- Exacting Ring Lands and Grooves: Precision-machined ring lands and grooves improve ring seal, reducing blow-by and increasing engine efficiency and power.
- Cam and Barrel Skirt Profiles: Designed with proven cam and barrel skirt profiles that maximize power output while minimizing cylinder wall wear.
- Moly Skirt Coatings: Select piston numbers feature molybdenum skirt coatings to reduce friction and enhance durability.
- Unique Fixturing Process: Manley’s proprietary fixturing allows skirt turning and ring groove machining in a single operation, ensuring perfect ring groove-to-skirt squareness for optimal performance.
- 10.0:1 Compression Ratio: The pistons feature a 10.0:1cc dish design optimized for the FA20 engine’s combustion characteristics.
- 86.25mm Bore Size: Precision bore sizing ensures proper fitment and compatibility with factory and aftermarket components.
Construction & Design:
These pistons are forged from high-quality 2618 aluminum alloy, known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to high temperatures and stress. The cam and barrel skirt profiles are carefully engineered to reduce friction and wear on cylinder walls, extending engine life. The moly skirt coatings on select pistons further reduce friction, improving efficiency and durability. Manley’s unique machining process guarantees precise ring groove alignment, which is critical for maintaining compression and preventing ring flutter at high RPMs.
Installation & Fitment:
This piston set is designed as a direct fit replacement for the FA20 engine in the 2017–2020 Toyota 86, 2013–2020 Subaru BRZ, and 2013–2016 Scion FR-S models. Installation requires standard engine rebuild procedures and is intended for professional engine builders or experienced enthusiasts. The pistons come complete with rings, ensuring a comprehensive upgrade. No modifications to the engine block are necessary beyond standard machining and honing for the specified bore size.
