JE Pistons AUDI 1.8T 8.5:1 KIT Set of 4 Pistons

If you're rebuilding the engine in your Audi or VW with the 1.8T 20V engine, these JE Pistons are a solid choice for a performance build. This kit includes four pistons designed specifically for your engine, featuring an 8.5:1 compression ratio. This ratio is a common target for modified 1.8T engines, offering a good balance for increased boost pressure and reliable power delivery.

JE Pistons has been making forged pistons for a long time, and these are made in the USA from 2618 aluminum. This material is known for its strength, which is important when you're pushing more power through your engine. They use a proprietary forging design called FSR, which helps reduce friction and weight by using a narrower skirt and a shorter wrist pin. Depending on your specific application, these pistons might also come with an accumulator groove to help reduce combustion gas pressure, which can improve ring seal and keep power consistent. Some applications also include a skirt coating to further reduce friction and noise.

This kit comes complete with high-quality wrist pins, locks, and JE's Pro Seal premium piston rings, so you have everything you need to get your pistons installed. Just remember that these are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper fitment and assembly procedures.
