The Manley Performance EJ257 piston set is engineered for high-performance Subaru WRX STi applications, offering durability and reliable power output. Crafted from premium 2618 alloy forgings, these pistons provide excellent strength and thermal stability essential for demanding engine builds. Designed with proven cam and barrel skirt profiles, they generate substantial power while maintaining a gentle interaction with cylinder walls, optimizing both performance and longevity. The pistons feature moly skirt coatings on select part numbers, reducing friction and wear for extended engine life.
The set includes chrome moly wrist pins as standard, with optional upgrades to 9310 or Turbo Tuff/DLC alloys for enhanced durability in high-stress conditions. Manley's unique fixturing process ensures precise machining of ring grooves and skirt turning in a single operation, resulting in perfect ring land and groove squareness. This precision contributes to superior ring seal, promoting increased compression and power output.
Designed to fit 2004-2012 Subaru Impreza models equipped with EJ257 engines, these pistons are ideal for enthusiasts and professional tuners seeking consistent performance in both daily driving and high-performance applications. The set features a 99.75mm stroke with a +0.25mm bore, and an 8.5:1 compression ratio, making them suitable for a variety of tuning setups. Whether building a new engine or refreshing an existing one, these pistons deliver the strength, precision, and performance that Manley Performance is known for.
