Alternator belt

[Amurray]

Ok need a little help. What would make a brand new alternator belt flip? This one is now no good. I lost one a week ago testing my car out. Had to shut her down due to not having a spare. Heck a few things happen that day......1. lost boost as the intake pipe blew off(note to self always bring tools 2. Lost on of the nuts for the engine bolt 3. lost my fan belt. All in all it was a good day

Have you checked the alignment of the pulleys? Use a long metal ruler or straight piece of steel to check.

They make a shim kit to solve alignment issues.

High rpm will throw a belt easier if the belt is a little loose or things aren't perfectly aligned.

Mine was doing this and It was caused by the alt. shim,, seems it didn't need one

Thanks, I'll try the "no shims" and see how that works. More testing this weekend. Also I think I'm going to switch to the "REV6" dual clutch before I go back to the dyno.
