Bearings / rings ?

[MrD]

Righty i am not far off accruing enough cash to buy the bearings and rings for my 9a / kr build up. which ones should i go for? building this engine up too be very strong,as it`s going too take quite a lot of stick,flywheel will be lightened and balanced with the crank and the vr clutch i am fitting.Will be using Arp bolts.I will be aiming for around 170 bhp to start with,but the engine needs to be strong enough for future plans,mnot sure what they may be yet,but might possibly involve a turbo,have found with the current engine,that i want more power

Don`t want too pay main stealer prices if i can help it,can anyone recommend a good brand ? Gsf are they ok for bearings ?

Don`t want too pay main stealer prices

have you actually checked what the price is from your local main agent? for many parts they are actually cheaper than GSF

[MrD]

No,not for this stuff,think i will though ,now you mention it

[Brunty]

I've used KS bearings.

[MrD]
