DB9 Upgraded rear Brakes (updated)

Posted on August 20, 2024September 3, 2024 by Paul

DB9 Upgraded rear Brakes (updated), when I upgraded my Front Brakes to 410mm Two piece discs and DBS 6 Pot callipers I also upgraded the rears to maintain the braking balance. The stock rear brakes are 330mm diameter single piece discs with a 4 pot Caliper and separate handbrake caliper. The issue with upgrading the…

Aston Martin Headlight Bulb Comparison

Posted on February 17, 2024February 17, 2024 by Paul

Aston Martin Headlight Bulb Comparison, comparing DB9 headlights on dipped and full beam with different bulbs, shields and against a modern DB9S Bi-LED conversion. I’ve showed photos of the output in my garage and measure the output in Lux at about 9m distance, Lux is a useful measure of headlight output unlike the useless Lumens…

Aston Martin DB9 Vanquish S rear box

Posted on May 22, 2023January 28, 2024 by Paul

Aston Martin DB9 Vanquish S rear box, I was going to modify the silencer on the DB9 to produce a better louder sound when the valves are open but not changing the sound in quiet mode, however I came across abettre option, using a Vanquish S exhaust backbox instead. My exhaust is decatted (secondary cats…

Aston Martin DBS Inlet Manifold Upgrade

Posted on November 15, 2022February 11, 2024 by Paul

Aston Martin DBS Inlet Manifold Upgrade, the DBS manifolds have an enlarged plenum and improved flow characteristics perfect for a DB9 HP Upgrade, they produce more power at the top end but a little less low end torque. In my opinion they also look better than the stock DB9 manifolds. Removing the manifolds is not the…

DB9 Air Box Delete

Posted on April 28, 2022July 4, 2024 by Paul

DB9 Air Box Delete, The DB9 airbox is restrictive at high rpm and large throttle openings if the engine is modified at all (e.g. remap, removing secondary cats, etc.) and particularly if using the DBS inlet manifold which flows much better at high rpm, as the only inlet to the airbox is though the restrictive…

Aston Martin 3 way switchable Exhaust Valve

Posted on March 13, 2022February 6, 2024 by Paul

Aston Martin 3 way switchable Exhaust Valve, most modern Aston Martins have a valve in the exhaust, this automatically switches between valves open (loud) mode and valves closed (quiet) mode depending upon RPM. Most people know of the infamous fuse 22 (15 on later cars) which changes the exhaust to loud permanently, (removing fuse 22…
