Belt slippage after upgrading to SI trim and turbo guard filter

Mariokart · 09-14-2020, 11:45 PM

Ok so I rerouted the supercharger belt correctly and the slip was exactly the same. After some inspection it turns out I'm getting slip on the serpentine belt (visable belt dust) . I have the additional Tbatt pulley and using Gates® K081088HD belt currently but doesn't seem to be enough. Any reccomendations? Possibly different tighter belt? I noticed the belt isn't super tight.

If your belt is slipping with the Tbatt upgrade and you have confirmed its serp side then either your belt is trashed or your auto tensioner has given out.

Thank you mate, I'm going to replace both to be on the safe side. 👍
