Eugene said it might not be a good idea for a remote tune because the ethanol knock is different and comes on faster, but Hal said to me fuel does not matter for remote tuning. But I like the sound of Eugene, he sounds extremly knowledgeable. Last edited by shadow85; 05-31-2018 at 09:43 AM. |

Isn't this something you should have figured out before you started buying stuff?

Because of that, I would say try Eugene first -- the person with a Masters' in Computer Science, and who also works for one of the top American Aerospace engineering companies. Think about it. Your ECU is a computer, wouldn't you want to try someone that has a masters' in computer science to tune your car / work on that part of it? If anything, I would trust pretty much anyone with a masters' or higher in Computer Science engineering who also is deemed a Master ECUTek Tuner, and works for a top notch engineering company. That's just my .02 cents though. And if you don't like his tune, then write a review about it and let people know why you don't like it. That goes for anyone you get a tune from though, that way others can know about your experience with that person. And then just go straight to Seb who you know can be trusted by various recommendations on here by various people! I believe Sebz tune is $200 after all the gear is purchased, so it isn't much to be honest. Give "ByThaBay" a call / text him. He has very fast response times, as others have said; one of the reasons why Seb is very good is because his response times is very fast. Well, so is ByThaBay's response time. Text him, Email him, Facebook him, and he will also respond very quickly. Good luck! |

Go with Seb. It's great to have a degree in something but the school of hard knocks is very hard to beat. Seb learned from Greg from what I hear and he is the best 300zxtt tuner who has been doing this for a long long time. The experience coming out of the Specialty Z shop is amazing and it shows in their work. The customer service is also top notch. I am not sure about anyone else.
On a side note: I wonder how many 370z's Seb has tuned? NA, Supercharged, Turbo's, Ecuteck, UpRev, etc? I wonder if he keeps count. Last edited by Spooler; 05-31-2018 at 01:24 PM. |

So I told him I will just get a remote tune from one of the beastly Master tuners abroad. And yes I do favor and have absolute faith in Seb todo this job aswell as others on here. But the best I will be able to get from him is a road tune, data logging etc. There won't be any real time dyno remote tune from him because of the huge time difference between us. I am guessing there is stil no real harm in having the road tune from him for my target of 500whp? On the other hand, Eugene would be more likely able to give me a real time remote dyno tune I think, because our communication has been through all times of the day with each other when the workshops over here are open. |

Yay. So glad you decided to reach out to Eugene!!! He won't let you down. Thats for sure. And if he does, tell us about it. But if he makes you happy, tell us about that! The thing I love about Eugene is that he won't leave details out. He wants you to make sure you understand what is going into your tune. He will educate you on what is going into YOUR car, and he will tell you things like it is -- both good and bad to the best of his knowledge. He doesn't know every answer but, he is one of the most open book and transparent, knowledgeable tuners I know of so far. If there is something wrong or if he feels something won't go right, he will tell you straight up. And his communication is amazing for the people he works with. As you already experienced. Seb is also amazing too when it comes to communication. Let us know how it turns out with Eugene after all is said and done |

He probably has his reasons for doing so.
Its difficult for him to do his best when he cannot physically see your car and drive it for revisions and such. But yes, he can definitely be trusted. True as it may be -- he is not a well known tuner for the 370z and G37s, but I strongly believe once he gets the experience in combination with his current top notch knowledge about ECU systems and software programming, code writing in general, he is able to become one of the best known tuners in America. Thats my thoughts! |

Have you made a decision yet?
Ps: just because i can code java doesn't mean i can tune cars - which has a lot more physics knowledge involved. But surely the skills which you need for programming (esp professionally for large companies with complex systems) help you to analyze and solve complex situations.

Hi yes I have made a decision. I have gone with Sebs E-tune. I appreciate the help Eugene offered me, but I felt like he was doing it out of charity for me which is great but I wanted a full service service to get my car going. That is why I chose Sebastian, but I have no doubt Eugene could have been just as good option if only I had asked him for a full service.
Anyways, I have the base tune loaded from Seb and it ran fairly smoothly for my 1hr drive home with it. Temps and AFR seemed good. Will start doing some data-logging in the next few days for it. I am excited! |

I am currently working with Seb as well. Just waiting for a cable to come in and hopefully get a base tune flashed. I have the Stillen S.C. on a 350z HR, so I'm using UpRev.
