Types of car pistons
Pistons for car engines fall into four main categories
Cast
Cast pistons are the most economical option and are ideal for standard engines. They offer strength and durability at a low cost, ensuring reliability without compromising on quality.
Die-forged
Die-forged pistons offer a good balance between cost and performance. They are suitable for tuned engines that require a balance between reliability and power, ensuring excellent performance at a reasonable cost.
Forged
Forged pistons ensure high strength and lightness, making them ideal for high-performance engines and track racing. Thanks to precision machining, they guarantee consistent performance even under the most extreme conditions.
Machined from solid
Machined pistons offer maximum precision and customisation options. Used in racing, they allow every detail of the engine to be optimised, delivering maximum overall performance.
Note: Each type can be adapted based on a technical drawing or a sample, with modifications to the compression ratio, pin diameter, compression height or valve seats on the piston crown.
