Hello guys
Well iv been thinking about what to do next to my car power wise, the guy I brought it off said it had a rebuild and was a later spec engine but no paper work to back it up.. The actual block has been sprayed a very light gold/silver colour is there a way I can tell off engine numbers? If so where can I find them or what can I look out for? All I can see is the ej20 and some numbers where the starter is. It came with a vf35 turbo on it so was wondering if they just put a newer lump in it??
Any help/advise would be great

 

mine is a my2000 wrx jdm import and engine code is ej207 i think ej205 is also import the main difference as far as i know is the inlet manifold gaskets etc are different hope this helps

 

Oh right mate mine is ej20 so must be normal version 4 sti bottom end, is there any inspection holes you can get a camara in to check rod/pistons
