im going to install turbo on my b16a2.
im going to change the main and rod bearings, ive heard acl race is the best, is there any other i could buy?
plus i cant find the acl race bearings , i found it on ebay a couple of months ago, but at the moment cant find it at ebay.
so i need help. thanks in advance

 

I wouldnt use ACL RACE Bearings unless its really a RACE motor. If you are going to use ACLs, the least I would put are the regular bearings.

On a side note: I dont recommend ACLs at all in any rebuild. Many have been lucky with it since their motors have pretty close clearances to what
the ACLs fit to, but in a good number of cases, a "UNIVERSAL" sized bearing like the ACLs are not the right way to rebuild the block.
The ACLs do fit the an acceptable "range". But keep in mind that a certain measurement might be off a bit and can cause one to be tigher than the others
or the opposite, of some being looser than the others. So you dont get the Exact clearance on each one. We get some customers ending up sending their blocks to us since the ACLs they put in ended up with spun bearings after a few thousand miles.
It's your call on what to use, just wanted to put my 2 cents from our experiences.

 

so what to use instead of them then ?
also do you knoiw what make the orijinal beargins are ?

 

most pro honda engine builders prefer the OEM bearings.

 

what brand are the orijinal bearings ?

 

Original bearings are from HONDA dealer. They are classified by Colors. Each color determine the sizes.

 

i think they are Honda, but ill look it up when i get a chance.

 

thanks,
by the way got all my parts expect for a few things, like bearings.
also there are many cluthc brands and stages, which the best that can handle over 300hp

 

just get oem and should hold ya down just fine

 

for a clutch, i would suggest a stage2 Exedy or ACT, with a lightweight flywheel if you can afford it, and at least getting the stock one resurfaced.
