Looks good. I see an improvement in the Infinity with how they placed the rpm breakpoints on the bottom of the surface so now lowest rpm see's lowest load. It's not a big deal, but I prefer it this way.
Is your rpm dip during turning happen at low tps? .... in the V2 there is a cal that could fix that which is an rpm offset vs tps %..... so you could try increasing the idle target based on tps in that region and see if it fixes it.

Can this cold start better than a stock ecu ?:P I am assuming the only reason it needs a custom harness/jumper cable is because it's too now for them to make vehicle specific harnesses yet?

I'm very interested in the infinity! So it comes with a universal harness? I like how it starts fast unlike the v1!

Wonder how Infinity compares to ProEfi 128.

I know most of the Supra and big build guys still prefer it over AEM units. Reliability seems to be a big factor in that decision, as well as the constant free updates and added features.

Speaking of which I'll have my ProEfi 128 for sale soon lol

They now have an infinity 6/8 for like 1400 bucks. It is the same as the 10/12 like I have just a lot less inputs and outputs. Same processor, and awesome everything. It is also only a single connector so it is a lot cleaner.

I had to make my own adapter harness. The infinity will only ever come as a unit with its own connector so that it can remain weather resistant. It was easy enough to put together a jumper harness. Next time I remove the harness from the car I am ditching the adapter harness.

AEM does have some plug and play harness adapter kits already available. Just not for the evo yet.

So if I were in the market for a new standalone, it would be the Infinity 8h. The ecu is every bit as amazing as they say.

Something I should have thought of before ripping into mine This way you can swap ecu's whenever you need to giving that all of your sensors (o2, map...etc) are all still on the harness (assume ur on SD) and in the same location. The only downfall I could think of, is if you leave the stock front O2 sensor in the O2 housing then it might be damaged overtime.
I put my wideband upfront wired to front o2 and a jumper to the rear o2.. My stock ecu has ol tuned driving enough to get it to the garage bay. The jumper is incase I want to run mrfred's wbo3 patch. Never have to swap any wires. I'm on vi-pec but same princeples

Although if you're using aem's jumper to build one you could do what you wanted. I might have to order one of those up to redo mine

Just wanted to post an update.

The early version of the AEM infinity have an issue with the coil drivers. This will make it so your car cannot run a COP setup or a CDI. Now this is only on early versions of the infinity. I had issues with the Spoolinup COP, and so Matt got me his new CDI COP, which still did not work. I tried everything under the sun to get it working, traced back the wires put it on an oscope everything. Finally called AEM today and they let me know that the very early versions of the infinity require a revision to the coil drivers.

So I just wanted to post up this info because the aem forums are down.

That sounds great! Ap won't work, and it can't be fixed. I've been eyeing the infinity as an option. Mmm better evo.

I plan to run the Infinity on my car later this year. Definitely psyched about it.

Any real world testing done on high hp Evos? Not interested in start up vids.. With the lack of results from infinity I can see why people are looking into proefi.

I don't think that HP is a good gauge of how well an ECU works. The simple things are the items that affect you day to day, not the quick freeway pull of the drag strip run. I know for me it is all about how well my car starts, and idles, and cruises around town. Also an ECU is only as good as the tune on it.

The infinity and the proefi are the same style of ecu, they are both airflow based, so you will have close to the same results on both of them.

So my car made 608whp at 21psi on E85, not sure if that counts as high HP, but with that it also starts like a stock evo, and will idle very nicely at 1000rpm. Now where I live in SoCal, it does not get crazy cold so no way for me to test start the car in any weather colder than like 45*. But for me the car is very smooth.

The last thing, the Infinity has really only been out for about 1 year or so. It is not that old which is why you don't see a lot of videos. I will do my best to get more videos up.

Just wanted to post another update about the infinity.

They just released a new update v95.

The other thing I wanted to bring up is my favorite part of the infinity. The USB stick logging. OMFG it is fing amazing. Damn that is the coolest part of the infinity. I just leave my usb stick in and download my logs. It has plenty of space for lots of log data, and can record so damn fast it is not even funny.

Anyhow the infinity has been doing amazing for me.

Ran the evo at the track, and outside of the ignition breakup(stock coils) the car ran amazing. It is crazy how well it maintains the afr. So much better than the Series 1/2 unit.

Judging from the two plugs i'll assume you got the 8 not the 8h?
