Wossner RSX Type-S & Civic Type-R K20 9.5:1 Compression Forged Piston Kit Hard Anodised
The Wossner K20 Hard Anodised Forged Piston Kit is the ultimate internal solution for high-output Honda builds pushing the boundaries of forced induction. Specifically engineered for the K20A2, K20Z1, and K20Z4 engines, this "Premium Plus" series kit drops the compression to 9.5:1, creating a perfect balance between off-boost response and high-boost safety. The standout feature is the professional Hard Anodised crown coating, which acts as a sophisticated thermal barrier, protecting the piston from the extreme cylinder temperatures and pressures generated by large turbochargers.
Manufactured in Germany from high-silicon 4032-T6 forged aluminium, these pistons offer incredible structural integrity with minimal thermal expansion. The Hard Anodising process significantly increases surface hardness and prevents "micro-welding"—a common failure where the piston ring fuses to the groove under extreme thermal stress. Combined with Wossner’s signature Moly skirt coating for reduced friction and a mirror-polished finish, this kit ensures your K20 remains reliable and quiet, whether on a daily-driven street car or a dedicated time-attack machine.
Key Performance Features
-
Turbo-Ready 9.5:1 Compression: Optimised for forced induction, allowing for higher boost pressures and more aggressive ignition timing.
-
Hard Anodised Crown Coating: Provides a ceramic-like shield against heat erosion and surface melting during high-load operation.
-
Anti-Micro-Welding Protection: The anodised ring lands ensure the rings remain free and seal perfectly, even under extreme thermal stress.
-
4032-T6 High-Silicon Alloy: Offers superior strength with low expansion rates, allowing for tighter clearances and quieter engine operation.
-
Complete Professional Kit: Includes four forged pistons, high-performance ring sets, 22mm gudgeon pins, and heavy-duty circlips.
