The high performance aftermarket never ceases to amaze, right? It is a forward looking industry that works hard to meet the demands of an ever evolving customer base and an ever evolving world of engines! Take MAHLE Motorsport for a second. These men and women are not just sitting around popping out pistons for LS engines and big block Fords. They know that today’s modern hot rodders like to tweak on and wick up the most current engine platforms and that’s why they stay with and most of the time ahead of the curve for their applications. This Ford EcoBoost 1.6L shelf stock PowerPak Plus piston kit is another example.
These small engines are being raced hard in rally competition, autocross, and yes, even at the drags. The 2.0 and 2.3L EcoBoost engines are making wild power already and it stands to reason that the little 1.6L unit will also capture the imagination of young racers and hot rodders as well. Forged from 2618 alloy and using all of the combined technology the company has amassed over the years, these babies are ready for more boost, more cylinder pressure, and more hard work on the race track, the rally course, or the drag strip.
