JE Pistons VW 1.8T 20V Engine Piston Kit – 4-Piece Forged Performance Set

Description

Upgrade your Volkswagen or Audi 1.8T engine with the JE Pistons VW 1.8T 20V 8.5 KIT, a high-performance forged piston set designed for demanding racing and street applications. Crafted from high tensile strength 2618 aluminum in the USA, these pistons are engineered to withstand high stress while providing optimal power output. The kit includes four pistons, wrist pins, locks, and JE Pro Seal premium piston rings, ensuring a complete assembly for your engine rebuild or upgrade. Each piston is specifically designed to match the engine’s specifications, offering exceptional durability and consistent performance across a variety of applications. The inverted dome/dish design enhances compression ratios, and features like proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) forging minimize friction and power loss by reducing skirt width and shortening wrist pins. An accumulator groove (application-dependent) helps reduce pressure from combustion gases, improving ring seal and power consistency. Additionally, a skirt coating reduces friction and wear on piston skirts and cylinder walls, while also decreasing operational noise. These pistons are suitable for a range of Volkswagen and Audi models, including Beetles, Golfs, and A4s from 1997 to 2004, making them ideal for enthusiasts seeking reliable, high-performance engine components. As a product made entirely in the USA, JE Pistons stands behind its engineering with proven performance in racing environments, from drift tracks to drag strips. Equip your vehicle with the best forged pistons to maximize power and engine longevity under demanding conditions.
