MAHLE Piston and Ring Sets for Ford 2.3L EcoBoost: Pistons that Can Handle Big Horsepower

If you plan to turn up the wick way past 11 on your Ford 2.3L EcoBoost engine, the factory cast pistons won’t like it much. MAHLE Motorsport’s 2.3L EcoBoost PowerPak Piston and Ring Sets are designed for big power levels the OE pistons can’t handle.

The forged pistons are made from 4032 aluminum alloy for tighter cylinder to wall clearances and improved temperature stability. The thick, slipper skirt-style forging and an enhanced OE crown design with increased radius make the PowerPak pistons much stronger. The skirts have MAHLE’s GRAFAL® coating to reduce drag, piston noise, scuffing, friction, and cylinder bore wear. A dry lubricant phosphate coating in the pin bores and ring grooves helps prevent galling and microwelding during initial engine startup and break-in.

Other features include:
• Valve pocket location and depth accommodate 2.0L and 2.3L EcoBoost heads
• Maintains OEM 9.5:1 compression ratio
• Thick, slipper skirt-style forging
• Thick 0.235" top and 0.200" secondary ring lands
• Hard anodized top ring groove
• Heavy-duty 0.200" wall H13 tool steel wrist pins
• Ring set with gas-nitrided 1.2mm top, 1.2mm cast iron secondary, and 2.8mm chrome-plated oil control ring included
