BMW Shark Injector Performance Software, 1996-2005 Models
If you're planning on using the Shark Injector to add performance engine software to your BMW, a battery charger such as this one is required. We recommend this charger unless your car has the Daytime Running Light feature activated. In that case a charger with a 20amp setting is required.

Shark Injector Performance Software Upgrade for 1996-1999 E36 323/328 and 1996-1999 E36 M3.
The Shark Injector is an amazing hand-held unit that plugs into your car’s diagnostic port and re-flashes the computer with performance software. The software was developed by renowned BMW tuner Jim Conforti, who has nearly 20 years of BMW engine tuning experience. The Shark Injector is one of the safest and most cost-effective enhancements you can do – offering features and results that other upgrades simply cannot touch. The Shark Injector is also upgrade-able through its own USB port, allowing you to upgrade to different software as your needs and modifications change.
This software is a major refinement of the stock software. It makes the car much easier to drive with less hesitation, more torque, and incredibly smooth operation. A lot of tuning has been done at the middle RPM ranges to improve response. The car won’t hesitate or lag, making the car easier to drive. And with the extra torque you can drive in a higher gear and not have to downshift as often. Theoretically this means better fuel mileage too!

Anonymous, 323is: "I purchased my first Shark for my 1999 - 323is (e36). I installed it during work today and had a GREAT time driving home on I495. My wife actually had to call me to find out what was taking so long. She didn't know I was having the most fun I've had since I first purchased my BMW! I would definitely recommend this new product to all the 323is owners."
Gary, 328i: "I own a 1997 328i and recently installed the Conforti Shark Injector and Intake Kit, as well as a Borla exhaust and a B & M sport shift kit. I am very impressed with the amount of performance I was able to gain."
Manny, E36 M3: "Just "sharked" my E36 M3. All I can say is WOW. The car has never run so well. The idle and the engine overall is so smoooooth! The throttle is very responsive, power is right there. Very Nice! Never putting it back to stock! Just wanted to say job well done, and thanks."
Josh, E36 M3: "Just got done putting on my Supersprint exhaust, Shark injector and my intake, wow what a difference. Thank you guys for the performance, I will be a lifetime customer."

Stage 3+ Performance Software for
E36 328i/is/ic, E39 528i, and Z3 2.8 (M50 Manifold + M3 Cam Kit)
Conforti Shark Injector performance software tuned for the an awesome OBD2 package – M50 manifold, M3 S52 camshafts, and intake. This software makes full use of the benefits of the M50 manifold when used with cams and intake. Without the software, you’re not getting the full effect of these upgrades in the upper rev range. The stock software – or a regular Shark Injector – is tuned for low-end torque using the stock manifold and cams. It’s like a marathon runner in a 40-yard dash – he’ll put in a good effort but won’t be the quickest! Special attention was paid to the low-end and mid-range too so that torque was not lost with the M50 manifold.
With this software you will notice more top end power, a broader torque band, and a smoother running engine. The rev limit is raised to 7000 RPM with the top speed limiter removed. Works with 91 or higher octane fuel.
Required:
E36 M3 MZ3 S52 stock camshafts
M50 intake manifold
This programmer works for the 1996-1999 E36 328i, 328is, 328i convertible, 1997-1998 E39 528i, and 1997-1998 Z3 2.8

Stage 2 Performance Software for E36 M3, MZ3 (Turner-Porsche 3.5" HFM, larger injectors)
Conforti Shark Injector performance software tuned for our Stage 2 OBD2 package – larger fuel injectors, Porsche 3.5” HFM, and intake. This is the correct software to use with the desireable Porsche 809 HFM on the OBD2 E36 M3. You should not be running a larger HFM without software and injectors - you're in danger of running too lean! On the dyno we found that the stock fuel injectors were not capable of providing enough fuel to keep up with the increased airflow. This "leaner" fuel mixture was dangerous as it could lead to hotter combustion temps and burning or melting of critical components. With the correct HFM, larger injectors, and this software you will be back to running correct air-fuel ratios.
The rev limit is raised to 7000 RPM with the top speed limiter removed. Works with 91 or higher octane fuel.
Required:
"24lb" injectors (actually around 26lb injectors when used at the S52's 3.5 bar of fuel pressure). You must confirm the injector flow-rate at 3.5 bar before using this software. At the time of your order, please provide us with the Bosch part number from your injectors.
Porsche 809 3.5" HFM (0 280 217 809) (TMS/Porsche HFM works best) with intake. Note: this will not work with a Euro HFM, 540 HFM, or Dinan HFM. Our software is programmed and written specifically for the Porsche 809 HFM! At the time of your order, please provide us with the Bosch part number from your HFM.

Stage 3 Performance Software for
E36 M3, MZ3 (HFM/Cam Kit) (stock S52 manifold)
Conforti Shark Injector performance software tuned for the an awesome OBD2 package – Schrick camshafts, "24lb" injectors, Porsche 3.5” HFM, and intake.

Stage 5 Performance Software for
E36 M3, MZ3 (HFM/injectors/cams/headers/no cats)
Conforti Shark Injector performance software tuned for the highest level of our OBD2 kits - Schrick camshafts, "24lb" injectors, Porsche 809 3.5” HFM, intake, headers, and race exhaust (no cats). This software is tuned around the stock S52 manifold but will work with an M50 manifold as well. This software turns down the sensitivity of the post-cat oxygen sensors so that fault codes and check engine lights for no cats will not appear. This is the full-bore Kit - tuned for every bolt-on upgrade we sell.
With this software you will notice more top end power, a broader torque band, and a smoother running engine. The rev limit is raised to 7000 RPM with the top speed limiter removed. Works with 91 or higher octane fuel.
Optional Speed Sensor Delete - Since this software is intended for race or track use only, there is one additional feature we can build into the programming. The Speed Sensor is built into the diff cover - an area prone to excessive heat. During endurance races or very hot track days, the sensor can malfunction or actually melt. If the engine DME does not see this signal, it will restrict RPM to 5500, obviously killing your speed! This optional Speed Sensor delete programming will tell the DME not to care if the sensor is sending a signal or not. It will set the maximum RPM to 7000 RPM electronically.
Required:
"24lb" injectors (actually around 26lb injectors when used at the S52's 3.5 bar of fuel pressure). You must confirm the injector flow-rate at 3.5 bar before using this software. At the time of your order, please provide us with the Bosch part number from your injectors.

This USB cable is compatible with the newer version USB enabled Shark Injectors, which are distinguished by the small USB port located on the face of the device. In the past, when a Shark Injector owner needed an update made to his/her software, it required physically shipping the Shark Injector to Turner Motorsport for us to make the update for you. Advances made in the latest generation "USB" Shark Injector now make it possible for YOU to apply this type of update from your home computer, eliminating the hassle of shipping and waiting for your Shark Injector.
This cable, when combined with any Windows based PC (or Mac running Windows via Bootcamp, VMware, Parallels, etc) and a SOON-TO-BE RELEASED Software Update application allows updates to be applied to the Shark Injector's programming. As periodic updates are released, we'll be able to email you updates to your Conforti Shark Injector, free of charge.
Please note, this cable is NOT required to install the Shark Injector, and is only used when performing updates to your Shark Injector. Should you require updates to your Shark Injector at a later date, you may acquire the cable then -- or you may purchase the cable now to keep with your Shark Injector for future use, if needed (recommended).
