Forged Performance have recently introduce the Arias FP Spec pistons, they are made from serious materials such as Zero Silicon Aluminium, this provides the engine with power and the maximum strength available in such tight environment this is always very important when considering changing the pistons in the engine of your build.

These new pistons are built to the 95.5 mm spec and can be used for engines running at 9.0:1 comp ratio, this is serious kit and although it will make a lot of difference to the performance of the car although it has to be said that care and advice should always be taken before undertaking a job such as this as it is not just a simple switch around of parts. The guys over at Forged Performance are always willing to offer help and advice.

Specs – Zero Silicon aluminium (for maximum strength, Tool Steel wrist pins, offset wrist pins, and a pressure seal groove are some of its key features. We also applied a moly coat for friction reduction. Basically, these pistons are tough as nails, and have survived over 1000hp in our VQ35 builds. We ordered a couple extra sets, so if anyone needs a set they are ready to ship in 95.5mm stock bore, and 9.0:1 Compression ratio.
