over
    110,000 miles on the clock.

    I've been pushing close to 200hp through a J type overdrive for a number of
    years now, no problems yet.
