JE Pistons VW 1.8T 20V Piston Kit – Part Number 302021

Description

Upgrade your Volkswagen 1.8T 20V engine with the JE Pistons VW 1.8T 20V Piston Kit, designed for high-performance applications. Crafted from high tensile strength 2618 aluminum, these forged pistons are engineered specifically for demanding racing and street use, ensuring durability and maximum power output. The kit includes four pistons, wrist pins, locks, and JE Pro Seal premium piston rings, providing a comprehensive solution to enhance engine performance. Each piston features a proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) forging design, which minimizes friction and power loss by reducing skirt width and conserving weight with a shorter wrist pin. This design helps improve throttle response and overall engine efficiency, making it ideal for both street and track use.

The pistons incorporate an accumulator groove—depending on the application—to help reduce pressure from combustion gases, thereby decreasing ring flutter and enhancing ring seal consistency. This feature promotes stable combustion and reliable power delivery across various operating conditions. Additionally, piston skirts are coated to reduce friction and wear against the cylinder walls, which extends component lifespan and reduces operating noise. These piston kits are fully manufactured in the USA, ensuring strict quality control and precision machining.

Designed for a bore size of approximately 3.189 inches, with a compression ratio of 9.25:1, these pistons are suitable for a variety of performance builds. They are not carb-approved and require acknowledgment of this status before installation. Whether building a high-performance street engine or preparing for racing, these JE Pistons offer a proven track record of performance and durability, making them a reliable choice for automotive enthusiasts seeking quality forged pistons for their VW 1.8T 20V engine.
