JE History
The origins of what we know today as JE Pistons can be traced back to 1912 and the Los Angeles foundry of William Jahns Sr. and his company W.H. Jahns. Employing the tagline, “Nothing but Pistons,” the W.H. Jahns company produced pistons and semi-finished pistons until 1948, when Jahns Sr. retired. Meanwhile, Jahns’ son, William “Uncle Bill” Jahns Jr., started and had been working on his company Jahns’ Racing Pistons since 1947. Shortly after, the business became Jahns’ Engineering Pistons, and was finally shortened to JE Pistons.
Through the following years, JE Pistons’ technology evolved, from mastering casting technology in the 60s to researching and implementing forging technology in the 70s. Numerical Controlled (NC) machines were introduced to manufacturing in the early 80s, which was quickly improved to the use of Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machines and a proprietary piston design and machining program in the mid-80s.

#Didyouknow For the average person knowing that stock pistons are cast, race pistons are forged aluminum, and that's all that matters. In a perfect world this would be enough for most of us. But for us builders and racers, understanding the distinct advantages of the common alloys makes the 2618 alloy the clear choice for racing applications.
The 2618 alloy's exceptional high-temperature strength makes it the top choice for demanding racing, particularly sustained wide-open-throttle conditions. Its key advantage lies in its low silicon content, providing significantly greater malleability under high-load, high-stress scenarios, such as those involving power adders.
If you find yourself straddling the alloy fence, the good news is it’s difficult to make a bad decision when it comes to a forged piston.

do you do a High Comp piston that would suit a NA Barra
next step is selected forged pistons ! like in F1
When you add boost you need the good stuff
*made.
Are forged less hard than cast hence the malleability?
