yeah, im more of a purist



but i would suggest u do some other mods first before u get a performance chip, so that you'll actually be able to feel the benefit of the chip and the goodies u got will be enhanced as well



chips can be expensive . . . is there anything specific ur hoping to acheive w/ tuning?

Jim Conforti Shark Injector software upgrade :thumbsup: can be found at www.turnermotorsports.com

or www.ecisbmw.com



it was $349 the last time I looked at the JC Shark Injector



you can get the intake there too.. .

[m3f_PurpleM3Pursuit]

definitly get the intake too or else you won't gain as much as u could.. more air = more hp

[m3f_Black328iS_4f40b49a23]

how does the Shark injector compare to the Dinan chip?...or is it not the same thing? i know almost nothing about stuff like that.

[m3f_PurpleM3Pursuit]

they both remap your fuel curve and also rid the car of the gov. the dinan would allow you to keep ur warranty (if you have one) and goes in and never comes out.. the shark reprograms ur ECU to the proper curve (set by JC) and u are able to store the stock data.. therefore when you want to replace the reprg with the stock.. u can do so.. and for those with warranties (like me) bmw doesn't find out that u have reprogramed the ecu.. but make sure if you get something from one company.. stick with it.. its make to work with its own products

[m3f_Black328iS_4f40b49a23]

i think im leaning towards the Dinan. but for a lesser budget, which would you choose? (if you were to keep modding with one company)

[m3f_cooltrav]

Would you recommend a jim conforti chip for OBI cars also? I've got a 95 Euro Spec M3. I noticed that they customize the chip to preform better with different mods you've done to the car. The choices are: Euro HFM, Light Flywheel, Euro HFM and Light Flywheel, and Euro HFM and 24LB Fuel Injectors. I'm not very familiar with the differences between the US and Euro spec M3s, but I would assume my car already has the things that the Euro HFM would add. Is this correct? Are there other differences? I've only added a bilstein suspension to my car, other than that it's a stock euro spec. Should I get the Conforti chip with the Euro HFM kit, or without the euro HFM? Or should I get a completely different brand and chip?

If you're interested I have a friend selling off his Dinan intake system for a 98 M3... C.A.I., Mass Air, etc... the whole package. The only thing not tranferrible is the engine programming. He is selling the car soon and trying to sell off the modifications prior (I bought the strut tower bars). If you're interested let me know, and I can put you in touch with him.

cooltrav you wouldn't need a new hfm with your car. I would suggest getting the Jim Conforti Chip and Exhaust, and when you get the chip call them and tell them to send you a chip for the euro spec and cold air intake and you should have some huge ponies on that. Especially because yours puts out a lot more than the US Specs already.
