I would get the B18 to be honest. You'll have more fun with the B18 in your hatch.

How much do you have to spend? The b will be more $ and work but will be the best option as well.

If you really have an Si hatchback then you should already be wired for VTEC. Did somebody REMOVE the D16Z6 in favor of a D15 in your car?
