Default Supercharged 370z - Eugene Turkov - Tune Review

Alright, so my Supercharged Z engine blew up. I contacted my tuner, let them know, then got ghosted. It makes you feel like you want to sell everything and never look back. This won’t be about that though.
This will be about going supercharged, except, doing it right this time, through the spectacular service that Eugene Turkov and his shop Enthusiast Auto Care has to offer.

Communication

My experience with tuners is that you call them, leave a voicemail, and wait for a reply, if at all. However, Eugene is the only one that picks up immediately or replies within the hour. Multiple times, Eugene was able to guide me through crucial concerns over the phone: switching from 91 to E85, diagnosing a fuel / exhaust leak, and addressing a check engine light denoting lean conditions. Just recently, I was having issues with my car turning off while driving. I texted Eugene and he promptly gave me a call to troubleshoot it over the phone. That same day, he was able to take my car in and fix the issue. A faulty MAP sensor.

Tuning Services

This supercharged Z is my daily driven vehicle, so I want to make sure that no issues occur during normal day-to-day driving. With Eugene’s road tune, we were able to address knocking issues that occurred during red lights, stop signs, and in traffic. I assume that this would have gone unnoticed with a dyno tune. He also programed a flex-fuel option so that I could drive my car anywhere, without worry of what type of gas I need to put.

The car is primarily on E85. It starts without any issues, cold or hot. Driving feels as if stock during lower RPMs. However, you can truly feel instant power once you push the pedal in. And it’s smooth. You can feel the boost rising as you go through higher RPMS. Considering the cars I raced, I should be in the high 400s to the low 500s, with the conservative tune.

I’m surprised people do not talk about his flames. I am throwing 1 to 3 foot long flames! When mentioning it, he said that he could stop them by adding code to the tune. Nah, I’m keeping them.

Mechanical Service

Eugene looked at every aspect of my car when I first brought it to his shop. He sent me pictures of slight precipitation in the supercharger fluid and oil, rodent damage, misplaced inner panels, repainted exterior and more. He also sent pictures to update me on the motor swap progress. It’s been 6 months and 5k miles since the motor swap, and still no issues. The oil looks almost new. He pulled apart the blown engine and found bent rods which most likely occurred by turning off knock sensors.

California Laws

Alright, we all know that going supercharged in Cali is becoming more and more difficult. I want to thank Eugene for helping me acquire the proper documents for the car; from smog to VIN verification and the CARB legal paperwork associated with the Stillen supercharger. If you want absolutely no issues with Cali laws, see Eugene or look into his CARB legal twin turbo kit.

You can daily a Supercharged Z. You just need to make sure you have the right tuner.

*Test pipe modifcation was for track use only along with any custom tunes or builds.
