Re: k20 automatic swap in an ek (gabb1)
It's been done plenty of times, there's lots of build threads with guys putting Ks into EK hatches, but I don't think I've seen one with an automatic in it. Didn't even know they made a K-series with an automatic trans

Doesn't make sense. Sure there's probably a market for it but it's a lot more fun to drive a car with that much power as a manual instead of an automatic, don't you agree?

Are manual swaps that much more than automatics?

Re: (gabb1)
no actually 6 speed manuel trans are way cheap depending on your engine if it's comes automatic then it cost more to convert your trans but if it comes stock with 6 speed then it cost WAY!!!! more to convert it to an automatic yea you can have an automatic k20 if you put a 07 CRV trans witch is an k24 automatic so yea

Re: k20 automatic swap in an ek (gabb1)
This is not going to happen, period. Automatic B-series swaps in EKs haven't even been perfected yet, they've been done but 99.9% of them don't work right, not only that but theres no aftermarket support for mounts. If you want a K20 swap then go find yourself a 6 speed tranny and shifter/shifter cables for it. If your car is currently an automatic then swap it, its really not adding much to the swap to do a manual conversion at the same time IMO.

Re: k20 automatic swap in an ek (94EG8)
this has been done. i meet someone with a ek k20 swap that was automatic. he needed the auto since he loss his leg in iraq. took him a long time to build and was pretty costly but he was happy with the end product.
to be exact he had the type s engine mounted to tsx tranny internals that were inside of an ep3 case... and kpro ofcourse.
i still have the guys number and if you really want i can find out where he has his build posted online.
