Picking a 96 sti engine up and to be positive it's a genuine sti engine is there any way to make sure it is an sti engine besides the red inlet?

No not really unless you pull a piston out to see if it is a HF Forged type (assuming it is a standard/unmolested engine).

I have a 96 STi wagon but the inlet is silver and it came like this as standard.

And if i'm not wrong it should have the yellow 440 cc injectors if it is STI.

- 1996 could be a MY96 STi Version II (Sep 95 - Aug 96).
If so, engine code on the VIN should read EJ20GDW5** (don't mean to say that's what's in the car now of course!!!)

They have 380cc grey/blue injectors and no visible coilpack on the inlet manifold (the 'coilpacks' are on the plug-end of the ignition leads).



- 1996 could also be a MY97 STi Version III (Sep 96 - Aug 97).
If so, engine code on the VIN should read EJ20KDW6**.

They have 440cc yellow injectors and a coilpack/HT leads centrally fixed to the inlet manifold.
