Performance upgrades for your Aston Martin
Our Aston Martin work balances extra performance with the refinement these cars are built around.
ECU tuning for the 4.0 twin-turbo V8
The current Vantage, DB11 V8 and DBX use a Mercedes-AMG sourced 4.0 twin-turbo V8, which responds well to calibrated DMS software.
V12 calibration
Where supported, we tune the 5.2 twin-turbo V12 in DB11 and DBS, and look at what is realistic on earlier naturally aspirated V12 cars.
Gearbox software
Shift speed and torque management changes, where supported, so the automatic keeps pace with the engine tune and shifts more decisively in sport modes.
Exhaust valve control and titanium exhausts
DMS exhaust valve control lets you choose when the valves open, and titanium systems save weight and add character. We keep road cars within VicRoads limits.
Cooling and intake
Intake and cooling upgrades for cars that see sustained hard driving or track days, so performance stays consistent on hot Melbourne days.
Brakes and chassis
Pad, fluid and rotor upgrades, alignment and suspension setup to suit how you drive, from long-distance touring to circuit work.
Build your Aston Martin in stages
Start where it makes sense for your car and budget, then build from there. Every stage is calibrated in-house.
Software on a standard twin-turbo Aston, with gearbox and exhaust valve tweaks where supported. Gains depend on the engine and model year.
Software matched to exhaust, intake and cooling upgrades. Most owners chasing extra performance and sound find this the right balance.
Hybrid turbo and supporting hardware for twin-turbo cars, planned individually. On naturally aspirated models we focus on exhaust and chassis instead.

Proven software and parts
DMS Automotive supports Aston Martin with in-house ECU software, exhaust valve control, titanium exhausts and hybrid turbo options. We pair that with Magicmotorsport tools for reads and writes, and always keep your original file.
Before you tune your Aston Martin
Service history matters
We check service records, fluids, cooling and any fault codes first. A car that is due for maintenance should be sorted before any tuning.
Naturally aspirated cars are different
Older V8 and V12 cars without turbos gain far less from software alone. We will tell you honestly where exhaust and chassis work gives more value.
Gearbox and driveline
Each Aston gearbox has its own limits. We tune within them and recommend gearbox software where it is supported for your car.
Warranty and value
Tuning can affect factory warranty and should be declared to your insurer. We keep the original file so the car can be returned to standard if needed.
Aston Martin tuning questions
Yes, the twin-turbo V8 in these cars is well supported by DMS Automotive software. We confirm the exact options for your model year when you book.
Software gains on these engines are modest. Many owners get more enjoyment from an exhaust, valve control and a well set up chassis, and we will talk you through the options.
With exhaust valve control you choose when it opens, so the car can be quiet around home and louder when you want it. We keep road cars within VicRoads limits.
Yes. We back up your original software before any changes, so we can reinstall it if you sell the car or need warranty work.
