What should I do?
So far I have blown up two sr20de motors in the past month. One was bad to begin with because it had some blow by and when I got it into boost cylinder 3 rings said bye bye. I bought another motor from the junkyard and after 2 weeks of running that one I spun a bearing.
Now I found another sr20de out of my buddy's nx2000. Should I go through and replace the bearings or just hope that this one holds up?

maybe stop using known poor running engines, and unknown engines from the junkyard to boost.

not tryin to be a smart ass btw.

imo its best to start with a known good engine, and make sure your tunes appropriate.

At least tear it down and inspect the bottom end. You can decide what to replace after seeing the stuff.
