JE Pistons VW VR6 24V 81.5M KIT Set of 6 Pistons

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 2002-2005 Volkswagen Golf, especially for performance applications, a solid set of pistons is crucial. This kit from JE Pistons includes everything you need to get your VR6 24V engine running strong again: six forged pistons, high-quality wrist pins, locks, and JE Pro Seal premium piston rings. These aren't just off-the-shelf parts; JE Pistons has been making performance pistons for over 75 years, and they engineer these specifically for your engine.

Crafted from 2618 aluminum, these pistons offer the high tensile strength needed for demanding performance builds. JE Pistons uses a proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) design, which helps minimize friction and power loss by reducing skirt width and using a shorter wrist pin, saving weight. 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, and a skirt coating that cuts down on friction and wear while also making the engine run quieter. Everything is forged and machined right here in the USA.

This set is designed for an 81.5mm bore and features a flat-top design with a 11.50:1 compression ratio, intended for the 2.8L VR6 24V engine. Keep in mind that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For optimal results and longevity, always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions.
