JE Pistons PEUGEOT 205 XU5JA 12.0:1 Set of 4 Pistons

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Peugeot 205 with the XU5JA engine, this set of four forged pistons from JE Pistons is what you'll want to get the job done right. You get the pistons themselves, along with high-quality wrist pins, locks, and JE's Pro Seal premium piston rings, all made 100% in the USA. These aren't just generic pistons; they're specifically designed for your engine and intended use, aiming for that sweet spot between durability and performance.

JE Pistons uses a proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) design, which helps reduce friction and power loss by using a shorter wrist pin and a narrower skirt. This also shaves off some weight. The pistons are forged from 2618 aluminum, a material known for its high tensile strength, which is crucial for high-demand performance applications. Depending on your specific engine application, you might also find an accumulator groove to help manage combustion gas pressure, reducing ring flutter and improving the seal for consistent power. Some applications also include a skirt coating that further reduces friction and wear on the piston skirts and cylinder walls, while also helping to quiet down engine noise.

This set is designed for a 3.268-inch bore and offers a 12.0:1 compression ratio with a flat-top design. Keep in mind that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. If you're looking to build a strong, reliable engine for your Peugeot 205, these pistons are a solid choice.
