Why you Should Choose RED™ Series Pistons for your Next LS Build
In the realm of automotive engineering, few advancements have left an indelible mark quite like the LS engine. Revered for its power, efficiency, and versatility, the LS engine has become a staple in the world of high-performance vehicles. While many factors contribute to its extraordinary capabilities, one component stands at the heart of this engineering marvel: the piston. These unassuming chunks of metal play a pivotal role in determining an engine’s performance, efficiency, and overall reliability.
Wiseco is here with the RED™ series, Race Engineered Design™, which offers the strength and durability that performance LS engines require, along with precision-machined features that provide a competitive edge. The RED™ series is the culmination of decades of experience in designing and manufacturing high-performance engine components, and we’re thrilled to offer this lineup of forged pistons to our LS customers.
Engineered, forged, and machined in the USA from 2618 aluminum for the tensile strength needed in performance racing and power-adder applications.
Dedicated forgings allow for an optimized, engine-specific strutted design to maximize strength-to-weight characteristics.
ArmorGlide skirt coating reduces operating friction and noise while also reducing skirt and cylinder wear.
Horizontal slot oiling in pin bores maintains optimal wrist pin and small-end lubrication, critical for long service life.
The Accumulator groove helps reduce unwanted ring flutter and provides consistent ring seal, improving engine efficiency. Additionally, anti-detonation grooves have been added to prevent carbon-buildup and provide another layer of protection to the top ring land.
Combined with an all-inclusive 1.2 x 1.2 x 3.0mm ring pack featuring a steel nitrited top, Napier second, and standard tension oil ring, these attributes form the definitive bundle for just about anyone looking to take their stock LS to the next level.
