I can't get above 5PSI without my main serpentine belt slipping (16vG60)
I have a few options:
1) go to a larger pulley.
Pulley - Diameter
68mm - 213.62812
70mm - 219.9113
72mm - 226.19448
78mm - 245.04402
As you can see, the larger the pulley, the more mm's that the belt has to grip and the farther out it stretches the belt.
ie 78mm moves belt out 5mm farther from centre and gives about 16mm extra of grip (approx)
Disadvantage, less boost, have to remove SC to change pulley, need new pulley.
2) shorter belt, this would allow me to tighten the belt better and allow for stretching easier.
Advantage: easy to change belt
Disadvantage: may not solve problem.
Other options???
