I currently own a 1997 328i. Can anyone give me their opinion of the Jim Conforti Shark injector, and if any e36 328's out there with one, please let me know! Thank you

welcome to bimmerwerkz...wat other mods have u done? my opinion is that dont get the shark until uve done some engine mods...

Currently the only engine mod that I have right now is the removal of snorkel and restrictor on the stock intake box and K&N high flow filter. I assume you guys are pros at this so what would you recommend for the next step(s)?

Thanks

haha

Im thinking about buying one too. If I did the shark now, and upgraded more later, could I do the shark again?

cold air intake(cosmos, jim confoti, active auto, or dinan), exhaust,and headers are the basics...s52 cams, m50 intake manifold, euro HFM, 24lb injectors would be other options to get before getting software...but u cant use those last 4 without software, so u would have to install all that stuff, call jim conforti or active autowerks, tell them wat mods u have, and they would send u custom software...

I know their chips can be "reflashed". So, being the injector is just a "program", it should able to be upgraded. Give Turner a call, they will be glad to help.

Sure. You can shark again, but you would have to pay for it again (may be less each subsequent time, but money nonetheless). Your money. Your choice. I would recommend that you get in touch with Turner and explain to them that you would like to do this by stages, and see what kind of deal -- if any -- they can work out for you.

exactly, i heard reflashing is a pain in the ass...so be sure and do ur research and post any other questions u may have before making a purchase....

Since the 328i boasts a "true" dual exhaust, how beneficial would it be to run catless, and actually how restrictive are the cats on this car?
