how to recognize a 1996 civic si?

Hey folks,
I'm new to this forum - Kudis for admin and everyone that spend some time helping each others enjoy their experience with Honda!

I just purchased a 1996 Honda(second owner). the car is a coupe, made in the US, i am in Canada, the car says "coupe" under the civic emblem and an SI tag is attached under the tail light.
The engine is a D16y8 and no vtec sign is in view.

The car is manual. I want to know if the car is a real si, if it is a vtec or no and if it is a OHC or DOHC

thks

D16Y8 is the american EX version labeled SI as he said. It does have VTEC as well.
