nitrous wiring help
I have just installed an innovative lc-1 wideband on my 07 z and am in the process of installing a dynotune wet nitrous kit. I have the microedge controller and my question is what wires will connect the gauge to the controller so it will cut off when it goes too lean/rich? Will it be the rca out plugs or one of the regular wires(maybe brown and one other color, i cant remember i will check tonight but i remember having a couple extra wires). Also does anyone have any info on where i would tap in to get the rpm signal, etc for the microedge? Any help for the wiring of all the nitrous accessories(heater, psi gauge, dynotune switch center, remote opener, purge etc) would be greatly appreciated as I have already mounted the bottle and ran the lines but kinda stuck on the massive amount of wiring that all has to be running together properly. Also would you just drill into the intakes or have a shop weld a bung for the jets so if you ever wanted to take it off u could just thread a plug in it? looking to get the project done asap then i will take lots of pics and post them. Thanks
Obviously you didn't read the post, I have an 07 HR z. I have the dynotune instructions, what I don't have is how to make it all work together, dynotune doesn't know which accessories you will be using so therefore cant offer much insight as how to wire everything together. The microedge controller will be the hardest part, now has anybody actually installed one of these in junction with an lc-1 that can offer some useful info?

I was going to post this earlier but didn't want to come off as sounding mean or anything, so don't take offense as I mean well.
Personally, I think you should probably let someone who understands wiring take care of it. If you can't look at the wiring diagrams and know how to wire those units, then that doesn't bode well, imho, considering how simple they are to do so. Hell, I suck at wiring and I could figure these things out. Just think, if you ever ran into issues, you wouldn't know how to troubleshoot and that's no fun.
Take some time and try to use logical reasoning to see if you can figure out what wire connects to what. If you can't come up with a final wiring diagram yourself, you should probably get some help. Not knocking you or anything; I just don't want to see you run into unnecessary, and possibly costly, trouble.

I don't have all the aforementioned units, and I'm not going to look up the manuals for each, but I can tell you that your AFR gauge should have extra output signal wires (ex. if you have an Innovate gauge with the LC-1, it's likely the yellow or brown). The RCA plugs are for different accessory units and if you're daisy chaining them or something, I believe.
The RPM signal, regardless of unit, can be tapped at your cylinder 1 (front passenger cylinder) or at the ECU. Just don't cut any stock wiring and just tap into them using wire taps, because certain ones are very sensitive to the slightest changes (ex. throttle body). It's been years since I messed with nitrous wiring, but I think it was the red/yellow wire (it's in the nitrous FAQ), unless it's somehow different for the HRs. If so, you should be able to find it using the Service Manual you can find online. Heater should be run separate, directly to the switch center, because what else would it need to work in conjunction with? Same goes for Opener and Purge.
This is seriously all laid out for you in the instruction manual, and should be common sense with a little bit of patience and reasoning. I'm not so sure you even read the manual, but that's irrelevant.
