- Durable forged pistons for high-performance and longevity
Transform your aircooled VW engine with the Mahle Forged 90.5mm Barrel & Piston Kit, designed specifically for upgrading to 1776cc displacement. This kit bolts onto a modified Type-1 engine case paired with a standard 69mm crankshaft. For installation, the engine case and cylinder heads of your standard 1300-1600cc twin-port engine must be machined to fit. Engine cases and cylinder heads pre-cut for this upgrade are also available for a seamless setup.
Built for durability and performance, the forged pistons in this kit offer exceptional strength, with a denser grain structure that withstands greater loads than cast alternatives. Supplied by a trusted OEM manufacturer, this kit includes barrels, pistons, rings, gudgeon pins, and clips—everything needed to ensure your engine upgrade is built to last. Equip your VW with Mahle’s trusted quality and elevate your driving experience.

Thanks for the enquiry. I'm afraid we don't have the accurate spec outlining the machining sizes required, that we can pass on to you.
