Wiseco VW 1.8L 16V 81.00 mm Bore 32.65 mm CH 10.50 CC Piston Set

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1987-1989 Volkswagen Golf for serious performance, a set of Wiseco Professional Series pistons is a solid choice. These pistons are made from 2618 aluminum, a material chosen for its improved tensile strength, which is crucial when you're pushing an engine hard. They're forged and machined right here in the USA, ensuring a high level of precision throughout the manufacturing process.

Wiseco has packed a lot of thoughtful features into these pistons to handle demanding builds. You'll find precision ring grooves, anti-detonation grooves, and other features designed to improve ring seal, which is key for both power and longevity. They also come with a special ArmorGlide skirt coating. This coating helps reduce friction and resist seizure, while also contributing to quieter operation. The fully machined crown and forced pin oiling further support reliable performance under heavy loads.

This set is designed for European 1.8L 16V engines and includes four pistons, each with an 81.00 mm bore and a 10.50 cc dish. Keep in mind that these pistons are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. They are intended for heavy to severe duty race applications where durability and performance are top priorities.
