Or a well built engine, with the good bits will cost more than 20k on it's own.
I'll build you one for half that. All top-brand parts.

So can I as we distribute the parts, but that said, I was eye balling a Billet Whineberg 4G crank at PRI, that was $1475 inc GST USD to us. So it can add up.

This one would do very well in a RHD Starion

£1500=>2800AUD? Try building a 2,3L stroker for that!
Things like that pop's up from time to time...

Don't forget that you will need a new gearbox as the stock box won't last long.

You can swap an evo td05 on if you port the exhaust manifold to suit. You'll need to modify the intercooler piping (if you have one) a bit plus the downpipe. Unless you get the turbo exhaust housing machined to suit. Plenty of options...
