Supertech Ford Duratec 2.0L/2.3L 89.5mm 28.5mm CH - 2cc Dome 12:1 CR Piston - Set of 4 (Excl Rings)

This is a set of four Supertech forged pistons specifically made for Ford Duratec 2.0L and 2.3L engines. These pistons are designed to increase your engine's compression ratio to 12:1, which can lead to improved power and throttle response when paired with appropriate tuning. The 89.5mm bore size is a common upgrade for these engines, and the 2cc dome shape is part of the design to achieve that 12:1 compression. This set is for the pistons only; you will need to purchase piston rings separately.

Forged pistons like these are a strong choice for performance builds or engines that see harder use. Unlike cast pistons, forged pistons are made from a solid block of aluminum that is heated and hammered into shape, making them significantly stronger and more resistant to detonation and fatigue. This makes them ideal for higher compression applications or boosted engines where cylinder pressures are much higher than stock. The 28.5mm wrist pin diameter is standard for many performance applications, ensuring good compatibility with aftermarket connecting rods. These pistons are well-built and ready to handle the demands of a performance-oriented Duratec engine.

When installing these pistons, remember that achieving the target compression ratio relies on precise machining and assembly. It's crucial to ensure your connecting rods are also suitable for the increased cylinder pressures and that your engine's cylinder head has been surfaced correctly. Proper engine management and tuning are essential to take full advantage of the increased compression and prevent issues like pre-ignition. This set is a solid foundation for a performance rebuild of your Ford Duratec engine.
