Factors to Keep In Mind When Choosing Piston Size
Selecting the appropriate piston size for your engine is crucial for achieving optimal performance and reliability. When considering a Wiseco piston kit, it’s essential to understand the key factors influencing piston size: bore diameter, compression height and piston volume. Each of these factors plays a vital role in the functionality and efficiency of your engine.
Bore Diameter
Bore diameter refers to the internal diameter of the engine’s cylinders. It’s crucial to select pistons that match the bore diameter of your engine to ensure a proper fit. If upgrading or rebuilding your engine, you might opt for a larger bore diameter to increase displacement and power. Wiseco products are available in various piston sizes to match different bore diameters, allowing for standard replacements and performance upgrades.
Piston Volume
Piston volume, often called dome or dish volume, impacts the engine’s compression ratio. Pistons with a higher dome volume increase compression, leading to more power, while those with a dished design decrease compression, which can be beneficial in forced induction applications. When selecting from our piston sets, consider the desired compression ratio and the type of induction your engine uses to choose a piston with the appropriate volume.

Are There Any Special Considerations for Installing a Piston Kit in a Turbocharged Engine?
Yes. Turbocharged engines often require pistons with lower compression ratios to accommodate the increased air and fuel mixture from the turbocharger. It’s essential to choose a piston kit designed for a turbocharged engine’s increased pressure and temperature conditions.
Are Aftermarket Piston Sets Better Than OEM?
Yes! Aftermarket piston sets, like those from Wiseco, offer performance and durability advantages over OEM parts, especially in high-performance or racing applications.
How Do I Know If I Need a New Piston Kit?
You might want to consider purchasing a new piston kit if you’re experiencing engine problems like loss of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel efficiency. Visible wear or damage during an engine inspection can also indicate the need for replacement.
