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!

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
