Product Details

JE Pistons 279953 is a professional-grade piston set engineered with 2618 aluminum alloy for extreme performance applications including racing, high-boost turbo systems, and heavy nitrous oxide usage. This 6-piston matched set features a flat top design with 3.189-inch bore, 1.683-inch compression distance, and 0.787-inch wrist pin diameter.

Key Features:

  • Application-specific forgings optimized for uniform crown thickness and strength
  • Contact reduction groove minimizes frictional drag for improved efficiency
  • Accumulator groove enhances top ring stability and sealing performance
  • CNC-machined side relief with lower support band for additional skirt strength
  • Precision-honed pin bores with double pressure-fed pin oilers included
  • Wire locks included for secure wrist pin retention
  • JE ProSeal piston rings included with complete set

The 2618 aluminum alloy construction provides superior tensile strength compared to standard hypereutectic pistons, making this set ideal for high compression ratios, extreme boost levels, and professional competition environments. All JE Pistons are sold as precision-matched sets to ensure balanced performance.

Shipped fast and accuratly within a week.

I purchased an extend-a-truck on autoplicity. It was the best price on the Internet. Autoplicity beat amazon by approximately $30. I received a confirmation it shipped the following day.

Good so far hope it fits. Shipping was a lot fast than I expected A+++++++++.

Best price I've seen online and the shipping is extremely fast. I would definitely use this site again for future automobile needs.

Best price for Rancho Shocks anywhere on the net! Ordered by phone and CSR gave me a better deal on shipping then the automated on site calculator.

Quick shipping. Good info on sttud will definitely irder again
