Traum Piston Options (K20C-Specific)We offer two tiers of Traum pistons for K20C engines, both sharing the same high-quality piston design.
Piston crown (top surface) often features a carefully shaped bowl or indentationfor turbo efficiency, premium steel rings. Available in common bores: 86.0 mm (stock), 86.5 mm, 87.0 mm, etc., with compression ratios like ~9.8:1 (stock-like)- Option 1: Standard Turbo Pistons (with Standard Wrist Pin)
- Traum's proven base design, rated at750+ hp by the manufacturer.
- Includes standard 22 mm wrist pins, premium rings, and locks.
- Ideal for mild-to-moderate builds: street tunes, big-turbo setups on E85/pump gas, or daily-driven upgrades staying under ~600 hp.
- Excellent value for reliable power without overkill.
Option 2: Turbo Pistons with Heavy Duty Wrist Pin Upgrade
- Same piston crown, skirt, and ring package as Option 1 for seamless compatibility.
- Upgraded heavy-duty wrist pins (thicker wall, higher-strength material) for superior resistance to bending, flex, and extreme side loads under high torque/boost.
- Traum pistons are rated at750+ hp. but here at Golden Eagle we believe in over building. If you plan on hitting 600+ hp. we would highly recomend the upgraded HD pin option.
- Recommended for serious builds: 600–900+ hp targets, aggressive launches, high-boost E85 tunes, or track/strip use where pin durability is critical.
Why Choose Traum Pistons from Golden Eagle?
- Direct fit across turbo K20C variants (K20C1/K20C4/K20C8 share identical piston geometry; K20C2 works well for boosted swaps).
- Shelf/custom options for quick turnaround; proven in high-power Honda turbo communities.
- We prioritize safety margins — overbuilding means peace of mind for your build goals.
Important Builder Notes:
- Match to your rods, deck height, head gasket, and target compression for proper quench and clearance.
- Always verify piston-to-valve clearance (especially with aftermarket cams like Kelford Stage 2).
- Professional assembly recommended; pair with ARP head studs, quality gaskets, and proper ring end gaps for boosted applications.
- Not offering the Outlaw Spec (1000+ hp reinforced crown with pin buttons) for K20C at this time — contact us if you need extreme custom options.
- Unsure on your variant (e.g., K20C1 vs. K20C4 differences)? Provide year/model/VIN — these work across the family.
