Thread: How much power will an LT230 really take???

They have survived KOH
That's pretty torturous

KOH? What's that? Cheers.

King of hammers. Google. I've read that the lt230 is on par with the atlas t/case

Seems the axles are the expensive part
No project like that deserves rover junk

Not all LT230's are created equal, nor will they have equal strength.

Gear tooth size (module, or diametral pitch), width, helix angle and pressure angle have all been changed among the different flavours of LT230. And who knows if the material or heat treatment has changed over the years.

Even within each of the LT230R, LT230T, and LT230Q models, where the most significant changes are, the variations in ratio will also affect the capacity in high range.

There's some Puma motors in the UK already pushing 150kw and 560nm.

Not being used for comp work though - I would think intended usage would be a bigger factor than engine power?

Already tested to those power and torque levels. No new problems

Having just rebuilt a Lt230 my main concern was oil capacity the center diff and the output shafts . The failure of the shaft should`nt cause a TC destroying event.The gears appear up to the task depending on if steel or the usual run off the mill IMHO probably the best thing LR have ever put out
