Product Details
If you're rebuilding the engine in your 2002-2005 Volkswagen Golf or Jetta with the 2.8L VR6 24V engine, this JE Pistons kit is a solid choice for a high-performance build. These aren't your average pistons; they're forged from 2618 aluminum right here in the USA, giving them the strong tensile strength needed for demanding applications where stock just won't cut it. With a compression ratio of 8.5:1, they're designed to work well with forced induction setups or high-performance naturally aspirated builds.
JE Pistons brings over 75 years of experience to the table, and it shows in the details. This kit features their proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) design, which helps minimize friction and weight by reducing skirt width. Depending on the specific application, you might also find an accumulator groove to help reduce combustion gas pressure, leading to better ring seal and consistent power. Some applications also include a skirt coating to further reduce friction and wear, which can also help quiet down engine noise. You'll get a complete set of six pistons, along with high-quality wrist pins, locks, and JE's Pro Seal premium piston rings, so you have the essential components to get your engine back together.
Remember, this kit is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper fitment and assembly procedures.
