how to tell if its rb25de+t or rb25det?

[CarNoob]

so i was browsing in fb market and found an r33 coupe for 14k. rumours are he had a 25de in before and i was wondering if he just slapped a turbo on it or its a genuine 25det and what would be the difference between 25de+t and 25det in terms of performance, here are some pics. and the only pic of the engine bay.

I guess we don't really need to see the whole ad? Those pictures aren't going to help solve your mystery either.

The chassis plate tells you how the car was built , same as any car

Yeah, but I guess what he wants to know if how to tell if the motor itself started out as a DE and can't be bothered googling.

Go see the car and get the vin and engine number and check.

Inspect car, take a borescope with you, pull a sparkplug, insert borescope check pistons D'ONT have valve cutouts. If pistons have valve cutouts its a +T

interestingly it came with an RB20E - will you even be able to register it?

He's in NZ, so he could probably register it if it came with a Mahindra engine in it. They're not as constrained by import rules as we are.
