Many years of experience in research and design of racing pistons have lead us in the development and manufacturing of a highest quality range of high performance forged pistons.
The combination of:
1. Accurate steps of designing and manufacturing process
2. The utilization of the latest CAD and FEA analysis software
3. The machining on exact tolerances on our state of the art machining centres
4. The internal extra machining for maximum weight reduction
and balancing of less than 0.5grams (in some cases even less than 0.3grams) ensure maximum reliability and performance. Pistons are tested on high boost conditions and horsepower levels.
All of our pistons are manufactured using state of the art facilities.
All of our pistons are inspected to highest Standards and Non-destructive Testing Standards that check for imperfections, and are vapour blasted and shot peened internally not only to relieve stress but also to show any imperfections that could lead to the forging being rejected as not being suitable to our exacting standards.
Pistons heat-treated and artificially aged to allow piston to meet the highest T6 specification.
Finally are hand finished and individually weighed giving it that extra personal touch and grouped into balanced engine sets, with tolerances held so tight it is not unusual to have less than 0.3 grams between a set of pistons.
Additionally our pistons series come with the highest specification rings that are made to the world’s highest standards from the highest-grade materials, chosen for the application and manufactured by, what we feel, the world’s leading ring manufacturer who happens to supply all of the F1 racing teams
Our in-depth expertise in prototype construction enables us to deliver small-batch productions of dedicated pistons that meet the highest technologic demands and match 100% our customer needs. DP fabricates components to extremely precise dimensions, within very low tolerances and with excellent reproducibility, in large or small batches for various racing teams globally.
Various different piston types and designs are available according to actual engine needs and level of performance. Round type for street performance applications, slippery skirt lightweight designs for upgraded aspirated race engines, turbo reinforced types for high performance turbo engines and the top of the range fully box bridged piston designs both inner and outer braced for the serious racer and Turbo Drag application. 3D billet crown optimization (Top and Inner) is also available when required. When engine requires we can also add vertical porting for better ring sealing, and through forced feed pin oil holes for extra pin boss relaibility.
