You need to retard timing.

Get a Fuel pressure guage. That Vortech 12-1 should easily make too much fuel for you (you are fuel injected, right?). I had to recalibrate mine down to 3-1 or it would flood the motor.

12:1 is standard for some cars, it really depends on the engine and injector size

Re: I turbo'd my Nissan Pathfinder y0

wow this setup is pimp. but, i dont think that resonator is doing anything there but choking the exhaust flow going to the turbo. the turbo itself disrupts the flow therefore reducing noise, and adding the resonator afterwards would increase its noise reducing capabilities. if you want to make it quiet, youll need it after the turbo. but deam that setup is gggg g unit.

what kinda boost are you running?

i put a gauge on it yesterday. 6 psi. It was enough to ALMOST hang with a local guy's late 90's mustang GT. lol. i think on 10 psi I should be able to take it from a roll. not bad for 4500 lbs with a SOHC 3.0L V6.

I think I may go ahead and kick back the disty timing a few degrees like some other guys suggested. I also need to richen it up as it is anywhere from 12-13.5:1 under boost and that's definitely asking for trouble. The detonation I was having was on some 85 octane I had left over in the tank though, and now that I have premium in there i'm not hearing it anymore. still would like to richen it up though, so im adding an 8th injector.

My goal with the glasspack was to reduce engine noise as much as possible, while keeping the turbo blistering loud like a semi.. lol. i also was trying to knock the kit out in one day. it wound up taking two, which was still quite an accomplishment seeing how many problems i ran in to. if i ran the exhuast to the rear i could add another muffler and scrap the glasspack, but this will just have to do because the mx3 is in need of attention and the track just opened for the season!
