6 Pin CDI Harness

This harness is designed to be a stand alone replacement wiring harness for the 911SC models using the 6 pin CDI system. Until now the only way to replace a damaged ignition harness on the SC models was to replace the entire engine harness. This is very expensive and time consuming to do. We have designed this harness to allow the mechanic to just replace the wiring harness that controls the ignition function of the vehicle. The harness will plug directly into the CDI Box, The Ignition distributor and coil. The only two connections that will require some plug dis-assembly are the 12V ignition connection at the rear fuse panel and the tachometer signal wire at the 14 pin plug connector. Both of these wires come with the correct connectors installed on the wires.

Fitting with other brand coils at your own risk.

Bluetooth programmable (Bluetooth Smart Wire required part no 90506)

Brand: Perma Tune
This is an upgrade for the ignition system. Basically it puts the load of the ignition system through the box rather than the distributor. You take the existing wiring and run it through this box and the points then become an earth trigger switch for the box rather than switching the coil.


This Model is the first of a brand new product line for Perma-Tune. We have combined our accumulated knowledge of Porsche ignition over the last 48 years and applied it to the very latest electronics technology to produce a state of the art electronic ignition module that is period correct looking. Made to look like an old school electrical relay, it blends right into the engine bay of a 356 or an early 911.

NO CRIMPS, NO MESS, NO HEADACHES
Plug and play features eliminate the need for wire crimps and complicated wiring diagrams. Wires are cut and stripped, then inserted into the wire bus for a secure, plug in connection without the need for special tools or wire crimps.

Simple, four wire installation. There is no need to interpret complicated wiring diagrams, the terminals are clearly marked so you know exactly where each wire goes.

NO DIALS, NO SWITCHES, NO PROBLEMS
Installation is easy. There are no dials to turn, no switches to set and no chips to plug in. The 356906 Perma-Tune comes to you pre-programmed and ready to be installed on a 356. You can always customise the module later using your wireless device to make secure, reliable configuration changes through the built in Bluetooth connection.

STRONG, YET FORGIVING
The Perma-Tune ignition module features on board diagnostics to help you install the module. The built in strobe light can help you check your ignition timing. It also has self resetting overload protection so there are no fuses to replace.

SMART CONNECTIONS
Use any kind of distributor you have. The Points distributor connection will work with breaker points or any aftermarket distributor.

The tachometer output connection is universal and will work with the stock tachometer or aftermarket electronic tachometer, shift light and RPM switch.

Power connects to 12 Volt or 8 Volt systems. Six Volt converters are not available at this time.

1987 24-Pin or 28-Pin DME – Which Chip Do I Need?

1987 was a transitional production year, with Porsche changing from a 24-pin EPROM to a 28-pin EPROM during production.
The only reliable way to determine which version your vehicle requires is to remove the DME control unit and inspect the existing chip
The original EPROM is a black rectangular integrated circuit fitted with a factory foil label displaying a sequence of numbers similar to:1267355xxx

Count the number of legs (pins) on the chip:

• 24 pins – This product is correct.
• 28 pins – You require the 28-pin version.

Please refer to the DME chip installation guide before ordering if you are unsure.

Specifically Developed for 1987 24-Pin Euro Specification Cars

This version has been developed exclusively for:

1987 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Euro/ROW specification 24-pin Bosch Motronic DME Standard rear silencer Sport rear silencer Manual transmission vehicles Standard or mildly modified engines

The default calibration is designed for 95 RON premium unleaded fuel.

For owners using 98 RON premium fuel, an optional dedicated calibration is available to maximise ignition advance and overall engine performance.

Why This Chip Is Different

Rather than modifying the factory programme, this calibration has been completely re-engineered to optimise every aspect of engine operation.

The revised software enhances:

• Ignition timing.
• Fuel delivery.
• Full-load enrichment.
• Part-throttle performance.
• Torque development.
• Throttle response.
• Idle stability.
• Deceleration characteristics.

Every map has been refined through extensive dyno development and real-world road testing to deliver measurable improvements across the entire rev range.

Performance Gains You Can Feel

The improvements extend far beyond peak horsepower.

Typical gains include:

• 6–8% increase in horsepower and torque across the powerband.
• Approximately 12–16 bhp increase on standard engines.
• Around 20 lb-ft increase in torque through much of the rev range.
• 10–20% increase in part-throttle torque and engine efficiency.
• Up to 25–35 bhp improvement around 6,500rpm in certain operating conditions.
• Stronger acceleration from just 1,500rpm.
• Elimination of the familiar hesitation below 4,000rpm.
• More responsive acceleration to the rev limiter.

Cars fitted with polished intake runners, sports silencers or improved induction systems may achieve even greater gains, as the revised calibration allows the engine to make full use of the additional airflow.

Dramatically Improved Drivability

Owners immediately notice improvements in everyday driving, including:

• Smoother idle.
• Virtually eliminated idle hunting.
• Reduced RPM dip during deceleration.
• Reduced overrun popping and backfiring.
• Sharper throttle response.
• Increased low-speed flexibility.
• Stronger mid-range acceleration.
• Improved overtaking performance.
• More progressive engine response.

The revised torque curve gives the impression that the car has become substantially lighter, making it more responsive in every driving situation.

Optimised for Standard or Sport Rear Silencers

Many Carrera owners fit sports rear silencers expecting substantial power gains, but the factory Motronic software continues to use conservative ignition and fuelling strategies.

This calibration has been specifically optimised for:

• Standard factory silencers.
• Performance rear silencers.
• Improved exhaust flow.

By optimising ignition timing and fuel delivery, the engine is able to fully exploit these upgrades while maintaining excellent drivability.

Improved Fuel Efficiency

While performance is the primary objective, optimised part-throttle calibration also improves engine efficiency.

Many owners report highway fuel economy improvements of approximately 10–15%, depending on vehicle condition, fuel quality and driving style.

Benefits

Installing this OE Match Performance Upgrade Chip provides:

• Increased horsepower.
• Stronger torque throughout the rev range.
• Sharper throttle response.
• Smoother idle quality.
• Reduced hesitation.
• Improved flexibility in everyday driving.
• Better compatibility with sports silencers.
• Faster overtaking performance.
• Potential motorway fuel economy improvements.
• One of the highest performance gains available per pound spent.

Performance Upgrade Chip 24-Pin – Euro Spec with SSI or Race/Performance Headers

Unlock the full potential of your 1987 Euro specification Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 with this OE Match 24-pin Performance Upgrade Chip, specifically developed for cars fitted with SSI heat exchangers or race/performance headers.

 Fits:

• Porsche 911 1987 3.2L G50  

This dedicated calibration is designed for the Bosch Motronic DME used in 1987 Carrera 3.2 models equipped with a 24-pin EPROM. It is not a generic, one-size-fits-all programme. The software has been developed to suit the increased exhaust flow created by SSI systems, tubular manifolds and performance headers, allowing the engine to make better use of these upgrades through revised ignition and fuel mapping.

The result is stronger low and mid-range torque, sharper throttle response, smoother idle quality and more usable power throughout the rev range. The familiar hesitation below 4,000rpm is substantially reduced, with improved response available from as low as 1,500rpm.

For owners who have already upgraded the exhaust system, this chip is one of the most cost-effective ways to ensure those hardware modifications deliver their full performance benefit.

1987 Model Owners – How Do I Know Whether I Have a 24-Pin or 28-Pin Chip?
The 1987 model year was a transitional period during which Porsche changed from a 24-pin EPROM to a 28-pin EPROM.
The vehicle model year alone is therefore not enough to confirm compatibility.
The only reliable way to identify the correct version is to open the DME control unit and inspect the original chip.

The factory EPROM is typically:

• Black and rectangular
• Fitted with a matte foil sticker
• Marked with a number similar to 1267355xxx

Count the chip legs:

• 24 pins: this product is correct
• 28 pins: order the 28-pin version instead

Always confirm the pin count before ordering. Refer to the DME chip installation instructions for guidance on safely accessing and identifying the existing EPROM

Specifically Developed for the 1987 Euro 24-Pin DME

This Performance Upgrade Chip is intended for:

• 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Euro/ROW specification engines
• Bosch Motronic DME with 24-pin EPROM
• SSI heat exchangers
• Race headers
• Performance exhaust manifolds
• Standard or performance rear silencers
• Standard or mildly modified engines

The standard programme is calibrated for 95 RON premium unleaded fuel.

A dedicated 98 RON calibration is also available for customers who consistently use higher-octane fuel and want the ignition and fuel maps optimised accordingly.

What Does the Performance Upgrade Chip Do?

The chip replaces the original EPROM programme within the Bosch Motronic DME and revises the engine management calibration to suit the car’s exhaust configuration.

The software optimises:

• Ignition timing
• Full-load fuelling
• Part-throttle fuelling
• Throttle response
• Low-speed torque delivery
• Mid-range power
• High-rpm performance
• Idle stability
• Deceleration behaviour
• Compatibility with increased exhaust flow

The factory Motronic software was calibrated for the original exhaust system. When SSI heat exchangers or performance headers are installed, the engine can flow more air, but the standard DME programme cannot fully optimise that change.

This dedicated chip helps ensure the engine receives the correct fuelling and ignition strategy to support the freer-flowing exhaust.

Developed from the Ground Up

This calibration was not created by making a few basic changes to the original factory software.

The programme was re-engineered through hundreds of hours of code development, road testing and dynamometer evaluation across a wide range of Carrera 3.2 engines. This extensive testing has identified areas of performance, drivability and efficiency that are not addressed by generic aftermarket chips.

The wide range of available programmes allows the calibration to be matched to:

• Engine market specification
• Exhaust configuration
• Fuel octane
• Intake modifications
• Owner preference
• Overall engine specification

This ensures a more appropriate setup than a universal chip intended to work with every vehicle.

Stronger Low and Mid-Range Torque

One of the most noticeable improvements is the stronger torque delivery at low and medium engine speeds.

The revised calibration helps the engine respond from approximately 1,500rpm, reducing the need to constantly downshift and making the car feel more immediate in everyday driving.

Typical improvements include:

• Stronger acceleration from low rpm
• Increased mid-range pulling power
• Sharper response to small throttle inputs
• Reduced hesitation below 4,000rpm
• Improved overtaking performance
• Greater flexibility in higher gears
• More responsive corner-exit acceleration
• Improved throttle modulation during autocross and fast-road driving

The broader torque curve can make the vehicle feel considerably lighter and more energetic without changing the engine’s fundamental character.

Smoother Idle and Improved Drivability

The revised software also targets common Carrera 3.2 drivability concerns.

It can help reduce:

• Idle hunting
• Sub-idle rpm dipping during deceleration
• Hesitation when returning to idle
• Deceleration backfiring
• Uneven low-speed response
• Flat spots during part-throttle acceleration

This creates a smoother transition between idle, part throttle and full load, improving both urban drivability and performance use.

Expected Performance Gains

Typical claimed gains include:

• Approximately 6–8% increase in horsepower and torque across the powerband
• Around 12–16hp on otherwise standard engines
• Approximately 20 lb-ft of additional torque through areas of the rev range
• Around 10–20% improvement in part-throttle torque, horsepower and efficiency
• Stronger power delivery from 1,500rpm to the rev limit
• Potentially greater gains on engines with SSI systems, polished intake runners and other airflow improvements
• Up to approximately 20hp on suitably modified engines

In certain areas near the top of the rev range, gains may be substantially greater than the peak-to-peak figure because the revised software can reduce the power drop-off found with the standard calibration.

Actual results will vary according to engine condition, exhaust specification, induction setup, fuel quality, ambient conditions and dynamometer method.

Why SSI and Performance Headers Need Matching Software

SSI heat exchangers and race/performance headers improve exhaust gas flow by reducing restriction and improving scavenging.

However, the original DME remains programmed around the factory exhaust system. At full load, the Bosch Motronic system relies heavily on pre-programmed fuel and ignition maps. It cannot automatically make full use of major airflow changes.

A matched performance chip helps by:

• Supporting the increased exhaust flow
• Adding appropriate fuel under load
• Optimising ignition timing
• Improving engine response
• Strengthening high-rpm performance
• Reducing the limitations of the standard map
• Maximising the benefit of SSI or header installation

Without corresponding software changes, the full value of a performance exhaust system may not be realised.

Potential Fuel Economy Improvement

Although this chip is primarily a performance upgrade, the revised part-throttle and ignition mapping may also improve cruising efficiency.

Many customers report highway fuel economy improvements of approximately 10–15%, depending on vehicle condition, driving style, fuel quality and operating conditions.

These figures are customer-reported and should not be considered guaranteed.

Installation Recommendations

Professional installation is recommended.

Before ordering, confirm:

• The vehicle is a 1987 Euro/ROW Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2
• The DME contains a 24-pin EPROM
• The car is fitted with SSI or performance headers
• The preferred fuel programme is 95 RON or 98 RON
• All additional engine and exhaust modifications are declared

Before installation, inspect:

• Spark plugs
• Distributor cap and rotor arm
• Ignition leads
• Fuel injectors
• Fuel pressure
• Airflow meter
• Intake hoses and vacuum lines
• Valve clearances
• General engine service condition

A healthy engine and correctly functioning ignition and fuel systems are essential for achieving the intended results safely.y.
