Shark Injector - BMW Forum

Rooz · 02-08-2005, 06:47 PM

OK, am starting to think about getting a shark injector. BUT am having a hard time seing a $350 hole in my pocket...

Has anyone done this, and is it worth the $$$???

That the same thing as a chip?

YA... NOT SURE.. i'm sure that there has been others who have done it and loved it.. but some said it was a waste!! WHO KNOWS??

It really depends on the car itself. Every car is different. Some people notice gains, while some do not. Me personally? Zero gains. All it did was take off my governor and heighten my rev limiter. If I had known this ahead of time would I still do it? Hell yeah. $350 may be a lot of money, but I LOVE flying on the freeway.

So, you did notice a gain?

What am trying to find out is, does it give you a beter 0-60? Aka low end torque...

Bcs as of right now, my car is doing pretty great fromm 3k rpm's and up, but I want something to make it do good from 1k-3k rpms.

94BMW325i · 02-08-2005, 09:14 PM

umm wouldn't that involve under drive pulleys? Thought they made engine rev up faster?

Rooz · 02-08-2005, 09:48 PM

you talking about a gear ratio change?

Rookie · 02-09-2005, 12:18 AM

Ya what the hell is an under drive pully?

BaLAnCe17 · 02-09-2005, 12:33 AM

u dont have any lowend toruqe from 1000-2500 for a reason...its because ure supposed to lauch from a higher RPM than that lol. ure power is 3000+ rpm. GL trying to get that area more power. the only thing to do is midrange torque and upper RPM HP. the injector is like a "chip" for the OBDII cars. it just flashes new programing. and i would suggest the injector. just go for it lol

jshearer · 02-09-2005, 02:08 PM

I would do it I am gonna get a chip OBDI car. The underdrive pulleys is not the same thing as a gear ratio change. They help tp run your waterpump, powersterring and such relieving your engine from doing the same thus giving some hp.

Am sure he's talking about a change of gear ratio...

94BMW325i · 02-09-2005, 04:58 PM

Oh no I meant under drive pulley. My dads friend has them in his evo and he says it makes his car rev up faster. Plus I get to drive it again soon!

Injection will only help you at a higher RPM range.

Your car will never have power below 3k, that's just how our cars were built.

i think his ? is that is it worth $350. and i say yes. when i get my cai i will get the injector along with it. you now have more air flow to you engine w/ the same ammount of fuel. the injector remapps your fuel curves to work w. ure new intake. so save up and do it lol.
