JE Pistons 2004 Volkswagen R32 24V 8.5:1 Forged Piston Kit (Set of 6) - 279946

Fits the 2004 Volkswagen R32 Base.

Engineered for the demands of high-performance European engines, this JE Pistons forged piston kit is designed specifically for the VW 3.2L 24V VR6. Utilizing a proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) forging design, these pistons minimize friction and power loss through a reduced skirt width while saving reciprocating weight with a shorter wrist pin.

Constructed 100% in the USA from 2618 aluminum alloy, these pistons offer the high tensile strength required for forced induction or high-output racing applications. The 8.5:1 compression ratio provides an ideal foundation for turbocharged or supercharged builds, ensuring durability under extreme cylinder pressures. This complete set includes everything needed for a professional bottom-end refresh or performance build.
