What bearings to use?
Building a B16 turbo for my 00 EM1. This is my daily driver, so I want it to be relaiable and last. My power goal is 275-300 wheel hp. As for the bottom end, its fully balanced and has all ARP studs, Eagle H-beams, and Wiseco pistons, ... the stock crank is un-cut.
What bearings do you guys reccommend?

Ones that you've measured to fit properly. OEM, ACL? It also depends on what kind of tolerances you want to run depending on how you want it to respond.

if u search around ul find some text on the ACL's not responding well to daily use.I would go OEM, they tend to work out good.

Re: What bearings to use?
i would use oem, if you have a built bottom end why not spend the little bit extra
fyi i have used acl with good and bad luck, on one motor they were perfect and had excellent clearances, on another they were a bit small and led to not enough oil pressure at idle
