MIA's Description

JE Pistons are the leader in forged racing pistons with 70-plus years of experience, in-house forging, and industry-leading technology. JE Pistons are designed to perform at the top levels of all forms of motorsports. FSR (Forged Side Relief) forging designs feature a reduced skirt width and shorter wrist pin when compared to traditional "full round" style forgings. The narrow skirt helps minimize piston contact with the cylinder wall that can cause friction and power loss, while the shortened wrist pins reduce the overall weight. Some FSR forgings feature internal and external bracing to provide a more rigid construction while minimizing overall weight. With thousands of race miles logged in the most demanding applications like NASCAR, NHRA Pro Stock, and Indy Car, these pistons provide the ultimate combination of low-friction, lightweight design with increased stability and strength. Asymmetrical F5R requires removal or modification of oil squirter. Full Round Series require removal or use of adequate spacers on F5R's. JE Pistons are machined by the most advanced CNC machining technologies available. JE forged Pistons are trusted by racers and engine builders for dependability. JE Pistons are compatible with boost and nitrous. Dome/Dish requires no deburring or preparation. Made from 2618 T6 high tensile forged aluminum. JE designs are specifically engineered for extreme applications up to, and including, professional competition. In this environment, the higher compression ratios, highest boost, or heavy nitrous usage necessitate the higher tensile strength 2618 aluminum alloy. Dome and dishes feature smooth flowing radii for excellent flame travel. 1.0 x 1.2 x 2.8mm ring widths. .787 x 2.250 straight wall carbon steel wrist pin provided. Pin fitting and wire locks included. Rings now included.
