JE Pistons VW 2.8L VR6 12V Forged Piston Kit – Part Number 186238

Description

Upgrade your Volkswagen engine with the JE Pistons VW 2.8L VR6 12V Forged Piston Kit, designed for high-performance applications and built to last. Each piston in this kit is crafted from 2618 aluminum, forged in the USA, offering high tensile strength essential for demanding driving conditions and racing environments. The kit includes six high-quality pistons, wrist pins, locks, and JE Pro Seal premium piston rings, ensuring a complete and reliable upgrade for your engine.
JE Pistons are engineered with a proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) forging design that minimizes friction and power loss by reducing skirt width. This design also features a shorter wrist pin, saving weight and enhancing responsiveness. The pistons incorporate an accumulator groove (application-dependent) that helps reduce pressure from combustion gases, which minimizes ring fluttering and promotes consistent power delivery. Additionally, the skirt coating (application-dependent) reduces friction and wear on piston skirts and cylinder walls, while simultaneously decreasing operating noise for smoother engine operation.
Designed specifically for each engine and application, these forged pistons optimize performance and durability. They are ideal for various Volkswagen models, including Jetta, Corrado, and Passat, from 1992 to 1997. The kit’s precision engineering and high-quality components provide a significant upgrade over stock pistons, supporting higher horsepower and improving engine reliability. This product is not CARB approved and requires acknowledgment of certain compliance considerations. It is made entirely in the USA to meet strict quality standards and is suitable for performance enthusiasts seeking the best in forged piston technology.
