I was just wondering if DSM's carry a certain engine # to identify them like hondas have B20,B16 and so on.

Only number i could find was on the tranny and its W5M332WPGE
SB0386

Just thought this might help me identify my engine and tranny ( i bought a car that supposed to have Evo III engine and tranny).

We do its called a 4g63. That pic is so small how can we tell you anything. There nothing special about a jdm motor like with a honda. There is no difference in that motor and the stock one except for the intake manifold and maybe something else minor.
 
Well thats the only pic i could post and there is a bit of a difference, about 50 to 60 hp on a stock motor. Compression is higher and the manifold is alot better than a Stock 4G63 and i am not sure what else.






But anyway thanks for the reply, i am just trying to figure out if i have a Evo block and transmission that i was told was in the car when i bought it.
 
If you have an evo trans the gearing will be different you would have to have a evo 3 rear end as well. Why not asking what rear end is in it. I'm sure someone knows a way to tell the diff. I really don't think the difference is 50 to 60 hp just on the motor. Maybe if you have the evo 3 16g with it as well.
 
LoL ya thats true maybe i should take a look at the rear end and get some numbers off it to see if i can search and find any info on it.
 
yeah theres engine codes as well as chassis codes.

420a, 4g63 engine codes as compared to the honda.


sedit: sorry didnt fully understand the question.
 
He was asking if there were engine codes that tell different variations of the 4g63 not about the 420a. There is not a differnce in the engine code to tell the difference in different 4g63's. Every company has engine codes, but like the b18a1 and b18c1 there isnt a 4g63a1 or whatever
