You can tell by rotating the input shaft with the transmission in fifth gear. If more than 3.5 turns (~3.75 turns) are required to make the differential housing spin one revolution, the transmission is a B16A S1. If less are required (~3.25 turns), then the transmission is an LS S1. Unfortunately, this is not something you can check unless you pick up yourself. And, from what I have heard, there is nothing in the transmission code that indicates whether it is a VTEC or non-VTEC transmission.
