Classic Retrofit
Classic Retrofit designs and manufactures direct-replacement electronic upgrades for Porsche classic cars and classic EV conversions.
We also consult with OEM and bespoke build specialist manufacturers on HVAC and ignition systems.
Fits:
Porsche 911 1974>>1989
This kit and wiring is for cars without headlamp was and for cars that retain the washer bottle filler in the fuel cap bowl.
The Classic Retrofit washer bottle kit lets you replace the large, heavy washer tank fitted to G-model/Impact Bumper Porsche 911s (1974–1989) with the compact unit used on the Porsche 996 and Boxster.
This modern tank features an integrated pump and level sensor.
The tank, filler neck and pump are NOT included in the kit, but they are widely available on our website.
The kit includes custom brackets to mount the tank securely to the front wing support panel, behind the front wheel.
A plug-and-play wiring harness connects directly to the original pump wiring. The new level sensor can be wired to the fuel tank low-level warning lamp, giving it a dual function: low fuel or low washer fluid.
Kit contents:
Rear washer bottle bracket and top support bracket
Wiring harness for pump and level sensor
Tube for filler connection
Fasteners
The new tank can still be filled via the fuel-flap filler, as with the original system.
Note: Larger wheels/tyres or lowered suspension may reduce clearance to the tank.

Sold as a pair, these upgraded air ducts are a smart enhancement for the ventilation system on pre-964 911 models. They provide adjustable, directional cool air to your upper body while still channeling warm air to your feet. Each duct rotates, allowing you to redirect passenger-side cooling toward the driver for added comfort.
Compatible with both the factory ventilation setup and our Electrocooler AC system, installation is straightforward—just remove the original under-dash diffuser and fit our ducts in its place.
Crafted from high-temperature, carbon-fiber-filled nylon, these ducts resist warping or melting under heat. Before ordering, check the condition of your blend valve bases to ensure optimal performance.

The Classic Retrofit 8-pin CDI+ ignition unit is our direct replacement for Bosch CDI spark boxes used in many classic Porsche race cars, including the 911 RSR, 934, 935, 917 and 962. It was also fitted to the early 3-litre 930/911 Turbo and other race cars of the period, including BMW CSL.
Fitted in a replica CDI case, this unit is a wonderful upgrade for vintage racers where originality and reliability are equally important. It has been tried and tested in many vehicles, including several Le Mans winners still in circulation.
The Classic Retrofit 8-pin CDI+ unit requires no modifications to the original wiring loom harness or metalwork and is 'plug and play'. The soft and hard rev limiters can be programmed via a laptop. All CDI+ units have a 48 MHz microprocessor onboard to control ignition timing.
It is a little-known fact that the 8-pin CDI boxes provide better regulation over the output voltage than the 3- and 6-pin units. Our redesigned electronic system brings the original voltage regulation concept bang up to date, not just by providing even better regulated output across all of our CDI units, but also by offering true dual-spark output at a 400us interval that truly makes a difference to combustion, right up to 10,000 RPM.
Please note:
This part is on special order terms. It will be made to order and it is not a subject to cancellation or return if not required.

Our new, Gen 2 fresh air blower assembly for Porsche 911 models is designed to replace the ancient and noisy original fresh air blower.
As with all Classic Retrofit products, it fits straight into the car without modification, using the original electrical plug and Bowden cable work.
It is true plug and play.
Internally, the blower unit uses a modern double-cage fan which can move more air than the original. The real game changer is that it incorporates a modern parallel flow evaporator.
This allows a 911 with our A/C to get rid of the clunky separate A/C blower in the smuggler's box (LHD) or behind the passenger footboard (RHD). Two blowers are integrated into one modern unit, saving weight and space.
You can pair this blower with a traditional A/C system or if you want to join the electric A/C revolution, try our complete electric kit.
- Replaces original fresh air blower
- Double cage fan
- Parallel flow evaporator
- Recirculation function
- Plug and play electrical connector and Bowden cable
- Weighs 5.0 kg

Classic Retrofit replacement CDI+ ignition offers you bespoke modern electronics in a standard looking package. The CDI+ unit requires no modifications to the original wiring harness or vehicle metalwork and is 'plug and play'.
The CDI+ is a direct replacement for the 3 pin and 6 pin Bosch units fitted to Porsche 911's between 1969 and 1983 (and turbo models to ~1988). All CDI+ units have a 48 MHz microprocessor onboard to control ignition timing.
Advanced Unit:
The advanced unit allows the adjustment/tuning of the ignition advance curve and other features by plugging in a laptop. This can be achieved by 'overlaying' a curve on top of the distributor weights/springs curve or by locking the distributor and replacing the curve completely. Either way, you can unlock the true potential of your engine by adjusting fuelling and having the ignition curve to match.
The CDI+ has all the features of the basic unit but allow more flexibility in adjustment:
-Fully programmable ignition advance curve.
-Hard RPM limiter with adjustable ignition cut schemes
-Soft RPM limiter with adjustable ignition retard
-Launch RPM limiter
-Double spark at all RPMs
-Max RPM tell tale
-Shift Light output
-Clutch pedal input
-Tacho calibration
-Upgradeable through firmware updates

Basic Unit:
The basic unit is a plug and play replacement for the Original Bosch CDI. It will work with the existing distributor without modification and still uses the weights and springs for the advance curve. It is pre-set at the factory (to your specification) and has the following features:
-Hard RPM limiter.
-Soft RPM limiter.
-Double spark at all RPMs
-Shift Light output
-Tacho calibration
-Upgradeable through firmware updates (at one of our specialists)
-The following parameters can be adjusted using the hidden 'jog wheel'.
-Hard RPM limiter.
-Soft RPM limiter.
-Shift light RPM.
-Tacho calibration.
The basic unit can be upgraded to an advanced unit at a later date by one of our specialists.
