J40k-mo Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Has anyone ever used any taiho bearings? For the bottom end, I have been looking at some for my forged engine, by all sounds they supply bearings for Toyota in Japan, so there classed as oem quality,Is this true? Has anyone ever run any etc?Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wickedep Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 from day one my car has used Genuine Taiho bearings every time i've rebuilt my motor. they are a OEM manufacturer. i've had my car go from stock to 400+bhp over the years with boost levels varying from 0.6-2.5bar...never had an issue. the only time i experienced a bearing issue is when i switched to ACL. as it sits..my car is 440bhp for now with taiho bearings. as long as they are genuine taiho, i dont think you will have an issue. sacha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J40k-mo Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Thank you very much lads! Are the ones on eBay get ones? Item number is 291716267889Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Judging by the response to this thread these should be the automatic go to bearings for a rebuild. Most people tend to use ACL and ive seen a few threads where they have failed lately so I think more people should be made aware of these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GP82 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Remember to check clearence with plasticgauge Good advice! X2 good to check clearences with plastiguage for a visual reference, it's good practice because a bearing can potentially be marked wrong. I used a telescopic bore gauge to check the mainline tunnel and big end's then plastiguage for the visual reference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
