What material are these pistons made from?

These Wiseco pistons are forged from 2618 aluminum. This material is chosen for its high tensile strength, making it well-suited for demanding engine builds where durability and performance are critical.

What is the purpose of the ArmorGlide skirt coating?

The ArmorGlide coating on the piston skirts serves multiple purposes. It helps to reduce friction between the piston and cylinder wall, leading to quieter operation and potentially improved efficiency. It also provides seizure resistance, which is important for engine longevity under high stress.

Are these pistons suitable for a daily driver or only race cars?

While these pistons are built with features for severe duty and race applications, their robust construction and friction-reducing coatings can also benefit a high-performance daily driver. They are designed to handle significantly more stress than stock components.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1984-1992 Volkswagen Jetta for serious performance, a solid set of pistons is crucial. These Wiseco Professional Series pistons are built from 2618 aluminum, a well-known material for its high tensile strength, making them a strong choice for demanding engine builds. They are forged and machined right here in the USA, ensuring a high level of precision throughout the manufacturing process.

Wiseco has packed these pistons with features to handle heavy or severe duty applications. You'll find precision ring grooves, anti-detonation grooves, and other features designed to improve ring seal. The crown is fully machined for accuracy, and they include forced pin oiling to keep the wrist pins lubricated under stress. Plus, the ArmorGlide skirt coating helps reduce friction and noise while resisting seizure, which is important for longevity in high-performance engines.

This set includes four pistons, each with an 82.00 mm bore and a 1.3205-inch compression height, using a 0.7874-inch pin diameter. Keep in mind these are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. They are designed for European models of the Jetta and Golf from the specified years.
