Chassis letter definitions  
S=Chassis  
R=Hatchback  
K=HICAS  
P=SR20DET  
H=KA24E  
M=KA24DE

Engine  
-First letter(s) in the code is the Engine Series (CA ,SR, RB, VG, VQ)  
-The 2 numbers is the displacement in liters (IE,  
24=2.4 ,20=2.0)  
-Next letter (if there is one)Is Valve train(IE,  
V=VVL[variable valve lift], D=DOHC, neither  
Its SOHC  
-Next letter is how the fuel is delivered (IE,  
E=fuel injection)  
-If there is a next letter, then it uses Forced I
