Tuned at JF Automotive, MaidstoneDecember 2016Figures from our dyno data

We remap the full Aston Martin range, from the 4.3 and 4.7 V8 Vantage and the 5.9 V12 DB9 and DBS to the turbocharged 4.0 V8 and 5.2 V12 in the DB11, DBS Superleggera and current Vantage. On the naturally aspirated V8s and V12s the gain is measured in throttle response and mid-range torque with a modest peak increase; on the turbocharged cars it is larger, with the DB11 V8 going from 510hp and 650Nm to around 560hp and 800Nm. Every car is baselined and proven on our 4WD linked dyno, and the original file is kept for a return to standard.

JF Automotive - a Kent UK based company have become market leaders for ECU re-calibration for more power and enhanced fuel efficiency. Calibrating software to the highest level requires passion and enthusiasm and we strive to impart this into your vehicle to deliver a fulfilling sensation every time you drive.

Aston Martin Engine ECU Remapping

Aston Martin ECU Remapping will offer great power and fuel economy enhancements , however as with most vehicles the peak power gains are only half the benefit. You will also find power delivery earlier in the rev range due to additional low down torque and sharper throttle response along with vast improvements to mid-range torque providing a wider power band.

Aston Martin Gearbox TCU Remapping.

If your Aston Martin is fitted with an automatic or semi automatic transmission we can perform a gearbox remap in additional to the engine remap. A gearbox remap for your Aston Martin will offer faster gear shift speeds, smoother shifts, faster reaction to paddle shift inputs and improved mid range torque by releasing torque limiters. Transmission lock is also improved giving a faster response during acceleration and assisting with kick down at low speeds.

Aston Martin Dyno Tuning

Our purpose built research and development facility houses out very own Mustang AWD 2000BHP linked dyno. This allows us to accurately measure every parameter we adjust making sure a tune is every bit as safe as it it powerful. When booking your Aston Martin ECU remap, book a set of dyno runs to see a full print out of power before and after the tuning.

Aston Martin Performance Exhaust System

We have a range of exhaust systems available for your Aston Martin including Milltek, Remus, Capristo, Akrapovič and many more. Just ask us for a quotation.

Questions we get asked

Is a remap worth it on a naturally aspirated Aston Martin?

The peak gain is smaller than on a turbo car, typically 20 to 30hp, but throttle response, part-throttle drivability and mid-range torque all improve, which is what you notice on the road. We will be honest about what your engine can give.

What does the gearbox remap do?

On Touchtronic and Sportshift cars we recalibrate the transmission for faster shifts, quicker response to the paddles, improved lock-up under acceleration and torque limits that match the engine tune.

Can I see before and after dyno figures?

Yes. Book dyno runs with the remap and you leave with a printed comparison of power and torque before and after, measured on the same day.
