Yes, all automatic US or Canadian RSX have a K20A3. I'm not sure about other countries.

it should be slower, its got a lot less power. H22 Preludes are nearly as fast as a K20a2 RSX.

KPro doesn't work for an automatic.

"The K-Pro ECU will not work on Automatic vehicles. Automatic ECUs cannot be converted to manual. "
http://www.hondata.com/kpro.html



So get a K20a2/z1/z3 and a new transmission and scrap the old engine and trans. Honda automatics are doodoo at best.
