JE designs are speci cally engineered
for extreme applications up to, and
including, professional competition.
In this environment, the higher
compression ratios, highest boost or heavy
nitrous usage necessitate the higher tensile strength
2618 aluminum alloy, other features are listed below.
Application speci c forgings for an optimized,
uniform crown thickness
Contact reduction groove to minimize frictional drag
Accumulator groove for increased top ring stability
and sealing
CNC-machined side relief with lower support band for
additional skirt strength
Honed pin bores, double pressure fed pin oilers wire
locks included

SRP Pistons are designed for street/strip
applications utilizing many compression ratio
combinations compatible with pump gas as
well as moderate turbo boost and nitrous oxide.
SRP sport compact pistons are forged from
4032 low-expansion aluminum alloy for smooth
and quiet operation.
Honed pin bores with single, pressure fed pin oiler
More economical because of forged side reliefs
(reduces machining time) and thicker ring lands to
accommodate a wider variety of applications
Double Spiro locks included

COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL EXPANSION
2618 aluminum expands approximately 15% more than 4032 aluminum, thus the 2618fs initial piston-to-wall clearance has to be 15%
This difference is most noticeable during a cold engine start. When cold, the 2618 piston can rock back and forth producing a slight
the aluminum expands. Both types of aluminum have approximately the same clearances once the pistons have expanded and the engine
running at operating temperatures.
