You need the applied model code to find out exactly what model it is and here is some info for you.

thanks guys for help.
banny see the guy only has the engine and the code above are the only 1's i could see and he is telling me that its a 96 sti but want to make sure he not just saying that to me. i dont really understand all them number on the website you give me but do you know if any off them match my number thanks

 

He has not provided the applied model code e.g. GC8A48D, this is also on the vin tag and will confirm what model it is.

that what i mean he got rid of his car and he only as the engine mate and he said thats the only codes that are on the engine

 

Yeah, but in this instance, the Applied Model code wouldn't necessarily help in ascertaining if it's the appropriate engine or not - it could be an exchange engine of the wrong type, for example.

So if those numbers on the engine that the OP posted actually mean something, then we need an expert to decypher.... APIDavid, where are you when we need you?!

 

no prob then hopefully someone can shine light of this thanks guys

 

Searched the whole of google and not found anything so far but will keep looking

wrchammy, if you're getting desperate, then try to PM or email APIDavid. Please bear in mind he's very busy, so may not be able to answer you immediately.

 

My sti 3 engine, which I had removed had no letters on the pistons.

il not pm him he might post up if he not busy thanks guys

 

Version 1 ~ 2 Dogbone Pistons (cast and forged) have L and R stamped on the crown, Version 3 ~ 4 pistons have no L and R markings.

The only difference between non-STi and STi v3/4 blocks is the cast and forged pistons respectively. Everything else the same. The heads are the main difference.

 

Are the rods, crank and bearings same-same?!?
Where are the difference in rev-ability? (valves and valve-springs?)
