Description

Upgrade your engine with the JE Pistons VW 1.8T 20V piston kit, engineered for high-performance European and import vehicles. Crafted from high-strength 2618 aluminum and forged in the USA, these pistons are designed to withstand demanding racing conditions while delivering reliable durability. Each piston features a proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) forging design that minimizes friction and power loss by reducing skirt width and incorporating a shorter wrist pin for weight savings. The inclusion of an accumulator groove (application-dependent) helps reduce pressure from combustion gases, enhancing ring seal and promoting consistent power output. Additionally, the skirt coating (application-dependent) reduces friction and wear on piston skirts and cylinder walls, while also decreasing operational noise for smoother engine performance. These pistons are specifically tailored for each engine and use case, ensuring optimal fit and performance for your Volkswagen or Audi 1.8T 20V engine. The kit includes high-quality wrist pins, locks, and JE Pro Seal premium piston rings, providing all necessary components for a comprehensive upgrade. With a bore size of approximately 3.209 inches and a compression ratio of 8.50:1, these pistons are ideal for a range of applications from street driving to racing. Manufactured entirely in the USA, JE Pistons provides a product that combines innovative design, strength, and proven performance, making it a preferred choice among automotive enthusiasts seeking maximum engine efficiency.
