King Racing Bearings | The Specialist in Engine Bearing Technology
Uncompromising precision for the world's most demanding engines. At Chicane Australia, we provide specialised supply for King Racing Bearings. By focusing exclusively on engine bearings, King has developed proprietary alloys and coatings that handle higher loads and higher RPMs than traditional performance bearings. We facilitate fast sourcing and reliable delivery across Australia for their elite XP and XPC series hardware.
The King Racing Metallurgy & Tolerance Advantage
King Racing is the choice of professional engine builders because of their pMaxBlack™ technology—a unique tri-metal structure that increases load capacity by 17% over standard racing bearings. Their Bull’s Eye Tolerance™ ensures that every bearing set is manufactured to the tightest possible range, eliminating the need for builders to "mix and match" shells to achieve the correct oil clearance. For extreme endurance and forced induction builds, their pMaxKote™ factory-applied solid film lubricant provides an extra layer of protection against metal-to-metal contact during cold starts and high-heat cycles.
Our sourcing capabilities cover the flagship King Racing range:
• XP Series (Extreme Performance): The industry standard for high-load street and track builds. Essential for Subaru WRX/STI (EJ20/25) and Toyota 86 / GR86 (FA20/24) engines.
• XPC Series (Coated): Featuring the pMaxKote factory coating, these are designed for extreme environments like 1000hp+ Ford Barra and Nissan GT-R (VR38) builds.
• Large-Journal Specialists: Precision-matched rod and main bearings for high-torque Nissan RB26/30 and Toyota 2JZ platforms.
• SmartWall™ Technology: Advanced geometric features that improve oil film thickness and distribution under high-RPM crankshaft deflection.
Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we provide the technical expertise to ensure you select the correct bearing clearances (Standard, .001" Extra Clearance, etc.) for your specific oil weight and crankshaft journal size. We work closely with our supply network to ensure your authentic King Racing hardware is sourced and despatched with professional care and speed.
King Racing FAQ
Why should I choose King XP bearings over OEM?
OEM bearings are designed for fuel economy and quiet operation, often using softer materials. King XP bearings are tri-metal performance units designed to withstand the massive cylinder pressures and high RPMs of modified engines. Their 17% higher load capacity ensures your crank and rods remain protected when you increase the boost.
Will King Racing bearings void my vehicle warranty?
Engine bearings are an internal mechanical component usually installed during a custom engine build. We strongly recommend checking with your authorised dealer to confirm their specific stance on internal engine modifications before installation, as these changes will typically affect the engine's factory warranty coverage.
How quickly can you source King Racing products?
We utilise a robust international and local supply network to provide the fastest possible turnaround. Most King XP and XPC bearing sets for popular Australian performance platforms are sourced and despatched within a short timeframe for delivery nationwide.
