JE Pistons FSR Forged Piston Kit - Subaru WRX STI (EJ20/EJ25) - 100.00mm Bore, -15.10cc Dish
When you're building a serious EJ-powered Subaru, the pistons are one area where you simply cannot cut corners. JE Pistons brings over 75 years of forged piston development to this FSR series kit, engineered and machined entirely in the USA from 2618 aluminium alloy — the material of choice for high output and forced induction applications where thermal cycling and detonation resistance matter most. This isn't an off-the-shelf compromise; it's a purpose-built forging designed around the specific demands of the Subaru WRX STI EJ20/EJ25 engine family.
This listing covers the JE Pistons FSR forged piston kit for the Subaru WRX STI running the EJ20 or EJ25 engine (cylinder head: EJ257 STI), at a finished bore diameter of 100.00mm with a -15.10cc dish piston head. Please confirm your bore size and target compression ratio before ordering.
Note: These pistons are supplied at 100.00mm bore. Your machine shop must confirm final bore sizing and piston-to-wall clearance to suit your specific build. Compression ratio will vary depending on your head gasket thickness, deck height, and chamber volume — use a compression calculator with your engine's exact dimensions before purchase.
Key Features
- Forged from 2618 aluminium alloy for exceptional strength and resilience under high heat and cylinder pressure
- FSR (Forged Side Relief) design reduces skirt width, lowering friction and parasitic power loss while trimming overall piston weight
- Shorter wrist pin enabled by the FSR forging design further reduces reciprocating mass
- Skirt coating reduces friction and wear against cylinder walls, with the added benefit of quieter operation
- Accumulator groove (where applicable) relieves combustion gas pressure from behind the top ring, reducing ring flutter and improving ring seal consistency
- Engineered specifically for the EJ257 STI cylinder head geometry, including valve pocket profiling
- Kit includes four pistons, wrist pins, retaining locks, and JE Pro Seal premium piston rings
- 100% designed, forged, and machined in the USA
