Building a budget 2.33
Don't laugh but I'm going to try and build a 2.33 on a budget. I've got an option on a new EJ22T for not bad money but will need to get the uprated parts on the cheap too.
What I need at this stage is suggestions on where/what to buy in the way of crank, pistons and rods. I was thinking of an STI 9 crank but not too sure about the other components.
Feel free to mock or make suggestiosn as you see fit.
Cheers

(edited to add some other useful stuff)
2.5 crank
Steel Rods
Forged Pistons
Uprated Oil Pump
And a gas load more other stuff and detail!
I doubt very much 2.33 and budget go together to be honest. Once the bottom end is built, you will need suitable heads, cams and turbo to get the most out of your short motor. Then depending on what you have and what you want to do, you may have to look at alternative management etc.

to give you the full picture I already have a few mods on my current motor (STI 5) but felt I was coming to the limit on the standard internals. So I got some prices on a built 2.0 CDB and there didn't seem to be too much of a difference to go that little but further and get my dream team spec.
I'll be carrying over,
GT30
Hybrid FMIC
Apexi PFC, AVCR
Walbro pump and sx reg
Apexi 740's
H&S 3" decat and Apexi N1 sytem
and probably a load of other things that I can never remenber and add that to my current heads.
Should say at this point I've decided to go the whole hog and get Axis to take care of the oily bits for me. Should be fun!

i just came back from usa and when i was there i cashed £100 up and got $163 
plus in usa they then have to add their tax to everything so it would of been more than that for the 2nd hand block 
plus it didnt sell as it didnt reach its reserve, personally id buy that ej22t block and get it shipped to the UK as he ships world wide
