H22A1 is a US motor, and 93 was the first year they started putting them in. If you're still unsure, post the VIN and we can tell you what it came with from the factory.

if its a 93 si like you say then the motor must have been swapped because si's are the h23 motor

Yeah, I think your right.

SR-V in Canada didn't come out till 96 I believe, so having an SI with v-tec should not be pissible in a 93 unless it was swapped (thats what I think anyway, not 100% sure though)

Another correction for you guys, if it is a U.S. Vtec model, the Vin starts with BB1, not BB4, thats the JDM car, and BB2 is the Si with the H23A1. Inside the drivers door there should be a tag on the back sill, says "trim level" it should say which level it was originally, S, Si, or Si-VTEC, and the paint code will be there as well!

And either the car was swapped or came with the engine originally, but the wiring harness is identical except for the vtec wiring, which is a whopping 3 wires. The Ecu should be a P13, unless someone put something else in the car.
