K20 A/T Swap? Yes, I know this may sound stupid and pointless, but I'm curious about it none-the-less.
Currently I have an A/T EX and was wondering about the feasability of an RSX A/T swap. You guys say it's stupid to go with an A/T, but I like the idea of boosting an A/T car. You've got a better chance of running constant boost, whereas with a M/T, you'll lose a bit of boost pressure between each shift.
Anyway, I'm just wondering what you guys think. Is it really possible to do that swap? Is it even really worth it? I'm sure that it's going to cost a bit more because of the automatic tranny. This way I wouldn't have to worry about cutting up my firewall and stuff to install a clutch pedal and a clutch master cylinder and all that jazz.
I'm just looking for opinions or ideas here, so lemme hear em!

Rep Power: 401 i for one would like to see a swapped k20 AT. call me crazy but i favor boosted AT's more than MT, not just cuz you dont lose boost between shifts but its more appealing having a car a little old lady could drive but yet you could still kick some *** at the track. i dont think the swap has ever been done to my knowledge.

Rep Power: 0 lets see, the new si doesnt have the option of automatic, so ur probably not talkin about that, and the type s doesnt come with an automatic option, not that i know of anyway. dont think its possible man, someone correct me if im wrong, but i dont think they made autos for those cars.
Its a celebration bitches!
