Are KingTec Racing Forged Pistons Worth It?
Are Forged Pistons Worth It?
Yes, it is. KingTec Racing Forged Pistons are worthwhile of upgrading your engines. Here are something you may need to know.

 
What Material is KingTec Racing forged piston made of?
KingTec Racing forged pistons are made from 4032 high quality Aluminum alloy, which is able to offer a High combination of higher heat resistance, more strength, more durability compared to stock piston or original pistons, and the light weight forged pistons is an excellent choice for high performance engines.
 
What is compression height?
The forged pistons compression height is the distance between the center line of the pin bore to the top of the piston.
There are three parameters to determine the compression
1. The block height
2. The connecting rod length
3. crankshaft stroke.
 
Does KingTec Racing make custom forged pistons?
Yes, KingTec Racing is forged pistons factory and forged connecting rods and crankshaft internals kits manufacturer. KingTec Racing make custom pistons for almost any car model, such as BMW, VW, Audi, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Renault, Subaru, Suzuki, Mercedes Benz, Saab, Fiat, Ford, Opel, Chevrolet, etc.

Are your forged pistons coming with rings?
KingTec Racing forged pistons kit include piston rings, wrist pins and pin locks kits.
 
Which Surface treatment is KingTec Racing doing with the forged pistons?
  1. It is silver color like forged Aluminum,
  2. KingTec Racing adopt molybdenum sulfide coating, which will help to store oil, increase lubrication and reduce running-in.
 
What is KingTec Racing's piston Pin hole treatment?
The wrist pin hole is upgraded with oil lubricant holes and more lubrication.
Piston pin hole grinding mesh treatment can effectively improve lubrication and oil storage. KingTec Racing is one of the first companies to drill pin hole

How about KingTec Racing's Development ability?
KingTec Racing has developed so many different sets forged molds for different diameter from 50mm to 60mm, 60mm to 70mm, 70mm to 80mm , 80mm to 90mm, 90mm to 100mm, and 100mm to 110 mm, such as 86mm pistons, forged piston molds ,which help to adapt all popular engines forged pistons, and also OEM and ODM forged pistons are available from KingTec Racing.
 
What products are KingTec Racing's doing besides forged pistons?
Forged kits including forged connecting rods, billet crankshaft, billet camshaft, Titanium valve, Titanium valve retainers, Valve springs, etc
 
What is the difference between turbo pistons and non turbo pistons or NA engine pistons?
Turbocharged piston are with concave top side or flat top pistons; NA engine pistons is convex for higher compression ratio.
 
Horsepower VS Compression ratio? ( HP VS CR)
Turbo charged engine or supercharged engine: if it is with higher the compression ratio, then it will be lower horsepower;
NA engine (naturally aspirated engine) : if it is with higher the compression ratio, then it will be higher horsepower.


 
Why forged pistons?
  • More Strength and More Durability than OEM Pistons: Forged pistons are stronger and more durable than cast pistons because they are made from compressing a solid piece of metal under high pressure. And this makes them better able to withstand high levels of heat, pressure, and stress, which is important for high-performance engines that are subjected to extreme racing performance conditions.
  • Higher Performance: Forged pistons offer improved dimensional accuracy and consistency, which can improve engine performance and reduce the risk of failure. The forged pistons also have a lower thermal expansion coefficient than cast pistons, which helps them maintain their shape and seal better at high temperatures.
  • Easy Customizability: Forged pistons can be customized to meet specific engine requirements, such as increasing compression ratio or accommodating larger valves or turbochargers. This makes them ideal for high-performance engine builds where every component needs to be optimized for maximum power and efficiency.
  • Lighter Weight: Forged pistons are often lighter than cast pistons, which can reduce overall rotating mass and improve engine response and acceleration.
