Quad alt and no slip? LOOOL you have a beast setup then

2 alts

 

[Massive spl]

My dual alts don't slip unload at all

That has nothing to do with the computer.
When the belt slips it causes the engine throttle back so it doesnt break the cam.

This makes the brakes engage... check your belt and lower the idle rpm.

Cold start rpm can be left higher so it can girn the alts on.

That has nothing to do with the camshaft. The cam and crankshaft are connected with a timing chain, not by the serpentine belt.....

The computer has no way to know if the belt is slipping on the alternator pulley. There is no speed sensor on the alternator.

You completely pulled that out of your ass

Lol what? If it's slipping you have a problem that needs correcting

Yeah

No quad alt setup will not have some kind of slippage..
Unless your really under powered via amps.

Last time I checked my belt was not slipping

When the serpentine belt slips or breaks the camshaft velocity becomes faster due to less force.

This in turn can either bust the timing chain/belt or knock a piston out of place or even jam the cam shaft.

Newer 00-06 compensate velocity for rpm to protect engine damage.

06+ will shut the engine off to protect the sensors and timing.

This is all GM.

If you really are pulling power and driving your belt will slip.

If you are idle then the only way to slip is if your maxing your alts power.

If your really pulling power while driving it will not slip. I pull 700amps while drive and no slip

It becomes faster due to less force? It's connected to the crank shaft with a timing chain, so the camshaft speed is directly proportional to engine RPM

A belt slipping on the alternator pulley would add MORE resistance, not less resistance than a spinning pulley of an alternator that was loaded down.

Knock a piston out of place?? Jam the cam shaft??? No.......

Driving or not driving has nothing to do with belt slipping if RPM is the same. Driving at higher RPM won't make your alternator slip more than if it were idling

The more the alternator is pushed the more force it puts on the belt.

So if you are driving at a certain speed and the alternator puts force on the belt then it will likely slip especially with 4 alts having different loads.

If you thought you knew as much as you do then you wouldnt have had so much issue putting a bracket on..

Car Audio is not my best subject but mechanics is one i will best you at all day bro.

The more it is loaded down, yes it will have more resistance to turning.

How does driving make the belt more likely to slip than when you're parked and idling? It doesn't //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Knowing about belt slipping has nothing to do with installing a quad bracket, especially when mine didn't come with the right instructions.

I don't know if either is your best subject. Better keep looking

how bad is it braking at lights full tilt? im guessing you probably cant or the engine will die lol do your rpms drop even when you're going 50 and the bass hits?

A little update.

I load tested my electrical system today to see what the alternators actually put out at idle. I forget how much each one did individually :/

With all three high output alternators connected to the five group 49 batteries in the back (400ah), we loaded down my electrical as much as possible with the carbon pile machine in the shop. Pulling over 500 amps at idle from the system, it dropped to 9v at the lowest and ALMOST killed the engine, but didn't. The dial indicator on the machine only reads up to 500 amps, but we buried the needle way past that! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

Also, my belt did NOT SLIP even under extreme load //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I am no-longer worried about stalling the engine with my alternators. The lowest it drops to with my system full tilt at idle is 13.7v HOT on long notes.

Seriously you have NO fuggin idea how an engine works, stop posting this useless ****....

A properly designed bracket with good pulley wrap will NOT slip. Running quad 370's on a Burban with zero slip....thank god cuz I don't want to blow the motor LOL

If the belt snaps the motor will rev up a fuzz since it loses the alt load/PS/AC/smog pump/etc...

Do you seriously think the external serpentine belt controls the cam/crank sensors and camshaft????

I tried arguing with him, lol.

I'm guessing he's got the serpentine belt confused with a timing belt //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

My truck has a timing chain anyways, not belt

I would like to know where you learned all your mechanical skills from, please elaborate more. I want to know the 4 cycles of combustion and how they work. Are you ASE certified, cause if you are my RX7 needs higher compression pistons for more boost, I could pay you to put them in. Also want to do the piston rings on the wankel.

I dont touch rotary and am not ase certified.
