Pistons

Magnus 4G63 PistonMagnus has been at the forefront of Mitsubishi piston design and technology for over 10 years. Within this time we have produced every type of combination of piston that you could possibly dream of. Looking for that special combination for your motor, just ask because we may have it, chances are we have already done it. Compression ratio’s from 7.5:1 to 12.5:1 have already been engineered and tested, no need to experiment with someone else’s product. We take the guesswork out of it for you.

Magnus pistons are built for maximum power. All pistons are for turbo and nitrous applications, unless specified for naturally aspirated use. Our pistons are designed to be lightest weight possible yet retain the most strength possible. High strength, taper wall pins are used in all applications. Pistons are designed to reduce thrust loading on cylinder walls, while prolonging bearing life at high RPM’s and remaining silent in their bores, even when installing at loose tolerances of .005” plus. Mitsubishi pistons feature our famous detonation fighting quench pad dish.

Our piston list will now stock the most popular sizes of pistons. Any type of piston is available by special request, however, you must allow between 3 – 5 weeks for delivery and between 5 – 8 weeks during racing season.

Billet Crankshafts

In our many years of racing experience, we would perform many selected operations to stock crankshafts to help us achieve our high horsepower and reliability goals. From knife-edging, to cryo treatment, to nitriding, to balancing, etc. In essence we would take a 700 dollar factory crank and massage it until we have spent close to 2000 dollars on the finished piece. We were still left with a product made from an inferior material that had structural limitations that no amount of metal treatment could alleviate. So we decided to design our own crankshaft out of the highest quality materials, for the maximum strength while making it lighter than original and through careful counterweight reengineering, removed the harmonics that come with removing your balance shafts.

Magnus is now exclusively offering crankshafts manufactured from lightened 4340 Billet chromemoly steel, with cross drilled oiling holes, large fillet radii, 2 lbs lighter than stock--yet 3 times as strong.

Available in custom strokes upon request.

Assembly Hardware

4G63 6 Bolt Main Girdle
Did you ever wonder why the 6 bolts never had a one piece main girdle like the 7 bolts? Don’t worry, this piece eliminates the common fretting problem found on the main caps and main bearing wear associated with high revving engines, and more commonly with the 100mm crank engines. The 6 bolt main girdles cleverly help secure the center main to the adjacent mains on your motor. This piece is a must with all high performance engine builds. Note, this piece must be used in conjunction with main studs, and your block must be align honed.

Magnus Head Studs

Back in Stock!

Don't put together your latest engine build without these fasteners. When we needed to hold down the cylinder head at all costs, "other" head studs were not up to par. Since 2002 when we were exploring pressure of over 60 psi on our methanol motors, we soon realized that what was available on the market was not up to the task of keeping the head firmly planted under extreme conditions and high cylinder pressures. Developed exclusively for use in Brent Rau's NDRA and NHRA winning race engine program which develops over 1400 hp, They are the very best headstuds you can buy, and are reusable over and over again! Magnus Head Studs

Headgasket sealing tip from our expert engine builder Marco Passante:
“ Put together your next engine build with these Magnus Studs a smooth surface finish of less than 40RA on the block and head in conjunction with our gaskets, and have a proper seal on you engine that can withstand all the hp you can make. ”

Magnus Metal Head Gasket
Tested on our race car to over 60psi of boost! You will not have anymore head gasket issues with our head gasket used in conjunction with our head studs.

Product Update - Magnus 2.2L
Magnus has been a the forefront of 4G63 engine technology for over 10 years. New to the Magnus stable of Engines is our phenomenal 2.2L powerplant.  We cannot say enough about this powerplant, and are excited about its potential.  This engine was created for those who wanted slightly more torque than the 2.0L provided, but wanted to rev higher than the 100mm 2.3L and 2.4L motors allowed safely.

Based on the 4G63 or 4G64 platforms, they have already proven themselves in over 1 year of rigorous testing on the racetrack and on the street. After the testing period is complete we are now able to release these engines to the public.  Featuring a broad flat torque curve, and favorable rod ratio's ranging from 1.63 to 1.76.  You can better your existing 2.0L rod ratio and still get more stroke and displacement. All the while, you can still be able to get those all important revs out of your engine to
make that top end horsepower that small displacement engines are famous for.

Spec sheet:
Available in either 4G63 or 4G64 tall deck variations
Available Aluminum rods or Steel rods
9500 RPM rev limit.
Methanol or Gasoline
Any compression ratio
Road race or Drag race.
Light weight Billet 4340 92mm Crankshaft
Available in 7 bolt or 6 bolt applications
Tested to over 1100 hp

Also available as a stroker kit, or as part of a crate motor.
