Has this been done before?
I searched and didn't find anything about what i want to now. Is it possible to swap an automatic k20a3 or k24 into an Es2? If it has been done then all i need is a simple yes/no answer. Thanx guys.

^ I'd suggest not to swap the car if your car is a family car just because it wont drive like the car came with it for sure.
I'm not sure if a K-series auto transmission would fit because the transmission is slightly bigger ... also there is no mount currently produced for the autotransmission which means you needing to custom make one.

doing auto swaps is always a royal pain in the *** because you also have to get the transmission to work with a redone harness after its swapped. You're better off trading up to an accord or TSX and calling it a day.

Well if thats the case I need to find a wrecked es2 from thailand. Haha, easier said than done though. U.S. always gets the shitty end of the stick when it comes to Japanese cars.

Yeah i know it wont be as reliable or feel like it ame that way from the factory but i have already invested a lot into my car so i will probably just buy another D17 and do a good turbo build. Even though the auto trans might get fried in a couple months after doing so. I might just teach my wife how to drive manual so she can drive it since she drives it more than i do anyways.
