So tell me more about the Conforti Shark Injector

For future ref., DRLs are daytime running lights. Any e46 can be programmed to turn them on or off.

okay so problem SOLVED!!

i searched around some on e46 fanatics and found one thread where a guy recommended hooking up the charger directly to the battery in the trunk, instead of using the terminal posts underhood. i don't know why my dumbass didn't think of that last night! so i did that and the shark install went off without a hitch.

just took a spirited drive down the freeway, gassed it up, and drove home. curious to see how fuel economy changes. i can definitely feel an improved low-end throttle response. no more of that slight stumble off idle. shifting seems smoother as well. overall, even after one short drive, i'm pretty happy with how the car feels as a result of this mod. will report back after more driving.

thanks for the input guys.

I guess I didn't know where you were hooked in....

Great news. Keep us posted.

so since i last filled up, here are some early fuel economy readings. not even a 1/4 tank gone and 103 on the trip clock. pretty freaking good.



the difference before and after the shark install is huge. surprisingly so, i must say.

^ what does your MPG OBC say?

[webster]

as of 10:15pm tonight, 22.9. that is up from a reading of 20.5 taken right before the shark install (yesterday at 11am). i imagine it will only continue going up until it reaches 25 mpg or so. i drive pretty conservatively around town.

[danewilson77]

Yup...that's what I'm running. About 25-26 mpg with Shark and AFE, clean fuel filter, new fuel pump, and fresh plugs.

Daym, I need to get sharked....

[VA//M3]

I'm running Euro 3, and pulleys and get 26.4 mpg combined.

Does the Shark Injector only work with USDM tunes? What's the inherent risk of Sharking on a Euro tune?
