What material are these pistons made from?

These pistons are forged from 2618 aluminum. This material is chosen for its high tensile strength, which is necessary for high-demand performance applications.

What is the purpose of the Forged Side Relief (FSR) design?

The FSR design helps minimize friction and power loss by reducing the piston skirt width. It also saves weight with a shorter wrist pin, contributing to overall engine efficiency.

Are these pistons street legal in California?

No, these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California due to emissions regulations.

Product Details

JE Pistons is known for making well-built forged racing pistons, with over 75 years of experience. They've applied that knowledge to this set of BBC FT HD/BLOWN pistons, designed for high-demand performance applications. These pistons are forged and machined 100% in the USA, using 2618 aluminum, which gives them the strong tensile strength needed for serious builds.

This set features a proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) forging design. This design helps minimize friction and power loss by reducing skirt width, and it saves weight with a shorter wrist pin. Depending on the specific application, these pistons may also include an accumulator groove to help reduce combustion gas pressure, which can improve ring seal and prevent ring flutter. Some applications also get a skirt coating that reduces friction and wear on the piston skirts and cylinder walls, while also making the engine run quieter.

Each piston is designed specifically for its intended engine and use, aiming for optimized performance and durability. This kit includes 8 pistons, each with a 4.280-inch bore and a -3.0 cc dish volume. Please note that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
