Hypatec Liquid forged ™

Hypatec® has developed its Liquid Forged™ range of pistons with a vision to create a new dimension in piston manufacturing design and technology.

Manufactured from high silicon alloy with T6 heat treatment using advanced high-speed two piece tooling that is specially designed to withstand the huge forces needed to manufacture a Liquid Forged™ piston. Combine strong high silicon T6 heat treated alloys and squeeze casting technology and you’ve got a Liquid Forged™ piston that is designed to perform.

Hypatec® Liquid Forged™ pistons provide great strength, excellent heat dissipation and less thermal expansion in a piston that is strong and tough, yet easy on cylinder walls. Low thermal expansion qualities mean that tight clearances can be used saying
goodbye to the rattly pistons of old during warm up.

Plus, Hypatec® Liquid Forged™ pistons come complete with cutting edge design features that include; lightweight full skirt design for extra strength, pressure and splash fed pin lubrication, ten drilled oil returns for first-rate oil control and race style tapered pins. All this adds up to reliable everyday use in high-performance street engines as well as being suitable for use in high-performance race engines.

Hypatec® Liquid Forged™ pistons can be purchased with cast, chrome or moly Hastings® piston rings however, Precision recommends Hastings® Powerflex® plasma-moly file back piston rings. Hypatec® Liquid Forged™ pistons are available to suit popular American and Australian V8 flat top applications and Nissan RB30 Turbo.
