Why do I keep breaking belts?

There are several reasons why you might be experiencing frequent belt breakage on your vehicle. Here are the main factors to consider:

1. Improper clutch calibration: Ensuring proper RPM, upshift, and avoiding belt slap on back-shifting is crucial for maintaining your belt's integrity.

2. Belt quality: Use a high-quality belt, as there are significant variations in strength, compound, and layup among belts. GBoost's World's Best Belt is a next-generation design that outperforms other options.

3. Belt and clutch cooling: Idling after hard driving does not cool the clutches or belt, and may actually damage the belt by creating localized hotspots. To properly cool the belt and clutches, drive your vehicle at 4,000-5,000 RPM for 1-2 minutes before stopping, which generates sufficient airflow for cooling.

4. Misalignment: Factory belt alignment issues can cause the belt to run crooked. The Full Floating Clutch Mod was developed to address this problem.

5. Clutch air intake: Ensure your vehicle has an unobstructed and stock clutch air intake. Modifications to the clutch air intake or factory aerodynamics, a dirty clutch air intake screen, or any accessories that obstruct airflow can increase clutch cooling air temperature, leading to belt or motor overheating. Providing cool air to the clutch and turbo air inlet is essential for preventing excessive belt temperature and failure.

By addressing these factors, you can reduce the risk of belt breakage and extend the life of your belt. Remember to perform regular maintenance and inspections to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
