Upgrade your Kawasaki Teryx KRX1000 with the JE Pistons 379449 piston kit, engineered for high performance and durability. Featuring aligned grain flow technology, these pistons are forged in-house to optimize grain orientation around critical stress points, increasing strength and resistance to fatigue. The design incorporates lateral gas ports that direct combustion gases to the back of the top ring groove, creating pressure behind the compression ring to ensure a tight seal and consistent power output, especially beneficial in boosted or high-horsepower applications. The ultra-thick ring lands contribute to maintaining ring stability under demanding conditions, enhancing both performance and longevity.
The piston crown is coated with a thermal barrier ceramic, significantly reducing heat transfer into the piston material. This coating helps prevent heat-related fatigue, extending the lifespan of the piston under intense operating conditions. A proprietary moly-based dry film skirt coating minimizes operating friction, improving wear resistance and reducing engine drag. An accumulator groove adds volume to trap unwanted gases below the top ring, maintaining low pressure and high ring seal efficiency. Two oil channels fed into the wrist pin bore ensure proper lubrication, decreasing wear on wrist pins and pin bores.
This complete piston kit includes all necessary components: pistons, rings, wrist pins, and wire locks, providing a comprehensive upgrade for your engine. Upgraded 9310 alloy wrist pins are included, offering increased strength and thickness to withstand the additional loads associated with forced induction or high-performance engines. Designed specifically for the Kawasaki Teryx KRX1000, this piston kit delivers reliable power, enhanced durability, and improved performance in demanding off-road environments, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts seeking a high-quality upgrade.
