What material are these pistons made from?

These pistons are forged and machined in the USA from 2618 aluminum. This material is chosen for its improved tensile strength, making the pistons well-suited for demanding engine builds.

What is the ArmorGlide skirt coating for?

The ArmorGlide skirt coating on these pistons helps to reduce friction between the piston and cylinder wall. It also contributes to quieter operation and provides resistance against seizure.

Are these pistons compatible with all engine modifications?

These pistons are designed for heavy to severe duty performance applications and feature a 9:1 compression ratio. While they are built for performance, it's always recommended to consult with an engine builder to ensure compatibility with your specific modification plans.

Product Details

Wiseco is well-known for making strong internal engine components, and these Professional Series pistons are a prime example. If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1994-1998 Volkswagen Jetta, especially if you're aiming for more power or durability, these pistons are built to handle the stress. They're designed for heavy-duty performance applications, meaning they can stand up to demanding use.

These pistons are forged and machined in the USA from 2618 aluminum, which gives them improved tensile strength over other materials. They feature precision ring grooves, an anti-detonation groove, and extra features for better ring seal, all contributing to reliable performance. Plus, they come with an ArmorGlide skirt coating that helps reduce friction and noise while resisting seizure. The fully machined crown and forced pin oiling further show the attention to detail in their construction.

This set is for a single piston with an 82mm bore and a 9:1 compression ratio, suitable for the 2.8L 12V VR6 engine. Keep in mind these are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
