Hi - not sure how the engines differ appearance wise, but the 1993 Carina GTi is the 155bhp version (according to the brochure I have at home. The engine was uprated mid-1994 as far as I'm aware (when the new Celica came out which shares the same engine).

Pre94/L reg carinas are a 155bhp gen2 3SGE, post94/M reg are a 173bhp gen3 3SGE :)

I'll see if I can hunt out some photos later on of the different gens on engine for you :D
