CP was founded in 1998 and for over a decade have manufactured high performance pistons that never compromise quality or workmanship.

CP Pistons is ISO 9001:2000 certified to ensure customers of consistent high quality. Their motivation and continuous pursuit of perfection comes from racing and the relationship they have with the people that make up the motorsports community.  Not only do they manufacture speedway pistons but also supply components to NASCAR, formula One, F3000, CART and World Rally racing teams, as well as elite factory teams such as Ferrari and Porsche.

SWR believes the CP piston, together with the HSC3 coating, is the ultimate component in the latest four stroke technology and has proven excellent results within the engines that we are building.

CP Pistons the new generation piston for racing.
X forgings are designed to minimise friction and reduce weight without compromising strength.  With the use of bracing and ribs, the forging is configured by adjusting the weight balance between high and low stress areas.  This design enables the use of a shorter pin for added strength and weight saving.
Accumulator Grooves is a V-shaped groove machined into the 2nd ring land to collect excess gases during combustion and alleviate ring flutter, thus maximising ring seal and increasing.	Double Pin Oilers in conjunction with our dual fed reservoir add twice the amount of oil from the cylinder wall to the wrist pin.
Anti Detonation Groove (Contact Reduction Grooves) are grooves that protect the top ring by disrupting detonation waves.  Also known as contact reduction grooves, these grooves limit the piston/cylinder contact during high temperature and RPM.	HSC3 skirt coating offers additional lubricant in times of extreme heat or heavy wear situations.  The coating is designed to reduce friction on the skirt by providing a buffer to the cylinder.
Lateral Gas ports are channels drilled at the bottom of the top ring land that assist in ring seal.  These channels allow combustion gases to enter behind the top ring and improve ring seal by forcing the ring against the cylinder wall during combustion.  Gas ports are most commonly used with back cut rings, which have less friction and better performance characteristics.
