Honda Civic Type-R & RSX Type-S K20 High Compression Forged Piston Kit

Elevate your Honda K20 engine's performance with the industry-leading Wossner High Compression Forged Piston Kit. Specifically engineered for the Civic Type-R (EP3, FN2) and Acura RSX Type-S (DC5), these pistons are the definitive choice for naturally aspirated builds aiming for maximum volumetric efficiency. By increasing the compression ratio to 12.0:1, this kit significantly enhances throttle response and power delivery across the entire VTEC powerband, making it essential for competitive track use or high-performance fast-road applications.

Each Wossner piston is precision-forged from 4032-T6 high-silicon aluminium alloy, a material renowned for its low thermal expansion properties. This allows for tighter piston-to-bore clearances, resulting in a quieter engine during cold starts and reduced oil consumption compared to traditional forgings. The kit comes complete with high-strength gudgeon pins, circlips, and a premium low-friction piston ring set, ensuring a superior seal under the extreme pressures of a high-revving K-series engine.

Key Performance Features

  • High Compression Power: Increases compression to 12.0:1 for improved thermal efficiency and peak horsepower gains.

  • Precision Forging: Manufactured from 4032-T6 alloy for maximum structural integrity and high-RPM durability.

  • Moly-Coated Skirts: Unique dry-film lubricant coating reduces friction, heat, and skirt wear for a longer engine life.

  • Mirror-Polished Crowns: Features a polished dome finish to disrupt carbon buildup and resist harmful detonation.

  • Reduced Piston Slap: Low-expansion material allows for tighter tolerances, ensuring quieter operation and better ring seal.

  • Complete Engine Kit: Includes 4x forged pistons, high-performance rings, heavy-duty gudgeon pins, and circlips.
