Default RPM signal

Where would be a good source for betting a tach signal on a 92 turbo inside engine bay, The black/violet wire in EZ69 harness or just piggyback on to coil + terminal?

If its for data logging or a rpm solienoid switch you could use the black/violet wire on the nearest to the rear round plug on your ez69 unit

STU.P Do you know a good route to get a wire from engine bay into drivers compartment to access the black/green wire under drivers seat?

I ran mine with a big wire harness that goes through the firewall ..its under the pass rear seat
if you pull up the carpet its on the vertical part between the floor bord and the horizontal seat .
I was able to feed a wire and boost signal line without cutting anything ....everything can be put back so no one can tell it was there .

For other's future reference, the wire to tap behind the tach is black/violet. Did it for the Zeitronix and worked, don't forget to set the Zeitronix multiplier to 6.

Got this from somewhere on the internet, thanks to whoever found the info...

It's much easier to use the black/green wire in the 6 pin connector under the driver's seat. This will allow an easy connection to an LM-1 RPM converter in the cockpit without having to bring a wire through the tunnel/center console. Just solder a wire on top of the pin and re-assemble the connector. I recorded 10.7 V at 0 rpm and I estimate that voltage at 7000 rpm is 1 V.
