Is it possible to swap the K20 + 10speed auto on the new accord 2.0t and Acura RDX into a EG or EK Civic ? I'm new to swaps and I'd love to drive manual but traffic in my area is hell and I prefer a auto in my use case

It’s possible.

Way more effort and money than it’s worth, especially if you’ve never done a swap before.

im guessing that it will be much harder than just a manual swap ?

If you're set on swapping in an auto, do a k20 + auto from an rsx. New car ECUs have so many other systems integrated in them they would be throwing all sorts of codes

but how much power can the RSX auto hold? The 10spd can hold 400hp and will shift faster than the one from the rsx

It'll handle probably 300hp. Like Colin said, new ECUs are much more advanced than old ones.

I suspect the mounting would be different as well. I'm not sure if this has even been done before. If that's the case, get it out of your head.

No idea, more than enough for an ek, it will also shift plenty fast enough. Talk to a trans shop for actual numbers. This is also a much cheaper and feasible swap.
