Have a look on the VIN plate inside the engine bay, on the left hand wing near the strut I think if my memory is right. The EJ20 code should be on there. This is the engine code itself - there will also be a chassis code as well.

The chassis code will probably start GC8 and the engine code is likely to be EJ20G or something but can't be sure...
