yes, you can put one in any car provided it has good compression, and a 2010 is brand new.

The question is more "should you". No one will take a souped-up automatic Civic seriously. Also at least in the old models, the automatic transmissions could barely handle stock horsepower.

I'm just going to go ahead and save you some time and headaches.


You're not ready to be modifying cars, end of story. Stick to routine maintenence and reading up on how cars work. You can't just start throwing parts in your engine bay and think you're an oobur l33t street racer. You need to know your fundamentals, and all the basics about how and why a car works the way it does, how modifying affects the way it works, etc..

Honestly, modifying an Auto Civic (especially one that's BRAND NEW and still under warranty) is a TERRIBLE idea.

I wouldn't waste me money on it.. Save your coin and eventually you'll be able to buy something quick and fun to play with.

I won't apologize for the bluntness of my previous post. There is a wealth of knowlege on this forum, at your fingertips, all you need to do is run a search.
