JE Pistons 2013+ VW/Audi 2.0TSI (Set of 4) EA888 Gen 3 - 350-400 HP

The JE 353850 pistons are designed for Volkswagen/Audi 2.0T TSI engines produced from 2013 onwards. Made from forged 2618 alloy, they offer increased strength, allowing them to accommodate significant increases in power.

The JE 353850 piston kit is specifically designed for Volkswagen/Audi 2.0T TSI engines produced from 2013 onwards. This kit includes four high-quality forged pistons, adapted to the requirements of increased performance.

Main features:

• Bore : 83.0 mm

• Volumetric Ratio (Compression Ratio) : 9.6:1

• Dish Volume : -7.8 cc

• Piston Type : FSR (Forged Side Relief), providing weight reduction and improved stability.

• Material : Forged 2618 alloy, renowned for its strength and durability under high stress.

• Pin diameter : 22 mm

Details on the generation concerned:

✔ EA888 Gen 3 Engine (2013 - present)

• Engine block : Aluminum
• Injection : Direct and indirect injection (Dual Injection on certain versions)
• Supercharging : Turbo IHI IS20 (GTI) or IS38 (Golf R / S3)
• Advanced electronic management : VVT (variable valve timing) and ACT (cylinder deactivation on certain versions)

This kit is not compatible with EA888 Gen 1 and Gen 2 engines or with EA113 engines (found on Golf 5 GTI, S3 8P, Golf 6 R).

🚨 Incompatibilities:
❌ EA888 Gen 1 (2008-2011)
❌ EA888 Gen 2 (2011-2013)
❌ EA113 (Golf 5 GTI, S3 8P, Golf 6 R, etc.)

If your engine is an EA888 Gen 3 , these pistons strengthen your engine and allow you to safely run a high power setup up to 850 HP and 40 PSI of boost .

Examples of power gains with associated modifications:

• Stage 1 : An engine reprogramming without major hardware modifications can increase the power of a VW Golf 5 GTI Edition 30 from 230 hp to around 310 hp, a gain of 80 hp.

• Stage 2 : With the addition of a turbo downpipe and an intake kit, the same Golf 5 GTI can achieve around 330 hp.

• Stage 3 : The installation of a hybrid turbo, combined with additional modifications (intercooler, complete exhaust system, etc.), can achieve power outputs in the order of 380 to 400 hp.

It is important to note that these power gains depend on many factors, including the quality of the parts installed, the accuracy of the reprogramming, and the overall condition of the engine. The JE 353850 pistons, thanks to their robust design, are capable of handling these increased power levels, offering superior reliability compared to the original pistons.

For preparations exceeding 400 hp, it is recommended to further strengthen the engine, including the installation of forged connecting rods and other internal modifications to ensure optimum durability.

In conclusion, the JE 353850 pistons are suitable for performance projects aiming for power outputs between 300 and 400 hp, provided that the other engine components are also adapted accordingly.
