JE Pistons Introduces New FSR Pistons for 1.8T, 2.0T FSI, and 2.0T TSI Engines

JE’s new forged pistons for the Volkswagen 1.8T, 2.0T FSI, 2.0T TSI feature dedicated forged-side-relief designs for an immense boost in strength. They are specifically engineered for high-boost, high-horsepower applications and feature JE’s groundbreaking Perfect Skirt coating for reduced friction, quieter operation, and ultimate, 2618 strength.

What is a Forged Side Relief?

JE’s new forged side relief design is an evolution of previous full-round forgings that offers excellent strength with less weight. By forging the pin towers closer together and using FEA testing to incorporate rigid internal bracing, a shorter, lighter wrist pin can be used, significantly reducing rotating mass. This is paired with double-broach pin-oilers to improve oil flow to the wrist pins.

Revolutionary New Skirt Coating Standard on All VW FSR Pistons

All Volkswagen FSR pistons will come standard with JE’s patented Perfect Skirt coating. Unlike any coating before it, Perfect Skirt is compressible and allows a 2618 piston to install with piston-to wall clearance close to that of an OEM cast piston. What does that mean? Perfect Skirt–coated pistons will run quieter, last longer (due to vastly reduced skirt wear) and won’t register any false knock signals. The coating also bolsters lubricity, reducing friction and increasing horsepower!

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers. The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience. So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf. In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...
