E46 Shark Injector OBDII Software: 1996-2005 Cars

Description:  Increase horsepower and torque in your 1996-2005 BMW!

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.

Why you will love this product -
+ more power and torque, particularly in the mid-range from 3500 RPM to redline,
+ quicker throttle response, giving the car a snappier feel,
+ a safe increase in rev limit (great for staying in gear just a little longer)
+ smoother-running engine with fewer hesitations and dead spots
+ top speed limiter removed
+ true DIY install with step-by-step instructions (no downtime while your computer is shipped somewhere else for the install)
+ Upgrade and Restore features to install/uninstall on the same vehicle
+ Upgrade-able via USB connection with your PC - add a file to better suit your mods
+ Retains all of your diagnostic, service, maintenance systems and won't interfere with your normal maintenance routines

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 low 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!

How does it work? The Shark Injector makes changes to the stock BMW software in the areas of fuel enrichment, transition fueling, camshaft timing, ignition timing, and VANOS control to take full advantage of 91+ octane fuel. BMW ‘de-tuned’ cars for the North American market in the event inferior fuel was used. We reverse those changes to gain more horsepower and torque. 91 or higher octane fuel must be used.

How does it install? The Shark Injector plugs into your car’s On Board Diagnostic (OBD) port, located under the dashboard in most cars. At the push of a button the Injector begins communicating with your car’s computer. The Shark handles everything from that point on – reading and copying the stock software, re-loading its own performance version, and checking its work along the way. The whole operation is completed in under 20 minutes. A battery charger with a continuous 10-20amp charge is required (available below if you do not currently own one).

Conforti Shark Injector for E46 325/330
325i 325xi 325Ci 330i 330xi 330Ci (E46)
2001-2006 Performance Software System for E46 325/330 2001-2006
Now works on ALL 2001 to 2006 E46! TMS / Conforti Performance Engine Software represents the most cost-effective approach to increasing engine performance. It has been dyno-tested to provide a safe increase in power by altering fuel enrichment, cam timing and ignition timing specifically for use with premium gasoline. TMS OBD-II Performance Engine Software also provides an increase in the factory rev-limit allowing for optimum shift points for maximum acceleration. Not only do we re-map part-throttle fuel and spark, we also re-map other areas of chips other tuners don't touch - such as acceleration enrichment, transition fueling (how the car responds to rapid change in pedal, and VANOS control as needed to optimize the vehicle for operation on premium fuel. This new software for the 2.5 and 3.0 engines is fully octane adaptive. It takes advantage of premium fuels from 91 AKI to 95 AKI and higher. There is no need for separate octane related variants with this software!

This Shark Injector works on all 2001-2006 E46 325 and 330*, including 325i, 325xi, 325Ci, 330i, 330xi, 330Ci (including ZHP package and the 325 with California/Mass SULEV engine, M56).
* - not for 330 with automatic transmission or SMG

Does your 325 have the M56 "SULEV" Engine? Many of the 325's produced for the US -- particularly in California, Massachusetts, and a few other states -- came with a different engine, the M56 which meets "SULEV" (Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle) emissions classification. A visual inspection of your engine (as shown below) is the best way to determine if your 325 has the M56 SULEV engine.

E46 M3 Shark Injector for SCCA T2 Class
M3 (E46)
2001-2006 E46 M3 SCCA T2 Class RACE VERSION Shark Injector
This software was developed on the dyno specifically for our 2001-2005 E46M3 that competes in SCCA's National T2 Class. Like our standard M3's Shark Injector software for the M3 - it removes the top speed limiter , increases horsepower (optimizes ignition timing, vanos and fuel maps for 93 octane gasoline) and is designed for a cat back exhaust, BUT this specific T2 software also increases the rev limiter to 8600rpm and turns off a few of the cars OBD2 systems that could cause the check engine light to illuminate (T2 rules say that the CE light must not be on after the race ! ) This software is recommended for race use only (mainly because of the high rpm limit) but will work on any M3.

A smog waiver is required prior to shipping. Download it here, then fax the completed form back to us: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/pages/Smog_Waiver_web.pdf

    E46 M3 Shark Injector (programmed for headers, no cats)
    M3, MZ3 (E46 Z3)
    2001-2006 RACE VERSION Performance Software for E46 M3
    The Race Shark Injector software has been specifically designed for race cars running headers and a racing exhaust with no catalytic converters. We have used this software with a number of different headers with great results! We recommend the factory BMW Euro headers because the fitment and quality is excellent and they produced a lot of power on our dyno. Using a set of headers without a catalytic converter will surely cause a Check Engine Light which will lead to problems during tech inspection and may disqualify you from the racing series you’re in. The secret to the Shark Injector Race software is that it 'turns down' the readings from the rear O2 sensors to eliminate codes for 'cat-inefficiency'. The DME will then rely on the front pair of O2 sensors and the stock EGT sensor only.

    This Shark Injector also includes Conforti Performance Software for a substantial boost in power and torque! The stock software is a little restrained and Conforti reengineers it to be more aggressive. He tunes his products on the dyno where real power and torque gains can be established. This software also includes:

    • 8100 RPM rev limit (8600 RPM available)
    • top speed governor removed
    • quicker throttle response in non-Sport and Sport Mode
    • smoother torque curve for better driveability
    • standard 91 octane setting or a more aggressive 93 octane version

    Note: this product is intended for racing or off-road type vehicles only. Turner Motorsport makes no claims or warranty in using this product for street use or to pass inspection (emissions, state, or otherwise). It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations.

    USB Cable for USB Shark Injector
    All (Z8 E36 E46 E39 Z3 Z4 X3 X5 E53 MINI)
    1996-2005 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).
