Product Details
Built from 2618 aluminum, these JE Pistons are forged in the USA for your 2002-2005 Volkswagen Golf's 2.8L VR6 24V engine. This set is designed to handle the demands of high-performance applications, offering a significant upgrade over stock components. The 11.60:1 compression ratio and flat-top design are optimized for specific engine use, aiming for a balance of durability and power.
JE Pistons incorporates their proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) design, which uses reduced skirt width and a shorter wrist pin to minimize friction and weight, ultimately reducing power loss. Depending on the specific application, these pistons may also feature an accumulator groove to help control combustion gas pressure, leading to better ring seal and consistent power delivery. A skirt coating, if included for your application, further reduces friction and wear on the piston skirts and cylinder walls, while also helping to quiet down engine noise.
This comprehensive kit includes everything you need to get your engine rebuilt: six forged pistons, high-quality wrist pins, locks, and JE Pro Seal premium piston rings. They are engineered and machined entirely in the USA, ensuring a well-built product ready for demanding use.
