The JE Pistons Ultra Series forged piston kit for Subaru EJ257 STI engines combines 2618 aluminum construction with premium features for demanding performance builds. A thermal barrier crown coating helps manage combustion heat, while the skirt coating reduces friction and wear along the cylinder wall. Lateral gas ports and an accumulator groove support ring sealing, and the 9310 steel wrist pins add strength where cylinder pressure places high loads on the assembly. Built around JE's Forged Side Relief (FSR) architecture, these pistons bring a focused combination of material strength, surface treatments, and application-specific dimensions to your engine build. Supplied as a set of four with piston rings included.
