So, I will be finishing this post (by updating this specific post) in the near future, but I wanted to get some basics out there.
First off, the why:
There is no reason to go AEM V2 anymore, unless you find a deal on a used one
Price - Infinity can be had for $1200-$1300 for the EMS itself, and Boomslang makes a plug n play harness for our cars for $600. About the same as a plug n play V2. (you can also do a plug n pin kit for $70 plus the cost of wires and your time, or a mini harness (flying lead) for $140.
Features - Infinity does everything V2 does, but does it all better with a better tuning setup (VE). It also does traction control (you'll have to pin 4 wires under the dash for this). It is completely waterproof and can be mounted in the engine bay. It has USB logging (logging directly to USB thumb drive, which is included). There is more that I am missing, but as you can see, this is a great system.
Additional requirements - aside from the basics required for a V2 (MAP, coolant temp, intake temp), you should also have a 0-100 psi fuel pressure sensor wired to the Infinity. It uses fuel pressure as part of its VE calculation for easier tuning and better drivability out of the box.
I will post wiring diagrams soon, as well as a couple base "session" files that should start and run any IS300 with just a few modifications to your current setup.
Where to mount it: The Infinity is fully waterproof and can be mounted essentially anywhere. I chose to mount mine underneath the drivers seat, as that is where I already had ran wires for the V2 I replaced. Some things to note - there are two USB connectors on the front of the Infinity. The smaller one is for laptop tuning and logging. The larger one is for USB stick logging. Infinity comes with a short, waterproof cable for the USB logging stick. The end that plugs into Infinity is waterproof, the other end is not - it will need to be in the cabin somewhere. Infinity does not come with a waterproof laptop cable, though they are offered. There is room to mount Infinity 6 by the master cylinder if you want it in the engine bay - it is quite small.
