ARP 88.0mm Tapered Ring Compressor

ARP 88.0mm Tapered Ring Compressor delivers precise ring compression for piston installation in 88mm bore engines. Designed for performance builds like Honda K-Series, Nissan RB26DETT, and Toyota 2JZ-GTE, the tapered shape guides pistons smoothly into cylinders without damaging rings. Engine builders rely on this durable steel tool for repeatable results in street and track assemblies.

Key Features

  • Tapered Design: Gradually squeezes rings to avoid breakage and ensure easy piston drop into bore
  • 88.0mm Precision Sizing: Matches exact bore diameter for secure fit on pistons from major aftermarket brands
  • Forged Steel Build: Handles high forces during installation with resistance to deformation over repeated use
  • Black Oxide Coating: Prevents rust in shop environments and simplifies cleanup after lube application
  • Ergonomic Shape: Provides firm grip for controlled compression during critical engine assembly steps

Product Notes

  • Inspect piston rings for proper seating before use
  • Store in dry area to maintain finish integrity
  • Compact size fits easily in toolbox drawers

Installation Notes

  • Professional installation recommended.
  • Lubricate rings and bore lightly then slide compressor over piston to compress
  • Compatible with standard forged and hypereutectic 88mm pistons no adapters needed

ARP

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) is the world’s premier manufacturer of high-strength engine and driveline fasteners—head studs and bolts, main studs, rod bolts, and more—engineered and manufactured in-house from start to finish for race-proven reliability. With vertically integrated processes that include cold heading, machining, heat-treating, thread rolling after heat treat, and rigorous QA, ARP maintains aerospace-level certifications (ISO 9001 and AS9100) and validates every part for repeatable clamp load and fatigue resistance. Signature alloys such as 8740 chromoly, ARP2000, L19, and Custom Age 625+ deliver ultimate tensile strengths up to the super-alloy range, while ARP Ultra-Torque fastener assembly lubricant helps achieve consistent pre-load during installation. From street performance builds to professional motorsport programs, ARP fasteners provide precise fitment, superior metallurgy, and the durability needed to keep engines together at elevated cylinder pressures and...

ARP Head Studs

ARP Head Studs

ARP head studs replace factory head bolts with precision-machined threaded studs that provide more consistent and repeatable clamping force on the cylinder head gasket. Unlike head bolts that apply torque through both rotational and tensile forces, head studs allow the nut to be torqued concentrically on a stud that is already stationary, producing more even clamping load across the entire head gasket surface. Popular ARP Head Stud Applications ARP head studs are available for a wide range of performance and turbocharged engines including the Subaru EJ series, Honda K series and B series, Mitsubishi 4G63 and 4B11, Honda Civic and Integra, Toyota 2JZ-GTE, Nissan SR20DET and RB series, GM LS series, Ford Coyote and 5.0, and Dodge/Chrysler HEMI applications. ARP offers both 8740 chromoly and ARP2000 alloy head stud kits, with the ARP2000 material providing approximately 20 percent higher tensile strength for high-boost applications above 30 psi. Why are head studs preferred over head b...

Fabrication

Fabrication

Fabrication parts and materials provide the raw components needed to build, repair, and modify custom exhaust systems, turbocharger plumbing, intercooler piping, fuel system lines, oil routing, and engine bay heat management on performance and competition vehicles. Stainless steel tubing, titanium tubing, aluminum charge piping, mandrel bends, pie cuts, flanges, merge collectors, V-band clamps, O2 sensor bungs, AN fittings, PTFE hose kits, braided fuel and oil lines, heat shields, and welding supplies are the backbone of any serious custom fabrication project. Professional fabricators, race team mechanics, and advanced DIY builders who want full control over exhaust routing, charge pipe layout, or fuel system plumbing choose raw fabrication materials rather than pre-bent kits because custom fabrication allows fitment solutions that no universal kit can accommodate. Brands including Vibrant Performance, Ticon Industries, Stainless Bros, Radium Engineering, Fragola, and DEI provide th...
