JE Pistons 367861 – forged piston kit for VW/Audi 2.0 TSI EA888

Key benefits

• 2618-T6 forging delivers outstanding strength against high boost and detonation.

• Asymmetrical FSR skirts: narrow thrust face cuts mass and friction, wide major skirt keeps the piston stable at high rpm.

• Ceramic crown coating reflects heat back into the chamber, lowering piston temperature.

• Graphite skirt coating reduces friction and cold-start scuffing.

• Lateral gas ports in the top-ring land maintain a tight seal under heavy boost.

• Thick-wall 21 mm wrist pins handle nitrous use and 40 psi+ of boost.

• Supplied with a JE Pro Seal ring pack matched to turbo and E85 applications.

Typical uses

• Drag, time-attack and pro-drift builds aiming for 600 hp and beyond.

• Stage 3+ 2.0 TSI engines with large single or hybrid turbos.

• EA888/EA113 conversions to E85 or methanol fuel.

Technical specifications

* With stock 92.8 mm stroke and EA888 Gen 1 cylinder head.

• 4 × 21 mm wrist pins with wire locks

• Complete JE Pro Seal ring set (1.0 / 1.2 / 2.8 mm)

• Installation guide with clearance and torque data

Installation notes

• Maintain at least 0.09 mm piston-to-wall clearance for street use; increase per JE chart for higher boost or race applications.

• Gap rings for target boost (≈ 0.14 mm per 25 psi on the top ring).

• Verify valve-to-piston clearance with cam lifts ≥ 10.5 mm; machine pockets if required.

• Use high-zinc 5W-40 or 15W-50 oil and shorten change intervals on engines exceeding 500 hp.
