What is the compression ratio with these pistons?

These pistons are designed to achieve a 9.6:1 compression ratio when installed in the specified VW TSi EA888 Gen 3 2.0L turbo engine. This is a common target for performance builds.

Are these pistons suitable for a stock engine rebuild?

Yes, these are forged pistons designed for the VW TSi EA888 Gen 3 2.0L turbo engine. Their construction makes them strong for performance applications, but they can also be used in a high-quality rebuild.

What does the '-7.1cc' specification refer to?

The -7.1cc refers to the dish volume in the top of the piston. This dish shape helps to achieve the target compression ratio and can influence combustion characteristics within the cylinder.

Product Details

Mahle is a well-known name in engine components, particularly for their expertise in pistons and filtration. This Mahle MS Piston Set is built for the VW TSi EA888 Gen 3 2.0L turbo engine, commonly found in models from 2015 to 2018. If you're rebuilding the top end of your TSi engine, these pistons are designed to handle the demands of performance tuning and heavy use.

This set features pistons with an 83mm bore and a -7.1cc dish volume, contributing to a 9.6:1 compression ratio. The stroke is 92.8mm, with a 144mm connecting rod length and a 23mm wrist pin diameter. Each piston weighs 318 grams, which is a notable detail for engine builders looking to balance rotating assembly components for smoother operation and improved performance. These are forged pistons, meaning they are constructed from a solid piece of material that is heated and hammered into shape, making them strong and durable for high-stress applications.

When installing these pistons, it's important to follow the manufacturer's detailed installation instructions. This set includes four pistons, enough for a complete engine rebuild. Please note that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always ensure you are using the correct specifications and procedures for your engine build.
