Aston Martin's twin-turbo engines

Most of Aston Martin's recent turbocharged cars use one of two engines. The 4.0 V8 is the Mercedes-AMG M177, used in the Vantage, the DB11 V8, the DBX and the DB12. The 5.2 V12, known as the AE31, powers the DB11 V12, the DBS Superleggera and the Vanquish.

Aston Martin has not appeared in GP Turbos' past listings, so start with the part numbers from both turbos and the car's details. A rebuild returns turbos to standard; a hybrid upgrade would also need a calibration matched to it.

GP Turbos is independent of Aston Martin. Model names are used only to identify which cars a turbo fits.

Questions

Aston Martin turbo questions

Is the Aston Martin V8 a Mercedes-AMG engine?

Yes. The 4.0 twin-turbo V8 is the Mercedes-AMG M177, with the same hot-V turbo layout. Turbo details vary between applications: Mercedes-AMG uses single-scroll turbos in some models and twin-scroll in others, so the part numbers on your turbos are the place to start. See Mercedes-Benz.
