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 803/809 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.

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:
"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. If the injectors were not purchased from us, we may as for the Bosch part number on 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! If you did not purchase the HFM Kit from us, we may ask you for the Bosch part number from your HFM.

DBALZE, 323Ci: "The shark injector is awesome! After I put it in, I could definitely feel the quicker throttle response and more power throughout the acceleration curve. Definitely worth the money to me!"
chrisct, 323Ci: "I installed an XXX short ram cold air intake and the shark injector on my 323Ci and I couldn't be happier. For me the biggest advantage was smoothing out the throttle response, but it definitely feels snappier."
hqbmw, 328Ci: "This Shark really woke up my 328Ci. Cost per performance increase is as good as it gets! Also getting 10 to 15% better fuel economy in "normal" driving."
huyner328, 328Ci: "First change I would like to mention is the increased throttle response, as soon as I shifted and floored it, the car would pull. From 3400rpms to about 5000rpms I think was the sweet spot that gave me a nice little grin on my face. Next I tested the Redline of my car, yup another grin on my face. I definitely noticed that the car moved a little bit quicker with not as much gas consumption on the MPG Gauge. Overall, awesome mod."

Performance software is a  must-have  upgrade on your BMW and you won't find an easier and better software solution than the Shark Injector. Developed by BMW tuning expert Jim Conforti, this device plugs into the car's diagnostic port and flashes new performance files into your car's engine computer (ECU). This particular file includes Stage 1 engine tuning (fuel, ignition, timing upgrades) with EWS-delete programming. There's no removal of the ECU and shipping, no cables, no laptop required - only a battery charger! Installation takes just a few minutes and your engine will perform like never before!

The M52/S52 performance software was developed on the dyno to create maximum power and torque using premium 91+ octane fuel while maintaining BMW reliability and smoothness. The software makes changes to the ECU's maps and algorithms for fuel injection, ignition timing, VANOS and camshaft movement, and transitional fueling. We modify the maps for part throttle and full throttle so you get better response and more torque at all RPM. We also raise the rev limit to 7,000 and remove the top speed limiter. By fine tuning these maps we've been able to improve the S52 engine beyond what BMW did by making more power and torque and a smoother-running engine.

The programming for EWS delete will allow you to use a spare ECU to run the engine. If your original ECU fails, and you find yourself buying a used ECU, you won't have to tow the car to the dealer to have the ECU synced to the car's EWS system. This is also the perfect software solution if you installed an S52 engine in your E36 323/328 - just plug in the M3 ECU and flash with this Shark Injector. This Stage 1 file will bypass the EWS code and give you all of the benefits of our Stage 1 tune.

Stage 3+ Performance Software for E36 M3 (M50 Manifold + Cam Kit)

Conforti Shark Injector performance software tuned for the an awesome OBD2 package: M50 manifold, Schrick camshafts, "24lb" injectors, Porsche 3.5" HFM, and intake. This software makes full use of the benefits of the M50 manifold when used with cams and the HFM/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:
"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. If the injectors were not purchased from us, we may as for the Bosch part number on 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! If you did not purchase the HFM Kit from us, we may ask you for the Bosch part number from your HFM.
