i think only 94-95 valve covers had the "VTEC" carved into them. check the engine code.. if its d16z6 you are in good shape

i think all the SI's came with sunroof, but i could be wrong and the best way to kno is look at the engine code engraved into the block on the end where the tranny bolts up

So the # should say D16z6? cause i have this helms book and it said
1.5L, 8valve, SOHC (70) hp D15B8
1.5L, 16valve, SOHC (102) D15B7
1.5L, 16valve, SOHC VTEC-E (92) D15Z1
1.6L, 16valve, SOHC VTEC (125) D16Z6
Also when we took it for a drive it doesnt feel has strong has my friends DX hb with Si cams, exhaust, intake..

Yes he has minor mods, but it sure pulls for a DX motor, but i wouldnt think it be almost has quick has the si, or is it that the si is stock and weighs 200+ lbs..?

so we've got somet things down

1. its an Si body at least
2. only 94 and 95 valve covers say "VTEC"
3. you need to look at the block for "D16z6"
4. his motor is broken in FOR HIM, so it feels faster, because of how the motor works for him+he has mods.
