Recognize these JDM EJ20 motor specs?

Hello Everyone,

New to the Forum here.

I'm looking at buying my first Forester, and one of my choices is a '98 sf5 (USDM), but has had a "JDM EJ20 from a '99 sf5" engine swap.

I'm trying to figure out which EJ20 this could be.

The seller says it was factory rated at 280hp. Dyno sheets show that it is putting down about 185hp to the wheels.

Any guesses on what motor this might be? I'm guessing that it is a JDM EJ20G (250hp). I haven't come across anything showing that there was a 280hp engine made for the Forester for '99.

Is there an easy way to pull a serial number off the motor to confirm exactly what it is?

Thanks for any help.

Adam
