Default What bearings should I get?

Hey guys I'm rebuilding a B16A3 and I haven't decided on high compression or turbo yet buy I was wondering what bearings I should use? What is a good brand because Honda wants to charge a crapload, plus I'm gonna be putting a lot of HP on them so I don't think OEM parts will be best.

OEM Honda bearings are the best bet. That's what all of the higher HP turbo guys use. They're a hair softer than some of the aftermarket ones which means that if something has to go, the bearings will get chewed up rather than the crank / rod journals. You could also look into ACL, but again, i would stick with OEM...i did
