Aquamist HFS3 water/meth install help needed

After much research I can't find any install information specific to the 335. Can someone chime in if they have any details specifically to the 335 wires I need to locate? Map, injector - pin. Also, want to use as much fail safe as I can so wondering if the pink wire can be implemented. (I'll put up a picture).

No you can't use the pink wire there is no option for map switching based on voltage input. Use the hsf4 wiring diagram to figure out any other wires you need to tap.

Are you trying to do this standalone or with a piggyback?

As standalone. Not sure if I follow HFS4 100% or just for what the hfs3 wants me to tap in to. Hence ign, and map

I actually have the same kit and have been considering setting it up standalone and getting rid of my procede entirely since it's just a pain to deal with. I believe the procede and meth are set up in conjunction, so I'll take another look at it. I'll see if I can get a picture or more information on how it's set up, maybe it will help somehow.

I found this. It notes the 335 but any other directions I've found don't really note using the green connection. I'm confused that Aquamist said they don't have any instructions for the 335 but then I find this that notes the 335 right on it. I have everything run and in place, including the green cable. I'm literally an hour away of being done if I had concrete install instructions.

For some reason I thought hfs3 was not compatible with N54 /Di but it seems otherwise by your diagram. Did you contact howerton ?

That is not entirely true. Map switching for Procede is based on methanol flow. The flow sensor in the aquamist kit I believe can output a 2.5 voltage to the pink wire.
THe pink wire is then connected to procede flow wire and it will change maps when there is methanol flow. You have to configure it on the aquamist board to allow for a pink wire to output voltage. I believe you have to soder a specific connection on the circuit board.

I have looked into this because Aquamist no longer sells a standalone flow sensor and in order to have their new flow sensor with Procede I would have to get the entire system in the future if my flow sensor takes a dump. As of now there is not one vendor who sells a flow sensor that is capable of handling a meth volume more than 50/50. Aquamist hardware is the best on the market

Maybe because the N54 has piezo injectors using high voltage (90v) signal. This could fry the HFS3 controller?!

N55 has solenoid direct injectors, 12v as for port injection

Okay. The last thing I've seen is to follow the HFS6 installation instructions. Yet another contradiction. Help?
