Inlet manifold is a good start. If it looks more angular, it is a m20b20. if the pipes look more curved it is a m20b25.
This is only a guidline as someone could have fitted a b20 inlet to a b25 at some point.

Engine type number will tell you. There's a flat machined area on the block near the LH engine mount, which has the engine type number and serial number stamped into it.
If the first two numbers of the type number are 20 then it's a 2 litre.
25, then it's a 2.5.
