You wont be able to tell just from the EJ20k, Unless it was an EJ22K as this was only in one car(22b), As far as i am aware.

EJ20K ..1994cc DOHC 16V Turbo - Design change from the EJ20G (96-98)

yep realised that after I posted and saw another link with many variations on that code.

For the twin turbo legacies it's simple: EJ20H is GT and EJ20R is GT-B. Thought it would be similar but noooooooo
