Question on doing an Automatic EG with a k swap?
I live in a high traffic area, eventually I want to do a k swap on my eg, whihc is an automatic, I would love to keep the automatic, because in all honesty I don't have the patience for manual. But after some searching I haven't found much info, so will it be more complicated then the thoroughly covered Manual K swap? Will I have issues with mounting the transmission, or anything of that nature, any advice is always appreciated.
There's a reason for that. Your best bet is researching here. http://www.k20a.org/forum/index.php

I'm not going to tell you it can't be done, but it's probably a lot more trouble than it's worth. Also K-pro is a manual only deal IIRC. Using the stock ECU requires a lot of extra wiring and swapping the fuel tank. Honestly driving a manual, even in a high traffic area is pretty simple.

If you really want a swapped automatic EG you'll probably end up with a B-series. Even then, my friend who did it had a hell of a time with it. Lots of wiring and then I think he went through three or four transmissions before he sold the motor and did a manual conversion with a different swap.
Are there any shops that have this down to a science? I have an evo I don't really want to make this manual, I'm guessing the easiest is a mini swap then, but I'm really not looking to do that.
The ultra rare swap he asking about. Yeah, I don't understand the question about a shop either. If you can't find any info on the swap anywhere then why would it follow that there would be a shop that specializes in such a swap?

I know a friend who had an auto h23a vtec 97 ek coupe which was kinda weird but it is probably the difference in wiring to the k that makes it harder but it can be done if you have time and patience.
Auto B, D, and H-series might fit. Doesn't mean K-series autos will.
I thought the post was about a K-series? These are two totally different engines. Have you ever even read what goes into either swap?
I know it's two different engines just saying an h is closer to the k in some ways like the cable for the trans and similar torque and power. I have had various h/f series motors auto and manual and seen auto k trans and they have the similar one cable to shift it so why can't it be done. I have an f22a1 with f20b pistons along with the f22 crank and rods it works perfectly but besides the point i know it's a k he's talking about and it can be done.
