E36 M3 1995 Turner Motorsport Conforti Performance Chip (more info)

The E36 M3 benefits greatly from a TMS Performance Chip. Although premium fuel is recommended by BMW, the car is not optimized for it. Significant horsepower and torque gains can be had by switching to a TMS Chip and using 91+ octane fuel. Tuned specially for the E36 M3 on the dyno with Bosch expert Jim Conforti, this chip provides a smooth power delivery from low RPM up all the way up to redline. Conforti achieved this by altering the fuel and spark maps along with the cam timing to take full advantage of premium fuel. The result is a big boost in power, more usable torque, and a smoother-running engine. The rev limit is raised and the top speed limiter is removed. There are NO downsides to installing a TMS Performance Chip; it is FREE, easy-to-install horsepower.

Let us know if you are using an E36 M3 engine with these mods in an E30 and we will supply you with a special chip.

Horsepower Gain	+ 19 @ 5000 RPM

E36 M3 3.0 and 3.2 Turner Performance Chip for 21.5# Injectors (more info)

If you have an M3 engine and want to use the 21.5 lb/hr injectors (pink top, stock on the 2.8 M52 and 3.2 S52) we have the perfect chip for you. Instead of changing to the smaller 17lb injectors or upgrading to the full 24lb, you can use the injectors from the stock 3.2 M3. They are in-between 17lb and 24lb, allowing a little more fuel to compensate for intake and/or exhaust upgrades. Perfect for running headers with an intake! There are plenty of surplus 21.5lb injectors out there (we sometimes have them too, check out Used Parts section).

It’s usually not necessary to use bigger injectors but this gives you another option in your engine planning. This software covers almost all of the popular bolt-on upgrades, including the larger HFM (Euro or 540). Choose the mods/upgrades from the list below.

Note: we will not be offering this software for use with cams. More aggressive camshafts require the use of the Bosch 24lb injectors. The 21.5lb injectors are maxed out when used with cams.

Options

EWS-delete: required when using the silver 413 ECU in a car that does not have EWS (all chassis manufactured before 12/94)

Speed sensor delete: for an E30 with an M50 engine conversion, the signal from speed sensor does not make it to the DME, causing a low rev limit. We remove the need for the speed sensor signal to reach the DME.

EWS-Delete Chip For Bosch 413 ECU with silver label.

FOR USING AN EWS DME IN A CAR NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE EWS SYSTEM.

A lot of times when building a racecar or doing an engine conversion in an E36 the EWS-II system can get in the way, adding another layer of complexity to the job. Since racecars and engine conversions make up the bulk of our in-house work at TMS, we’ve developed a special chip to eliminate the EWS-II system from the DME. This chip is perfect for someone who bought an EWS-II computer without realizing what the system requires. The chip will de-activate the EWS-II code inside the DME, thereby allowing you to use the car in an engine conversion (E30 owners with M50 engines!), or on a racecar that has the EWS-II removed completely. It also has all of the benefits of the "regular" Conforti Performance Chips -- more horsepower and torque, increased rev limit (7000 rpm), top speed limiter removed, etc. In the past you would have had to track down a non-EWS computer. This chip saves you both time and money.

Performance Chip with Speed Sensor Delete (more info)

Performance Chips with Speed Sensor Delete

Pretty much all BMWs use a speed sensor to monitor rpm, ABS and traction control/ASC operation, windshield wiper speed, cruise control and of course the speedometer. In fact, the speed sensor is one of the most vital sensors on the car. The DME relies on the speed sensor signal to set the maximum rpm in each gear. Problems can arise if you have re-wired the car for racing use or with an engine conversion. Some of those problems are:

time-consuming re-wiring of the car during engine conversions or when building a racecar harness
low rev limits in each gear
installation of data-acquisition systems no longer use the speed sensor signal

What we have done is remove the lines of code in the chip that require the speed sensor signal. Instead the DME relies on the specific parameters and data points within the chip itself. The speed sensor itself remains installed in the differential cover since other parts of the car require its signal. This is not a catch-all answer to every problem that crops up with racecars or during a engine conversion. But like the other parts we have developed, it makes the job – and life – a lot easier.

NOTE: the speed sensor is different than the top speed governor. These chips DO remove the top speed governor, like all of our normal Performance Chips, but these chips are intended for people who have no use for the speed sensor signal.

To learn more about the speed sensor and how our chip can help you, click here.

You can add the EWS-delete feature to these chips as well. Because of the different combinations and variables with these chips it is strongly recommended you contact TMS for further info and ordering. Prices start at $299.
