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

Forged from 2618 aluminum, these JE Pistons are built for high-demand performance in your Peugeot 205 with the XU5JA engine. With a 12.0:1 compression ratio and a 3.287-inch bore, this set of four pistons is designed to give your engine a significant boost in power and durability. JE Pistons has over 75 years of experience crafting pistons specifically for racing applications, and these are no exception. They are engineered and machined entirely in the USA, ensuring top-notch quality and performance.

What sets these pistons apart is JE's proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) design. This feature minimizes friction and power loss by using a reduced skirt width and a shorter wrist pin, which also saves weight. Depending on the specific application, you might also find an accumulator groove, which helps reduce combustion gas pressure, leading to better ring seal and consistent power delivery. Some applications also include a skirt coating that further reduces friction and wear on the piston skirts and cylinder walls, while also cutting down on operating noise. These pistons are made to fit your specific engine and use, optimizing both performance and longevity.

This kit includes everything you need to get your engine rebuilt: high-quality wrist pins, locks, and JE's Pro Seal premium piston rings. Remember that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper fitment and assembly procedures.
