R56 N14 Sneed Street Series Piston Set
Street-Ready Performance Pistons — Strength, Precision, and Everyday Durability
When your R56 MINI with the N14 engine is tuned, boosted, or driven hard, stock pistons quickly become a limiting factor. The Sneed Street Series Piston Set is engineered to provide a stronger, more resilient piston platform that supports elevated power targets and the demands of spirited street use — all while retaining OEM fitment and drivability.
These pistons bring a balanced combination of durability, performance geometry, and precision manufacturing that make them ideal for performance rebuilds and tuned street builds.
Built for Modified Street Performance
Stock pistons are designed for factory boost and power levels. Once boost, timing, or load exceeds stock limits, piston stress increases and the risk of fatigue, heat distortion, or ring seal issues rises. The Sneed Street Series pistons are engineered with improved materials, optimized dome profile, and precise machining to strengthen the combustion platform and sustain combustion pressures common in performance N14 engines.
Key Performance Features

Precision machining and balanced set
Tight tolerances and balance consistency support smooth engine operation from idle to redline. -
Direct fit for N14 engines
Drop-in replacement with no modifications required — reliable performance in rebuilds and upgrades.
Recommended Applications
-
Tuned street builds with elevated boost or aggressive maps
-
Top-end rebuilds where stock pistons are worn or stressed
-
Daily drivers with performance ambitions
-
Engines where reliability and upgraded internals matter
SneedSpeed Engine Philosophy
A performance engine should be strong throughout the combustion cycle — from intake to exhaust. Pistons see the brunt of cylinder pressures and thermal load, and when they’re an afterthought, performance gains can be compromised or limited. The Sneed Street Series pistons provide a durable bottom end foundation that keeps your N14 engine running strong and responding consistently — whether on the street or under spirited driving.
